Need help with completing vending machine NIF/mod

[Tilarta]

I have been attempting to make a mod that replaces the Nuka Cola Vending machine with the one from Fallout New Vegas.

I've taken the work as far as I can and I need help to finish the NIF file.

 

This is the current stage of my project:

If anyone has the necessary skills/knowledge to finish the object modifications, please respond to this thread.

If you wish to be credited as a co-author if/when I release the mod, I will do so.

Do you not just need to open up the Nif file for the Vanilla vending machine. Then it's just a case of copying over the mesh right?

 

I would imagine you can get away with using the collision for the vanilla vending machine.

 

Then in the creation kit, kit, just change the Nif file to yours.

Well, it's actually a lot more complicated then that.

 

The small screen near the top of the machine and the white panel just below it are separate objects, as is the power connector on the back.

I couldn't figure out how to apply the texture files I created to those objects, as there isn't a pre-existing template to work from.

 

This part of the project has two stages.

 

The first part is to replace all the vanilla vending machines with this one.

That's probably going to need some script recoding as the container code is quite different from this one.

Basically. there's a little box inside the vanilla machine which has 6 visible bottles which randomly change assortments every few days of game time.

That code will have to deleted and replaced with code that does the same thing by just changing the contents of this container.

 

The second stage is to make this into a Settlement object, which is why I put the power node on the back.

When a wire from the Settlement power grid is connected to that node, I want the screens to light up and the smaller screen to change graphics.

I also want any beverages that are placed inside the container when it is powered up to be chilled, as it is technically a functioning refrigerator.

 

Since I'm not an expert modder and haven't solved any of those problems, I decided I needed the input of someone who could finish what I started.

Then I can go back to the much simpler task of retexturing the bottles ingame.

 

I'm also planning to use this mod as a template for a new mod I have in mind, so it's important it works as it will be replicated to create the derivative mod.

Additionally, this is also preventing me from playing the Nuka World DLC, as I want to see my mod working ingame during gameplay for bug testing purposes.
