Modding for the Strip

Post » Wed Aug 18, 2010 1:16 pm

You know, if you try to enter the Strip from the Freeside instead of using the Monorail, the Sec greeter aggroes on the player if she tries to enter without passport. I've had an idea - if the stupid player tries to enter, she should be punished in the same way the player is punished when trying to exit the Thayan Academy Soul Binding Repository in MoB with too many souls in inventory or when stepping on traps in Zehir's fortress in SoZ - so basically, chikenization, petrification, electrocution and a bit of missile storm on top, lol. Unfortunately, there are no graphical effects for that, but I'll come with something else, maybe some of Miss Fortune's punishments? Knockdowns on player? This is going to be just as much fun as my mods for the NWN2 punishments I mentioned above!

So far, I've modded some stuff in the Strip, cause I entered thru the Monorail and haven't been to Freeside yet. All Strip encounters are now based on proximity rather than random chance and trigger when player gets close. Player controls are disabled, then re-enabled after the cutscenes are over. First, I combined the two graffiti encounters into one and timed everything thru the MPs' convo:

Second, the girls in the fountain:

Check out these hotties!

Next, the Brahmin rush. Equipped the guy with a cattle prod and it now works like this: The guy pursues the poor brahmin, brahmin runs away, bumps into player, knocks her down, then runs to the same exit where the fountain girls are disappearing after the fountain scene and both the brahmin and the guy pursuing it disappear there:

Uh-oh, this isn't going to end well:

Then there is some weird horny guy pursuing a girl thru the entire Strip, they are disabled in vanilla game, don't think they are ever enabled, but it's funny, so I enabled them:

Yeah, Mr Horny and the Maiden in Distress! Hey, a marathon thru the Strip! I am in! I'll just run after the guys:

Also fixed Billy Knight's performance in the Strip, he is just standing around, he is supposed to perform and say his lines, weird bugs, really
