Exodus1111 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Trying to make some areas part of the outside world and i find i could really need a good outdoor tutorial that thorougly goes through every aspect of outdoor creation. Anyone capable of making a tutorial like that out there? -Exo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman2310a Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The best place to find a indepth tutorial would definitely be the GECK wiki, don't worry about it saying fallout 3, it applies for Vegas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 What exactly do you want to do? There is a tutorial on creating a new worldspace, which you can find by searching "worldspace" at the fallout3nexus download page. There isn't much you can do to change the existing worldspaces with FNV; if you edit the heightmap much at all, you run into a problem that the LOD cannot be updated. So buildings you add, or raised terrain you add, cannot be seen at a distance. And if you lower terrain, then the old LOD lo-res terrain "sticks up" through your changes.

Well thats EXACTLY the kind of things I need to learn. Most of the mods that adds changes to the outside world ive played has these changes (buldings etc) pop up as u approach them, and tend to give the most CDT issues. Yet viewing landscape at a distance is supposedly one of the strenghts of this game engine and works very well in the vanilla game. What If I wanted to make a unique area outside the regular map like they do in the DLCs, or just add a large area of my own, is there no way to view it at a distance? And thats just one of the million questions im bound to have if I attempt something like that. Here is exactly what I want: A Video tutorial of someone making an outdoor area that connects to the main world, like Jacobs town does. So it connects directly, with no load screen, is relatively large and still blocked off into its own area. I know its a lot to ask, but I feel a tutorial like that would quickly get quite popular here in the mod community. -Exo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlallen Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Jacobstown is not a separate worldspace. It is part of the main worldspace, which has walls around it. That is why there is no loading screen. The DLC's are separate worldspaces, which is why they have loading screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie70 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The DLC's are separate worldspaces, which is why they have loading screens....which reminds me of one thing i'm really wondering since oblivion (if not morrowind) - why do the addons (to stick with the pre-'dlc'-term :-) _never_ take place in the original worldspaces, especially in oblivion and new vegas, where there's vast areas of the map unused & inaccessible?'cause personally, i'd really prefer something that kind of refreshes the whole game (after ages of playing before the dlc's come out) than those thingies-in-a-box, that you play through once and then it's done with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWolf Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Broken Steel for Fallout 3 is exactly what you're talking about, but I don't know why they don't produce more DLC like it. Would probably be more popular by my reckoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310a Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think Old World Blues takes place to the East of Vegas, in the area past Nellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
