Hovercraft

[PilgrimsEndTeam]

How many of you were dissapointed when you saw that mama murphy could've had a hovering wheelchair? Or that you can't fix up one of those old boats or cars? Well my friends, fear not for I have the solution to your problem. Making a discovery in the darkest corner of the interent (alchestbreach videos) I found a mod called Automathrone

Now you wonder, so what? it's a chair on sentry boats treads.

 

WRONG MOTHERHUGGER!

 

This is unlocked potential, who's key has been found when I entered into a partnership with Bwones, the mod author.

 

But there is one thing we need, 3D models.

 

So come flock to me my modeling children and give me your skills of, um, modeling. Point is i need your help to make, well anything. Boats and cars. Tanks, and motorcycles.

Contact Fragilicious. He has been working on a motorcycle mod, but has become swamped IRL. I believe he has said his model is done, though.

 

I've been thinking of something for a flying vehicle for a while now, but I don't know if that would work for something with Automathrone.

This is a link to the Atomathrone Addon page, it adds a few other vehicles, including a shiny red hover bike. Sadly no tanks yet.

Instead of treating the mounted miniguns as mounted, I would suggest adding them to the vehicle model itself and then treating it as an equipped weapon, and change the HUD to the PA one (if that is all at all possible or plausible). The reason I suggest this is so you don't have a crouched/standing animation instead of a sitting one.

 

I would also suggest taking the shape of a chair from a bus in the game and over-writing a standard chair with that, so you don't have a big cushioned one or the other available alternatives. Doing it this way should enable the sitting animations and give you something a bit more mechanical in appearance for incorporating into other vehicles.

 

The flying vehicle I spoke of is basically half of a bus (the broken bus model) with a balloon attached to the top of it, with vertibird propellers on either side and rocket engines from the USS Constitution near the bottom. I call it the Wasteland Dirigible. The plan was to add a minigun along the side stairs and treat it like a vertibird, with the point of entry being the giant gaping hole along the back - possibly setting that up as an interior cell.

As for my Automathrone comment, I was thinking that could possibly be where a driveable version would come in, since you'd already be sitting in a chair at that point. The whole reason for the idea is that it's more believable that raiders, scavengers, etc. would be able to fly something that has been crudely cobbled together than it is that there are vertibirds flying all over the place for everyone and their brother to use, rather than just the Brotherhood.

 

And, honestly, it's cool as f***, too.

 

The question of compatibility with the mod is based purely on the sheer size of the model.

 

But, really, the whole thing up to this point was just me messing around in Blender - so I doubt anything will come of it, any way, as I don't think I know everything I'd need to in order to make it work quite yet (and I have to get assets permission on the balloon part, too, were I to move forward).
