SO I have a plan, mostly it spawned with a silly idea of replacing Chrysalids with incubators and having them spawn magical girls rather than zombies, but now I have slightly grander designs. anybody who has NO IDEA what I'm talking about refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica Incubators are eldritch abominations from the 9th circle of beyond that coerce little girl into making a 'contract' with them, turning these girl into the typical Japanese sailor moon sort or character. what these evil bastards don't tell you is that your soul is crushed into a little gem and your body is just a husk that you possess and animate like a puppet, your soul has a limited range and oh yeah when you get depressed you turn into a world ending monster called a witch. but you never asked...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/7aro7dragoon/Kyubey_roll.gif anyway what I want to do is replace the models and animations of certain aliens with small four legged critters, what I need is advice, or maybe help for example I have no idea how to replace the models used in x-com or the animations, or what type of rigging x-com's engine feels comfortable with or anything. very inexperienced with this sort of thing but I am on a game's design course so this is the sorta thing I should be doing in my spare time and hell any experience is good experience right? so I'm not asking for help, I'm asking for advice. anything that can be given, from web tutorials to first hand experience.

Be patient... the pre-order bonuses ought to be on sale for the rest of you folks in due time. I'd speculate 3 more weeks? *grumble grumble*

anybody think it would be possible to mod the helmets into a none pre-order version of the game. missed pre order and I want those damn helmets, seems kind of unfair really.

I am using coverkhajiits, but surely a CTD couldn't be caused by a simple texture pimpage? my BOSS says nothing is conflicting and I haven't the slightest clue how to use Wrye bash, I may have created a sloppy bash patch, could that be causing it? it's weird how it's only affecting khajiit, I shall investigate more because this is really stating to aggravate me

thats just the thing though! it's a fresh character! no old save data. thats what makes it so... interesting

getting a rather unusual CTD at them moment, whenever I take off a Khajiit characters clothes. (for a totally ligitimate reason). the game dies. weirded out I dug deeper, sure enough, doesn't happen to humans or elves, just khajiit. strange. I uninstalled everything, all mods, all patches EVERYTHING and started again, and once again, attempted to remove the characters clothing. lo-and-behold another CTD. now I am totally at a loss since it doesn't seem to be a mod causing this, I've scanned the forums of a number of sites and this is the first i've heard of this CTD happening. anyone got any ideas?

Getting a strange error where no matter what weapon or armour I've equiped it gets the enchanted texture and sizzles when I draw it, EVERY. SINGLE. OBJECT. even my fists! I have no idea whats causing it.

fully supporting thing, have limited experince with modelling but i'm competant, give me another year and ill be able to work with animations. until then to get a spears project off the ground you will need a good modder to help with this, as pointed out earlier it's quite complex to impliment an entire new weapons set to the game. well just shoving spears in there as extra two-handed weapons is simple but for a proper spear experience you need an animator and a person experienced with implimenting such things into the game.

I'm a reasonably competants mesh artist using 3DS Max, if there is some art of it I can make it, would need an aditional artist to make textures and animations though, thats really not my area.

Cheers, I'll give it a try

trying to upload a Cass mod to change her face using the wonderful BlackBlossom's American albino mod. since I'm new to the modding scene I have more or less No Idea what I'm doing. essentially I edited Cass' face in the NV-GECK using the American Albino race as a template then loaded the resulting .esp into FOMM with the following load order: FalloutNV.esm FOOK-New Vegas.ESM MikotoBeauty.esm New Vegas redesigned.esm dD –Enhanced Blood Main NV.esp LeatherBackpack-eng.esp Readius_NV.esp Sideburns.esp SideburnsBeardShort.esp RHINO45-70MX_NV.esp AfricanAmericanAAlbino.esp MikotoBeauty.esp New Cass.esp <- My esp Fellout.esp FOOK-New Vegas.esp ELECTRO-CITY-Imaginator.esp Nevada Skies.esp however, whenever I load the game up it works fine until I try and load my save at which point I get a really irritating CTD. checked on NV-Edit and it obviously conflicts quite heavily with New Vegas Redesigned and a few certain fields like hair and eyes and race which says; <Error: Could not be resolved> tried fiddling around with the load order but to no effect. does anybody have any clue what could be causing the crashing and any way to make it not conflict with New Vegas Redesigned?

Getting a strange glitch with NV all character speech seems echoed for some reason, not a clue whats causing it but it happend after I uploaded and installed FOOK and the IMAGINATOR. Also seems to be an in game glitch rather than a corrupted save or something like that. anybody got any idea what's going on?

Being relatively new to Modifications I have had to learn fast and have managed to solve a couple of minor issues through guess work and the help of the lovely people on this board, however I have one pressing issue that refuses to be solved, I have an issue with Textures. every single mod I download and install refuses point blank to load, the meshes are there all the sounds are there but the objects remain a mass of glitching pixels regardless of what I attempt, all the files for sound, textures and meshes are in the data folder (like I assume they should be) but they refuse to load. :wallbash: I am stumped... any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated.
