[REQ] Map Markers mod : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:50 pm

I was wondering if anyone by any chance could make a mod just like this http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2446 for New Vegas? Not just all map markers in game, but add new ones for all these other places you can discover to.

Thanks

If you have any specific location requests that are reasonable (like, I am not going to make fast travel markers for every single building; that is asinine and you can walk

) I will add them.

yes I downloaded that one a few hours ago, and its nice but if you played fallout 3 and used that mod i posted you will see what the difference is of it. It pretty much gave you the map marker perk, but also the person added in all the places that you can discover that are not map markers in the game.

If someone can explain how I add map markers, I would be willing to do it, but I can not find any tutorials on how to add map makers.

Just curious, what kind of things can you discover that doesn't have map markers?

Seems to me any significant exterior has one and every building or settlement in the wastes seems to have one as well, even if it's just a shack with a bed.

Add a MapMarker object where you want the travel icon to be, then link to to an XMarkerHeading, where the XMarkerHeading will be the position and heading the player will spawn.

But unlike FO3, there aren't any unmarked areas worth exploring. Every dungeon or interesting location already has a map marker. My mod is just to reduce unnecessary load screens to get to areas you will be going to a lot for quests. Places like Crimson Caravan, Camp McClaren, and Aerotech that have the map marker place you outside the zone, forcing you to fast travel load, then door load immediately if you actually want to go to these places, as well as The Strip which can require up to 4 load areas from the nearest marker. The only completely new marker added was to the Old Mormon Fort, because it was it's own mini-cell and it's a place you must go frequently for quests.
