FishNeedles Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 This must have been mentioned at some point, but has anyone attempted to add new gambling games into new vegas? I never play in the casinos since I don't really enjoy roulette and blackjack. I do really like caravan, so I play that quite a bit with people who actually bet more than 50 caps. Anyway, are there plans for anything like this? I can't imagine this being a light undertaking. Just adding something like Texas hold 'em, or other card games, would be awesome.

TheDrunkenSoviet Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The amount of scripting and animations that would take would be unbelievable ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribbleshnibit8 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Animations wouldn't be the issue. The issue would be finding a way to even do it. Since we don't have access to the engine code, it would have to all be done in a plugin. Since plugins can't do things like add new menu modes, we'd have to attempt to find a way to hijack one of the existing menus, probably for a game of some sort. Then you'd have to figure out how to get your own models in. It is possible to add new models to a type of game, such as new blackjack tables, but adding a new type of game table I'm not sure. Then you'd have to define the rules, which again would all have to be done via mod script and not game engine. So now you're having to apply your new rules for say, texas hold'em over top of the game attempting to have you play blackjack. It would almost certainly require quite a few new NVSE functions, someone who knows how to write new menu .xml files, someone very good at scripting....the list goes on for what you'd need. You might have maybe been able to get people together to do this back a year and a half or so ago when this game was still big, but now....not gonna happen. It would have been cool if we'd gotten poker, but we didn't. Maybe in Fallout 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTIYT1 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 If my memory is correct, didn't one of those big casino mods make a craps table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senterpat Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I was just lpoking for this. I believe it was NVR, but I can't find any mention of it on the page now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
