Lone Star Shootout

Lone Star Shootout

 

Hello everyone!

I need Map/Building/Item designers, Character programmers, and voice actors

 

I've been writing a quest, that takes the player into the North Texas area of Dallas-Fort-Worth.

And will need some help with designing the area over all, programming dialogue and character actions, voice actors for characters. Because I've been trying out GECK for the past few days, and man do I suck.

But I don't want my idea to just be an idea, I would love for it to be in mod form.

 

The rough story is this: Nash tasks the Courier with joining another Courier group to head to Texas to deliver a message to the BoS station in Fort Worth, The Courier accepts. But as they near the Fort, and band of Legionares and White legs ambush the group. As the Courier is the only one left, a group of Texas Rangers swoop in and fight back the ambush. The Courier is the asked to visit the President of the Republic who is visiting Dallas, the President having heard the stories of a Courier from New Vegas who could help with the problems in the Area.

The Courier can then choose to help:

The Republic-The Good.

The Legion- The Bad.

The Brotherhood of Steel- The Ugly.

 

The Republic aim to take Fort Worth by force or negotiation from the Brotherhood, who have held it for 5 years. They also need help with the growing Legion problem in the area and other misc tasks. The Republic's only goal is to clean up the Lone Star wastes to bring it back to it's former glory and will not deal with ANY savages or mutants.

The Brotherhood have held Fort Worth for 5 years, taking all the pre-war tech and are in search for the mysterious Vault 9, which is Legend to hold many Pre-War weaponry. The firm leader believes that they must get the Tech by any means necessary even if it's war with the Republic.

The Legion came to Texas after the first Battle of Hoover Dam thinking a few Deserters and Raiders held Fort Worth, they were surely mistaken and lost half of their men in a bloody battle. They now terrorize the Wasteland, recruiting and slaving, waiting to attack again.

 

The Courier can decide who's side to choose.

 

 

The Lone Star Wastelands nine MAIN Areas are:

Dallas- The 3rd biggest City in the Texas Republic.

Fort Worth- A large city fortified by it's high walls and guard towers.

New Arlington- Former Amusement park now the "New Vegas" of Texas.

Dechman- Small town in the center of the Wasteland.

Washington- Town located to the North who the Legion plan on taking.

The Oil Field- Abandoned Oil Field where the main Legion Camp is.

Tom Landry Freeway- A freeway/highway that runs through the center of the Wastes, connecting Dallas and Fort Worth, Part of Interstate 30.

Vault 20- An old Vault that the Republic needs for weaponry for new Recruits.

Vault 9- The mysterious Vault 10 that was apart of many of Vault-Tecs experimental Vaults. A s*** load of high-end weaponry, and a strain of FEV that made you go on a killing spree.

Vault 10- A vault backed by Nuka-Cola, testing the Eat-O-matic cafeteria, all the occupants became overweight. It has now been known all around has the best place to get a bite to eat in North Texas

 

That's the story so far, and anyone is welcome to suggest things!

I just need help with it.

Also, I'd REALLY like for the characters to be lip synced.

I want this whole thing to be a work in progress and a team of people working together.

 

I'm slowly thinking of Characters and quests right now.

[Mardrigon]

Glad to help with lay out and base designs but do you have some photos of the base in the 50's so we can stay lore friendly

 

Quest idea got plenty just by reading you intro:

1) Retrieve Mail run from Fort for the BoS in Mojave

2) Nash want to make contact with another Courier Group to extend information Highway "PONY EXPRESS REBORN"

3) Mr House hears of some interesting tech developments at the Fort (false rumors, or maybe not)

4) Ceasar hasnt received a messanger from the forward unit and wants a report YESTERDAY!

 

Just some quick ideas to get courier there

 

has the highway become a dragstrip or a battle ground of baker gangs?

Has arlington become a resort for the sane or are those Ghoul, hotel managers hiding a darker secert in the basement?

 

As long as i got the Models i can place most anything (just learning how to make models, still trying to figure out how to add them lol)

 

My weakness is scripting and animation

[Revolution689]

Thanks for the help!

I made an album that has some old pictures of the area (Which were actually hard to find)

http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee453/Revolution689/NV-Mod/

1. Statue of a Texas Ranger in the Love Field Airport lobby

2. Love field Airport, color.

3. Love Field Airport.

4. Areal few of the runway

5. John F. Kennedy speaking in Grand Prairie (Which Dechman is based off of)

6. Irving Highschool (Irving, which is what Washington is based off of)

7. Panoramic of Fort Worth.

8. Dallas Skyline.

9. Downtown Dallas skyline.

10. Dallas, with the Grassy Knoll being at the very bottom. (I'd like the grassy knoll to actually be in the mod, just 'cause it's an interesting place)

 

And I like the Idea of Nash sending another Courier group as a New Pony Express! But I don't if this good be worked in, but like the way you want do the quest (For the Brotherhood, On your own, For House, or for The Legion) We could use all four ideas! So's to make it comfortable for the people who prefer the Legion way! But with different story out comes is more work on characters and dialogue.

