Looking for mod collaboration

[Wunderbot]

The greatest mods on the Nexus have quite often been the result of collaboration between modders. That's why I am looking for my very own partner(s) in modding to become the next unoctium and DogtoothCG, except I'll be way less skilled and you'll have to carry the both of us. First of all, I'll introduce myself. What can I offer our little collaboration?

 

• My main skill lies in photoshopping. I can make retextures or new textures from scratch, but I have no experience with the more technical aspects, like the wrapping of textures around models.
• I have basic knowledge of FO4Edit. I can make basic alterations to stats and such and know how to make a standalone object.
• I'm a writer and a lore fanatic. I'm sure almost everyone fancies themselves a good writer, but I know my lore like only a real OG does.
• I'm available every day. I'm a student and with the academic year not yet underway, I have plenty of time for the coming months.

Here are a few of my current projects. I've already done quite some work on them, but I have more plans than what I'm capable of doing myself. Do note that I'm not looking to collaborate on just my own projects. I won't force you into a one-way street where you're just working on the things I want made.

This is a project that's in the final stages already. I've created over fifty new textures and plan to keep adding to this whenever I feel like it. It's a simple mod that adds new clothing and varying recolours of vanilla clothing to the levelled lists of settlers and to containers all over the game. Settlers will look a lot more varied and people won't be forced to wear one particular colour of their favourite clothing. I've already acquired the permission of several other mod authors that have created new clothing that's of high enough quality to blend in with vanilla pieces. I might eventually turn this into a complete settler overhaul that includes new faces and recruitable settlers with voice acting, but that's for the distant future.

Another project that I've already put a lot of time into. I've created several variations on the Minutemen uniform, introduced new Minutemen-themed outfits like a Provisioner's uniform and an Artilleryman uniform, and created some special textures for unique items that will be hidden in the world, waiting to be found. I have also designed new types of Minutemen NPCs that can spawn, to create diversity in Minutemen patrols and to make Minutemen patrols stronger in a balanced way so they aren't always outclassed by all other factions, like the Brotherhood. I'd also like to insert the Minutemen lore into the game in a smoother way by adding terminal entries, notes, etc.

The main goal here is to make the Gunners feel unique instead of reskinned Raiders. New Gunner outfits, new Gunner faces, new unique named NPCs to confront (using vanilla Gunners that are named and just don't appear in person), expanding their lore, etc. Still in the planning phase for this one, so I'll need all the input I can get. There are already two great mods similar to this one, so this one's last on the list.

 

 

So, what am I looking for?

• In short, somebody with more experience with FO4Edit and the GECK. Unique outfits will have to manually be placed into the world, scripts will have to be used so we can add to the levelled lists without conflicting with every other mod, spawn points will have to be placed, and so forth.
• If only just one project picques your interest, or if you have one particular project in mind you want me to help with, then that's no problem. Not everyone I work with has to stick with me for every project I want to make.

What am I not looking for?

• Offers that are basically just mod requests in disguise. I'm looking for a real partner, so don't just approach me because you want something made and can't do it yourself. I've done requests before and I'll do so again in the future when I feel like it.

 

Looking forward to your PMs!

I've spent so, so many hours in F03Edit and from what I can see, F04Edit is next to identical, but I'm not nearly confident enough in my GECK skills to take this on. I wish I was, but I'm just not there yet. I've got all the time in the world, every program you could ask for and respectable rig to run them on, but still too many holes in my knowledge to apply for this.

 

Still, your work is wonderful and very much appreciated. I have no doubt you'll find someone in no time.
