Lurker coming out of the shadows..

Hi everyone! I decided it was time to get more involved in the community and see what's going on on the forums. I have been modding new vegas for 3 years or so now and I'm just learning now how to use tools like zedit and geck. I also have fun making content about gaming on youtube. I'm about to start a playthrough on my channel featuring all of your hard work and ill do my best to highlight all of you amazing mod makers in the process.

 

thanks for having me, yall are swell. If anyone is looking to mod and needs some inspiration ive just made a post on the mod request page for FNV.

 

Take care!

Awake from your dreams and schemes? Finally.

 

Be sure you have every modder's permission first; to display their mods, pixs, or anything else about them on your YouTube. No permission means, you don't put anything about them, none of their mods, pixs, or content about their mods on your websites, YouTube, or anywhere else that may, or will, earn you a profit from showing their mods without them giving you their permission to do so FIRST.

 

And also; note here that; my worst nightmare, would be someone like you making a profit without giving a share to the people whose mods you used to earn you some money!

 

Enjoy

I understand your concern, and I will do my best to be complete in transparency with my reply. I am not in a position to use content creation for monetary gain at present. I am currently looking to make content on new vegas and playthroughs. I am looking to create content that shares the hard work of the community. the focus of my content will be the play throughs specifically, which will be based on the build I have. I was also hoping to showcase, as I can, every mod author in the process. that would be after connecting with the author. Their wishes would be respected in the event they do not appreciate the spotlight. hell I thought it would be rad to have interviews with mod creators, or "ask a mod maker" style videos. I like making stuff. its fun! I have been making videos in all kinds of contexts for years. Not to any fiscal success mind you but I still enjoy making videos. I genuinely love New Vegas and all of the work the modding community does and has done and I want to share that with people.

 

In the event that I arrive in a position to create revenue, I absolutely assure you that I will do my due diligence and speak directly to every mod author about permissions and what percentages would be fair to compensate for using their work to actively seek to generate revenue. ( I guess this would look like a royalty in the music business?). In the event that a creator doesn't wish to have their work showcased I would respect their wishes. This will also means that if I am granted the opportunity to generate revenue I will hide all previously posted content until all permissions have been assured by the authors. Any authors who deny permission for future content would still be eligible to receive royalties off of past videos if they permit them staying available. I would also be understanding if you wished for the content to be not monetizable, but allowed to stay active. Of course, if anyone wishes to not have their content featured in any way they would retain the right to have the old content removed. any one who requests to not have their content featured will be respected. I am not looking to make enemies, just the opposite. I really admire the work you all do and am slowly building my skillset, which is highlighting the sheer depth of the community here.

 

If in the future I find any financial success I can assure you I will be dumping money into patreon accounts on top of the percentage of royalties mod authors would be entitled to. Anything showcased present and in the past would be compensated for. this is not planned yet as I was literally just a guy making dumb videos as of the first post in this thread. I will need to set up a balanced and fair pay structure by percentage and I would need to speak to the community about what would be fair. probably an accountant too. maybe someone who does pay structures in a video game studio would be wise to consult as well.

 

Hell, I will bankroll New Vegas 2 and hire you all if things go absolutely bananas. I could be your next Brian Fargo :p

 

This is all new to me. I just sat here for an hour to make this plan so I hope that came across clear and I apologize for not thinking about this with more depth until your reply prompted me to. I was literally just happy to be here and make videos about the rad stuff people have done to New Vegas. I am aware that New Vegas content can go beyond a passion project and the last thing I would want to do is disrespect the community that creates so much to what contributes to make the content possible.

 

I'm also a socialist, in the event that anyone wished to offer payment to support content I make, that would not be possible without the work of others, I would be a failure to my values to not share that wealth with the people that helped make it happen.

 

I would also be happy to list patreon accounts (or other links to send donations to )for every modder that has one on my content. that's something I can start assembling a list for right now.

 

I would appreciate any and all feedback from anyone here. The last thing I wish to see happen is someone not feel heard.

 

And again I'm here for a good time above everything else. I work full time and I actually don't mind the work I do. Produce guy life :pirate: .

 

Thank you for listening.

 

Take care,

I give you

*****

stars.

 

Your written words are like a melody made for the youth of today.

 

You write like you're making a training book for teachers that is for just the teachers.

 

I suspect you are a teacher. If not. Hm? What possibilities you have there.,

You could use your script there to Teach others who want to learn while beside you going on along the path and live that way.

 

Bravo!

I would like to end this with a quote from a friend who used to post and make mods here.

It is.

"I don't teach leaders to follow me. I teach them to lead, to become leaders."

[Sweet6Shooter]

Go for it, you've got full permission to display and discuss any of my stuff, and complete permission for anything beyond that that's within the stated permissions on each of my mods.

Glad you've got a project you're so excited for.

[teampirate]

Thank you all for the kind welcome funny you mention teacher as I have spent time teaching in lots of ways just not in a school. Very first job was ice skate instructor, have taught music, and skateboarding too.

 

I hope I can make something that yall enjoy and hopefully it can springboard more people to learning about mods!

[Pagafyr]

Teaching anything can have that effect on us.

 

I played Fallout: New Vegas and all the DLC's for it too. Even got to play one of the first Mods, that gave us all, a great introduction into companion mods advances made.

 

Willow Fallout: New Vegas,by llamaRCA. I liked the mod so much I imagined her creator was getting a lot of marriage proposals. I mean the author not Willow.

 

llamaRCA and others who built up to the way companions worked in the game, made great the idea of having a companion that gave us the feeling we were with a friend.
