Basic Mod help

Recommended Posts

What i already know how to do - Make the DDS in Photoshop Apply them to in game boards using G.E.C.K. (or applying on walls)

Also I know how to place them in the wasteland on walls etc

 

What I do not know is making a MOD, how would the MOD goto the IMAGE if I make this as a mod for others. (ESP file) would the ESP instantly know where the location of it is or must you make special editing of the ESP. (Yes I know it's easier to over-write existing ones but what about making NEW ONES)

Please let me know

I already have the basic dds creation and basic knowhow of templates so this is not the issue

I think you should start by reading the basic tutorials about geck. Geck is the tool that you use to create your own objects in the game. It sounds like you have "retextured" or "reskinned" existing objects in the game, but you have not yet created your own objects. The best tutorials for getting started are at geck.bethsoft.com. There are also videos at youtube, if you search "geck tutorial".

No that wasn't the help I was looking for

I need to know if a .esp or mod will SEE the location I setup the file I already know how to import it, place it in the game world blah blah blah

I'm not making character skins just posters / billboards which are more or less 2D

I am NOT simply replacing existing ones

And last time I tried the stupid G.E.C.K. tutorial it was like trying to read Japanese

 

I made the basic MOD it will be my newest file (still uploading) I Have ZERO CLUE others can use it

Tell i can get more help on basic esp modding to make it do so.

Click my name and find "New Billboards NV" (or search for that FILE on newvegasnexus) when uploaded. it should work based on old Fallout 3 but never could et anyone to tell me if it did or not so ended up deleting the whole mod after a couple months

Based on Fallouut 3 themes

Sounds more your making a resource file then anything. Basically you want people to utilize your shyte in there mods. If so, I'll be glad to scarf up some of it for billboards. My mods about a month away but you can check out the layout if you want. I need clutter. Hell if your really into trashing the place, you can help. Im still figuring out why i got sucked into this.

 

Guess cause I dig it. :turned:

No it can be used as a 'resource file' however intent is also to put it to practical application. In short place funny billboards as well in the wasteland

I made the base-line mod and uploaded all the textures here

 

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39809

 

only problem is I do not know if anyone but me can use it

 

I actually already placed the images on a set of 19 billboards. placed 10 or more around goodsprings. I just don't know as I said if the esp will goto the folder or I must set it to a specific location or what or igf it will even load the dss / nif files to other peoples use

Oh it will load them as long as when editing in geck you had your ESP as the active one any changes you made will be recognized only when that esp is run.

Just make sure it can find them (example : Put your textures in "data\textures\" at least and it should work like a charm)

I might be wrong (Like I usually am) but try it I reckon it would work.

I already surmised that. Included both the proper folder and made sure the mod of course had the settings. but nobody beyond myself to tell me if it works on theirs or not

Probability is high I did it correct. however it may require something else to have it actively goto that location This I am not sure of

Or that anyone else can use the mod except as meshes

Hmm Well I didn't read much more than your orginial topic post and skimed the rest, if you want there are several resource mods like your idea out there full of authentic 1950's posters and billboards, however what the community does need is more made by fans.

 

Anyways all of the following resources and things are included in "this thread"

 

These 3 are for fallout 3 originally.

DPR - Dynamic Poster Replacer (Replace In-game posters) -- Modders Resource

Reallife Resources from the 1950s -- Modders Resource

Reallife Resources from the 1950s Part Two -- Modders Resource

Animated Book Resource -- Modders Resource

Chronicles Of War Animated Book -- Modders Resource

 

 

Heres some random resources that likely contain new content of posters and billboards

Giant Ruined City Landmass -- Modders Resource

Ruined New York City Landmass

 

And Here are a few Fallout posters from deviantart
