New Enclave Commander sub-mod WIP "Spec Ops Edition"

[Ninja2dan]

I'd like to start off with saying that I am aware of the "Marine Edition" sub-mod for Enclave Commander NV Edition that was out a while ago. And I am aware that the Marine Edition mod is still "under moderator review" and is unavailable for download on this site.

 

 

I had been using the Enclave Commander mod for a while, but really wasn't a fan of the default choice of factions or their assigned equipment. It didn't really fit in with the role and feel of the game that I was playing, so I ended up using the mod mostly just for the air strikes option and as an alternative method of transport.

 

But after seeing a few video reviews for the Marine Edition around Youtube, I thought it looked cool and went searching for it, only to find it unavailable. Reading the original EC mod notes, it stated that there were in fact some "dummy factions" already in place to allow people to modify the mod and do exactly what the ME sub-mod did. So I set out to try and figure out how to do that on my own, adding new weapons and armor to create new factions that more resembled the unit type that I was wanting to play with.

 

 

After messing around in the GECK for a few days, I have finally been able to achieve most of my goals. I have been able to add in two new factions, while "removing" the default factions from the list. I've been able to assign new weapons and armor to those new factions, and I have changed out the text in all of the menu windows to reflect the new factions.

 

But I am new to modding, and I'm aware of some things that still need done before this mod is ready for public use. Right now I'm happily able to play it myself with no problems, but I don't consider it "done" enough that I'd be comfortable uploading it in its current state. So for now I'll keep working on the small things, such as making sure in-game notes and readme files match up with the new changes.

 

 

I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in helping out with the "administrative" tasks associated with getting a mod ready for public release? While I do have permissions already from almost all of the new assets being used, I'd like to double-check and make sure I didn't miss anyone. And I'd like to get a proper readme file put together in a proper format.

 

Most of the other "technical" work is done, but I wouldn't mind having some new eyes to give it a play-through test and see if any bugs pop up or if there is something I missed along the way. As noted above, I haven't noticed any problems on my own while testing it out, but having more people test it is the best way to ensure nothing is missed.

 

 

I know that the Marine Edition sub-mod was quite popular, and many people have been asking for either a copy of it or for a new version to be released. While I am not personally sure as to why it's still under moderation, I have my own ideas as to what might be the cause. And I'm doing my best to ensure my own version of the EC mod doesn't have similar problems.

 

If my version of the mod can be finished up and made ready for public use, then maybe the NV community will have some fun with it like I am. And if all goes well, I'll try to get some "tutorial/guide" set up to show others how to make their own versions.

 

 

If you're interested in helping out with what's left to fix, and help get this ready for public upload, please let me know.
