Markley454 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I actually love the concept of the C-Finder in New Vegas, but something that has always bothered me was the look of it. Should a handheld targeting device for an orbiting death ray cannon look like a 1950's toy? I mean, it doesn't even look like it has any relation at all with Helios One or the military.I'm sure there's a way to make it look right, and still integrate the green screen animations. Has anyone considered doing such a task, or is it not possible? Edited March 30, 2014 by Markley454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGMSCOLEPEARSON Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It is possible, yet the screen would still be rounded* - and as a consequence the C-Finder would still have the same shape.The best that could be done would be to change the colour, but I'm willing to bet that is not what you're aiming for, right? * The Screen would be rounded because if we made it square to enable us to reshape the weapon - there would be a CTD, trust me; I've tried.

The laser detonator from lonesome road is a decent little model for something like that.

It uses the swapTexture function, it doesn't have to be rounded. As long as the NiTriStrips are teh same name & it has the correct nodes, the script will swap the texture on it.

jazzisparis Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Should a handheld targeting device for an orbiting death ray cannon look like a 1950's toy?Well, is it not the whole point here - the irony? It looks like a toy, therefore nobody has ever suspected it was anything but a useless toy gun, not realizing it was actually a deadly weapon. Had it looked like "a hand-held targeting device for an orbiting death ray cannon", it would have never ended up in the hands of a child, at least not for very long.

Yeah, I do get the idea behind that... Maybe there could be some sort of quest dealing with the C-finder. Maybe talk to someone within the BOS about the gun.He/she could look into the gun, and figure out how it works, and how to improve it.He/she sends the courier on a wild dangerous goose chase through the Mojave, hitting up old-world locations dealing with electronics and laser technology to retrieve special components.After all the parts have been gathered, you can go to any work bench with a set Repair Skill Level where you can build a new and improved C-Finder. 1 Euclid's C-Finder1 Scrap Electronics1 Scrap Metal1 Detonator(Insert quest parts here) Conclusion?You receive the new improved "A2 C-Finder II."Works just like the "toy," but it's obviously going to look more "Serious." It's override system allows for it to be used twice a day, and because of the new carbon fiber casing, it's weight is cut down by half.

You might find integrating the command screen (as requested) into a new model isn't a novice project. But best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
