Fallout 3/New Vegas Modding Possibilities?

[sargentcrunch]

I had a few questions about possibilities with Fallout 3 Modding (or even New Vegas, if one allows more then the other). I just want some short answers as to whether these are possible, I don't need it explained step by step or anything (unless you feel like it lol :P).

 

So, is it possible to:

 

1. Make an entirely new world space, with no connection to the actual game?

 

2. Make new guns, with their own animations? (I know how to model, and somewhat animate, just not sure if I can make new guns work in game) (Maybe FOSE would help? Not really sure)

 

3. Have online play? (Nothing crazy, just a few friends maybe, or more if possible?)

 

I hope someone can answer these for me, thanks!

I'll give it a shot.

1. No, you must have some connection to the game or it's not a mod. Or do you mean a new worldspace that you have developed, programmed, published and does not infringe on any copyrights.

 

2. Yes, it is done all the time. Just check the file catagories under weapons.

 

3. No, each game is strictly single player. Unless you mean to publish your own game and host it online. Then you will run into copyright issues.

I mean a new world space that I build entirely, a whole map, like the D.C area. Is there a limit to how big it can be? I guess I would just put a door in D.C that would take the player to my worldspace, and it could be like its own game from there?

I don't know if there is a limit to the size other than what your computer can handle. What you are asking has been done, just take a look here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/searchresults/?src_cat=75

There are 157 files available that will give you an idea of what can be done.

There is a mod for new vegas called Brazil which is a whole new story and map.
