WhiskeySykes Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I caught some wild ideas out of Big Empty. These are the ones I kept: Vacuum tubes and a mini X-2 antenna, protrude out the Courier's brain-pan, accentuated with plasma arcing effects. (I've attatched a picture as conceptual reference.) Who knew Blind Diode Jefferson dreams at the same frequency as Mojave Music Radio? When tuned into MMR, Jefferson's voice occasionally interrupts the music, as he dozes off to sleep again. As a travel buddy, Toaster snarks at the Courier and NPCs. He will automatically destroy toasters in the player inventory. (Maybe add a visible, biped object, while he's a companion, or just a hellish toaster icon.) To complete his evil plans, install Toaster's firmware on HELIOS 1, through to Archimedes, as he plays the rant about the Legion and NCR.From that point, when the player triggers Euclid's C finder, Toaster taunts the target. Instead of hearing Euclid's processing static, Toaster-medes gushes 'warm feelings,' all over Mojave's apocalyptic sands... at your command!If Toaster-medes is impossible, a fatman launcher with his barks would still make a cool companion upgrade. I know these are niche ideas, but they're potentially classic. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchUntoTorment Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Not so keen on the Brainless idea, but the other two... Sweet Jesus, those need to happen. Like, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeySykes Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the interest. I'm going to put my hand at texturing the moon pink. With a Lenin face over it. Potentially, if the player's taken Wild Wasteland, talked to No-bark, and adjusted the Bright rocket parameters, then all unfolds as No-Bark fortold.) That's probably way complicated to script, or something, but it sounds really fun to try. I'm positive I can at least make a replacer for the moon. I found a great reference for the pinko moon. I should probably try it privately, then ask the guy if I can use his work. I found it on a dead blog.

(I've attatched a picture as conceptual reference.)I could possibly whip up something like that for the OWB expanded. I'm working on using brainless as a filter for the radar fence effect, but hasPerk (well hasPerk && distance) isn't firing off the block for some reason. I can spin it off as a separate stand alone mod as well (assuming hasPerk will function). Save me a bit of time and find something with some vacume tubes that I can rip from the model. And I'll try to get some help from other mod authors on the hasPerk function later this evening. As a travel buddy, Toaster snarks at the Courier and NPCs.

I'd focus on the companion with Euclid's C finder being a sort of sideshow with additional lines. I put together a simple mod that lets you move the toaster into the lucky38 (toaster of doom), but essentially having him as a companion wouldn't be too hard, it would essentially be no different than the OWB stealth suit setup with a dialog quest shouting out barks. Honestly I think the key is going to be finding a good voice actor otherwise your stuck with the limited number of lines in OWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeySykes Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Toaster of Doom! Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside. Thanks for hooking that s*** up for me. The vacuum tubes on the LAER or sonic emitter look right. I'm unpacking the OWB.bsa to rip the tubes off the guns... Oh, you were probably refering to vacuum tube glow effects. Some of the Enclave armor models have those effects. Edited February 25, 2014 by 1conoklast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK if your working on the brainless perk we don't want to duplicate efforts. Give me a shout in this thread if it doesn't work out for you and I can do it. Otherwise it would save me some time if you'v got it covered. Toaster of Doom! Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside. Thanks for hooking that s*** up for me. OK I'll work on the toaster as a companion, I need to do it anyway when I update my mod above, so it will be killing two birds with one stone.
