RP anyone? GTA: Fallout

C

Cent

First time out of the vault
Hey there. I'mma introduce myself on this topic too. I'm Dusan, from Serbia, and I'm an experienced RPer on SAMP [San Andreas Multi Player]. It got me bored, lack of ideas etc.
Anyways, I'm posting a suggestion which some of you might like. To open up a Fallout RPing server on SAMP. I have loads of ideas, here's some from the text I wrote, for the general RP on the server from the Fallout game:

"The year is 2241. The world suffered a great nuclear war, that allmost whipped out all of man kind. An atomic spark that made people suffer grately. Everybody has one goal, to survive. Some people were left to rot outside, in the radiation, loosing their limbs, hair, deforming, mutating, barely walking... Whilst others settled in Vaults, which would shelter them from the radiation and the outside world, at leat it was thought so. The gates and doors of the Vaults now open and the humans are trying to re-build their great community from the past. On the other hand robbers, rapists, mob families, addicts, mutants and other various creatures who've been living in the post nuclear wolrd for a long time are still fighting for their own goals... "

I know, I'm new here but I'm playing Fallout 2 for the 3rd time atm, and I really like it. I wonder would it be cool to have a online internet, multiplayer community which could play the same thing, only in 3rd person, and create their own businesses, crews, organizations, cults... :)

I can't do these things by myself 'cus I can't get a forum, server, scripting... So if anybody wanna join in the developing, lemme kno' here or PM me[ask for my MSN if ya want it]. Would be fun to have it all worked out on that kind of a server :D

The server would be like as a part of NMA. I saw some RP topics and like that's text RP, and it would be way cooler to have it in game with those people. Much more fun.

Anyways, please post your oppinions/suggestions/complains on this suggestion.

Thanks for reading,
Cent.

Pipe dream alert.

Tough call again... General Fallout, RP, or Vats?
 
Basiacly the scripting part isn't too rough. Adding a few features on LVDM script.

Forums can be opened, freely, just checked that or.. added here. Atm, I'm talking to an owner of a RP server who's thinking of adding that "fallout" element to his server.

The ideas, suggestions are existant. Basiacly looking, things which are needed:
- scripter,
- forum,
- server.

I'm not sure if that dude wanna like, devote his server to the fallout RP. But really, with people who'd like to do this thing .. everything would go ok, IMO. I don't know the most of your message,
"pipe dream", "Vats" ?

Thanks 4 readin',
Cent.
 
Here's the problem and the thing and the whole of the thing, 100.

What Per is indicating is that you're being too vague and need-some-helpish about a project you apparently want us to to have something to do with vaguely...

What are you talking about anyway? What is "San Andreas Multi Player"? Link? Description? What do you expect people to do to help you? What're your plans? Solid ideas? How is this not just a "wouldn't it be cool if"-pipe dream?

Also, moved to General Fallout for lack of a better place.
 
Pipe Dream: Basically, all you have is an vague idea, with few of the skills required to make it a reality. You haven't given any indication that you have seriously planned this project out. You also need to recruit skilled people to achieve all of the technical aspects of the project, and your ability to lead that project is an unknown.

The Vats: A locked forum where we send useless posts, spam, flaming, and generally anything we don't want cluttering up the normal forums.

So there would be no graphical changes to San Andreas? Simply role-playing that it was post-apocalyptic? I'm also not sure if you would able to attract enough people to make it worthwhile.
 
Cool. Thanks for the info fellas. Well, just some stuff, to get info about SAMP. Here's a link for SAMP.
http://www.sa-mp.com/
And here's a link to the comunity I took part in before [Same nickname, was admin there, developer, got bored].
http://www.gtafrp.com

Well, to make up the requests and suggestions give by you, I'm going to most of the idea. Here you go:

There's a lot of people who are big fans of Fallout games. What I imagine to be very interesting and what could provide hours of enteratainment, is a multi playing Fallout. Since there's no such thing as one, the best multi playing game which could enable a Fallout genre is San Andreas Multi Player. Yes, we know that GTAIV will be out in October, but SAMP is unique.

The Fallout San Andreas Role Play (FSARP) might be a Role Play server of a post nucler war world. The role play is settled in the city of Las Venturas, which represents New Reno. Click Here for a pic of the settlement of LV and the Desert, in our post nuclear world, just a preview.

In FSARP you choose your own character. You can be a jet addict, tribesman, shaman, prostitute, bar owner, mobster, mafia, street hustler, robber, bandit, mutant, survivor, vault inhabitant, homeless bum, trapper, gecko, slave runner, slave, trader, brahmin, hunter, retard, rapist, drug dealer, porn star, president, soldier... You can create any kind of character you want that fits in the post nuclear world of New Reno.

FSARP is all about having fun in the role play of a radiated San Andreas. Los Santos and San Fierro are for now abbandoned because of a very dangerous radiation clowd above it. After a while of role playing in New Reno, we might open up the other places. They are free to explore and to have role plays in but, there aren't any car spawns, interiors or anything added by a script there.

