Mod team! Looking to form a mod team!

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 12:57 am

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody would like to form a mod team for a mod I'm currently creating. Its going to be like an unofficial DLC. Basically the story is a vault where all the capital congress men are staying at. When the nuclear war took place this underground city like a vault was created to shield the members of congress from a nuclear blast. Now that John Henry Edan is destroyed congress needs to elect a new president.

I have pretty much the entire level designed, maybe could add a few details, and needs polishing. But the main problem I'm having is dialog. So anybody who has specialty with creating dialog with the G.E.C.K. would be nice! Also I would like for this MOD to have a few new weapons, amor, and new enemies if anybody who has specialty in that area would be great also! Send me a PM if any of you are interested in working on a group mod! I was trying to do this all myself but it is very difficult, I got level designing down but the other stuff I don't know how to do like creating new guns/armor/ and dialog.

Here is a video of what I got so far, but it doesn't show the entire capital congressmen vault just the top level.

The other levels look the same but they have more light and have a theme. The left side of the building is where the left wing stays and it's color them is blue, on the right is the right wing and the color theme is red. I don't what happened but a the doors became uneven. I know there is a lot to fix already with the doors going through the floor and don't look even. I was able to create traders but the dialog is so confusing they automatically go into. I only showed the top level because I know nobody wants to watch anything more than 5 minutes of video giving a tour to a mod. Also I would like to have quests. Some of my storyline ideas are going to be spoofs of modern day politics, so please PM if you want to hear my ideas as politics isn't allowed on these forums. But anyways theres a lot to fix and a lot to work on and this hard to by myself and it would be great if any other of your modders would like to finish this mod!

So if anybody is interesting in helping make a post, send me a PM! once I get a team together I'll upload the .esp to my website you guys can download it to help mod it!

Moderators, I know there is minor cussing in the video I did not intend it for to be that way but something got screwed up where one of the traders wouldn't go into trade mode, please don't close the thread I really want to get a mod team going!

Last and not least, I'd like to thank Ghoulsrpeople2, she has helped me beta testing for what I got so far! So I do have one other person helping but she just beta tests things for me.

A. You must be much more patient, you only posted the original 4 hours ago.

B. Committing to building a mod is a big deal, and others are not going to donate their time easily - I recommend spending some time to outline Specific aspects of the mod you really want help with.

C. Its "late" in the modding season for Fo3 now, and there are not dozens and dozens of modders looking for work at this point, so the pool of available modders is less.

D. Recommend a slight change of tone for future such posts. "Help me finish My mod" makes it sound less like a team effort and more like an individual asking for help. Most modders these days may only donate their efforts to a Team in which the entire team shares the spoils.

E. Don't give up! It may take weeks to find the right helper/teammate, but once you do, things could progress very fast. The more details about the plan you can post, the better the chances.

Luck! :)

Hey, I'd like to help but the things you need help with are a few of the things I'm worst at. Otherwise, I would help. Good luck finding a team, though, and this post should bump you if nothing else. :shrug:

I would like to help.
I am skilled in dialog creation/npc creation and interiors are also my specialty.
I can't devote too much time though. (I'm also on the Merp team for oblivion, although I only work on interiors and not many claims have been popping out lately.)I am not the greatest but I know the ropes and I am creative.

One more thing though, how far into production are you? For example, finished heightmap, finished exteriors, quest line planned out, etc. And do you have a better form of communication for team members? I know it might seem like a good idea at the start to just start a thread on these forums, but after people get interested in what you are doing the thread will be flooded with questions and answers, making it quite hard for us to communicate.

Good luck in building your team!

Are the members of the US Congress computers like Eden too? If not, then they would be dead after 200 years in a vault. The elected position of Congressman does not pass down to descendents.

Congress does not elect Presidents, although a member of Congress may be appointed as President in an emergency if everyone closer to succession is dead.

Well of course I'm calling it my mod because I did start it, but now I'm looking to turn it into a team effort mod! Well this vault isn't pre-war congressment it is their decadents, and because of Marshall law their families are still congress members. And no in this mod all the capital congressmen are not computers they are going to be descendants of congressmen/woman from pre-war times. So yes that is one of my ideas is electing one of the congressmen in that vault to take over president Eden as president. Basically the vault was built underground and the secret entrance to the vault is in a campaign office.

Well president Richardson/Eden did not exactly win by popular vote. But yes that is the story congress is going to appoint a president because even though its 200 yeras later, the United States is still in a state of emergency. You know its 200 years later and a lot of the government got destroyed so they aren't exactly going to do things by the constitution here.

Well hey if you want to work on it I'd say sounds good :D

I have the basic story down and the merchants that's about it as far as that goes.I basically got all the level designing done, but it needs a few adjustments and I need to work out the kinks and fix some of the objects that got moved around which made some of the things look un-even and glitch into walls and the such. The level needs touch up and some polishing. But even that's not entirely done I just got the basic layout for like bathrooms/stores/schools. The part that isn't shown in the video there is a bunch of bedrooms for the residents that is pretty much done but could use some unique objects for their personality. For some odd reason, I think when I added the NPCs in some of the ojbects got moved around or since the level is using one big piece sometimes I accidentally move that around a bit and everything gets misplaced and the such. That video only showed one area, the other areas are fine and don't have any problems. Its fine I'm not looking for somebody to work 7 days a week 9-5 here. This is a for fun thing for me! Well I figured maybe if I get a team together we could work out some quest lines, also if you have any suggestions for communications, I was thinking maybe IRC, a messenger program that has private chat room options. I could post a chat room my website, you know anything that works out for you guys. But when I work in teams, every bodies ideas are counted for and I think if we are going to do add our ideas we all need to agree on them.

So that's 2 members so far, sounds great!

When do we see the itemized list of jobs; With that I could look through and see if there is anything I know how to work with.

I can't devote too much time though. (I'm also on the Merp team for oblivion, although I only work on interiors and not many claims have been popping out lately.)I am not the greatest but I know the ropes and I am creative.
