Artyom87 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi guys. I've started creting new mod for F4. Since i'm a 3D modeller, i can do stuff like modelling,texturing,rigging etc... but i have just a little experience with CreationKit and scripting. It's supposed to be a bigger mod and i just don't wanna get stuck half a way on something scripting related. How do you guys grouping up to create mods? Is there any forum/thread for modders looking for buddies? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montky Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 @Artyom87an excellent question.it can be intimidating, with zugzwange of overchoice - its too many possibilities from a blank sheet of paper,at first to start out with. look no further hehe.a lot of people start out by themselves and make a couple of code-fragments or mods,I started making a "Lava Lamps more Lava-y" mod - it annoyed me for a long time since release that the FO4 Lava Lamps were not at all lava-y.NMM's a place where modders with more "Mod Fu" will come by and help workshop that code in the FO4 Creation Kit and Modders thread etc.it's like a 6Sigma Mod Fu Dojo hehe. Reveal hidden contents there are many different projects who are always looking for "Mod Buddies"/ "Collabers"it really moreso depends on what you'd like to do.most folks share a "Work-In-Progress" thread, or put out a call for a project,whereas others might all have a similar idea at the same time, and decide to team up rather than compete and duplicate efforts with each other hehe. it depends on you, and send folks you'd like to collab with a Private Message, and network that way,give it a go, hehe. do you want to do faction-specific stuff? Enclave, BoS, Institute, Minutemen?how about props/items, settlement building parts packs, or weapons parts packs?then there's companions, settlements, UI etc.and finally, there are the really complex stuff - overhauls, new lands, new enemies/creatures, new language-interoperability, new regionalizations, kludges of all kinds. and, that's just here at NMM;there's many other boards and places to find collabs,such as your local LAN Party/Computing Society or robotics club,then, places like Moddb, Github, CodeStackExchange, OpenCog, ThisWeekInTech and many AGI boards... I hope this helps give you some ideas on where to get started,and I look forward to seeing what mods and ideas you might come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artyom87 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thank you for all your advices montky. I'm planning to add new faction. I remember some old documentary about a cold war where they revealed it's possible that there were a secret groups of soviet soldiers all across the US, living as civilians, waiting for war to start creating chaos and doing sabotages in the cities. So my idea is to add soviet stuff (armors, items, buildings...etc) and make them fight against minutemen (you know, minutement wants to rebuild "good ol' murica" and soviets wants to turn all world "red"). So based on your advices, i'm just going to start creating all this stuff and will create WIP thread later, and will see if someone would like to join or not.

montky Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 awesome stuff Artyom87!aha... 'red dawn' style stuff huh?"Boris have bushy mustache, repeat, boris have bushy mustache". yeah, there was concept art for that kind of thing.and a lot of fans of Fallout are fans of Metro or STALKER also. it'd be neat to have a dedicated thread for stuff like PKD, PPSG, AK etca proper PSM and Tokarev, proper mosin-nagants, Vektor,maybe even 'arsenal arms stryzhk struvehstoikha?" (very awesome joint Russian-Italian stuff)alt-MIG or alt-Sukhoi, the sukhoi-coanda-flettner aircraftsT-34s (still in 2077!)items like Baked Milk, balalaika, Piroshki, gnocci (russian stuffed gnocci) and Russian style settlement architecture! maybe, some music also,as the Scriabin, Rachmaninoff etc... through to more modern music (fallout modern anyways).such as by "Gala Voices" Above: they do many covers entirely in Ruski Cyrillicthey're self-described as an "Anti P$$Y-Riot"ideally also eventually "language regionalizations', though we have to wait until after the NPC overhaul before we can do that moreso. Stronglav had a couple of awesome ideas and collab ideas,similarly themed with RUS-americans who fought the minutemen.and Fixadent has made a few architectural musings hehe.statues and locations. maybe there is more than one faction?ie, Red, White, Black, Colorless etc.would those fight amongst themselves in the new land? Reveal hidden contents in Fallout Lore of Adamowicz, and H Ellison, Avellone and the Fallout Bible (a set of exegetical influences)RUS joined USA to form, USSR/USSA (hence the odd 'constellation' of stars).in the fallout verse, Russia never sold it's north american holdings, and assisted in the revolutionary war of 1776.The French didn't as much, hence why the eventual Annexation of Canada happened later.we have only seen that from a USA perspective.I wonder what the RUS side of that might be?(they might think it is SNG Sodruzhestvo Nezavisimykh Gosudarstv, world trade federations )so, it makes sense they might pre-position, analogous to what happen between USSR and SNG forming. in fallout timeline,2050s was the start of escalation between USSA and China federation,which led to Chinese/Asian-Americans to experience internment, the Blue Virus FEV test, etcso maybe, after Canada Annexation, is when RUS ramp up that? they would have R2Prevent, to try and stop the Enclave.maybe, even they team up with the BoS/"Society of Steele" to preventthe Enclave. The Enclave are a cosmopolitan existential threat to all peoples of earth;being evil-technocrat, they don't care about anyone or anything which stands in the Enclave's way.what would the RUS decampment of the BoS be like?/ the RUS chapter of Society of Steele... I think their faction would maybe know about a lot of installations,and maybe prevented other attack. by 2300...think of all the tripartite descendants from that 'vanguard' -they'd be like the Shi, or Caesar's Legion...a Red Dawn faction, maybe they only speak cyrillic, and style themselves on russian history,Pyotr the great, Alexander the Magnificent etc.maybe they have their own "Institute", like Dubna 2,0 hehe.

Artyom87 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Metro series, but i thinks that to keep immersiveness of Fallout design it would be better to focus on stuff of older design (or modify a bit modern stuff tomatch the game design). I'm also thinking to create some quest lines (one of them should be to get a translator holotape). My idea is not to create old communism felling but to create feeling of soldiers trying to survive in hostile wasteland, far away from their motherland (music should help to create atmosphere). I've also seen some soviet themed mods, but all of them are just retexture mods and i'm not a very big fan of retexturing.I've started creating armor already, where i've decided to create 4 types (based on old 6b3 armor). That's the hardest part, other stuff like items,buildings etc should be easier (due of simplicity of meshes) so i should be able to open WIP thread in 2 - 3 weeks.I hope someone will join then, especially for importing items to the game :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
