Mezatron like weapon in the Mohave?

[charwo]

I'm looking for a weapon that does the Mezatron effects in FO3, but with greater reliability and without the crash issues. What I'm looking for on the roleplaying side is a way to pacify Clark County without the drama of slave collar and MEZ cells and such. Either the enslaving effect where a hostile NPC will never respawn or the catch and release method where when you take a slave collar off someone they become non-hostile permanently.

 

I'd like two things but they aren't required:

1. The ability to stun groups, rather than one at a time

2. The ability to set new factions (various raiders to Wastelanders mostly). I'd like to roleplay the destruction of the fiends after Vault 3 and the Powder Gangers after taking back the Prison, and given some of the mods, a delete feature would probably be required as well as a pacify one.

 

If such a thing exists, do tell. I've not been able to find it.

Project Nevada has something like that? Where?

Yeah that would be a cool mod and I don't think it would violate copyright to copy or reverse engineer the script. Although I guess it won't have any of the cool audio clips of the original so just txt/subtitles for the confusion result. I'm guessing there is a quest associated with it and the quest dialog produces that confused dialog (conditions on the voice type to determine who can be mezzed?) along with result scripts for taking their stuff, the coller or just exiting dialog (been a while since I'v played FO3)?

Just modifying the Compliance Regulator from Honest Hearts would probably do the trick. It would only screw things up technically on a pacifist run, and maybe not even then.

Nobody?

Let me take a look at it over the weekend and see what's going on.

Sure! And wouldn't that help your post-Hoover Dam Mod? Well, for the responsible and benevolent Lords/Ladys of the New Vegas Economic Zone.

Ouch. The Mesmetron is spread over 45 forms. At least there is a fair amount of debug code in the script so maybe it won't be too confusing to decode. But I don't think it's going to be done over the weekend.

There is one thing you might want to look at:

 

Butcher Pete:

The stun gun is a laser pistol and it ALWAYS stuns. That might help you.

 

As for want I want, maybe doing the Mesatron effect isn't the right way to go. There's no one to sell to, and that's not really want I'm talking about. Perhaps better would be some kind of perk effect, something like this: You have to fatigue damage someone (or something if it works for creatures) to zero, then activate the person and in the same menu that would say things like 'Cannibalize' or 'Murder' or 'Pickpocket' you could have an option to 'Coup de Grace' (kill) or Arrest (opens inventory so you can take their goods then they disappear and don't respawn) or 'Accept Surrender' (which would bring up a menu to reassign their faction to an option that isn't hostile to anyone else). It would be best to have it linked through a weapon or item. In Butcher Pete's mod, you need to have the Boning knife in your inventory to 'harvest meat' (this is actually a good idea for mod port), but you don't have to use it or have it equipped.

 

Maybe the link item should be a MISC Item: Handcuffs or something. Put them in the Primm's Sheriff Office or something. You are free to do this at your leisure, but I'm hoping I have some ideas that could help.
