TrickyVein Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 OK. I would like people to take a look at some of the shots I've posted thus far from a project of mine: you can find them underneath of my username, "images" or whatever. Most should be tagged with something like "NCR Slums." I have reached a dangerous "mapper's block." I realized that the scope of this project really is too large for any one person to handle, and to handle effectively. The time it would take to complete building everything, to finish filling spaces with clutter and effects, lights, loot, notes, terminals, proper scripting, NPC's, quests, dialogue, and more is unknowable. Far too long. I just like building architecture! I have put together building kits for everything that you see. If you are interested in helping at any level, I would be very much obliged. Leave a comment. PM me. I'm not interested in forming a modding "clique." Now for a description for what I have done thus far: The idea was to be able to travel to the core region and to visit the capital of the NCR. It's grown over the years into this bloated mass of civilization. The poorer underclasses, non-citizens of the NCR have located themselves South of the Hall of Congress. This is what you see in the shots. Some ideas I have for possible themes/quests: - anti-war protestors (protesting the NCR's decision to mobilize troops and march across to the Mojave while the needs of NCR citizens go unheeded)- the acting government is paranoid, fearing assassination attempts or spies from Caesar's legion. This has made them beef up security considerably. Even to do away with civil liberties "in a time of war" (this has much bearing on today's world, I think). Perhaps as Kimble is en route to Hoover dam, his corrupt Governor is acting in his place and the courier can overthrow him, expose his corruption. - have not even considered building downtown area from Fallout 2 proper. Could create conflict between poor, Southern portion of city and uppity, rich Northern section. - having to gain access to different parts of the city through talking to the right people or going through the right channels might be a neat theme to play on. The Hall of Congress itself could sit right in between the modern, clean Northern and dirty, crowded Southern sectors of the capital (that would require someone, or me to create the Northern portion of the city...lol). Everything is completely flexible at this point. I just fear that if I neglect this project any longer, I'll never pick it up again and that would be a real shame :( If worse comes to worse, I can put gravy on my building kits, release them and share the love. Let anyone bring some of ye olde classic flavor from Fallout 2 to New Vegas. Thoughts? Encouragement :)? Help? Threats? http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2544/billboardncr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deu58 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I love the plot line you are developing. That is some really good stuff and I really would love to see your mod come to pass. Sounds much more like a dlc than a mod. Unfortunatly I am buried in my own mod and my skills with GECK are basic at best. I do know what you mean though about to much work and time for one person. My own idea for expanding my mod did not really seem to be like that big of a task at first untill I discovered the GECK does not actually contain the variety of objects I need. It contains all the base objects and lists I need but I have to add tons of stuff building off of those existing templates. Very tedious and very time consuming. Best wishes and best of luck. I would really like to be able to down load your mod some day. It sounds like a real winner of an idea and project :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laochra Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Like the idea for the mod, I am ok at using the geck so if you would like me to help to spruce the place up I will help. One thing, where is the danger/conflict in the mod? something on this grand scale has to have a good dangerous quest. Maybe foiling some sort of legion plot if your NCR and making sure it goes through if your legion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambragol Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Those images and tilesets look outstanding. I think at the very least you should release all the tilesets freely. I make it a habit to release any and all assets I come up with for any mod. There is no sense in hording them or losing them. Perhaps use the tiles sets to make a small town that can be used as a quest to introduce the player/modders to your work? Start and finish something yourself that can attract people to your larger cause? Contribute or add your resources to some of the other Fallout 2 remake mods out there? (if any survive) In any case your work so far looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyB64 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have some free time and I know the GECK inside and out. I can also model and texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
