New Mod: Project 1: 'Home Sweet Home'

creator

First time out of the vault
Hello everyone ! (!!Alert!!Allert!! your about to read a long post with content belonging to a madman wich has wandered for far too long in the wasteland, drank too much Gamma Gulp Beer wich made me glow, sniffed too much healing powder )

I got spare time on my hands ... wondered if i could add something to the community.
Brainstormed a little and came op with some ideas though im really open to suggestion and commentary, especially since im new to the whole modding thing...

Nuff said I'll have to put in work but i am willing too. cus i just love the Fallout series:

I found the waterchip, got some old battlescars from a certain trial in a temple, helped Sullik & Grampybone find sis, been a respected gang member, got scanned & went into priesthood while wearing a scuffed purple robe wich for some kind of reason reflects lightbringers and lead.

Found dogmeat some friends, ranging from mechanical pooches, ghouls,humans,robots,deathclaws up to a minigun berSerk wielding super mutant (too great regret of my traveling party) eventhough Cassidy cuts me slack ever since i gave em those pills helping him with those nasty heart problems.

last week finally got clean.. after years of having a serious drug problem some guy made a cure...

Worked as a sherif- broke speed limits with my car hitting a poor old ghoul -been a gang member - traded slaves-freed slaves, Am currently holding the heavyweight champion belt- showed my southpaw style up in San-Fran.
Got married- got divorced....the hard way ( guess she diddnt like my dermal implants...)

Ohwel the list keeps going on & on.
---------------------------------------------------
Having seen what modders did for the Fallout legacy, making the wasteland bigger and better.. I mean I really enjoyed it and i just cannot sit back relax and not do nothing while I have the chance too keep Fallout alive and kicking.

Project 1 ideas :

- More random incounters (the people in it & the encounters itself)

- More charachter differences (willing to make frame for frame new chars for in special encounters.

- Home sweet home: being able to find your own cousy home up in the wasteland to hang out in alone or with a your small army & has all the comforts of a true home... storage places for weapons-ammo-nukacola-plasmagrenades.. you know the drill.
Also it features all kinds of very cool options (Read on !)

- Garage function , a place to store car. mayby even enhancing the car itself.. (sounds hard...)

- Dojo function- set up fights (competition fights ,shooting range (on live critters), -strange old man from SanFran wich can teach you s thing or two with that new sword you got.

-Drifters -visitors wich could become permenent house warmers depending on your karma level and ?mayby perform certain quests to persuade.convincing them in staying? having their own space : something in the likes of this :
-high lvl karma = doctor wich could heal you & party in his own room wich housed autodoc. (mayby wich has been retrieved in on of his persuade quest wich involved you getting the thing back - from his old working place... (of course it wouldnt be fallout if there wasn't some kind of plot in wich a silk tong, knuckle cracking or blazing guns would be involved)

-Caravan merchant boss- A caravon heard of your good reputation of being a reliable guard - he approaches you & mayby by doing convincing quest (hitting up rival merchant- run an certain amount of caravon missions ) after you convinced him you have the option to let him stay permanent in your base cause he needs to relocate and sets up his buisness.

-A mechanic/handyguy/locksmit/weaponsmit/ whatever/ wich could mess with your weapons (thinking of the poor guy trapped in the basement with a Howitzer in the gunshop in NewReno.. hell . mayby even find a way to get him relocated to a place where he gets all the love & carring he needs .. wich happens to be your house, involving some hard quests wich balances the fact you getting those upgrades for free,
or deliver him the certain parts.

-lowlvl karma And/or specific titels/ Reputation
Wanderer
1.2 Positive Karma
1.2.1 Defender
1.2.2 Shield of Hope
1.2.3 Guardian of the Wastes
1.2.4 Savior of the Damned

1.3 Negative Karma
1.3.1 Betrayer
1.3.2 Sword of Despair
1.3.3 Scourge of the Wastes
1.3.4 Demon Spawn

Gigolo, Made Man, Slaver ect.
Visitors matching bad karma or status.

My english is not that great so i will try to sum it up again:

Depending on Karma/reputation/status having visitors to your private house/area/base whatever. of wich some can stay permenent after fullfilling (hard) persuade quests.

Permanent stayers are uniq NPC who will offer some kind of service as mentioned above.
These services work as scripted events that you can choose while conversating.

-A caravan merchant boss wich lets you do the caravan runs from your house to certain locations this could be done for fun(killing) for profit(gathering items)-or to act as a one way ticket to a certain location.

-Handyman, think of the guy in the basement who could fix/modify weapons for you... after persuade quests you can relocate him or have this type of char in the house (mayby even having him do stuff your your car)

-Doctor, after persuade quests he sets up autodoc/shelves containing interesting looking thingies, desk ect ect. so you and your crew can get those crippled limbs healed and bullets removed from your body, make drugs ect.
-Shaman, same as docter but for low karma or something wich after persuade quests he sets up his big boiling pot, grinds his xander root & broc flower, makes drugs, heals broken limbs.. he used to nature so he sets it up in the backyard...
using new made graphics made by 'Azrael-Arkangel' monk character.

-Warrior, after persuade quests he feels like your not a grasshopper anymore...your now worthy enough to handle the Newly made wakazashi by 'Josan12'.
Teach you a couple of things, makes smartass comments fortune cookie style, can arrange duell fights with or without sword...
no one leaves alive ... SEPUKKU !!

-Dojo:
-Brawler, sets up Newreno boxing fights.
-Martial artist, sets up San Fran fights.
-Melee Weapon fights, speaks for itself ... fight eachaother with crowbars- ironknuckles-clubs-hammers-wrenches-shivs whatever makes you happy.

-Gangster- after persuade quests / depending on wich made man youve become, you get some goons in the place to set up all kinds of dirty missions.
Giving you the option to have gangfights/turfwars. (set up like a boxing match but now its you and the gang fighting other gangs)
Mayby some other kind of random missions-- collecting money- assasination- ect ect . after you picked one its all being set up in random enctounter style so chars in the world dont have to be added or modified . this keeps it easier / and makes it- click&play- quick & fun.

-Slaver, mayby making being a slaver a worthwhile thing in F2... triggering those coldhearted slaveruns at a slave char at your house.
For a price,get a couple of cages filled with some slaves to do slave things to,using them on your personal target range.
prostitutes in house.
Set up fights with those Rangers who kill slavers on sight..
ect ect.

-Shooting range, having a space to shoot on targets... i guess they have to be alive .. ranging from animal critters to humans.
Or by first choosing what enemie you want your being put in random encounter style with those enemies you can hunt.
This waste of life all to keep your trigger finger smooth..
Mayby has some unique weapons... thinking of "Mr.Wolnaa" who made some amazing cool new weapons with unique firing modes, wich i have not seen implemented yet.
(for the Brutal Slayers out there... small children could also be chosen as a target...Muahahah (evillaugh)


Ohwel by now i hope you caught my drift ...
It all boils down to having some kind of big place ... warehouse/army type base or at least an area to put this all in to call your home.

I dont know exactly how this could be made, i really hope people can give advice on how to do things, what to start with - some tricks in the book - for this rookie modder.
Or help with the ideas, making it better.

I'm reading the tutorials online right now , but its alwyas nice to have people actually help you reallife in what shape or form that may be.

Thanx for reading this Huge post, I really appriciate any comments given. (oyeah btw i wanna keep this in line with Killaps work if possible and also for MIB88 if he would like too use it ... I mean I know its not being mentioned in any fallout lore but hey I mean its not more than logical to have a place to rest, gain strength , share some quality time with friends.

Please give comments on the general idea, what could be better or different , some ideas on what type of housing it should be .

Bye ! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Greetings from Holland (you know Amsterdam right)

(im mentioning certain people in this post concerning their work, im not suggestioning im gonna use their work without asking them, i will only use work with peoples blessing.
But i just gave it a thought and realized it would be a pretty cool way to implement some of the content thats out there)
 
I just got a Great PM,

I will follow the advice given , i will begin small , create little content & show it to you guys proving im for real.
and really mean buisness with this project.

(any comments or advice is still highly apriciated though !)
bye.
 
Yesh, some good ideas indeed.

A question i always like to ask myself is: which mod could this work be incorporated into? MIB88 is always looking for new content for the Megamod. Killap's RP generally only includes work intended by BIS, but likes new graphics. It could be mod of its own ....
 
idea !

ooooooooooooooaw yeah ! I would really like this "fortress mod" ! :lol: with some thoughts: it could be first a random encounter (with a chance of occurring of 90% ) of an old man (60 years old maybe ) that suggest that you seat head (marry , get a job , a house , family , routines, etc) and he says that he just casually owns a little builders guild or something like that(he even gives you a budget for a small hut) , and at the end of the dialogue , he gives you a flare gun , or a Rocket (firework) to indicate your position in the world map (after the encounter you continue in the world map and you can then go anywhere in the map (except cities or other occupied locations) , and push a button in the console to enter to(into?) a small square in the desert (like 30x30 meters or hexes) and launch the flare). the old man appears after you wait for like 1 hour , he asks you for the money , and then some people and trucks begin to arrive and start "working" , you may wait some hours until the hut is done (the hut first is small , like 10x10 - 15x15 ( the tent in Redding is 7x6 hexes ) ) or go to the exit grid , then the world map and you'll see that you are in a green location circle named "house" . If you return (after, lets say 5 hours - 10 hours) , the house will be finished ,u go talk to the old man that is standing in front of the house door , he says some things, and that he and the guild is localized in x city town (s) so you can go and request some upgrades.then he leaves and tadaaa ! your own (little but promising ) home ! :newevil:
 
I hate to say it, but if you're talking about the mod idea in the post above, I wouldn't count on anything ever being done with that one. That individual only made 2 posts 7 and 1/2 years ago, when they first posted their idea, and were never heard from again. Most likely, the whole thing only got as far as the original post about the idea to begin with. It would really surprise me if it did otherwise.
 
yeah i saw the date, but hey maybe someone interested could take some of the ideas here gathered and actually do something .
