Mod Request, NEED HELP PLEASE!

[CaptainTbag]

I want to make a medium-long quest that revolves around a business.

 

I havnt decided yet where to put it, but i wanted to make a quest and i will explain more. I wanted to put a shack version of the gun runners arsenal building (shack out from with a saleperson, gated house kind of thing) but just the shack with the person in it for now, as you meet him you find out hes down on his luck, came from the west after a group of raiders killed his family, if you have the speech you can find out all he brought with him was his daddies gun (one of the many rewards)

 

when you meet him for the first time no matter what level you are, all he sells is trash, well trash to people who dont make things at the work bench, like conductors or fission batteries, things like that (with the mods i have they add a whole bunch more things to the workbench, and things that are required for them to be built, so this mod would require those mods as well)

 

After you meet him and talk for a bit, pass some checks of various skills and stats (different checks give you access to different things) he will ask you to do some stuff, such things are:

 

Donate caps so he can buy supplies to make things to sell.

 

Find him various things to build his shack into a proper house/store.

 

And a quest to find a supplier (there is 3 in total) suppliers to fund his business.

 

Ill explain more on these in the future, but lets start with the donate caps.

 

Once he trusts you he will ask if you would be so kind as to donate caps so he can buy supplies to build things, you can donate the following amounts, each give access to new items.

 

100 caps - He will sell new items he made (Lead Pipe Knives, Crowbasher, Sledgeknives, Prison Gun)

1000 caps - Start selling low end guns, and low-mid workbench stuff

2500 caps - Start selling mid range guns, some uniques, and good workbench stuff

5000 caps - More Uniques and the spare key to his house (if its been build by now, if not you will get the key when it gets built)

7500 caps - Some armors and guns, as well as some more items he made (Some items from Bingles Melee Complete)

10k caps - The Best Uniques, He also starts making mods for the weapons he makes, making them even stronger (thats a mouthful)

 

I have always been rich in this game, even without mods i found i was always getting way more caps than i was spending, so this is a way to unload a whole bunch of caps, by donating them to a worthy cause, and then using more to buy the items he makes.

 

After you pass a different set of checks, he will ask if you can go to various places in the Mojave and look for stuff so he can build his house, first he will ask if you can find some chain link fence, this can be found at Lady Gibson's place, she will ask 2500 caps for the fence, or it can be stolen, its guarded by 2 dogs that will become hostile to you no matter what, so if you steal the fence, even if no one saw you, they become hostile to you and must be killed, the Fence weighs 50 pounds so travel light. And on and on and so forth until he finishes his house, once done if you have donated enough caps at that point he will give you a key to his house (it will always be empty so its basically yours)

 

and last but not least, the main event, the quest, this i have to admit, is my favorite part. He will ask you (after another set of checks) to go out in the Mojave and find some suppliers for his business, and to advertise for him. He only wants 2 suppliers, and at that point you can end the quest but you would be missing out on the many rewards! as i was saying before, there are 3 groups in total that will supply him, you can only get one, and expect conflicts, but you can prevent these conflicts with the right skills.

 

Once the quest begins, you must go at least 2 of the 6 suppliers, and all 4 of the people who can pass the knowledge of his business around. The advertisers are:

 

-Tim Trudgdale at the Mojave outpost (he promises to tell all the Caravan's about it either by giving him 500 caps, or a speech check of 80)

-Sally Birnbaum in Novac (She will tell people passing through if you give her a Dress or with a speech of 80, same kind of dress peramiters as veronica)

-Big Steve in Freeside (Will tell all the people of freeside about it if you give him a .44 magnum Revolver or with a speech of 90, i use the Project Nevada/FOOK systems so the .44 Magnum is renamed)

-Pow Wow In Red Rock Canyon (will tell all the fiends and Raiders about it for free, but you must pass a speech check of 60 to make them behave, or they will periodically attack the place, if they do they will demand 2000 caps everytime you go there until dealt with.

 

And now onto the suppliers, each supplier wants you to do something for them and will refuse to do it if another supplier is already doing it, so choose wisely!

 

The 3 groups that can supply him are as follows, each supplier gives access to new items but with each PRO comes a CON, and ill explain below:

 

The Legion

The NCR

The United Raiders

 

I havnt decided how this will unfold but what i want, is these three groups to fight for supremacy, something like the main quest, if you do to much for one group the others will start fighting back, and once the quest is complete you get a reward depending on who you sided with, he will also give you his daddies gun, a custom high powered magnum revolver using custom ammo (i want it to be larger than a normal magnum, rusty but powerful) you have to make the ammo for this gun, it uses .500 Custom rounds, which are made from .50 BMG rounds, you break them down, use the .50 cases to make .500 cases, and use the primer and lead from the .50 to make the rounds. This is a custom gun, with custo meshes and textures, so i would need someone to make it for me.

 

All in all i want it to be a long quest with lots of custom items and with good rewards, if anyone can do this for me, help me make this mod, i would be in a great debt to you.

well its nice to see a mod so well thought out for once. unfortunately im geck handicapped and wont be of much help. what i can see though, is that this is all script work. lots of it. from what i remember from the last mod editor (the elderscrolls construction kit, remember morrowind? ---->every modkit since then has given me issues, crashes, inability to save-or- and this is a new one the geck thought that i was running some ancient operating system and wouldnt run, i redownloaded it and it worked for a bit) creating text based quests with some fetching here or there with some if-then statements was not incredibly difficult but it sounds like this project has multiple endings depending on what faction you side with-thats where i get lost- and as far as your end quest revolver (i dont mess with custom stuff, never have) ive never seen a mod that lets you transform 1 bullet casing into another so i have no idea if thats even possible, programming logic says it is, but ive never seen it done ingame at the benches. what you could do is just rechamber the mysterious strangers revolver to the .50 ae cartridge that the calibr mod adds.

he made a really great mod (but somewhat buggy- some of the ingame content his mod uses has been drastically altered by other mods i have) that adds a new region -think honest hearts- and a quest that can be played from an ncr or legion stand point- in other words i think he understands the whole multiple endings thing.