The highway is safe is only when it passes through a town, the other sections it's part of the wastes and raiders raid.

New Arlington is based off the Six Flags Amusement park that's in Arlington, it's a safe haven full of gamblers and people looking to wet their whistle.

Ideas would be have like the Primm coaster in there but looking a bit different so's not to copy completely, the park also has a big observation tower called the Oil Derick, I'd like maybe a smaller version to work as a radio tower for the wasteland.

 

And it's great to hear that you're good with models, I've tried for the past week and aren't good at all!

Thanks for the help!

 

Edit:

Updated the album with more pics from the Freeway, Seeing as it will be where you spend most of your time walking on.

1. Heading into Dallas, Obviously the Dallas in the mod will differ GREATLY from this one, Did New Vegas look like Las Vegas? Not at all!

2. An Art Deco building in Fort Worth, added cause art deco is all in Fallout.

3. A picture of the Tom Landry Freeway sign.

4. Passing by the Six Flags park and it's tower. The park is RIGHT next to the freeway.

5. The Six flags sign, thought it'd be cool to add that.

6. Railway bridge in Dallas that the freeway goes under

7. Just a view of the Freeway.

8. Various stores that are alongside the freeway near Six Flags.

9. Heading into Fort Worth from the Freeway, Fort worth will differ MUCH from this.

10. Map of the Wasteland, as of now. This is DEFINITELY not what it'll look like, just to give the idea of everything.

Grand Prairie is Dechman, Iriving is Washington, The area of Richardson Hills and Hurst will be the Oil Field.

Dallas is in the East and Fort Worth in the West, So Fort Worth IS closer to New Vegas by a small margin.

 

I'll sketch up an actual map soon, and will downscale everything, I don't want this to be THAT big.

I can help with story writing.

[Revolution689]

Alright well, most of the quests and characters have been written up.

All the dialogue is comin' up too!

[Mardrigon]

For reduction of map why not make Prt of Tom Landry the NEW Love airfeild so you can use the highway as main

or lets forcus around airfield

- Anchor Motel

- Texas Stadium

- South Western Medical center GHOUL FUN ? or even Mutants?

- Brook Hollow Cuntry club

- Bachman lake

 

like you said not big lol

i might have to get all the DLCs to get more adds to make this little better too lol

 

Love Field Area

[Revolution689]

I didn't want to make it THAT small, I mean by downsize I still want the two cities. I mean, Las Vegas is MUCH bigger than New Vegas is. Good Springs is a "Town" but has around like 8 buildings and half of them you can't enter.

Width would be like Nellis to Jacobstown, Height would be like the New Vegas gate to Nellis hangers. I mean, that's even a bit big. But most would just be hills, plains, and highway.

I really like the idea of the Highway being used as like a Landing strip, also I didn't have ideas for like other areas of the Wasteland (I just had like the main areas like Dallas and Fort Worth) But adding Stuff like The Anchor Hotel and South Western Medical would be AWESOME!

I wouldn't want (Well I would but it'd be hard) to do Texas Stadium though, That's a bit big. Maybe just the ruins of it.

 

Like the Google map picture I put in the album is NO WHERE near how I would actually like this.

Updated the album with some sketches of what the areas might look like:

1. Fort Worth. (Note the BoS Texas Logo on the sign)

2. New Arlington

3. Texas Stadium

4. Love Field Airport

5. The Oil Field/Legion Camp (Note the bent Radiation sign)

6. Dallas

7. A Complete/Finished Map of Dallas

8. ROUGH map of the Wasteland.

 

Just some concept arts of the areas.

Not getting much help with this as I liked, so I might contact some people...

[Mardrigon]

been working on models and maps but i had a system crash during one of my mod sessions i not sure how much i loss trying to retrieve data but not looking good

 

question on the buildings do you want more or less access to the rubble such as sniper points instead of just building after building of just restricted areas. Do you want to allow a person to be able to litterly crawl over everthing?

 

For the vault i have been working on a new vault style less blocky or cubed halls i am down to two designs i like round like SGC tunnels and octagon like Alien, now this is just corridors

 

Can you give me a rough estimate on part you like to add to Vault?

- I am working on New models style for Reactor, the corridors and furnishings but not sure how to go contemporary, retro or futuristic

- Do you want new weapons styles, clothing, and armor?

 

sorry for not responding sooner since they updating system and i been working long days in RL been a pain.
