rodeowearden Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I had posted in the mod troubleshooting forum about converting this mod:http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=4211from oblivion to New Vegas. I got some very helpful answers on how this could be done. Then I attempted it, and found myself way way way over my head. As much as I love playing New Vegas with mods installed, every time I try to make one I end up with disaster, usually involving having to re-download NV from steam and reinstall completely because I end up messing up something vital. So now I'm going to do something I've never done before and ask the community if there is anyone interested in doing this for me. The link above takes you to a different mod site (sorry, never could find it on Nexus). It is a mod called Hammers of Thor. It includes the original Mjolnir, Ultimate Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, and Thunderstrike. I would LOVE to be able to use these weapons in NV. If anyone is interested and is skilled in creating weapon mods, I imagine many people would be interested in using this mod, myself included. I dont wander into the forums very often, so I hope I'm not breaking any kind of protocol by requesting this. I'll keep an eye on this thread from time to time to see if anyone decides to take a crack at this. Thanks for reading!~Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Hmm, TBH, they don't actually look all that impressive, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, can't port someone else's work and publish it without the author's permission. Sorry. So you'll really have to do the porting work for yourself, I'm afraid. Well, I suppose I could whip up a Mjölnir mesh from scratch just for lulz, but... dunno, is there all that much demand for something that looks literally like a smith's hammer? (And yes, I know Thor is a smith in Norse mythology.) It seems a bit... like something you probably have to be a proper comic fan to appreciate. EDIT: Hmm, ok, but bearing in mind that I'm not a comic fan, nor had that Oblivion mod, exactly what should that hammer DO? Mjölnir from the Norse mythology was probably more used for throwing than melee for example. Should it be a thrown hammer with infinite ammo? Or really, what should it do?

rodeowearden Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) The original mod definitely was calling out to the comic book roots, not the mythology, hence the precense of the other three hammers from the comics. I wasn't thinking anything fancy. As cool as it would be to have a melee weapon that you could also throw, that sounds like it'd be a proper pain in the ass to make. If I had the abilties to do it, I'd probably make it just a melee weapon. Not even necessarily an uber-powerful cheat weapon. Alternately, it would be pretty cool to make it a god item that when thrown created a powerful explosion. All just thoughts though. Beggers cant be choosers, and I'm not insisting that anyone take up this project. Just a thought, a suggestion. **Edit** I did attempt to contact the original creator of that mod, but the mod was submitted several years ago and no contact information is available on the author. Last thing I'd want to do is steal from someone's hard work. This being based on the comic book property however, I don't see anything wrong with someone recreating these weapons for a different game.

Moraelin Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 And done. Well, my interpretation of it, and bearing in mind that I'm not a comic fan, so I don't know what I'm doing :P http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42606 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
