GoodfellowGoodspring Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Making this mod myself now!http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39560:thumbsup: - - IMAGES BELOW! - - :thumbsup: I was quite disappointed in the strip, seeing as the world is a wasteland with ruins and mostly hostiles i was expecting a bustling gambling area packed with tourists and such. I know a lot of you feel the same because ive downloaded a few mods; clearing up the strip and having apartments in freeside but i wont be fully happy playing the game because the area is in such disrepair and empty. Im useless with the GECK and programming in general and having only managed to clear some objects i cant really do the task myself, so hes what im thinking and more then anything it might give you some ideas to work with. THE STRIP- Im okay with the separating gates seeing as these seem to be needed because of the Npcs numbers etc.- Defiantly more people both in casinos and walking the strip id rather have lower FPS and see it more busier.- Make the strip bigger, not longer maybe adding small motels or hotels at the end of the strip where there's nothing.- Road of the strip to be in one piece, so no cracks or anything like that, maybe flowerbeds down the middle like in Freeside?- More neon lighting, seeing as this is supposed to be 50's Vegas skyscrapers would be a nono but i would like to see more flashing signs of some sort maybe Christmas style hanging from streetlight to streetlight or something? FREESIDEI would focus on the strip just outside New Vegas, (i call this the Old Strip because it reminds me of GTA:sanandreas) this would be the 'New Vegas of the lowerclass' and would include more run down, shops and bars and be more cheap and seedier in general. - More lighting, make the grass in the middle look presentable, remove all enemy spawns and clutter from the strip and round.- Open up all shops from the New Vegas entrance to around the King's place, more Npcs advertising the businesses.- Move Mick & Ralph's onto the Old strip i never figured out why you would have a business miles away from everywhere.- The area around the Silver Rush would be the red light district of Freeside, i would first remove the carblockade making two entrances and adding a new 'Freeside' sign to the other side, add some Prostitute Npcs from the strip in the area etc.- Again more Neon lighting again, is it me or do the signs in Freeside not light up?- Maybe add some guards as a security force, im guessing this would be the kings seeing as the NCR are hated in the area.- Clean up the entrance to the strip, maybe take out a few Securitrons seeing as the area outside is more secure.- Add a tour guide just for the old strip at the north entrance alongside the bodyguards you can hire. Im not expecting anything so something would be good enough if any bored modders are out there :) Edited January 13, 2011 by GoodfellowGoodspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forallq Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I wholeheartedly agree, I came here to request a busier strip MOD but you seem to have that in there. I would be happy with just more NPC's on the strip and in the casinos. Maybe low polygon models with decent resolution textures or something? Does anyone remember that level in Hitman where you are in New Orleans during Mardi Gras with 100's of people on screen? IO obviously had to screw around with the superfluous NPC's on the street to make it work, but, by god, it looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i was thinking the same with the Hitman level, saying that they didn't even react to you massacring people and just spread away so they couldn't be much AI behind them. Have you seen the 'Populated Casinos' mod? It adds more NPCs at the tables but my FPS dies. :( Edited November 21, 2010 by GoodfellowGoodspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodfellowGoodspring Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Thought id upload some pictures to show you my progress! The mod is basically finished i just need to sort the NPC AI out which im confused about, and add some lighting and those hanging blub lights (where do i get them?!) and somesort of red lighting for the red light district. Im not bothering with interiors yet because im not sure how to do them! Just to Clarify this mod: To be named Mr.Fairfax's Old Strip & Freeside/Strip Overhaul - Makes the Freeside outside the Strip 'The Old Strip' and adds NPCs, businesses, trees and plants, changes the layout of the area, clears clutter. - Adds more NPCs to the strip and clears clutter. - Clears clutter in the rest of Freeside - Moves Mick & Ralph's onto the Old Strip alongside the guy who sells you chems and the guy selling bugs at the North Gate. - Planning to add interiors, some quests and 'Mr.Fairfax' the owner of the Old Strip and a Business Competitor to Mr.House along with some robot guards and his own HQ.

GoodfellowGoodspring Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) http://i56.tinypic.com/2wqhoqb.jpgFreeside by day, got the Strip road now. http://i56.tinypic.com/2qtimja.jpgFreeside in the rain! http://i52.tinypic.com/vphz4m.jpgView from the Freeside Gate (now improved), palms from the Strip now dress the Old Strip and advertising has gone crazy because of the sudden surge of visitors. http://i55.tinypic.com/24degki.jpgThe sign you all know and love, there will be a tour guide of some sort here and the armour shop has been relocated. http://i51.tinypic.com/f22bgk.jpgThe main thing i wanted, the carblockade has gone and a new street has been made. http://i53.tinypic.com/1zg3hw2.jpgDeleted a few buildings to make a walk-through outside dining area, the steak house is now giant with two entrances. http://i51.tinypic.com/2i0t0l3.jpgThe to-be Mr.Fairfax's Headquarters, also shows the red light district, this is the road next to the Silver Rush. http://i51.tinypic.com/2q9b2u9.jpgThe new entrance to the strip, didn't delete any Trons because they are linked with AI and could turn out nasty. http://i54.tinypic.com/242vmme.jpgView from the Strip entrance of the Old Strip, quite boring seeing as the buildings here have been left untouched. http://i55.tinypic.com/35bazkp.jpgEntrance into Freeside. Feedback would be nice peeps! :thumbsup: Edited November 21, 2010 by GoodfellowGoodspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
