Existing mod? Mounted Machine Gun/Minigun?

[CaptainJew]

1. I am working on a mod now that only uses stuff from the game. I was thinking of adding a mounted machine gun/minigun but the problem i dont have any 3d design skills, blender using, or any other programs alike. I was searching for a mod that has already the mounted gun - but didnt find any. Does anybody know of one or could make one?

 

2. I know this exists in Vegas everywhere but i dont remember if FO3 had any container that takes all ur weapons when u enter and then returns them to u when u leave. If anyone knows which container does this or an easy way to make one, I would appreciate the help.

 

Thank You,

You don't really need any 3d skills to add a tripod to a weapon in NifSkope, if you can find something that looks like a tripod. (Or suitable kind of emplacement/support/whatever.) It's just a matter of copying and pasting branches in NifSkope between the two files.

 

Important tip: check the String numbers used for the node "names" against the actual number of strings in the file header's string table before saving. Referencing non-existent stuff WILL crash the game.

 

And if you don't find exactly what you need, you can get creative and make one out of 3 metal bars, or whatever. You know, A-Team style :P In a post-apocalyptic world, something looking like it was made out of two lead pipes and three table legs can actually be a positive thing.

 

Of course, if you must edit your own 3d model, well, good luck there.

I have no idea how to use NifScope or what is a node, but i guess it's time to learn.

Well, if you've used Windows Explorer or the GECK, then you already know what a tree view looks like. In the Explorer tree view, basically a directory is a "node". The tree view in GECK works pretty much the same, except the tree view is the structure of the item.
