[MOD] Item descriptions

[Tagaziel]

Version 1.0 is finished!

Included are descriptions for weapons, armours and miscellaneous items. Please report any grammatical errors/post your descriptions for inclusion if you think they are better.

Oddly, it seems it doesn't need any entry in ArchiveInvalidation.txt to work.

Should be available from NMA shortly!

It's a work-around, but it works.

What font does the PIP-Boy 3000 use?

 

[Pope Viper]

Cool! I like it!

 

[oihrebwe]

wow cool

 

[Pope Viper]

You edited the image with text or is this real text?

 

[Tagaziel]

Image with text. We don't have access to the text yet (I think).

 

[Eternal]

Great work! Its a little hard to read but considering the lack of tools it is quite amazing.

I wonder if it will ever be possible to institute object descriptions for things you are looking at IN game rather than just in your inventory. (I.E. The grating appears to be covered in filth and rust, you can vaguely hear the scratching of metal eminating from deep within the sewer bowels.)

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

mikael, absolutely brilliant. thank you!

 

[Tagaziel]

Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

Figured out a template, should go fast now.

 

[Tycn]

Great stuff Mikael, I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Paul_cz]

This is incredible! Hate that Beth did not make it in the first place, idiots. At least their games are so moddable and there are people like you!

 

[Bewitched]

Since you've been diing this I would like to ask you where one can find characteristics for each item? Fallou3.esm? Maybe some specific advises?

 

[Roflcore]

Since you are using the pictures to edit the text, wont that mean we need to have the exact same hudcolor?!

 

[Alphadrop]

Since you are using the pictures to edit the text, wont that mean we need to have the exact same hudcolor?!

Nope, all the hud icons and such are just black and white so can be used with any hud colour, the colour is just layered on over the top.

Also this mod = awesomness!

 

[Tagaziel]

Finished modding in armor descriptions.

Tell me what you think:

Installation is as follows:

Extract it to <Fallout>\Data\Textures\Interface\icons\pipboyimages

 

[Oddball_E8]

wow! this is just an amazing little work-around youve figured out here...

i agree with previous posters that this should have been done by beth in the first place, but then again, beth is of the firm belief that "pictures speak louder than words, so we dont need words"

wich is an idiotic filosofy anyway...
