I play it

I didn't play it but I'd play it with the new version

I don't play it and I won't play it

[piupau]

If you're interested I just finished merging the Fallout mod with the Linux version of 40d15.

I'd download and play it, very interested.

[Deon]

Yeah please post your merge here .

zombies are harder than orc's.

Sorry it took me so long to get it up, I haven't checked the forums in a while. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1644

OK, the new version is soon to arrive (more or less) and while I get no feedback, it doesn't mean that nobody plays my mod.

What I want to know, is how many people are interested in Fallout Mod for the new version, with new castes (different creatures for single entity, especially useful for mutants) and custom workshops (real ammo- and guncrafting) and other fun stuff which should make the mod much more "total conversion"-like and closer to the Fallout/wasteland world.

Depending on the number of requests, I will consider should I make it ASAP or fully enjoy new version first . Thank you.

Shoulda been a option called, I played it but a virus and a reformat made me to sad to play this awesome mod again.

[Deon]

Yeah, computer maintance sometimes makes you sad. I hope you're ok and restored all your useful data.

I went for "I play it" though "I have played it long ago and will play again with the new version" would've been better.

Anyway, whatever wins, I think it's only fair that you experience the new version fully before delving into modding it. Also, I think everyone will be quite occupied with it for a good while and turn to mods only afterwards, so no need to hurry.


P.S. I hadn't even thought how much cooler mods can be with the new version (makes me wonder how much the underground can be customized). Thanks for enlightening me.

nope!
All my files that we're important we're on my desktop and my computer wouldn't start up so i couldn't back em up.

[Deon]

OK, I will start to brainstorm castes already .

Any suggestions are welcome!

Castes:

Wasteland Ghouls:
Ghoul - classical ghoul
Glowing one - radiated glowing ghoul
Bloated ghoul - rotting ghoul with various secretions
Ghoul shambler - rotting ghoul, slow and with poisonous secretions

Super mutants
supermutant brute - classical huge "hulk"
supermutant brain - weak but with a big head and supposed to take "noble" roles
master - a single ruler, made of various bodyparts combined together

I wonder how jobs-castes are handled. It would be cool to have stronger guards/fighters, faster scouts/hunters and weaker scientists/doctors.
If we are able to limit jobs to castes in the new version, it would make immigrants much more interesting. I.e. you'll get "guard" type brute people which are unable to craft electronics and stuff but are OK as woodcutters or warriors and "sissy" clever "eggheads" which are able to craft advanced stuff (like electronics for power armor or plasma rifle, yay new workshops!) but are unable to be hunters and definitely not-so-good when drafted.

Thnx Deon this mod is great and i would love to see a new update but only as long as you've had fun with it 2!

I would suggest changing the trap components from  "giant corkscrews" to something like "landmine" or "wired shotgun" or "beartrap" i think this wud be good flavour.

Again great mod!

I want to explain my vote of "I don't play it and won't play it".  I think the components of the mod are a wonderful contribution to the DF community.  I refused to play the original Fallout, however, and I won't play one in DF.  I have spoilered the details so as not to bore people.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For those of us who were impressionable young children during the Cuban missile crisis, Fallout is an altogether too frightening game.  Surviving in extreme conditions is not in itself very frightening when it is a voluntary choice, nor are dragons and ogres very terrible because they don't really exist.  The thought of civilization reduced to gangs living in rubble is, however, too very much like what I and the adults in my life feared would happen back then.  Fears instilled in childhood are hard to overcome, and I am not convinced as an adult that we could not still end up there.  Contemplation of that kind of world as entertainment is not my idea of fun.  However, playing a game on the ruins of someone else's civilization is okay with me because we all live in those conditions in one way or another, thus I consider the components of this mod to be highly re-usable.

[Deon]

Yeah I understand that, and I have a good friend who likes most shooters and war games but does not like post-apocalyptic world for its despair and desolate atmosphere. To each his own .

I enjoy the dead and vigilant world, but in the same way as I enjoy a horror film or a fantasy book.

[rickvoid]

I never got around to playing this, but the new version of the game promises many things that will translate well in the Fallout mod. I will definently play a new version of this built in the upcoming DF release.

Hell, I might download the current version for kicks.

I voted " I play it"
And i want to add "I love it and appreciated it a lot" !!!
