Expanding the Wasteland (among other things)

[Torsten_not_LA]

First off: Hi everyone!

 

I'm currently working on different Locations to be added to the map and wonder:

If People keep adding interesting stuff to the wasteland, sooner or later with all the good addons

it'll feel pretty crowded.

Is it possible to ADD to the game map beyond that of the dc area?

 

Of course, there's the problem of the pipboy map that would need to be modified.

 

Also:

 

Can anybody give me some info how to add a radio station with its own mp3/wav soundfiles?

 

Thx

The more I think about it, the more I realize that when the DLC comes out for the new locations, we'll be able to emulate those techniques to make our own territories.

 

But as for now, just as how caves are "another zone", you could make a car, plane, or whatever, be the "door" to "another zone", and then create a massive map much like the vanilla one.

 

In theory, you may be able to do that repeatedly, making multiple cities.

It's actually very possible to do this. You would have to remove the borders from around the map (so you don't get the 'you can't go there, please turn back' message) and of course edit the in-game map to cover the new area. However, I'd recommend creating an entirely new worldspace with a custom map to handle this. Have it accessed through a metro tunnel and boom, you're done and no worries about conflicting with current content.

yep.. exaclty what im doing have created an entirely new worldspace and using that as a base for my Questmod...

 

its not that hard...took me a few hours to get it setup...

 

as for how to travel there.. only fast traveling is out as the location wont show up on the vanilla map.

 

but you can use any old location in the wasteland as a portal..

 

(just gave me an idea KHET.. how about a bus stop as a marker for other world transport network... click the seat and boom..hehe)
