toy companion

[ratkage]

Can any one upload toy companions like Buddy chicken.

little toy/robotic companions that will follow but not fight enemies.

instead they will provide unique benefits.

 

like blocking bullets for 5 seconds

or looting items for you

or stunning enemies for 3 seconds

or make enemies friendly for 5-10 seconds. :ermm:

 

They will need to recharge this abilities (like 12-24 hours).

 

And you can carry them in your pocket and summon them with a controller.

 

There are lot of companions but only one toy companion in this site.

I hope some one makes this mod.

The hurdles to overcome are models and skeleton/animations. The easier the format is to convert to nif the better your chances of getting a model (open permission model of course), with in game assets being the easiest.

Then you have a choice of whether you want actual animations instead of just movement. If you do you'll need to find the closest skeleton and rig it.

If you don't need animations and it just moves about, then you can rig it in a very simple way to many skeletons.

 

As an example it might be possible to rig the dino toy to a gecko skeleton.

 

Jokerine has her buddy chicken companion (she likes chickens)

Yeah i am using buddy chicken. :smile:

Thats where i got the idea.There are lot of companions but only one toy companion.

I am not a moder.otherwise i would make one.

Sure I understand, but the info applies in a more general sense....whether you were to personally complete a mod, or another modder.

 

I might be able to help you out a bit and you can also do a *lot* of the work even though you can't "officially" mod yet.

 

I may be able to rig Dinky the dinosaur if that interests you. Let me know if your interested and I'll look into it.

 

If you want another toy companion, first I'd say take a look at game assets (models) and see if there is a model you'd like to use. If you can't find one, take a look at free permission/open use models on 3D model sites (there are a ton of them). This will make it a lot easier for me since 1. I don't have the time to look and 2. you know what you'd like as far as a toy model.

Let me know if you find one you want to use. Format can be an issue, but we'll deal with that later.

 

We'll see if we can't get you an extra toy companion or two.

 

I (and others) have rigged a teddy bear to a protectron skeleton. It can be scaled down to about a foot or so and made into a toy companion for you.....if your interested. Here is a vid of Texas Teddy(s);

Thanks for the reply. :smile:

I have downloaded some 3d model from here.https://archive3d.net/?category=225&page=73

But I cant upload any image or any zip files here.

do you know how to upload images or zip files in this forum.

In my settings section i am only allowed to upload mods or images for games.

Is there a way to upload images or zip files not releted to games.

If you could make two toy companion from those model it would great,Dinky the dinosaur will be great too.

The should have some features like,

They dont need any questline or companion wheel.

they can be carried arrount in inventory

they wont fight enemies

you can give one of them an ability to block projectile damage for 5-10 seconds(not melee damage).

or looting items

or stunning enemies for 5 seconds

or make enemies friendly for 5-10 seconds

This abilities will have recharge times.dont make them overpowered.

Anyway this are my suggestion :laugh: i dont know how much you can do here but if can make a mode like this i think it will be very unique. :happy:

PS:Texas Teddy is bit a bit large. :laugh:

Re: files, you really have to use a cloud service, something like a personal netdrive (google drive, oneDrive, dropbox) or a public service like mediafire (and a multitude of others).

For pics, I'm not an expert, but I believe you have two general choices, one is a exterior service that allows direct links (so they appear in the post as pics and not a clickable link) or nexus itself.

For an exterior service I'v heard imgur is good, but requires a bit of work for a direct link. For nexus, any member can upload images. Once the image is uploaded right click on the published image and select open link in new tab. Use that address as a direct link in your posts.

 

PS:Texas Teddy is bit a bit large. :laugh:

He is any size you want, 1 foot tall if that's what you prefer. But the biggest advantage is he's already done and could be made for you right away. The other projects may take a long time (for me....much shorter for a more skilled and knowledgeable modder).

 

Let me get back to you on the models you linked too as there are various aspects to consider and it's a lengthy write up (which I don't have time for at the moment).

[ratkage]

can you use this(a toy soldier but does not have any command option)

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47241

 

and this (a fairy companion,maybe you can give her the radar hud ability instead of a machingun.)

 

Also you can use this images if you want

can you use this

You probably want to refer to my first post were I described the two problems with rigged models (converting the format, and finding a suitable skeleton).

 

The only model of the images you linked to, that might be possible (with the skeletons we have), would be the last one (the humanoid bot) with a protectron skeleton). However I don't know how much work it would be to convert the format or even if it's an open license to convert. Once it's in a nif format, I don't know how hard it would be to rig. So most likely it won't happen (because even one broken link in the chain is a no go for the whole project).

I'd suggest considering one of my previous suggestions like texas teddy or dinky, as I don't have a lot of time to sink into a single request (already have several I'm behind on).

 

As far as bloodironzero's (sorry forgot his nexus handle) stuff, I don't know if he released it or it was just a demo. I can't use his stuff without permission, perhaps you should research it and see if it's available.

You might find something you might like in this... you'll know it when you see it:

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/63350/

 

 

Then this isn't really a toy, but kind of works a little like you described:

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62508

 

Technically, I also still owe Jokerine another toy too... mabe i'll have to get back to it next time I have a free minute.

 

Still, funny coincidence that it almost seems like pretty much any mod that even remotely involves toys has something to do with her.

Go with dinky.
