devinpatterson Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 anytime line on when this might be released? Well it's too extensive to put out as one complete mod, so were just gonna break it into chapters. This is what were looking at for the first chapter (it's pretty modest). It involves the following locations;*Robco headquarters and manufacturing facility, including a R&D floor (that will be very interesting). I have to make a specialized heavy weapons protecton so the players know what they are up against, and I have to make a hologram display of the MKII performing various functions. I'm just guess but I'd say it could be finished by next weekend, *Sunset HQ Mostly this will just be some extra background info/notes and a couple of deactivated park protectrons, so it's hardly worth mentioning. Won't take any time at all.*Overpass viper raider camp. Will depend on either finding segments from lonesome road or failing that making collision meshes in blender. No estimate on how long that will take.*COP-30. companion. Community Operations Protectron. 1st two models almost done (dirty and clean/repaired). Other models can wait (he will have the option in the future to be upgraded to MKII later at the park). Not too sure how long scripting for the companion functions will take. *Sunset diner, gas station and the gift shop. Located just out side the collapsed park entrance. Should be easy to have these done in a few hours.*Basic quest and dialog. Not too sure I'v only done one mod with a quest and dialog.*Side quests and dialog, this involves turning the daughter into a sunset sarsaparilla fangirl, much in the same way Sierra was a Nuka cola fan girl in FO3. Only have a basic sketch, not sure how long it will take or if it will even be implemented.*Sewers connecting the diner to the park. Optional may be in chp 1 or next chp 2. Shouldn't take long, layout is already done. So now you know as much as we do. On the low end I'd estimate a week if everything goes well. But this mod is sick with feature creep, blink for a second and it doubles in size. So I'd hate to give any hard date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'd be cool to have house and victor return for a little payback. Edited November 1, 2011 by devinpatterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperScooperMKII Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yes, it's rather short-sighted of house not to have rudimentary framework/etc. for him to move around. At the least he should have scooter thing for his pod... or controllble turrets/arms for his chmber in the Lucky 38.Devin, If I just make the factory level, how does it work re the other esps? Should I make a new one or just convert the current stock esp to a master and then work from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatterMaster Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) House seems to attached to his body to destroy it, but it gives me an idea for a robot. A Securitron with a clear glass screen and a human head behind it, it could be House's first concept for his prolonged life, but after a few prototypes he decided he'd prefer to keep his body and according to him "They did not sit well with the board at all and when I offered them the same privilege, they claimed me to be mad! They clearly have no vision!..... But alas, one cant run an empire if people think you an abomination." After more testing House discovered that without an incredibly advanced computer to maintain his mind, he would eventually turn into a dribbling idiot. Following this conclusion he decided to use a stasis chamber, allowing him to preserve his body and mind and allowing him to be connected to a computer at all times.A few of these "Executrons", as they were called in official files, still exist, as they were sold in private (to the point of being underground to avoid any moral questioning) auction to the wealthy people of the world as life extending miracles. One such purchase was made by the Sunset Sarsaparilla board of marketing, stationed at SSWWWW. By the time the courier finds them, they have all turned completely moronic (and some aggressive as well), since RobCo failed to mention that whilst preserving your tissue, your mind wasn't included, a fact Mr. House personally struck from the records. Just sprang into my head, don't know if its possible or if it would fit, but it'd like an indication that Mr. House was a shady crack pot even before the great war.

HatterMaster Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Futurama-talking heads in Robot bodies?YYEEEEEESSSSS!!!!definitely Futurama reference is possible in there hahaDunno if it could/would be implemented into the mod but I'd love to see real heads instead of the screen on securitrons, and maybe even have one that hasn't become feral, just stupid, so conversation would be limited to "uurrghh...ahmaama... bwoooo *he/she begins drooling*" would be great to find it as the head of the board, surrounded by pre-war money haha :P I'd make something of concept art from splicing NV pictures, but no photo software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly even removing the screen and making a porthole type window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatterMaster Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Yeah, making hte screen transparent and having a head or brain inside is easy. Possibly even removing the screen and making a porthole type window I was just thinking removing the screen and making a glass panel in its place, with a human head inside. I figured it'd be the easiest way since you don't need any colour shaders or anything, theres plenty of glass you could use and the border (from the screen) is already there. Basicly just a square hole instead of a screen with something to cover it :)Only thing I didn't take into account, which iv just realised, is if the potential hole would be able to fit a head in it I've got a few idea's that i think could fit into the mod, just never bothered posting since you all have talent to work on it were as im a brain in a jar haha Edited November 1, 2011 by HatterMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
