TacticalAce Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ever wondered why you only seen a fraction of mutated animals found in a desert environment in new vegas. Well this post is meant to stimulate new ideas for modders with the ability to make it happen. I've did some research on what type of wildlife you would usually find in a desert and here are the interesting ones I've came up with. Bats and birds- I know someone could come up with a cool bat model, and for birds you could do hawks, vultures, etc. It would be incredible to see an actual flying enemy that attacks while flying or fly away to evade. This will make the wasteland a lot more interesting then those boring bloatflys, cazadores are cool but thats about it out there. Wolves: Ok you have dogs and ugly coyotes but where is the wolves, I know that someone come up with a scary looking wolf model and just let it use the dog animations but it is more powerful. Because after you get to a high level most dogs are fairly easy to kill, so a wolf would fill the role to be the most powerful dog type creature out there. Bobcat: Alright some of us might of played red dead redemption and seen how agile and formidable the bobcats are. So I'm sure someone could make a model, and make them fast also with a medium difficulty level. Gila monster- One of the most notorious reptiles in the desert known for its powerful poison and powerful bite. These could easily fit into new vegas very well. I mean just picture a big version terrorizing the waste. As a matter of fact they could use the iguana animations from Marts Mutant Mod for fallout 3. As a matter of fact I'll link the author of that mod to this post. Maybe he could help too. Insects: Now CrushOverwrite the modder has a mod out now called insects which includes a tarantula, mosquito, and dragonfly. But there is a lot more potential in this category. Bees: Picture in your head a hive of terrifying bees all over the waste. Beetles- Have you ever seen the movie starship troopers? Where there were fire breathing beetles? I can go on and on but if you have read this far please support this cause so we can make this stuff a reality. And to the modders out there, I encourage you to work with other modders in your same field so you guys could create something big and special. Please everyone comment if you have ideas, if you want to see this happen, and modders that will try to work on this. Please keep this post alive!!!

TacticalAce Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey wayne thanks for your reply, There is a mod that actually implements some of the creatures from CIB's mod, had to do some digging but its called nVamp - Very Voracious Vermin this is basically aiming to me the new vegas MMM mod but since it is utilizing a few peoples mods already it may be better I believe it was only one person making the MMM mod, but with this one they actually pull resources and modders work from the community and bundle it into the mod. Having that said I have contacted the author to this mod called EVE-900 to hopefully include his models into the VVV mod. Also the author to Bornagain NV the Book Of Water is only good at textures for now, but is willing to help with textures in the future. So my goal is to pull everyone together to create something that we all wanted. So anything you can do to also contact these authors and pitch ideas to them or get them to work together would hopefully make this thing work. Also for anyone reading this you can also help to just by requesting stuff, or posting to this thread. Thanks to all and I'll be back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplywayne90 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well about the smaller animals I've pulled some resources from Oblivion, now I put in warnings about things from the files that can't be used since it could cause trouble with copyright and whatnot. -------------------------Creature Resources From Oblivion------------------------- New Dogs -- Modders Resource Looks well done, I believe it is only new meshes, so you will likely need to make your own textures.Shoulder Parrots and Toucans -- Modders Resource Completely custom and safeTyrannosaurus Rex 3D Model -- Modders Resource -- Completely custom and safeMr_Siikas Pre-historic Animals -- Modders Resource Completely custom and safeMr_Siikas Bats -- Modders Resource Safe, Great for caves and things likelyMr_Siikas Rabbits -- Modders Resource Safe, This would be great to make a bit more mutated, jackolopes anyone?Mr_Siikas Foxes -- Modders Resource Safe, This would be great to make a bit more mutated, maybe ghoulifed?Mr_Siikas Ravens and Vultures -- Modders Resource Safe, This would be great to make more interactive ravens, and also we now can have Vultures.
