Colt Python .357

[shayferal]

Looking for a good Colt Python model to use in Fallout New Vegas, other than xzax's model; and in stainless steel. I found a good looking model that isn't textured in stainless, and the model is a FO3 model, so the sights don't work.

I would also like to see this happen. I have been using Xzax's version in my current play through but would like to see a nice nickel plated 6" Colt Python with the original wood grips.

 

I downloaded the mod for the Fallout 3 version of it (King County Sheriff Uniform and Colt Python) and was able to modify the ESP to work in New Vegas but as you stated, the first-person iron-sights won't work without possibly adding a new nif model to the ESP.

I've seen that mod, and that mod has a terrible model.

I agree that the model / texture work isn't what I was hoping for but have had to make due since nobody else seems interested in making a hi-res version of the Python.

 

I would totally learn how to mod if I actually had the time but it would just cut too much into everything else. If we could get someone like Millenia (obviously doesn't have to be him but was including as he has done most of the awesome weapon textures lately) to do a version, that would be great.

 

Could start it as a 4" Python and include mod kits such as Extended 6" Barrel, Improved Parts, Revolver Scope, and Nickel plated frame (I know you can normally only do 3 kits per weapon but I was just including my ideas).

Well, two mods actually... The mods don't actually attach the parts to the model, it instructs the game to load a different model that has the modded part modeled in, and the 3rd space is generally reserved for the "combination" model of the two mods together.

 

Say the base model is a blued 4" python, one mod is a finish and the other is a 6" barrel. You would have to create four separate models...

Base

Base + Finish (base with just a finish mod)

6" (base with the barrel mod)

6" + Finish (combination barrel and finish mod)

Sorry, I must be spoiled by using WMX in my play throughs. The point is, I have seen things like this done before with other weapons by starting with a blued version and then adding a mod to make it stainless (check out some of Millenia's weapons) so I know this is completely possible.

 

The gun doesn't have to function like I was describing but I was merely adding my own ideas to the project to further add diversity to the weapon and please multiple people's tastes.
