knr56 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've seen this thread on the top of this forum for weeks and finally decided to take a look at what's been done. Great job! I hope this gets finished.BTW what is the size of the island compared to FNV's map? Could you post maybe? Best of luck to everybody who works on this.

TrooperScooperMKII Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I got an idea for the water: the water in the ocean dehydrates your character, rather than hydrating. It would be a lot more realistic.Yeah, that makes sense.It would be clean, though, so no rads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job! I hope this gets finished.BTW what is the size of the island compared to FNV's map? Could you post maybe? Best of luck to everybody who works on this.Right now it's just me in GECK, plus a running conversation between me and Ave and hopefully/possibly AllanOcelot as a modeler for treemaking...RE the size, I don't have my main PC up right now so I can't quote exact numbers wrt vanilla New Vegas. The Isle is going to be big though. At least DLC size, and if/when the "BigIsle" is done there are still one or two more to do.http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3999/base5l.jpg The Big Isle is about half of the total land area in Hawaii. Oahu has the most people (~1000 per square mile, IIRC) and has most of the stuff- IRL and in the mod- so it will likely be the last to be added, due to the large quantity of insanely epic buildings/locations and the large scale trans-imperial warfare... A few other islands may or may not make it in. I'm too tired/lazy to write the whole list, so wiki it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hopefully all this hard work will pay off. I'm sure this mod will be heavily downloaded once it's done! (though that wont be for a long time!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdthemag Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Or it could hydrate you, but after drinking a lot you'd get some sort of debuf. Hallucinations from drinking too much salt water would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyro Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I wonder if it still be in production when Skyrim comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliasTheory Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What a fantastic idea. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii, and I'd love to see where this goes. Watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperScooperMKII Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I wonder if it still be in production when Skyrim comes out?Probably. The SS WWWW project started in March? as a big discussion/early GECK work. The Big Isle might not have as many new resources (plants, a skydome and lots of retextures) but it's a lot of work in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I came up with the idea of a cult of primitivists living in the European controlled area. They might be able to play a part in the later quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knr56 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just thought I'd put an idea out for a story:During the war in Anchorage the Chinese managed to capture one of the Western Hawaiian islands and turned it into a base of operations for the pacific in the years before the great war.None of Hawaii was directley bombed in the war, but affected by the fallout, making it prime real estate for many European and American companies that survived, and the remenants of the Chinese base went into hiding.There were many conflicts between the new arrivals to the island and the tribal remains of society that had resided there for hundreds of years, but ultimatley, the companies took control of the island due to larger numbers and a technological advantage.Over time, the Chinese remenants began growing in numbers and set out to finish their ancestors mission, destroy the capitalist world (or something). It would contain themes relating to North American/Hawaiian western settlement along with far right vs far left political warfare (for any literature junkies out there) Penny for my thoughts?
