Devs or Modders - ovens = campfires.(PLEASE?) : Fallout: New Vegas

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:21 pm

I propose a mod that gives you an oven. To fuel this oven you need (as mentioned before) brahmin farts. Sooooooo, you feed your brahmin, and wait a couple of hours for your fuel to recharge in your oven. Then you can cook, and each item you make drains the fuel a little bit.

Thoughts?

There already is a mod that doing this and takes it a bit further, some stoves you need to repair with different stuff depending on what is wrong with them...some ovens you can use direct and cocking with the in game cocking menu.

README:

Name: Oven Cooking

Version: 1.2
Date: 14/11/2010
Category: Miscellaneous
Author(s): Povuholo

Description
=======

This mod allows you to cook on all ovens in the game (the same things you can make with a campfire) with a chance, based on your luck, that they need to be repaired first.
This is done with a pilot light and a sufficient repair or survival skill.

Now the ovens are actually useful!

There's also a chance, again based on your luck, that there is no gas left in the oven. In this case you need to have 1 flamer fuel ammo to refill it.

It does this by adding a script to the ovens.

Installation
=======

1. Extract the Oven Cooking.esp to your Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data folder.
2. Start the New Vegas Launcher (Or use a mod manager when those are released for NV), click 'Data Files' and place a checkmark beside the Oven Cooking.esp.
3. Play the game!

(In)compatibility
===============

This mod could be incompatible with future mods that do stuff with ovens.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================

None.

History
=======

1.2:

-The script on the ovens has been optimized a bit. (Thanks zan laurin!)

-All the messages now have consistent capitalization for their titles, and the words Pilot Light and Flamer Fuel.

-Increased the flamer fuel requirement from 1 to 10.

-Added a small XP reward for fixing broken ovens.

-Added the oven script to one more oven that I missed. Now it should work on all ovens you can find in the game.

1.1: The rare 'clean' oven (Such as those in the Lucky 38) can now also be used for cooking.
On top of that, these well maintained ovens are guaranteed to be working!

1.0: First Release
