Mahare Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Welp, I'm trying again. I was tossing around the idea for making a Nuka Chemist based mod, but now, my plans are a little further reaching. I want to add in some Sunset variations also. I have the mod mostly fleshed out for personal use, however...there are some aspects I am lacking to make it be able to be released to the public. Namely, a higher-res template for the Sunset Sodas. I can retexture well enough, but I can't fully texture on my own. Also, if I were to add in ice-cold Sunset brew, I'd need a special fridge, which seems to be presently lacking. Enough on what I don't have. Time for what I do have. Nine Nuka Cola brews that were not added to New Vegas - one being the Quantum from Fallout 3, seven being from AfroSlayer's Nuka-Cola mod, used with permission, and one being self made. In addition, seven new Sunset beverages have been revealed to the wasteland - while Sarsaparilla may be top dog for the Sunset company, in this mod, it was no mere one trick pony. Nuka Chemist has been changed to work with Science at the workbench or Survival at a campfire. In addition, a new perk was added - Sunset Scientist. Same thing, but with Sunset beverages. The special Nuka Cola fridge that can be found in only four locations has been set up to chill your Nuka Cola as well. Vending machines now have a chance to carry the specialized forms of Nuka Cola and Sunset Beverages. Nuka Cola can also get you addicted, with no ill effects, just like old times! What's left to do? Add in some Sunset fridges to make Sunset Sarsaparilla nice and ice cold. Tweak the effects of certain items – at the moment, the Sunset beverages are sorely lacking as I think of effects to add to them. And recipes for the Sunset beverages...not certain what ingredients to use for them. It'll be one Sunset Sarsaparilla and two grown items. Just a matter of what. =================And now for the items.================= Nuka Cola Variants Nuka Cola Black - Increased Strength (1), Increased Melee Damage (3) - Honey Mesquite Pod & Jalapeno PepperNuka Cola Burst - Increased Agility (1), Regenerate AP (3, 10s) - Barrel Cactus Fruit & Prickly Pear FruitNuka Cola Cherry - Increased Intelligence (1), Weapon Spread Reduced - Banana Yucca Fruit & Prickly Pear FruitNuka Cola Clear - Increased Perception (1), Restore Rads (5, 10s) - Barrel Cactus Fruit & Buffalo Gourd SeedNuka Cola Frost - Increased Charisma (1), No Dehydration - Honey Mesquite Pod & Nevada Agave FruitNuka Cola Fusion - +2 ST, +2 PE, -2 CH, -2 IN, +2 AG - Honey Mesquite Pod & Prickly Pear FruitNuka Cola Heat - Increased Endurance (1), Fire Resistance (35) - Buffalo Gourd Seed & Jalapeno PepperNuka Cola Indi-Glo - Increased Poison Resistance, Cures Poison - Maize & Pinto BeansNuka Cola Quantum - Major Sleep Restore, Turbo Effect - Nevada Agave Fruit & Banana Yucca FruitNuka Cola Quartz - Low-Light Vision, Increased DT - Barrel Cactus Fruit & Nevada Agave Fruit (Subject to change, as these are used to make Nuka Cola in Honest Hearts)Nuka Cola Victory - Increased AP (10), Reduced Perception (1)Banana Yucca Fruit & Buffalo Gourd Seed Sunset Varieties Sunset Birch Beer - Increased Per (1) - Sunset Cinnamon - Increased End (1) - Sunset Chutzpah! - Increased Luck (1), Increased Crit Chance - Sunset Cream Soda - Increased Agi (1) - Sunset Ginger Ale - Increased Int (1) - Sunset Mentha - Increased Cha (1) - Sunset Root Beer - Increased Str (1) - =============================Behind the Scenes – Sunset Variations============================= We have various Nuka Cola style mods. First, Skykappa made the Nuka Cola Clear, Fusion, and Cherry variants, and then AfroSlayer made Black, Burst, Frost and Heat. None of them are too outlandish for the Fallout universe. So I made a self-port to New Vegas, as Nuka Cola Plus seems rather lore-unfriendly, and Nuka Chemist Plus didn't do enough to satisfy me. But that left the other soda giant out of the picture. Sunset Sarsaparilla is supposed to be huge in the Mojave. But just one kinda brew? I tried to do some research into it. And thought...well, there is historical precedent with adding menthe and cinnamon to sarsaparilla. And I thought root beer, birch beer, and cream soda would be good additions. So doubleyou tee eff is Sunset Chutzpah!? Well, the taste of Chutzpah has a bit more of a metallic taste. It's Sunset's foray into the world of cola. Somewhat more bitter. And it was around long before Nuka-Cola came into being. It was originally used to cure paralysis, softening of the brain, nervousness, and insomnia. Chutzpah! Is the Fallout equivalent of the real-world soda Moxie. Figured a little shout-out wouldn't be bad. =============How Can I Help?============= Simple! Recipe combos for the Sunset drinks (think logically; what would the best two herbal items be for the Birch Beer for example?). Additional effect variations for the Sunset items. And a Sunset hi-res texture, preferably one that you wouldn't mind me editing the text on. With those complete, carbonation will rule the Mojave! Also, one idea I'm leaving up to the community. Should I have the vending machines respawn; only the Old World Blues ones in the Sink respawn, or no respawning at all?
