[WIP] Wild World

[SnakeSlippers]

https://ibb.co/nQLzwH

 

Been toying around with this idea, worked on it, scrapped it, restarted for years. Finally starting again. Hopefully sticking to it.

 

I'm trying to make a Western, Wild West, type of mod for Fallout, but has nothing to do with Fallout. Just using the engine, and the resources.

 

Wild World is going to be a full blown Western mod for Fallout.

 

*Heads up*

-----------------------------------------------

Yea I know, wonderfully creative title.

Yea I know, no horses in game - I have some ideas for that, but if that don't work then I have a idea for why there are no horses.

Yea I know, it's not lore friendly......There's plenty of lore mods out there, this is not one.

Yea I know, there are plenty of good Western games out there, no Western mods for Fallout tho.

-----------------------------------------------

 

Now hopefully that's out the way.

 

*Intro*

------------------------------------------------

I chose Fallout to do it with because Fallout is basically the only game that you can pick up everything. Games like Red Dead you can only pick up, guns and ammo and stuff like that.

 

There is no backstory (yet), I wanted a Western, so I'm just basically going around turning stuff into Old Western places, things, people. There is no plan (yet).

 

 

 

 

*What's being worked on at the moment*

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Landscape - Going over world deleting the landscape from everywhere, 7-8 textures in some places, and putting down my own sand texture. Painting the canvas.

Doing so even makes the game run a little smoother. More terrains will come. Paths, grass, snow, etc.

 

Rocks - Changed all to Red Rocks, as a placeholder till I settle on a texture/color to better match the terrain.

 

Roads - Removing all roads, highways, etc. and painted the ground where the road was with a different texture so I know how the roads were setup. Roads will be replaced with dirt roads.

 

Vehicles - Removed cars, trucks, buses, etc. Including parts and tires. 100's of tires in the ocean alone.

 

Weapons - Will be replaced with guns from back then. So no Laser's, no energy, none of that. Good ol' revolvers and shotguns and dynamite.

 

Technology - Gone will be electronics.

 

Lighting - Say bye to flipping on a switch for light. All lights will be replaced with oil lanterns and such.

 

Days - Will be long

Nights - Will be dark. Don't get caught outside at night, you can't see s**t.

 

Factions - Will remain but will be replaced with Soldiers and other types of NPC's once I settle on the setup. I'm going with NCR - Union, Legion - Confederacy so far.

 

Money - No more bottle caps. Gold and Silver is the only way to go now. Coins, bars, nuggets. Maybe paper money if I can figure out what kind was used.

 

Animals/creatures - No more mutants. No robots, no 2 headed animals. All animals will be changed to real life ones. New animals will be added for hunting. All bugs will be resized and reworked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

*Some ideas I want in it*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone is kill able. Who dies is up to you.

Saloons to drink in or play poker, or rob, or shoot everyone up or get a saloon girl.

Gangs to join, other gangs to kill

Jails to be locked up in, or break out your gang members

Banks to be....duh robbed.

Kidnap people, tie up people, execute people, rob people.

Be a good guy or a bad guy it's up to you.

Hunting

Forts to be raided or defended

Armies to join or go to war with

All weapons reworked

 

I'm trying to make it very realistic but also very fun. So far every one will be killable, who dies is up to you.

 

They said the Wild West wasn't as bad or crazy as you came to believe, well it's going to be crazier now.

 

If anyone has knowledge of the Wild West, let me know. I been carefully watching Western movies and googling stuff.

If you have ideas or want to see stuff included let me know.

 

I'm not that good and don't have much experience with modding but I'll be damned if I don't do something with this crap I been working on.

 

So if anyone wants to help when the time comes, let me know.

I need help with ideas.

For making dead bodies, should I use NPC's or Ghouls? Is there a difference between which one is better to use for a corpse?

So far i find that NPC's can wear what is in the inventory which is easier, but I do have ghoul models that have some clothes.

Both can be looted.

Both have body parts that blow off.

I assume the ghouls you're referring to are the feral ghouls listed under creatures.

 

What you probably want to use would be the ghoul race that non feral ghouls (the ones that act like normal people) use.

Yes the creature ghouls. I know there is a ghoul race. That's what I'm asking, what the main differences would be between the Ghoul creature and Ghoul NPC.

 

They have nothing to do with being ghouls in my mod mind you. They just look alot more "dead" than just a NPC so I'm using that. They won't be moving, walking around, talking, nothing. Just dead.

 

Which would be better to use as corpses around the map? Creature or NPC?

[uhmattbravo]

If you want them wearing a specific armor (even if specific means random from a leveled list), use the NPC.

 

Otherwise the ferals have more tattered clothing which may look better in some situations, and the NPCs have more variety as far as shape of the face and skin color.

 

Really, I'd choose which one to use on a body by body basis rather than just picking one and using it for all of them.

That's a good idea. It would be easier to choose on a body by body basis. Thanks.

If you've figured out how to add another card game, that alone is gold.

Would be a good thing to have, I'll look into adding more minigames if I can.

Wow this sounds like a pretty ambitious mod.

 

Is there a specific time period this is supposed to be set or are you going with a western feel in general? Seeing as the Legion would be turned into the Confederacy it would be set around 1861-65 and certain weapons wouldn't be around yet like pump/lever-action shotguns and dynamite.