To get more of a post nuclear world effect, the whole Las Venturas will probably get re-textured. Untill then, the minor re-textures can be done on cars, road, buildings.
This is the general info of the whole Fallout San Andreas Project. Thank you very much for reading.


Ok, well, I'm in talks with a certain server owner, who is interested in making a Fallout San Andreas RP. Basiacly, we're at 0-1 at the moment. What I wanna know is if ya'll people here would like to RP on that kind of a server, or even to take part in developing it. Anyways, thanks for the replies, and I would love to develop this idea with the correct people who would assist and later on RP on the server. We've got loads of ideas which would enhance RP.

So please lemme kno' if ya people would like to later on play on the server, and/or take part if you wish to help in developing it.

Thanks for reading,
Cent.

EDIT: Thanks for moving the topic to the correct forums. We'll be posting progress of our work here, in this topic.
 
So, we're gonna get prostitutes with Uzis doing a drive-by on a homeless dude with a Rocket Launcher?
 
That aint too dreamish compared to another project that wants to totally convert SA to C&C... I can't imagine how that is possible though.
 
LOL! That's a good one. Nah, we're currently developing the rules and such. So there'll be no roaming and DMing. The scripting will probably start soon, and since it isn't much of a difficult script, heck there might be a chance to do it fastly.

We've created a forum, if ya wanna peep out the progress or join in the project visit this page:

http://gtafallout.freeforums.org/

There all progress is posted. Unfortunatelly, I can't devote my time untill Tuesday 'cus I ain't got GTA SA on my PC. I'll be doing some part of the script work.

Thanks for reading,
Cent.
 
GTA: Fallout

Hey again. It's been more then a week or so of developing the GTA: Fallout game mode, server, forums. At the moment, the server is nearing the release, some minor fixes are left. The server is set to Role Play in the year 2241 after the nuclear wars.

You can join the forums, where all of the updates and progress are posted. I'll make another post here when the server releases soon.

You can also help out in the development (scripting, modding textures, giving ideas and suggestions...) just by making a post in the Development forum.

Thank you for reading,
Cent.

Congratz, man. Looks like one of the biggest stupidities I have ever seen. :P
 
Mind explaining a bit? Stupid? Troll? Just an explanation before going "wtf bad bad". Thanks.
 
Hehe I think its the mix of GTA and stuff ;)

Sounds pretty neat to me! The hardcore roleplaying thing might scare some regular GTA fans off though :)

Both thumbs up. Now get back to work


:!: 666 posts!
 
Thanks Monsharen. Tannhauser, I knew I've posted somewhere but forgot. Sorry. Mind deleting the old topic? :$
 
It's already taken care of, most likely...

Well, anyway, I once had an idea to do the same exact thing on San Andreas. The problem is, I had no copy of the game to work with, and no computer good enough to do it on... Here's to hoping you make it through such roadblocks. :)

Well, GTA: San Andreas was stupid, but I wish there was a way to create Fallout screenshots making it look like "new flashy DirectX101 Vista super mega" game with "fella' and gangsta'". Nothing for NMA, but it would attract more workers for real Fallout mods :)

EDIT: Looks like Fallout:Boom/BDA/FFF/whatever - no offence, just a personal insight of myself once being a part of a group of "developers" with no real plan.

EDIT2: It seems to me that players should be roleplaying themselves - by writing about actions they do - how do you intend to modify action game to something like turnbased relying on peoples good will, not backed up by any scripted rules? Sounds like leftist intellectuals never die out (read Hayek, he sixty years ago described what exactly will happen with GTA:Fallout ingame community).
 
Oh my.. I didn't realise. Thanks for the moding of the topic, I'll answer all of the info:

* GTA SA is an action game. In the single player, no Role Play, no turn based moves like in Fallout. SAMP is a mulitplayer modification which has certain RP game mods. In those game mods, players can use varios commands to express themselves, that is to RP in their character. The basic one is the /me command. Ex:
"I type in /me lights up his cigare." And the other players view this action as if
"Cent lights up his cigare."
In combact, people RP their moves with the /me or /e (event command). So, if someone just shows up, shoots, DM-es he/she gets punished for the act and explained how to RP a combat situation.

* Moding the world of San Andreas is taken care off and is in progress. It's basiacly modding textures which replace the original ones. So far the only thing done is the "water mod" which makes the clean and visible-trough water very dirrty and bad.

* The scripted rules cannot be implemented in GTA. The only thing to help out people who RP bad, is the will of other people to say that to them, explain a bit, help and move on.

* The main goal of the whole project is to have fun in a post nuclear San Andreas. We're working on the server script and on modding Las Venturas and the Desert to make it more "fallout" like. The server is meant for RPing so any DMing, cheating, flaming isn't welcome.

I hope that I've cleared out some things connected to GTA:F and GTA itself. Thanks for the oppinions and good wishes.
