Anyone Interested in Making a Fallout 3 Mod?
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:42:09 pm »

I was just in a thread about how Fallout 3 doesn't have any truly decent mods, and I figured us B12ers should fix that. If you own Fallout 3 and don't have the GECK downloaded, do yourself a favor, DOWNLOAD IT. Even for the sole purpose of making funny shit happen.

So back on topic, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in creating a Fallout 3 Mod with me. It doesn't have to be anything super ambitious, just something fun with fair replay value. If anyone who reads this is interested in a Fallout 3 Mod Project, please PM me. You don't have to be a programmer or artist, just someone willing to dedicate a few hours a week on breathing life back into an epic game.

What I would personally be able to bring to the project is:
Mapping, Research, Motivation, Ideas, Code Monkeying, Horrible Organizational Skills

The most important thing to get this off the ground right now is someone who is active on the forums, is a good poster, and fairly organized. Which I lack the latter of. If I continue to be the lead organizer the project will be dead in 3 days time.

Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed a typo in the title. Sorry it was really really late when I posted.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Thats pretty good. The biggest thing I did was make a small custom vault.

I wish I had some MS Points and Fallout 3 for PC.
I'd really love someone to mod Fallout 3 into a Modern Version of Fallout 1/2.

I am keeping the bar set low for now, usually its from that that great projects emerge. What skills do you guys have for this sort of thing?

All I did was change the projectile to frag_grenade, and the ammo to grenade_list.

I got a strange bug though. If you used the Rock-et Laucher, you could put junk in that, which would transfer to the grenade launcher if you switched, letting you turn half a dozen pool balls and a empty whiskey bottle into seven frag grenades.

Maybe you just put gun powder into the pool balls and made the Whiskey Bottle into a Molotov Cocktail.
Hey, Squeegy or Jonathan S. Fox might help, you can find squeegy in the Other Section. Fox in CUrses.

Thats an odd error... I am sure that there is some way to fix it though, maybe actually making a new weapon entry? Try screwing around with it some more, you can be the Lead Weapons Developer if you want. I think we should try to keep the development team to a size of 3-5 people, any more than that and wires start getting crossed.

Lead Weapons Developer
:o

Awesome, yes.
I also modded a load of alternate laser/plasma guns, stuff like a laser-assault-rifle, or the  plasma-shotgun.

Thats awesome. Phantom is now the Lead Story Director/Head Voice Actor. I think that I can handle managing a project of 3 people, do you guys use IRC? Why don't you want to voice act Phantom?

I just refuse to voice act, besides, its not really important, and may I please do dialog writing and story writing instead?

Dialog for the unimportant, for example:
Random Cheracter, lets say GDI Soldier. In a Combat Situation.
MEDIC!- When Hit
PINEAPPLE ON THE GROUND!- Grenades
What the hell? I've got other things to do.- When spoken to.
Holy. Motherfucking. SHit.- Deathclaw attack.

Volunteering for dialogue/story, just because I can.
