Visble unequiped weapons/equipment...

[demidekidasu]

Just had an idea for a potentially cool mod. No idea if it is even possible or if it has already been made, but I would really love to see it.

 

Think about how your character walks into town with a huge arsenal of weapons and gear at his/her fingertips, but it is all hidden in the magical pockets/blackwolf backpack of infinite depth... Would it not be cool if your character actually carried a pistol/knife on his/her leg, a rifle/shotgun/big gun/sledgehammer on his/her back, binocculars on his/her other leg, etc. etc.

 

Just think that it would be damn epic to see the character actually carrying all that gear!

 

Im not talking about having more than 1 item equiped, in fact that is a plain silly idea. I am talking about other stuff your charcter carries that would look insanely cool if it was visible somewhere on your character's person... Sigh, you know what I mean?

 

Sadly, I have absolutely no idea how to make mods, so I couldnt possibly do it myself lol...

Hmm... I've had this idea myself.

 

Could it perhaps be done by creating weapon sets?

 

I'll try and explain. Let's imagine a weapon set called umm... Commando.

 

There are 3 weapons included in the Commando Set.

 

Commando - Knife

Commando - Pistol

Commando - Rifle

 

The thing about the Commando set is that when you have the Knife equipped, the textures and meshes for the other Commando weapons are still present on your character, and the same thing applies to the Pistol and Rifle as well.

 

So if you'd change weapon to the Commando - Pistol from the Commando - Knife, your character's appearance wouldn't change, only his/her active weapon.

The engine would never handle it, that's the be-all and end-all. Edited January 25, 2011 by LtRhapthorn

Now, all you have gone and done is broken my heart! Lol.

If the character would only carry hm, let's see four weapons it wouldn't be impossible. A knife, a pistol, a rifle, a sniper rifle or fatman/missle louncher OR a two handed meele weapon.

 

Played Mass Effect 2 ? It would look like that somehow. I mean, pistol on the right tigh, blade on the left tigh, shotgun on the lower back, sniper/heavy gun/big-ass meele weapon (XD) on the upper back.

 

That would be sweet. :yes:

could you not just make the models of the weapons into accessories that you wear like clothing? like something from tailor maid.

This is exactly what I meant!

 

It is times like this that I wish I wasnt such a mod-making ignoramus and could do it myself XD

[LtRhapthorn]

Still impossible. The Gamebryo engine can't do it, no matter what another game can do. It uses a completely different engine.

 

I've seen this thread many a time, and the conclusion rests, it cannot be done

Pretty cool idea!

 

But maybe that could be simplified into say, equiping a set of up to 4 weapons of your choice, and then have some kind of hotswap system like in Mass Effect. Of course, those weapons would also be visible on you character, like ME.

 

Could this work at all?

 

Could the game be tricked into equiping a customisable set of weapons as a single item, which will for all intents and purposes act as a single item in game terms, but it then has its own system of choosing which of those weapons you want to use?

 

Would I be right to assume that something like this is possible with NVSE? The reason I say NVSE is because this would obviously be beyond the original capabilities of the game...

 

NVSE, FOSE and OBSE have allowed some pretty cool things in the past, right?
