Kargan3033 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well StEliseth I'm doing fine, just planing on a small mod to start with and work it up into a major mod, I have not started yet, just looking the site over and making new friends and getting some advice on FO/NV mod making, thanks for the warm welcome my friend.

devinpatterson Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Basicly I was thinking of having the player as a member of a small village in the wasteland and he has to go and find weapons, meds and suff to help save the village from being wiped out my ghouls, super mutants, slavers, raiders and the like. So what would I have to do to make this mod and how hard will it be? It's a really open ended question, without more detail. But I can make a suggestion. Copy, copy, copy. Copy liberally from the vanilla assets. For example it can take hours (or days) to make a single vault level starting from scratch, especially if your messing around with lighting issues, ambient sounds, dust fx, etc etc. All the little touches that really make a cell look polished. Or you can copy an interior cell and make a few additions/changes and be good to go in 15 minutes. So if you can copy an existing village and drop (f) it somewhere in the wasteland.....save yourself some time. Same with NPC's. Copy liberally, but make sure to change their packages to reflect their new locations. Otherwise they may run off to whatever local was the original's home stomping grounds. On the dialog make sure you set the condition for the specific npc issuing the quest. You don't want everyone the player runs into throwing that dialog out. Don't hesitate to ask for help with scripts, since you'll be making a quest script that will be tallying items brought back. Once you actually get into the geck and start putting things together the community can help with more specific issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
