I had a bit of a fit of inspiration and expanded Jacobstown. It's very small and uncomplicated. I just need to test it all in-game.

I haven't touched the Lodge at all.

What I've done is unboard the boarded up bungalows and added the following:

- a player home
- a general store that offers repairs
- a cafe
- a hairdresser (yes, I know mutants wouldn't have much use for one, so it's manned by a robot)

I didn't want to mess around with any new dialogue, so I've just scripted it to bring the menus directly up when you click on the store owners.

No time for screenshots yet, but here are some editor pics:

http://princessstomper.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/jacobhome.jpg <-- Player Home
http://princessstomper.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/jacobstore.jpg <-- general store

Any unique/quest items have been given new IDs to avoid conflicts. The magazines in the hairdresser's (bar one) have new IDs and the effects removed.

hehe cool :>

Maybe it's just me.. But do they all use the same interior?

I know you didn't change the Lodge, but did anyone notice the Lodge and Camp Golf are the same? Like there's even the same Chem set in the same room, the same oscilloscopes on the same bed, the same tipped over shelf in the same room. It's not just the same base building.. they actually kept almost all the clutter the same.

If you mean the shape of the interior, I belive they do.
But they are bungalows at a resort. They're usually buit identical.

Thanks PS, great to see someone gave the muties some love.

This looks GREAT. I thought those bungalows should be used.

Could I be cheeky and ask for the script you attached to the robot to make it give the player a haircut? I would like to make my own

Oh, sure - it's just an adaptation of a script from my Hole In The Wall mod for Fallout 3:

scn ajwHITWRobotScriptshort Buttonshort captureButtonBegin OnActivateif ( IsActionRef Player == 1 )	showMessage ajwHITWRObotQ	set capturebutton to 1endifendBegin GameModeif captureButton == 1	set button to getButtonPressed	if button > -1	set captureButton to 0		if button == 0			; drink			player.additem WaterUnpurified 1		elseif button == 1			; haircut			ShowBarberMenu		elseif button == 2			; repair			showRepairMenu		elseif button == 3			; nothing		endif	endif 	;/ button > -1endif		;/ captureButton == 1end

(Obviously you have to create a corresponding message with the button options)

As to the bungalows, yeah, I did reuse them - but I realised that all the houses in my street are built to the exact same plan, so they would all be the same shape. I did try to make the interiors look distinct, though.

With regard to the clutter, yeah, I did copy over some of it from one of the bungalows to the player home, but that's just because I really liked it. I think there's enough variety to make it unique.

Oh yes - in the one I copied as my template (bungalow 3), I removed the dead body from the house. Scruffy, I thought was believable, but seriously - who would live in a house with a dead body on the floor? :blink:

Thanks for the compliments, all.

:edit: Interestingly, you can barter with a dead guy using that script! I didn't include any check for death, so when I stole a lunchbox and then Veronica decided to punch the mutant's head clean off (I know!), I could still barter with its corpse.

Of course, that could be pretty handy, in a gruesome kind of way. Should I try to fix it? If so, how?

Begin OnActivateif ( IsActionRef Player == 1 )        if (getdead != 1 && player.isincombat != 1)	         showMessage ajwHITWRObotQ	         set capturebutton to 1        endifendifend(...)

I assume you're attaching this script to an Actor? If it's an Activator then it won't work.

Neat Mod.

Kinda off topic, but out of curiosity what was the Form ID name of that Mister Handy? I'm contemplating another radio mod, but this time I want the DJ to be present in the game world, but I couldn't find the Robots IDs over the mountains of generic NPCs.

I will definitely use this. Of course the building layout is identical but so are the broken walls, maybe you could add some variety to the broken walls too?

Thanks


It's in the Creatures tab


I'm not touching the exteriors - sorry

Just a thought, why not a plastic surgeon? It seems that they have the science folks. Also, I'd think it be a booming trade with ghouls and mutants

Looks awesome . One thing though... it may just be my personal preference, but it might look better if you put another light by the robot in the hair cuttery.
