WoogieMonster Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Straight to the point: I have a request for two weapons and am willing to offer compensation in the form of a Steam game-gift. Weapon 1: A mine that can be remotely triggered with the Detonator. Appearance based on the Plasma Mine, but textured such that the casing / outer shell of the mine is very dark grey in color instead of rusty green, and the lights should be neon blue instead of neon green. Upon detonation, it must use the nuke (Fatman) explosion. Weapon 2: A Rocket Launcher with the areas that are by default colored green, be black instead. Must not replace the default launchers in the game. Ammo for the weapon should be a rocket that explodes as a nuke (Fatman). If possible, I would like the rockets to have a blue tip instead of the default red. If you are interested, we can discuss any details needed. Thank you for your time.

FishFiend Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 allow me to say that the second one is not something you should be offering compensation for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoogieMonster Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Do you say that because there is potential for someone to copy work from the other nuclear missile launcher mods? Both those other mods seem to fall more into the category of "joke mods" rather than useful weapons, so I don't think someone would copy anything from them. Also, I should have clarified that I need these weapons as a single mod, I am not offering two separate commissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyLordSheogorath Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Um...I think Fishfiend is saying that it would be simple. I'm an amateur modder (Very), but I'm assuming that you are asking for a retexture of the missle launcher and the missle to change it's explosion into a mini nuke's. Then again, the Steam gift may be a Under $5.99 or whatever they are. Or a $49.99 New Vegas download, idk (I truthfully hope not). F***, this may be the most challenging mod out there and I just don't know anything (wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened to me).

tunaisafish Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The GECK EULA states that you can only use it for non-profit.So it's not compensation or commision or any other sort of contract that you're talking about is it? :) I'm sure Woogie will be grateful thouh and may offer a gift of grattitude after the fact.

According to Ranger Jackson, WoogieMonster hasn't asked for a compensation (despite title) and would only be misplacing a Steam Gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small token of thanks for the use of your time. No more than giving your neighbor a six-pack in exchange for helping to move a sofa upstairs. It's not paying him to imitate a furniture mover, it's just a a motivational gift for taking time from his busy day. Six-pack sitting in my cooler with no one to drink it, 9-dollar gift game that's just sitting in my Library never being played... same thing.

TheTalkieToaster Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) You could do this yourself in maybe two hours, including learning time, with the GECK and a copy of GIMP to do the image editing. Anyone who already knows what they're doing could whip this up less than half an hour. E: I mean, what's worst about this request is you clearly haven't even *looked* at the GECK, as sans texture changes this is about 50 mouseclicks worth of work. The reason there's a million cheat mods putting mininuke explosions on everything is because it is so mind-blowingly trivial to do. Offering compensation for this is almost demeaning, like saying you'll pays someone if they tie your shoes for you.

I don't believe in getting something for nothing, so I saw no harm in offering a friendly exchange of favors. If that's such a bad thing to you, would it have hurt to simply move on to the next thread rather than taking the time to be an a**hole about something that would affected you in no way what-so-ever? With so many people struggling with budgets these days, maybe this would have been a nice deal for a modder who hasn't had a new game in a while and would have appreciated the gesture. Offer withdrawn, thank the dbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTalkieToaster Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 "What Nexus has become"? I've been here longer than you. Plus, I hardly think pointing out that your request is easily within your own powers to fill is being a 'dbag'. I also don't think that attempting to commoditise modding is something that won't affect me- it hurts everyone twofold when people firstly don't bother to try and mod and secondly distort the hobby by purchasing mods, because that is what you were doing, however you frame it. Still, whatever. I might be a 'dbag', but I've got my unique missile launcher 'Slightly More Than Half An Hour' to console me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
