Atomic Hand Grenade. (And other throwing weapon ideas)

First time out of the vault
Why the hell has nobody ever modded an Atomic Hand Grenade
into either of the fallout games?
Its like the weapon the embodies all that the fallout universe is!
It's Nuclear, its so utterly impractical that it's funny as hell, and yet it's entirely awesome!

The throwing skill could use some more weapons all around, too.
Some ideas off the top of my head:

Pipe Bomb

Smoke bomb

Tear Gas Grenade

Flash Bang Grenade

Kunai

Needle Grenade (For armor)

Bling Grenade (Diamond Encrusted grenade)

The Grenade Formerly Known as Prince (sprays purple acid)

Armagezzmo Knives (Little powered double chainsaw knives that dig deeper into the victim)
 
They all very fancy ideas. I am all for self made explosives and those in FOT.
But a-grenade? wouldn't it instantly kill everyone in town?
Maybe should be included in one of the item/weapon mod.

Nah, if it would work like in Syndicate Wars. :) That was so damn cool, when you threw one of these into a mob of running Cultists... :D

I like the idea of atomic grenade, but I'm affraid that Fallout weapons don't have a settable damage radius.
 
I think shurikens could be a witty idea. An old, rusty shurikens... But it could mean a "minor" troubles with completely new animations. :) (I think that Yakuza and some oriental triads was using that bizzare stuff)
 
Sorrow: Maybe one could get around that with some clever scripting?

Jesterka: The animation thing is why I chose Kunai.
You can still Ninja it up a bit that way, and still use the throwing knife animation.
 
lynceus, this is not the Tactics Modding forum, so if you don't mind, be silent.

Jesterka, I'm afraid Fallout is set in post-apocalyptic retrofuture California, not Japan. Shurikens? WTF?

Also, the idea of an "Atomic HAND Grenade" is inherently flawed. What makes you think you can throw it hard and far enough to escape the blast?

One can only overpower a thrown explosive that much...

Maybe that could be what balances it. You get an absurdly powerful weapon, but you and your party get caught in the edge of the blast.

Nope, not really. I already converted the weapon projectiles from FOT into FO2, so you can use the FOT shurieken aniomation if you want to. I think its already in the download section of nma.

Weapon projectiles are easy enough to make I think, they have a very small and simple animation set.

It regards to the blast you could probably make a small mushroom cloud animation and insert it into the data\art\misc folder along with the projectiles. Of course thats asumming that you can actually choose which exposion animation to use for a grenade.

Not sure if you could script radiation damage to the area, but it would be interesting if after the explosion it left a radio-active crater where ever you through it.

Anyway, making new grenade types should be easy enough.
 
Then use the plant spike animation that comes standard with FO2.

The thing with projectiles is that they are generally quite small and are only on the screen for a very short time. Besides FO2 is only 640x480 resolution so you can see too much detail when you combine all these facters.

What would be really cool is if someone made a katana and then done the attack animations for it, that way I could run around the wasteland with a sword ;)
 
Bowling Balls. There needs to be a ruined bowling ally where you can get throw-able balls.

Str req: 8

Bowling Ball to the head.
Take em out Fred Flinstone style.

I want to make a bowling ball chucking man-child.
A dude with Intelligence of 2 killing all these brilliant vault city folk
with the equipment from a game he's too stupid to comprehend.

Its downright poetic.
 
I've been working on making the bladed boomerang weapon that little kidd uses in The road warrior, Throwing really need some good weapons your right, but this is the only one that makes any senses.
