Looking for ideas for my mod...

[TallgeeseIV]

I've built a new armor with a new model, several different "modes" with different effects and artwork. it's supposed to be an all purpose extreme combat suit. basically when you're wearing it you have a bunch of new abilities mapped to different keys, but it lowers your health so you HAVE to use them to survive fights, which i thought is more interesting than just vats'ing everyone to death like the normal game, haha. I'll show it off eventually but I'm keeping demo's under wraps until I get a stable version (just incase that never happens)

 

So, I need ideas for more abilities, so far it has:

 

SlowMo "Enhanced Reflexes"

 

Cloak "Active Camoflage"

 

Night Vision

 

Thermal Vision

 

Shielding

 

The armor power runs off a nuclear reactor which is depleted when using active camo and enhanced reflexes. and the shielding takes energy per hit, then takes a few seconds to recharge after being hit, forcing you to find cover if your energy is low.

 

I have a few other ideas I'm not sure i want to implement yet too, so I won't mention them.

 

Keeping the concept of the reactor in mind, I need your ideas, what other abilities should my armor have? try to keep your ideas "outside the box" stuff like camo and slow mo, not just weapons. i can make any weapon i want, so that's boring. I wanted a thruster system but that's damn near impossible as i understand it. but that's the sort of direction i'm talking about. things that aid you in combat.

well the first thing that comes to mind is making " unarmed techs" that are available with the suit of armor. Like when you wear the suit's gloves you get new unarmed animations that showcase the 'augmentation' the suit gives. I know a ton of ppl are craving for any new unarmed/melee animations. if you create those (things like a thruster propelled knee), everyone would love that armor.Maybe an overclock mode or something that give advanced moves and maybe unique shooting as well as more damage etc.

[TallgeeseIV]

Oh man, I'm one of the people that's dying for new animations but from what i understand it's near impossible to get them working, and i don't know where to even begin.

 

as for the overclock mode, it actually has a feature called "Over-Charge Reactor" that changes it's appearance and gives it greater power, but energy doesn't recover in that mode and when it's depleted the armor goes to its damaged state. so it's sort of a trump card if you're in trouble.

Cool you made Spartan armor from Halo. :-)

 

How bout increased jump hight that uses up power when you jump with it on. Automatic drug administering, stim packs and maybe others. Increased unarmed and melee damage, and maybe speed. Add a sprint abilty, maybe get with the guy that did the sprint mod if you don't know how. Knockback with unarmed attacks.

 

Someone in the request area wants a wrist gun, maybe some kind of attached weapon system, like Iron Man. How bout a shocking shield, overcharge the shield so anyone that gets close, unarmed attacks, takes damage. Super reflexes for a short time, your guy gets better DT against guns for a short time because he's moving so fast he can deflect bullets but he's burning up the armor's motors, so movement is restricted until repaired, when the effect ends.

 

Those are just some off the top of my head.

[TallgeeseIV]

Haha, basically, yes, i did.

 

not bad ideas, it already increases run speed and jump height just by wearing it but a sprint mod even beyond its current speed would be pretty good, and yeah, i know exactly how to do it, haha.

 

i finally got the shield working properly today, I'm now building a system where you can connect energy weapons to the reactor and run them from your energy source instead of your ammo. in over-charged mode you'll do more damage too.

[scruples]

How about a bright flash type attack, would work in a 10-30m radius, and just apply the same effect as the 'Khan Trick' already in the game (blind I think).

I'd like to see some more under water stuff in this game. I am starting to learn to create mods myself so I can work on the underwater parts of the game. Could you make your suit have an inbuilt re-breather and perhaps increase the speed of swimming? Maybe have a wrist mounted sonar weapon like the weapon the Lakelurks fire.

The rebreather effect will be on it. as for faster swimming, i can definitely add that, and the sonar weapon wouldn't be a problem either, good ideas.

There is also discussion over making a pip-boy like weapon (similar to cowboys and aliens movie coming out soon) and here are some looks for you to draw some inspiration from for your armor

 

Midwestern Brotherhood Armor Thread

Power Armor Inspirations

Steampunk Mod Ideas

Terminator Cybernectic Dawn (May be somewhat what you want to accomplish)

Non Enclave/Brotherhood Based Power Armor (Original Designs)

Vanquish Game Battle Suit

For possible weapon Ideas:

Pip-boy looking weapon===> Cowboys And Aliens Wrist Weapon

Frank Horrigan Baddie Resurrection (Look for the pic to see why its mentioned)

Melee/Unarmed And Occasionally Non-Lethal Thread

Fun/Silly/Interesting Mods And Mod Ideas

Possible Mod Ideas to complement armor:

Implants And Perks

This could be how to introduce it in-game

Area 51 In Neveda.

 

Most of these threads are rather short so I don't think it'd be too difficult to at least skim through them to see if they provide any ideas, since most of these have absolutely no one making them.

"Vanquish Game Battle Suit" huh... well, i guess there's no point keeping it a surprise if it's already been requested, here's the armor i've been working on for 2 weeks:

 

and no, i did NOT model this, nor am i taking ANY credit for the original model.
