Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;43676627]I've had that happen before, but it usually clears up in less than a minute; the other times the game crashes entirely and the sound loops until I restart the computer. Not sure what might cause the game to freeze completely except for sound.[/QUOTE] Haven't tried waiting for over a minute, to be honest :v: It does, however, take more than 10 seconds before ctrl+alt+del works and I can access task manager to close the process. Crude, but there's no other way I can close the damn thing. This seems to happen most indoors and the fastest in Megaton's player home. 1-2 seconds and bam, freeze. [QUOTE=Sgt Doom;43676627]I love the Fallout universe in all it's lore and aesthetic quality, but dear god the engine/dev team they're using should be put down like a crippled horse with bubonic plague.[/QUOTE] idk man the faces are rather difficult to make look even decent.

Hell, if I saw someone with a Gamebryo-ish face in real life, i'd direct them to the nearest cancer specialist :v:

[QUOTE=Rents;43672209]Most of it is.[/QUOTE] That's no reason for prejudices. I read a lot of fan-fictions (Fallout included), and I wish fan-fictions didn't have such a bad reputation so that more people could read the ones that are really good. My favourite piece of writing of all times is a fan-fiction.

So I need some help. I'm trying to start a new game for Vegas but whenever I do it starts TTW instead. I've tried disabling all the TTW .esm / esp's but that doesn't change a thing. If I try deleting all the TTW files it just crashes at start up. My load order if it helps. [IMG]http://puu.sh/6yZBj.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/6yZEr.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/6yZHe.png[/IMG]

I'm so proud of myself: Managed to not kill [sp]Christine or Doggod[/sp] in Dead Money. Maybe next time I'll figure out a way to save [sp]Dean :v:[/sp]

I wrote one for Fallout too. Just something that would probably get me hanged by the Facepunch Investigation Bureau that's all

Same goes for DeviantArt, really. Whatever people say, the good things on it are worth all the bad things.

I've never found a collection of fan-fiction that wasn't terrible, I'd love to give it a second chance though, if you guys have any one place in particular that isn't almost entirely self-insert sexual fantasies

Speaking of which, are there any that involve psykers?

[QUOTE=Saza;43678782]to save him you just sit the fuck down and don't speak against him[/QUOTE] i didn't even know [sp]that the characters could die. they always survived and got the best endings for me because i always have really high speech[/sp]

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;43678940]i didn't even know [sp]that the characters could die. they always survived and got the best endings for me because i always have really high speech[/sp][/QUOTE] I have 100 speech, but that didn't stop me from, as aforementioned, using the barter check. That's what got me. [editline]26th January 2014[/editline] Also at the ending part where you have to get out with the bars(optional) It's become a mission. I had a Stealth Boy, but left it on my companion. I had to dismiss her to save Christine, which means I no longer have access to my Stealth-boy. I think I'm just going to cheat it in and remove the other one when I get her back later because this is whack.

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the ideas; the ones about home-made weapons really inspired me so I'm trying a bunch of new home-made ideas. This is a really rough screenshot and I wouldn't even say its really half done, but I figure as a community involved project; I should show you guys. Yes this is a throwable spear that will (hopefully) stick to people and than explode. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZVbuRhol.png[/IMG] Expect to see a lot of ghetto crafting weapons

i think some sort of extremely barebones laser weapon would be cool. like, just a loose bunch of wires connected to a prism holder from a laser pistol, and you push the energy cell onto the wires to activate it in place of an actual trigger.

I adore that dynamite spear idea, would be absolutely orgasmic to stick one of them into them damned giant radscorpions. Bonus points for more kinds of explosives attached to spears (though I admit a mini nuke taped to a spear would be a bit farfetched :v:) Ooh, the mininuke attached to a spear reminded me of the Davy Crockett rocket, since you surely can't throw it far enough to escape it's blast radius

Bonus points for more kinds of explosives attached to spears (though I admit a mini nuke taped to a spear would be a bit farfetched :v:)[/QUOTE] I actually had a lot of ideas planned for helping out various play-styles and different ways of handling situations. Throwing TNT spears (and as you stated, other explosives too!) Bundles of explosives (such as several TNT strapped to one which is thrown) similar to the bundle of German Stick-Grenades known as the Geballte Ladung In-fact I think I'll try modelling stick grenades too and say they're "Chinese" as various countries around the 40s-60s in Asia used grenades which are very similar in appearance. Just gonna be making tons of shit, and especially explosive weapons aimed towards lighter/stealth players, sacrificing lots of boom, for the sake of being able to atleast have some (the smaller grenade launchers in the game follow this concept) [editline]26th January 2014[/editline] Just another sexy sneak peek for TestECull. I promised I would begin work on a Smith and Wesson inspired Revolver, and I've been chipping away at it. Its not even nearly finished yet, the grip still needs a lot of work along with the main body, but I hope you're happy with it so far. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NNSq8vMl.png[/IMG]

How about a gun made out of cobbled together pipes or something? There was an addon for Gmod that had a cool series of makeshift guns, I'm probably thinking of that.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43680588]How about a gun made out of cobbled together pipes or something? There was an addon for Gmod that had a cool series of makeshift guns, I'm probably thinking of that.[/QUOTE] The concern is animations, because they need to fit the ones the game has, but I'll definitely look into make-shift guns (though I assume they'll function fairly uniquely, because the wasteland is flooded with real functional guns)

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43680588]How about a gun made out of cobbled together pipes or something?

Not ready to show anything yet, but how do you guys feel about a new deadly arsenal of silenced (or silencer mod compatible) weapons? :quagmire:

Hell yeah, silencers.

[QUOTE=Two Bears;43681261]I think there was a Pipe Rifle in a mod I played a while back, ran off of the Single Shotgun animations.[/QUOTE] project nevada adds the home-made guns which are esentially a pipe taped to a 9mm pistol and chambered into a riffle

[QUOTE='[Green];43681618']Hell yeah, silencers.[/QUOTE] I have a fetish for stealth so get ready for at least one silenced weapon per weapon type. I promise I will show something soon, I'm just working on the stuff I've shown already [editline]26th January 2014[/editline] In fact, I am going to set up a new Gmail so that you guys can email me any kind of ideas or suggestions or criticism

doommarine I'd be your BFF is you made lawnmower blades into craftable bayonets that could be attached to 2 handed rifles/shotguns. BFF FOREVER.

Actually its a engine limitation and I don't know advanced scripting so I don't know how to make melee attachments that are usable (However, the Service Rifle has an un-used bayonet model which I intend on making a usable knife weapon.) I want to make it up to you though. I promise I will make the lawnmower blades usable for a lot of awesome things. Flechette rounds... Lawnmower Spears... Lawnmower Swords.... Lawnmower ghetto ass chainsaws... :quagmire:
