Greetings. Wanna know if the project is still alive

Before posting in a thread, please read the date of the most recent post. If it is more than 6 months old, you should consider the topic dead.

 

To answer your question, after 7 years anyone can be declared legally dead.

Yep, just started modding again. I could use some help though. Even if you don't have direct modding skills you could help me with ideas, as a sounding board and with playtesting, if your available.

I think the next thing I'd like to do is work on some simple dialogue and scripting to add some packages, so the player has control of the securuitrons (initially simple stuff like team mate following etc, so you have a escort in new vegas), primarily for the independent and quasi independent/NCR friendly branches.

Don't forget about the 7 year itch thing ... Also looks like 7000 post count may be a factor here too ?

Wow lots of pages for this thread ... pardon me if I can't find the time to read them in order to absorb it all. But a quick question first ... in order to play this mod , the player would of had to of played the vanilla to the end ?

Which leaves me at a disadvantage , having never played NV much past the beginning.

I pretty much only got this game for modding , although I imagine one day I'll give it a run through.

 

So anyways I couldn't be much help in story/dialogue decisions that make sense based on extending the vanilla story. But wondering if adding in game play features that would help extend play value would be something your interested in. Because 2 mod idea's I have been working on I think may help that and fit in nicely ?

 

The present one I am working on utilizes umatts drivable creature cars , to drive around in convoys and set up market place structures , but he also has military vehicles in it , which could then set up military bases with the same concept.

 

So then that kind of plays into my previous Idea I was trying to do ( but was in Fo3)

Which applied to your mod idea , would be like a game within a game.

An RTS resource gathering ,base building,unit production,arena boundary ... skirmishes that happen here and there along your story line. If that makes any sense hopefully ???

well, i am a comic artist, so my ideas could be argumental. In fact, I was thinking about a quest to make Joshua Graham the new Caesar (maybe during or after "deposing" the actual Caesar, and later, after the vainilla ending, a quest to form an alliance between NV, the NCR and a reformed Caesar legion

Whaaa ?!!! Oh lordy ,,, Not another Joseph Smith character ? (mormon thing)

 

Which I have to confess another reason I got NV was to go kill me some mormons through the Honest Hearts DLC . Since I am a born and raised mormon , turned Jack then plain ole Anti mormon once I finally decided to do some research in my 30's .

 

Anyways sorry to overshadow the mod Idea with it , but I would be interested in helping to add to that story angle .... albeit ya'll might not like my input on it ??? But rest assured I can dial it back at this juncture of my life for how much disdain comes through :whistling:

Well I think we want to be true to honest hearts story and a big part of that is Joshua's personal tale (of redemption?). He's "evolved" and is radically different from his former life of Malpais Legate. A quote from the wiki "Abandoned by Caesar and his people, the fallen Legate was forced to reflect on his life and face the monster that he became." At one time his brutality was legendary, but in honest hearts we see him transformed, striving to protect the innocents of Zion. I don't think Joshua will ever return to the legion as Caesar, or in any other capacity.....I think he would die first.

 

In addition there is generations of bad blood between the NCR and Legion, fathers and sons that spilt blood and lost loved ones in a conflict that has lasted 20 or 30 years. And this isn't a war of honor, the legion has used the most grievous or horrendous tactics to break the NCR's spirit, so I don't think many NCR citizens are willing to let bygones be bygones. I suspect the only way the NCR and the Legion would ever ally is if there was a threat so great that the human race hung in the balance.....and then only for the duration of the threat. If you have them alley you loose a big part of what makes the Mojave's game lore, and thus the richness of the fallout world, IMHO.

 

And considering the fanatical devotion of the legion to it's ideals, I think a reformed legion would be a very difficult sell....especially to have it evolve and still resemble something similar to what it is currently.

Yeah, you really do, because it hinges on a change in the power dynamics in new vegas and the wider mojave, and that doesn't happen until the player can acquire the securitron army.

Which leaves me at a disadvantage , having never played NV much past the beginning.

I pretty much only got this game for modding , although I imagine one day I'll give it a run through.

 

The present one I am working on utilizes umatts drivable creature cars , to drive around in convoys and set up market place structures , but he also has military vehicles in it , which could then set up military bases with the same concept.

I do like that idea, although I don't know the specifics of umatts drivable creature cars. Is this primarily for the player to drive about to point a to point b, or is this for the player to stumble across a caravan or encampment?

 

I do have some little brahmin/bighorner wagons setup for local character and flavor...just to spice up NV's market place;

But these are rigged, not using script like umatts probably does, and were planned primaritly for inside of NV's walls proper (although that could be easily changed to a traveling caravan) Though I do have a bit of experience in the rideable mounts scripting (although it's probably different from umatts to a lesser or greater degree), since I ported Illyisms rideable creatures to NV (although that doesn't imply I have a deep understanding of the script).

 

I guess what I'm most curious about, is if your convoy's are encounters the player comes across as s/he/it is traveling or an adventure/quest the player actively controls and participates in directly.....or both?

Yes, I could see where RTS and resource management could come in during warfare and there are plenty of opportunities for warfare when you look at the power dynamics of the region (Securitron army, legion, NCR etc).

 

Which I have to confess another reason I got NV was to go kill me some mormons through the Honest Hearts DLC . Since I am a born and raised mormon , turned Jack then plain ole Anti mormon once I finally decided to do some research in my 30's .

 

Ouch, yeah that would be rough, I'd probably feel similar if it happened to me.

Sorry, run that by me again. Do you mean a option to wipe out the mormons in HH or ?? What is the angle your referring to?
