[WIPz] Abandoned Watchtowers

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:01 pm

***UPDATE***

Moved to RELz http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1142096-relz-badmagic-watchtowers/.

*END*UPDATE*


Putting together a small "home" mod for myself that's not really a home, more small abandoned watchtowers and one outpost building where there is a mattress/bed and minimal safe storage with maybe a little bit of story thrown in later with holotapes. No godguns, no +9000 health stims, no mags, no books etc none of that, not absurdly clean either, used, lived in and abandoned to the elements.

Was thinking of releasing the first stage as it's slowly coming to completion which is relatively close to the starting area but figured I should ask, keeping in mind this is more minimalist, what functionality would people demand from it?

I won't be including workbenches etc but I can include a camp fire for some crafting. Likewise with storage, I don't need a billion different containers, the outpost has a few ammo boxes labelled "Ammo Box [S]", the "[S]" indicating "Safe Storage".

Happy to include a water source as in a pump but don't think making it clean water is justifiable so probably tainted with rads, not heavy, just a little bit.

Oh, before I forget, use a custom lighting which is more or less the same as fellout so each outpost does have some standard lanterns and also a generator for some additional electric lighting, probably not needed on vanilla but you can leave the generator off.

Anyway, the first ones more or less as below currently.

I take it from the lack of response I should simply create these locations to my own standards and if people want to use it they can?

I like!

Definitely add a working radio, a water source, the generator and extra optional lights.
Throw in a set of binoculars up there too.
And for the bed just use a well-rested bedroll

Above all I'm a proponent of this, make what you want for you. Mod charity is great and all, but thats how people burn out.

That said I think it looks pretty good, I personally wouldn't have the labeled containers, since it's assumed they would be safe if it's a house mod and MY IMMERSION. Also not sure if you plan on having more than ammo boxes but I'd include at least one other type of container (I'm a fan of minimal storage as well, I generally find a place where it's essentially just one container per inventory tab, so like ammo, aid, armor etc).

You call it towers, do you plan on making more then the one in the screens or what?

For full immersion make some of them taken over/inhabited by raiders or such, maybe a small NCR outpost as well as one or two destroyed ones.

Sorry for not posting back earlier, was finickying the navmesh some more to ensure companions didn't do anything weird, I went ahead with the upload already, as to how many towers, aiming for a few at the moment but they will be independent in modular format so people can take all one none or some.

For up to date shots etc the relz thread is as follows, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1142096-relz-badmagic-watchtowers/.
