Nuka Chemist Expanded - Suggestions wanted!

[devinpatterson]

I just read up on the Nuka-gernade, wow that is crazy it's "second only to a the mini nuke and the bottlecap mine (with perks)", +500 dam. Never knew it was so powerful.

 

How about a light version. Crafted like the ones on youtube that use a pop bottle and mentos (except nuka cola & mentants). So it can be crafted a little easier (just 2 components), but isn't a mini-nuke (maybe less than a frag?).

 

Oh and it's a cola so probably an acid, maybe mix it with a base of some type to get gas (poison, flammable I don't know)

Again, with textures and meshes and whatnot, I'm kinda limited to what's already been released. I can do minor alterations to textures, not much more. Modeling is out of the question for me unfortunately.

 

And I would consider doing the Nuka-Mentat Bomb IF I could get a model for it. While technically it's supposed to be diet cola, if people can supply me with what I'd need I'd definitely consider it.

OK well if I get some time, maybe I'll throw a mentant/nuka bomb mod together and you can let me know if you want to absorb it into your nuka chemist mod

Well. Sorta figured how to add items in. Some areas seemed to lack...well, everything in the G.E.C.K., looking like big empty blue squares. Didn't add anything to them. But added four of each of the new ones (as well as four Quantums) to random locations, and one of each to a certain place in New Vegas...

 

Working on the Ice Cold script...probably won't take long. Now all I have to do is wait for permission for Heat and Frost!

[Mahare]

Update - Still waiting on the permission to use the Heat and Frost versions. Made one of my own - I call it Nuka-Cola Indi-Glo. As the name kinda hints at, it glows indigo. Not sure what effects to add to it yet.

 

Altered some of the leveled lists to make A.) the new Nuka-Colas and B.) some of the ingredients easier to find. Now there's a chance, albeit VERY slim, a vendor will carry one of the specialty flavors.

 

Added in the Ice Cold script to affect the Nuka Cola fridges. All Nuka drinks (except Rum & Nuka) are affected, as is the Sunset Sarsaparilla.

 

Next up on the list is figuring out effects for each of these tasty treats (key priority actually) and maybe getting help with a script that would make the Ice Cold Nuka Cola beverages warm after a few days or something. I don't know if that's possible though. Any help on that one would be appreciated.

 

EDIT: For those who are curious as to what an Indi-Glo looks like, here's the G.E.C.K. screenshot for it. It looks a loooot better in game - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/Mahare/Indi-Glo.png

I just got a great idea for a New Nuka-Cola flavor: Nuka-Cola Rock&Roll

 

The drink is one of the rarest in the wastes, and sell for good caps. The drink was marketed at rebellious teens, who listened to Rock&Roll, and didn't care for authority. The drink has a distinct dark purple glow.

 

Effects of the Drink

+30 AP +5 Charisma and +1 Perception for 5 minutes

+45 Rads

60% chance of Addiction

Effects of addiction

-2 Agility

-1 Intelligence

 

Ingredients

Nuka Cola x3

Mentats

REPCONN rocket toy

Vodka

Cateye

 

Value: 250

Weight: 1

 

Can be found: 2 in The Kings bedroom at "The Kings"

1 can be bought at the Ultra-Lux

Alright. A few problems I see with that one are that the REPCONN Rocket Toy isn't easily renewable (even if you DO end up getting a lot), the five minutes for the effects, and the 45 Rads for one drink (holy expletive deleted!).

 

As it is, I'd be adding in quite a few flavors as it is, and if I can get a usable Sunset Sarsaparilla texture, this may become a soda mod instead of just Nuka. I'm thinking Sunset Birch Beer, Sunset Root Beer, and Sunset Cream Soda, and maybe, just maybe, some common flavors for that sorta drink like wintergreen, cinnamon and honey. These would probably be easier to make than the Nuka bottles - I imagine the Sunset company as more "traditional", so their style would be commonplace - color changes and word changes mainly. And thinking of the specialty flavor Chutzpah, based on Moxie soda.

 

If this happens, with the Sunset drinks, a related perk to Nuka Chemist, Sunset Brewer could be created. It would be the same, but allow one to brew the Sunset-based beverages instead of the Nuka ones. This gives more variety, more choices, and overall more fun.

 

Thoughts? Reactions?

Alright, how about 25 rads, is that more reasonable?

 

Also, it would be something more for selling. Sure, maybe if your low on AP and your surrounded by Super-Mutants of Deathclaws, or you need to pass a though speech or barter check, but it's mostly to sell.

[Mahare]

Thing is, there's already a heck of a lot to sell. Be it spare weapons, junk, you name it. I'm trying to stay away from the whole "vendor trash" aspect of things - I mean no offense with the terminology, it's what TVTropes calls stuff that's just there to be sold.

 

Right now, I'm mainly trying to find what is "balanced" with what we do have. One minute? Two? Five? What stats should I give the various beverages to make them "fair"? That sorta thing. And trying to figure out whether or not scavengable ingredients would be the best for the recipes. If added to loot lists, it could probably work quite well.

 

And for the Sunset drinks - ginger ale might fit also?

[Mahare]

Well, I have officially gotten permission from AfroSlayer to use his textures. Which means, with a bit of tinkering, this very well might see a release sometime. I am thinking of doing different Sunset drinks sometime though - the trouble is, the present texture is rather small. I'm trying to make an enhanced texture, but it's a process I'm not the best with.

 

So yeah. A status update. Woot.
