How Special Encounters Could Be Made

[Saice]

Hey just a quick Hello. I'm happy to see people doing this. Feel free to steel my robe reskin. I'll read with over more when I got time and might be up for helping. My skill really is in mid level reskinning E.G. taking current textures and redoing them. Not good at making from scratch. I'm also a mid level at world building E.G. editing objects and placing them in world.

 

Just wanted to respond to the email I got asking for the ok to use the robe and figure I would at lest drop in here for a sec.

Well I actually need two simple retextures if you have the time later?

 

A "Team Edward" Shirt For A Parody

 

A White Suit And Hat Retexture For A Michael Jackson Parody

 

 

And if you could build an area or two, since I plan to recycle the large empty area I proposed (Its the one with the pic of the gaurdian of forever) for a lot of encounters so as to save time,

Mad Max, I would LOVE to do. We can maybe use some of the Fo3 resources on that one.

 

-Guitar hero can be done if we take the misc item guitar and turn it into a weapon or something. Call it an ax, and make a character called slash or something? lulz. But wait! We might get sued for stealing his image like the original makers of guitar hero xD

That's a huge project, PM me if I can help.

That's a huge project, PM me if I can help.

 

I will later, I'm pretty busy today and snuck online for a moment to check on things, later tonight I'll be editing the original posts and outlines and put in resources that we've recieved permission to use for this mod,

 

Also CrossfireX and TallGeeseVI will be supporting this mod project so If I'm not available I'd suggest messaging them with ideas or things.

 

Also I got the idea for mad max from a recently added NV mod, so I plan to message that creator later and ask them to join us.

Also in Fallout 3 umpa's animations had guitar playing and there was a weapon store mod that sold melee weapon guitars so I'll contact both Umpa (since we need the guitar and his dance animations for the thriller encounter) and the guitar weapon creator.

 

Sagittarius22,

If possible could you find someone who could take the sign on the prospector saloon in goodsprings (The swinging neon one that says 24 hours or something like that), and change it to say Cafe Of Broken Dreams like in the photos for your mod?

Perhaps a modder who endorsed your mod may be interested in enhancing your mod and this one as well.

 

Scripting is still the main thing we will be needing since I don't want to force all the scripting that will be necessary on any one person.

 

Since we're discussing the Cafe Of Broken Dreams, if their are animations and scripts to make it like what i described in my outline that'd be great. The humor of the cafe was all the comments by the unused characters and that 2 sworn enemies (like Col Autumn and Elder Lyon) would be sitting down chatting it up with beers in there hands.

[simplywayne90]

Right now we still need lots of help readers, I'm working on getting voices and testing the encounters crossfirex has set up so far.

 

If you can make any exterior areas, or have custom outfits you think would be good for a unique encounter don't be shy and post here everyone.

 

Scripters your desperately needed, since this mods foundation is on good scripts.

 

Heres the WIP page for the mod

[simplywayne90]

maybe you cound find the dead bodies of a youth male, an alien and a motorbike, all of them on the bottom of a cliff.

 

That could be an E.T. reference.

 

I love the E.T idea, I know people would get that instantly,

 

I've been thinking a christmas encounter for the holidays.

 

So I've found that I'd probably use the Frozen Wastes Mod, and Borrow Some Resources From A Christmas At Goodsprings by Bond123 to make a special fallout christmas.

 

Heres the song I'd like to have playing during the encounter.

Oh and Fallout, while it is probly most based on MadMax, the movie Logan's Run has some amazing similarities: same time frame, vaults, giant experiementey kinda thing, crazy catloving people in Washington etc.. :P

right, i said this to simplywayne a little bit ago, but hes probly not online, so anyway, this is another option i thought of for applying the "randomness" to special encounters in Vegas:

 

"

oh, and another thing that might be worth investigating, was that in FO1+2, if im not mistaken, the survial stat, or whatever it was called, contributed quite a bit towards finding random special encounters, along with some perks. so it might be worth adding a few more random chance multiplier factors in this mod, if possible.

 

oh, and as for another way to get the 'randomness' back into it, while still maintaining the .. otherplane-ness of the fallout addons, is have the events scripted to an NPC who randomly spawns given the multiplier and wildwasteland stuff, such as

 

if wildwasteland = 1

and luck*10 + ( rand[survival] ) >= (set number, depending on rarity of items involved in said encounter)

spawn [npc_bridge] for example, or [npc_cafe]

talk to courier

endif

 

(i know, shitty code, but its the little ive done in my education) who then runs up to you upon spawn (theyr essential chars) and tells you about a place hes found "hey, youre that guy ive heard about that can beat anything.. i found this weird bridge guy who wont let me pass.. can you beat him for me? here, ill take you to him.." ->warp to world zone. npc waits in the corner.. or at the other end of the bridge for instance, and then after you finish, they go to an NPC bank kind of area so that you can replay it when you want. eg gas station at goodsprings.

"

 

i know its not that entirely thought out, but its a start, and might be somewhat much more manageable than having randomly loading worldspaces that would be painful to code, and most likely conflict with every mod that adds another worldspace. along with that, it keeps to the world of vegas, with random people running up to you "HEY THAT GUY ATTACKED ME! YOU SAW IT RIGHT?!" (like wtf, where did you come from, i was just shooting down prisoners from their crosses and you scare the s*** out of me)
