K00L Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Tribe of Arroyo Now first, for those of you who don't know Arroyo is a tribe in Fallout 2. As a matter of fact it is the starting point and home of your character. Here's some history: "In May 2162, the Vault Dweller returned to Vault 13 after defeating the Master and his army and was subsequently exiled from the Vault by its Overseer. He wandered the desert, but never moved far from the mountains that shielded the Vault from the rest of the world. Some other members of the Vault, who upon hearing of what happened to him, had decided to leave the Vault and join his side, followed him soon afterwards. The Vault Dweller eventually found this small group of Vault Dwellers. They knew little of the outside world, and would have died if it were not for his assistance. That's when the Vault Dweller removed his vault suit, never to wear it again. Two months later, The Vault Dweller headed north, to the great canyons, with a small group of Vault Dwellers and Wastelanders, and founded the village of Arroyo. Slowly, he taught them what experience had taught him. And together they learned to thrive. Over time, their ragtag group turned into a tribe. The Vault Dweller fell in love with one of them, named Pat, and they raised a family, like all of their tribes people. The construction of Arroyo was completed on August 18, 2167. In the year 2241 the Chosen One, the grandchild of the Vault Dweller, is sent to find a G.E.C.K. for the dying tribe. This is the start of Fallout 2." Now onto my mod. So far I have the basic setup of the race. Just the stats and description. I'm making them warriors that have a little talent in healing, so here's the stats: STR-M.60,F.50INT-M.20,F.40WIL-M.25,F.30AGI-M.30,F.30SPD-M.45,F.35END-M.55,F.45LUC-M.50,F.50PERS-M.35,F.40M.320,F.320 So they are "equals" to other races because overall they are 320. The skill bonuses are: Blade-10Light Armor-5Blunt-5Marksman-10Block-5Restoration-10 Again they are "equals" coming to a whopping bonus of 45 points. They also have two specials (the spells/powers): Healing Powder- Low cost, low heal spell. Cost of 2 for a magnitude of 5.Tribal Berserk- Resist Paralysis 20, Fortify Strength 20, Resist Normal Weapons 10. This comes with the cost of 10 Weakness to Magic and Losing 1 Health for 10 seconds. The power lasts 60. I am also making a class (Tribal Warrior), currently I have finished the Specialization (Combat), the Primary Attributes (Strength & Endurance), and the Major Skills (Blade, Blunt, Block, Hand To Hand, Light Armor, Marksman, and Restoration). I am working on making a tribal Vault boy picture for this, he's got some nice tats so far! Oh by the way, the race will have tattoos... The main reason I am doing this was because I wanted tattoos but no "Hey look I have a penis" mods in my game, plus I also wanted tattoos on a non-elf and males while most tattoos are female and/or elf. I am going to re-texture some vanilla tents to look similar to the tribal tents of the old Fallout games: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3219/arroyotents.jpgI am planning on making the spears from Fallout as seen here: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9581/fo2spear.gifAnother thing I will make is the tribal clothing from Fallout 2, here is a picture of the male version:http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1399/pcarroyotemple.jpg I'm not adding facial tattoos but I am thinking I would like to base some tattoos off of Sulik: http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/9097/sulik.jpg Ok so here is my Tribal Vault Boy for the class so far (still going to add the rest of the tribal outfit and maybe some different tattoos, I may even get rid of the wolf one. The dragon isn't really a tattoo either...Its on his pants. And there's a big white space...Great I'll fix it later): http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2848/vaultboy.pngI would really like to make the entire village of Arroyo, but that may take quite some time and I would definitely need help with things like the temple and the giant statue head. Also maybe I would need help with the canyon and bridge. Everything else can come from retextures and vanilla Oblivion. I think I could make this into an alternate starting place for Oblivion, although this may upset some who like other starting points. So why am I posting this? Well I want to know if anyone is interested, and who can help make the hard meshes and textures for me (And if your going to come here and tell me "K00L no one helps with mods, it takes a llooooonggg time and every one else is either busy or making their own mod, so don't ask for help", then leave this post right now) <Some one said that to me before, well something very close to it at least, and I was not happy>, but I also want to hear some ideas. But no ideas like make guns or more places from Fallout. I chose Arroyo because it is tribal and would be... compatible with Oblivion's engine capabilities. But I do want to hear some ideas about maybe what the description for the race should be, mine isn't very good right now because I didn't feel like typing, even though I've typed a lot now. Oh my description is this by the way: "Tribals from the village Arroyo. Strong warriors and great healers because of the trails they face. After spending time alone protected by the canyons surrounding the village many wish to travel to new places and learn ways to help their tribe." Yeah I know I made it up. I could type what a website says, but I want to hear from YOU! Also I don't have a class description.Heck maybe we can start some kind of Oblivion tribal trend (where people will be making companions for our village and more weapons and stuff) if we do this! Yeah yeah I know what some of you are thinking about me "Oh god not him. Great here comes another let down from K00L" just because I get these genius ideas but then I lack the skills or time to finish them, and quite often I just lack the patience. But that ain't goin to happen this time!! No siree! I will finish this mod (like I finish Ol' Hick Radio for Fallout 3)!! I WILL!!!!:D I love making things, I just try to do things so perfect... Try so hard to make them exact copies of my mental images that I push myself to hard and I no longer enjoy it...Wow thanks for reading all this, I also do really like to write. Especially stories, maybe I'll put one of my funny stories in this mod as an easter egg or something! Last I have to thank all those people who did and do support me. I also need to thank all the help guides I have already used and will continue to use during the making of this. Also the entire Nexus websites, because I always come here and complain or blab or try to make a mod. :thumbsup: AND PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY MOD IDEA! I have worked and still am working very hard on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00L Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Oh by the way I am using DDS Converter v21 and NifSkope for some editing. Are these good programs to use? Or are there better freeware editors? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00L Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 You know... I guess I can make everything by myself. It will just take longer :happy: Does anyone know a guide to making videos that work in Oblivion? I kind of want to try and recreate the actual videos from Fallout 2 that are at the beginning, except with out any two headed cows... No I'll just make something similar I guess. I can make someone who looks like the elder and it could still be about the village dying I guess.Oh also I am probably going to make it a new world space, an island probably to avoid a lot of conflict with mods that change Tamriel.

K00L Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Woo! Finished Tribal Vault Boy!!! http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2848/vaultboy.pngYou like? I think he didn't quite turn out as I was hoping, but I never was very good with coloring and drawing things on a computer. And he is only the class picture.

buzzbomb Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Holy cow! You don't dream things half way, do you? That seems like an inordinate amount of work in order to get a male character with tattoos. Personally, I prefer the semi-nude (emphasis on nude) female protagonist to having a male character, but I gotta respect your vision. What you've got sounds pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean can't you just re-texture one of the original bodies? For me it would be the imperials, that is what I am basing it off of if I can do that. I have never ever created textures or meshes before, so I am hoping to find out I have a "natural talent" for that. I already know I can't script... at all. Things die when I even look at the script editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00L Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well I am pretty f***ing mad right now. I am pissed. My computer crashed. I lost everything again! I am sorry to say I doubt I will start over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00L Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 :\ I reinstalled everything and I'm working again. I just finished the class and all the stuff I had done before besides the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
