I'd like to make/see a spaghetti western VATS

I'd like to make/see a spaghetti western VATS. For example you go into vats and the screen goes black and white, while sound clips similiar to "the good the bad and the ugly" play. But I' m having trouble finding resources/mods of VATS? Any suggestions?

Well I was getting a little discouraged since I couldn't find mod that changed vats except for the damage formulas. I was beginning to think it wasn't practically possible. But then I realized there might be another way to go about it. A hotkey with a script attached would change the shaders and start the music then the command for vats's. When you exit vats the script would stop the music and return the shaders to normal. So we're not actually changing vats, just changing the environment just before vats loads. That should be do-able.

 

Oh and it might be cool to have the blood in bright red while everything else is black and white. Like madworld. But I don't know if there's anyway to do that.

Cool maybe we can put this together.

This is off topic, but since you're creating a radio station mod, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of a good radio station tutorial or if you could tell me how I can get started. I want to create a dark ambient radio station and upload it to Nexus, but can't find a decent tutorial anywhere.

Kind of new at this, it is more a companion idea that I had.

 

1st what I did was re-sound the magnum 44 with Clint's gun fire from Magnum Force. It is so much better...Than messed around with the stats for the gun damage. Everytime you load the gun, the music from a "Few More Dollars" starts.

 

Next created Lee Van Cleef and Clint for the game, they speak and everything but I can't figure out how to create companions. The (Waiting, Leaving and Hiring) commands and VNPCplayer has me all messed up. Saw some good outfits in the download section on this site, will have to add them to the players for sure.

 

Would love to figure out how to set up a gunfight that you watch, Clint & Van Cleef vs a ton of Bandits, before you get to the saloon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have changed the way these custom NPC's look in the game since posting these pictures, It is a work in progress,

After learning more about the GECK, putting this together would be pretty easy, however you would need to replace all the files for the standard VATS, than if you wanted the originals back, it would be a pain to put back together. Need to make copies of the source VATS. You would have to come up with the sounds you want and than custom design the screens for the VATS segment. Kind of need to be a graphic artist of sorts or else it would look like crap. What sounds would be good for this, no idea.

 

The game going to black & white, don't like that idea.

 

Took the ideas from this post for the radio station, decided to give that a go, it was pretty easy, all I did was replaced all the crapy song files. Added in some Dread Zeppelin, Elvis singing Led Zeppelin, it works, at least the Vegas songs. Than some more Frank Sinatra. Added in some old Van Halen, it just seems to work (aka Fair Warning & Women and Children First)

 

 

Back to VATS.

Some of the sounds kind of get old when you listen to them over an over.

 

The idea with Clint's 44, changed it a bit, made two guns. One for me than one for the custom player, kind of getting sick of listening to the music over and over, Than when the custom companion was using that gun, the sound was being played too much.

 

Created two more guns for Van Cleef. Created sound effects for each gun. On the old western's the sounds was not that good (aka Mono), I took the sounds from more modern movies. In Saving Private Ryan when Tom Hanks get shot at the end, It is a clean gun shot with no backround music. This was done to create a dramatic effect in the film. So I took that file for his gun shot. Than for his hand gun, used Davis's gun shot from Magnum Force, it is a tad different than Clint's 44, but it has just as good as an impact.

 

In the Good the Bad and the Ugly Remastered DVD, they redid the sound to 5.1, baiscally re did the audio for the entire movie, meaning new gun shots, will have to check out that DVD if it has anything good to use.

 

 

Could do all the sound work for this however would need the source recording to do it, the compression on these YouTube videos is not good enough. (my backtound is in digitally remastering Sound & Video.)

No idea why no one would post back to this, anyway, basically completed my Clint Eastwood project.

 

 

Thanks to whoever made that really cool Man with no Name outfit, the Gunslinger outfit, and also the Star Wars mod.

 

This short video is basically a bunch of my audio clips mixed in to a Few More Dollars. The source of the real recording was in Mono. These films were from the mid 1960ties so they sounded horrible. For the video, remastered and created a new score, using the Good the Bad and the Ugly theme to compose.

 

If you want my help it is going to cost you $2,000....

Ok, Ok you talked me in to it, I will try to make a go of this.......

 

(After messing around, it kind of gets old really fast) However the normal VATS sounds are kind of not easy on the ear.

 

 

You need to cut the clips really short, or else they blend in to each other. I mean you can just mess clips together it needs to be composed. The sound quality is also a major factor, the best results comes from pure uncompressed sounds.

 

 

The 1st demo is kind of intense and takes over the game per say. Something like the video above would work, but like I said it gets old..

 

You have to get the sounds right and than blend it natural. Have to figure out how to capture the PC and upload sample vids.

 

 

UPDATE: Tried to do a screen capture of this new VATS system, however the quality of the capture point blank sucked (used Mircosoft Encoder4). It had so many dropped frames, and the picture quality was horrible.

 

Still playing around with the Sergio Leone VATS system......maybe it will be released to the public, who knows......
