@Yevic - dont worry about it, its a 'big' list to look through.

@Miaximus - Thanks!

UPDATE:
Finally, I have a street light that glows at night. It was a pain and I had to create my own NIF version of the lamp post. But, it works now. Its also scripted to come on at night and go off during the day.

Wow! Your attention to detail is very impressive!

» Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:45 pm

This mod (and its author) never cease to amaze me.

Thank you both!

The details will be 'missed' by most people.
But, since the details are there, I hope that on a sub-conscious level that they are noticed.

The vault will certainly look different than any vanilla game location. A bit more sparkle, a bit more fluff, perhaps more interaction with the environment.

Hi i've noticed that swings in here ( http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l237/WillieSea/ExpV64039.jpg ) somewhere were really static (solid) i was wondering if you're making everything very accurately to the details maybe you'd be up to make them swing as in HL2.

The playground, including the swings, were removed. (there are none in that picture that I am able to see.)
As for movable swings, they would have to be recreated which I do not know how to do. (or want to do) :shrug:

There is a playgound in the garden room (hydroponics). But they have a collision zone inside them and it will not let you through, like in vanilla FO3.

Just like Ancient Towers!

I started this mod the end of December.

ETA's are for developers who like head aches. I work on the mod when I feel like it, when its fun for me. I have enough pressure from work when I write programs for them to get the same pressure from a hobby. I am not complaining, just saying why there is no ETA. The best I can say is when I feel its done. Could be several more months, or next month. :shrug:

UPDATE:
I will be working on the battle simulator some more. I want to put around 10 spawn locations and then make it random for which spawn point the creatures show up at.

well if this is anything like ANY of your other mods it'll be well worth the wait :goodjob:

I've been scoping this mod lately and it's come to my attention that building a vault could actually be fun.
No I don't mean going into the real world, digging a giant hole and living in it, I mean the mods for a vault.
Something cool to add would be like a hotel with a lobby, you could take the Tenpenny Tower lobby and
just shrink it up a little bit, that would be pretty cool.

All in all, nice work dude, best WIP mod for Fallout 3.

I was thinking, the battle simulation world needed something 'special'.
And as I thought about it, I thought a monorail line would be cool for the 'backdrop' of the battle simulation world.

My plan is to have the train zoom along the line every once in a while.

Wow, how are you going to achieve that? Nice retexture on the car, by the way.

» Fri Apr 01, 2011 4:49 pm

Ever think about adding people to the vault? Maybe through a quest? It's just from the pictures, the things huge. Would kind of feel lonely.

@FoxtrotZulu - Using a simple script to increment the X position. Its really quite simple.

@Expresate - No. This seems to be the most asked question. Some answers I have given: I like it lonely. I dont like having to talk to NPC's. I dont know how to get dialog working. I dont know how to get quests working. There will be plenty of androids and robots, some of them roaming around.

Works for me.

I now have two trains, one going each way. They are scripted to run at different speeds and have random pause times between each pass.
I will probably script it next to have between 1 to 3 cars go with the engine on each pass. I really like looking up after battling a deathclaw to see the train go by...

for the love of god if you want NPC'sa in a vault people "BRING THEM!" I'm guessign WillSea is making the companion meshes. so BRING YOUR OWN NPCs. use Sharing and Caring or any companion mod

» Sat Apr 02, 2011 1:11 am

Yes, any 'good' companion mod should allow you to 'drop off' your companions in the vault.
There are also mods that allow you to have robot companions. Although I may make a 'simple' robot companion available in this mod.

I'll clear out Megaton before I blow it sky high and bring them all into the vault

I am sooo looking forward to this mod! It just seems so cool!

Oh, Willie you just make everything you touch ooooo so much better.

Geez, this mod has pretty much everything and the kitchen sink. All it really needs in concept is the ability to start your own surface Vault City.

» Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:38 am

nemetoad that would be a metaphore if it erent for the fact that this mod probably DOES have the kitchen sink
