DjMystro's 'Psiclones' Mod Thread

[djmystro]

Here's some info on a new mod I'll be releasing soon.

So far it is about 90% complete and all the main buildings are complete, populated and fully tested. Here's the description from the readme:

 

Description:

Psiclones is FPS-Inspired combat mod for FNV. Expect lots of shooting.

Fight through 8 levels of mayhem in the Cornucopia HQ down into the Psiclone Labs battling dozens of deadly Clone Troopers along the way.

 

Storyline (Short Version):

An ex-BOS Outcast turned megalomaniac fugitive called Rothcold has fled to Nevada from the DC ruins after a joint BOS/Outcast search and destroy operation wiped out his base of operations in the area. He uses armies of clones from anyone he captures, reprogrammed to meet his own ends. He usually kidnaps women. Back in DC it is rumoured he had a trade deal going with the slavers of Paradise Falls.

If he has found another functional Psiclone lab expect to run into a near endless supply of merciless, genetically reprogrammed clones subservient only to Rothcold. Rothcolds plans almost always end in World Domination of one kind or another. Terminate him with extreme prejudice. The longer he remains active the higher a threat he poses as not only will he continue to create clones but each generation of clones he creates refines the process allowing for much deadlier troops.

 

 

Here's the first note from Rothcold for a bit of background (heavily edited for strong language):

 

"Well I should have known that fool Lyons would still be a threat. After they got that fresh water out into the wastes the BOS got a lot more popular in DC. Blew up my entire base of operations and destroyed my army. At least I don’t have to put up with the scum here. They must be able to smell their holier-than thou BS through all the fresh air around here.

I could see on the monitors they even got the Outcasts to help take me down. My own brothers in arms seeking my blood and for what? A few women go missing and some wastelanders end up dead. Spilt 'effing milk. Even that hero Vault dweller made an appearance. I’ll bet it was that self righteous s*** who took out my outposts.

Well they’re morons if they think they got they can get me that easily. As if I would not plan for a situation like this, though I never thought they would use such a large area explosive so close to Paradise Falls. I guess slavers don’t count for crap and neither do their slaves. Damn BOS hypocrites.

The escape tunnels worked fine and I managed to sneak out with five last generation clones. Unfortunately we lost one to a Radscorpion Nest north of Canterbury just a few miles from the Vertibird storage. A second was killed out on the J15 by a Deathclaw ambush. There’s a lot of those hulking freaks out here. If only I could have gotten hold of some of that Enclave Tech before it was all seized. At least two Chrissys and a Jemma made it so I can still avoid all the heavy lifting.

It’ll only be a matter of time before they find my escape route but I think by now I have put enough distance between myself and the Brotherhood Of Steel. If they even dare show their faces in the region either Caesar or the NCR will take care of them for me. Plus the records that led me here will have been destroyed along with the rest of the DC Psiclone facility so they have no way of tracking me.

The previous residents here did not or were not able to offer much resistance. By the looks of all their peace propaganda and the pathetic nature of their attempts at pleading mercy I’d imagine they were all ‘Hippies’ if that’s the correct word. I heard they rounded up their sort and quietly disposed of them before the Great War. Best thing for ‘em in this world. Kill or be killed. I could just see the look on Lyon’s face in my minds eye as I executed them one by one. That old b*****d would have had a heart attack if he could have seen it.

I left one woman alive. Part mutie, judging by her blue hair. We have her drugged and tied. She’ll make perfect stock for the Psiclone labs once we make a breach.

Now I just need to find a way into the local Psiclone labs. I know there’s an entrance nearby but if I’m not mistaken any attempts to breach the outer door without the correct keycard will result in an area explosion. Whether or not the power is still running to that trap it’s not worth taking the risk.

I checked the blueprints on this facility and if I’m not mistaken the Psiclone Waste Disposal plant should be bordering very close to the Storeroom of this old superstore. With enough C4 and the Clones to tunnel for me I’m certain we can make a breach without triggering any defences."

You are a machine.

[djmystro]

Cheers :) I do wonder sometimes, though I'm not thinking in binary just yet.

[rickerhk]

Looking forward to this ;)

I second the first comment. You are a machine.

 

It looks fantastic

 

Is it good or bad that this is better that the official dlc?

[jsnider193]

great something more to play .. luv it. Is this gonna be in a new world space or just a entrance somewhere in NV area? No matter will be fun to hunt .. and of course you have to make it so the bad dude gets away so we can have a sequeal or something

[djmystro]

rickerhk:

Thanks, hope you like it :)

 

PowderdToastMan:

Good for me I think but it depends on the DLC. Though I'd have loved to have seen a building this big and dangerous in any DLC it's still only a couple of hours play-time including looting and reading so I wouldn't call it a Point Lookout or anything.

I guess the worrying thing is that I got this mod built in under two weeks only working about 4 hours a day on it with a full 18 hour shift at the end. So that being said why is Honest Hearts only populated by sparse tiny caves that would take me about an hour each to create? Up to them what they want at the end of the day I suppose.

The entance is near Mountain Shadows Campground in the main FNV Map.

 

The mod is previewing over at the unnamable Underground site for those in the know who are interested (don't ask for a link, I'm not allowed to post or message one through the Nexus).

 

Here's a few more screens:

It's OUT NOW :)

 

I managed to get it all finished tonight so I thought I'd get the main version released ASAP.

I hope you all like it and it lives up to expecatations.
