Maxios' Modding Mania

[Maxios]

This thread is about my modding of New Vegas. Whenever I finish making a mod, or begin making a new one, I'll post on here. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to go in Arts & Crafts, but I figured it'd fin in better here. Each of the mods changes aspects of the game to be the universe of the Nexus FFRP. After every mod is made, I'll save them all together to make a big Conversion mod.

Mods made (I forgot a couple)*:
A Courier:
Version 1

Adds in A Courier (Who, in the Nexus was THE Courier, but in this is changed to just a Courier)
The Courier spawns in the Prospector Saloon, in Goodsprings.
The Courier has no dialouge yet, but it will be added in v2.
The Courier will eventually give a quest to try and find the missing Maxios
.

Moff's 5th Clone: Adds in The Moff's 5th Clone to the game

Version 1
Moff #5 will spawn in the school in Goodsprings
This Moff is the most quiet of all the Moff's, and has only one line of dialouge.
In the quest "Moff Hunter", which will be added in soon, this Moff is one of the targets the PC must kill.


Gordon: Adds in Gordon

Version 1
Gordon will spawn in the Saloon in Goodsprings, but as soon as the Trog's Tavern mod is finished, he'll go there.
Gordon is the leader of the AMEN Faction
Gordon has very high HP, and a Plasma Rifle, so attacking him at low levels is certain death


Cicily:

Version One
Replaces Chet in Goodsprings with Cicily
Cicily provides the exact same functions as Chet
Dialouge has yet to be fixed, so Cicily is still referred to as Chet.


Skillbook Name Change:

Version Two
Changes the names of various skillbooks to fit in with the Nexus theme.
In example, the Big Book of Science is renamed Riv's Big Book of Science
In another example, Guns and Bullets is renamed Reinholdt's Guns and Bullets


McNinja:

Version One
Adds Dr McNinja, the most epic character possible, to the game. Gordito is also added with this mod.
Dr McNinja does NOT have a Mask yet, so I'm trying to fix that
For some reason, Gordito is NOT spawning with a mustache. These glitches will be fixed in the next version


Perks!:

Version One
Changes the description of nearly every perk obtainable
Adds in old perks from Fallout 3, like Barkskin or Junior Survivor (Note: It does NOT give a bonus to survival)



Mods to be made**:
The Moff Ghoul: Adds a Ghoulified version of The Moff to the game. I already made this mod before, but I really screwed up when statting out it's health and location.
The Empire of Future Past: Adds in a group of Time-Traveling Romans who come into conflict with the Legion.
Evil Maxios: Replaces Mr. House with Maxios' evil clone
Heroics: Adds in HALO (Heroic Anti-Law Breaker Orginization)
Malicious Intent: Adds in AMEN (Association of the Malicious, Evil, and Nefarious)
The Living Dead: Adds in Becky, Undead Town, Zombies, and perhaps a quest
Brothers in Bond: A series of mods adding notes to the game, detaliling various adventures after the nukes dropped.


*-These are the finished mod. When a mod in the "Mods to be made" section if finished, it'll be moved here.

**-These are the mods I'm currently working on, and this list will be updated every day

A group of zealots set up an orginization called the Crusaders. The Crusaders are dedicating to destroying any form of mutation caused by radioactivity, be it Ghouls or Giant Ants. They are also dedicated to harvesting technology and protecting the innocent. Because of their means, they make few allies, and many enemies.

A leader of one of the casinos in New Vegas finds out the secret of the chip, and begins a plan that will end with him taking over New Vegas. He, and some hired guns, intercept the Courier, and take the Chip, severly injuring the Courier in the process.

The Doctor McNinja & Gordito mod is now finished.

[Comet]

Uh... any chance we could see some of these mods, you know, try them out? Or at least hear a bit more about how you decided to go about making them and such?

As it stands now, you just sort of go "hey guys, I made a mod, it has Dr McNinja in it" and I'm like "okay, cool".

I suppose what I'm saying is that there's not much to discuss here unless you give us some details.

I'll upload a couple of them to the Fallout New Vegas Modding Nexus in a few minutes, and I'll also post some screens. I'm going to edit the OP to give more info on the finished mods.

Edit: OP edited to give more info on finished mods. Screenshots will be edited in next

[Maxios]

I have began working on a mod adding in Undead Town, Becky, Zombies (:smalleek:), and a quest or two :smallwink:
I'll post screens and more once more of the project is done

[Maxios]

Two new mods done:
Brothers in Bond Log One
Brothers in Bond Log Two
There will be other logs, later on. These logs tell the story of the Courier, Sunny Smiles, and Maxios, as they explored the Wastelands together in 2014. The logs give background to the game, and also explore Maxios' disappearence.

Edit: Log Three is complete

[Spartacus]

I see no mods and no screenshots. What is the purpose of this thread? It seems like a notepad document would work just as well.

[Maxios]

A Courier: Screenshot (May be Screen-Stretchy)

I'll go take some screens of Gordon and Gordito, and I'll post them as well.
