Request for FRM's - Trains for FO2

A

First time out of the vault
Hey guys

Just calling out to see if anyone could do me this favour? I'm looking to get some trains to match up with the FO2 scenery. The train tracks are in there, but theres no carriages or cabs to put in there!

Even a few FOT train FRM's converted over [not my speciality] but it would be greatly appreciated, if someone could also crate derailed carriages, derailed and smashed up cabs, etc. I know it wouldn't be too hard, its just I have no graphical abilities. I'm making a pretty good map at the moment, and I would love to actually add some trains etc.

Thanks very much in advance guys

Cheers :D
 
I don't see any FOT train sprites. If there is trains in scenery its probably tiles, and they don't convert easily (if at all) to FO2. Also, even if there was FO2 train sprites, they'd be at a different angle such that they wouldn't line up with train tracks on your map.
 
True. I wasn't sure wether the trains were scenery or tiles. Bugger. Oh well...anyone able to mix some new ones up? :D
 
I want an FRM of a caravan cart ... the half car thing ... like the ones that are scenery in FO ... but a side view ... same angle as the brahmin sprite from FoT. This way I could edit the frames of the brahmin critter, paste in the caravan cart and ... it becomes a moving caravan cart that drives past you on a map.
 
Hey nice ideas on both! I hope someone will be able to do these... :P

A piano would be fantastic for bars [Redding ambient sounds, theres a piano...Redding or Reno, cant remember]. And moving Brahmin carts would be nice tosee as well. I'm trying to think of others...

Someone could take some of the hummer frames (that match the brahmin direction) and chop off the front, adding the harness etc and and it to the brahmin frames and turn that into a frm. If they were clever that is.
 
Just something I was rolling around in my mind today. What about Giant Mutated Spiders? Something I thought the game missed out on. Would be pretty easy to create script wise, poison damage, tough against HTH but not so tough against bullets.

What do you guys think? If you like it, I might try my [not so] artistic hand at it.

Sounds rather sensible. Anybody wanna give it a try?

Spiders would be cool, and snakes too, but it's not very easy to make the animations. It would be very difficult to draw each frame individually, so you need to use a 3D tool like 3DSMax. I wonder though, there are models of both giant snakes and spiders for other games (NWN for example), maybe those models can be converted into FRM sprites?

This model viewer allows you to spin the model around, look at it from any angle, and zoom in or out. I wonder if screen shots could be done while viewing the model, which could become FRM frames. Even better would be to load the model files into 3DSMax and use that tool to make the sprites.

There are quite a few models in NWN that would be good for fallout if we could figure out how to convert them. And there are a bunch more in the CEP (community expansion pack).
 
Nice ideas dude! Glad you like the spider idea too. I was thinking of stealing Baldurs Gate [Icewind Dale?] spiders, but NWN could work too. Or if someones REAL handy, they could try creating from scratch? :P

As for the caravan cart, I might try reinstalling FOT and chopping a hummer up... :)
 
Do you know how to extract sprites from BG and other infinity engine games? I tried to find info on this a while ago and didn't find anything.
 
I've used one program called Infinity Explorer with which you can view graphics from installed IE games and another called WinBIFF to extract the files. Possibly WinBIFF is not needed if you only want to extract graphics (I used it to pinch voice samples for use in music, and the Explorer doesn't do sound).
 
I'd like to use both and extract the Spiders attack sounds etc. And I'm pretty sure I've used WinBIFF before, and it worked. I've also got Dragon Unpacker which extracts from 50,000 [exageration] different file types for a huge amount of games. Now I need my BG2 CD's to work, which last time, they didn't. Bugger.

I'll give it a go today sometime anyway.

Cheers for the info Per!
 
Okay this one is for wild_qwerty ... you have to check this out ... download this NWN model viewer and run it ... click on the spider.

http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/viewer.html

You can play its attacks, and you can spin the spider around to any rotation. There must be a way to make these models into sprites!

Any ideas how qwerty?
 
um...,wouldn't there be legal probs if sprites were made out of nwn creatures and then imported to fallout?
 
Its technically illegal to do any of this stuff. Okay don't grab the official ones, there's a mountain of NWN content here:

http://nwvault.ign.com

NWN stuff is flying all over the internet, much of it is fan made, and we're doing this for fun not profit. Is moving stuff from FOT into FO2 legal? Is making a mod for FO2 legal. Technically, no.
 
Don't get me wrong,i wasn't trying to be a wise guy or anything dude.Just because many mod projects were forced to stop for those reasons i thought to post it.As for the fanmade models that's ok i guess :D

Trains can be taken from fallot tactics but also must be taken train tracks because both games have different angle (put all parts together on some graphics program and then made from them scenery, flat for tracks) i do this already on black steel mod and look ok
