harley mod!

C

cremo

First time out of the vault
it would be cool if there was some mod that replaces the chrysalis with a nice '50 harley, i tried looking around but i ve only seen some paint job for the existing car, a vertibird mod and stuff...
can t anyone do it :P? i am no programmer but i would like to be a biker next time i play!
 
How about and old Idian motor bike, now that would have the fifties feel to it. The only problem is that where would all the other people sit. Besides it jsut an issue of making hte new art work, other than that it should be straight forward

Uh...I fail to see how it wouldn't, if it were the right style. One of today's rice rockets would be quite out of the question.

A greaser's bike would also be perfect for the setting, given the style of the Skullz in Junktown. Alternatively, an older Harley style wouldn't be amiss. From a Knucklehead to a Shovelhead, and there are enough pics of these to make a 3d model to sample from, if you want to go that route.

On the topic of classics and style, plus noteworthy presence in the past, Indian would fit in perfectly.
 
This is a 1947 Indian Chief

And this is a 1948 Chief.

I will try and contact the above images author to see if he will render an image in the Fallout perspective and at the right resolution. From there it would be easy enough to convert into a FRM format image.

*EDIT*
Also if you look at the ferrari mod it seems to be "towing" a tralier to carry the equipment. We could do this with the Indian or just dont worry about the realism and let it carry heaps of stuff and a group of people. I think it would be good to edit "the car" so it can carry less inventory and only one passenger.

So the mod would let the player onyl have one joinable NPC as the biker is a bit of a loner perhaps.

yup an old style harley would be coool
but please not a tour one
i would love to see a panhead!

anyway i think that fo with bikers would rock!
i think that a biker gang it s really post apoc looking (in mad max it was full of bikers!)

it s ok that you can carry only another npc (and a real biker only carrys blonde girls :P) for teh carrying of stuff please no trunks or stuff, just put some lateral bags on the bike (ok reduce the quantity of stuff you can carry)
 
the bike near the sidecar is nice but i don t like the sidecar idea much..
i mean i was planning to be a bad ass mad raider (and you donn t see them going with sidecars in mad max:P )

how about not restricting npcs and such?
i mean imho is "wasted work", if someone is a lame guy he just uses it wth 6 npcs..
personally i ll just roam alone!
(or someone could just immagine that other guys have a bike...)

*wonderis about vic, the choosen one and cassidy roaming around in shiny softails*
 
Wasn't there at least one bike with sidecar in both MM1 & 2?

Anyway if someone was to be really clever they'd do two peices of art, one solo bike and one pack of bikes. But I don't know if it be possible to code it to swap art depending on how many in your party?
 
I was thinking the same thing.

There must be a script that calls the proto/art work up for the car, so in theory there should be able to put a check in the script to see hwo many player there are.

Also didnt the Germans have a side car with a machine gun mounted on it in WW2?

One of my friends is a real bike but and has load of model bikes including a few old Harleys and an Indian. I could try and take a photo with a digital camera and re colour it.

Unless of course some on has a picture I could use

Yes, it can be done, you can check in script how many party members there are and create corresponding bike for every npc.
 
that would be AWESOME!!!
i just immagine my whole gang coming into town and busting up everything muahahahhha

i bet someone would make a "biker gang mod" if someone releases an harley mod!!!

you talking about a photo or a computer graphic thinghie?
and it must be from fallout perspective right?
 
Basically yeah, a photo of a bike in or as close to the fallout perspective against preferably a neutral background.

Alternatively if you know someone with 3d modelling skills get them to make some bike models and produce some renders in the correct perspective.

There's some harley models here I don't no how far off the preview images are from the Fallout perspective but perhaps someone can work some magic with them?

If you flipped this indian motorcycle horizontally wouldn't it be close?
 
OK, here's a qucik moc up of what it could look like. I had to reduce the image size to 40% of the original and clean up hte edges, so its not perfect.

The image needs to be rendered with Anti-alaising turned off to get the nice sharp edges, also transparent GIFs normaly have clean edges.
 
puttint more than one bike in wouldn't be hard
you just need to edit every map script to swap the car out for one or more bikes depending on the number of npc's the player has..

the difficult part would be having each bike have it's own inventory, and fuel levels.. i don't think the last is even possible, so you'd have to come to the concusion that the others took care of fueling their own bikes..
then you'd have to have one bike that the player has to use to exit the map...
