Fallout 3: Van Buren (Spoilers!)

[Kane Vollstrecker]

New Enclave Ultra Stimpak...

Would be nice if the first few pieces of useful loot come at you like an oasis in a desert. Modifying barter rates based on location might help against OCD if that's an issue.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

Vaarne Aarne i have Athena, ARTEMIS, HERAKLES and the whole gamut of Enclave/Poseidon special projects.

but this things i will not show here this you can see only when the mod is done..

JohntheRevelator better i make a item more than a item less.When you not like to much Loot then leave the Items where this are.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yea, with excess item graphics we have stuff to choose from.

 

[Whisky]

That reminds me. Don't overdo with loot, Fallout 2 offers way too much in this regard, money was non issue. Only issue was that trunk of your car was overloaded all the time and merchants didn't have enough money...

Hopefully that can be avoided. Selling hundreds of Combat Shotguns basically made you a billionaire and if you didn't have enough money for it, your car trunk certainly had enough shit to cover it.

At the same time, it's good to have a variety of loot, the increased amount of guns in Fallout 2 are one of the things most people agreed was better in the second game. We just need to avoid being able to mass sell tons of it midway into the game to get everything you want.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

Vaarna Aarne better The Factions have Unique Items instead of all same Weapons and Armors.

Whisky this only can be avoided when you only can loot money and ammo from people and can this things only buy oder find in secret places.But i think this is very bad.

You can not control which way people plays the game,someone plays at casino have lots money ,other makes encounters have lots money.

New Enclave Combat Armor...

this item sprite looks bad. it just appears like a black and red blob of something. you can't really differentiate between the breast plate and the helmet, and also the details are vanishing because of all the flat black parts. if i wouldn't know the original sprite i would have to guess what that item is. the sprite of the laser rifle is of similar design and hardly readable.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

semper this are not the final arts this are prototypes.But if you not can see which type of armor or what armor this is you have bad eyes and need optic glasses.

 

[Trephs]

If these are just prototypes and that ugly, why bother showing them? Not only him can barely recognize items - they are poorly made, just admit this, no need to offend.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

So you are going to smooth the edges and make details stand out better? Excellent.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

ok i have edit the New Enclave Combat Armor...

 

[hexer]

All inventory art has to be approved by me and in case that Kane doesn't clean up some pixels I am here to do it and give advice to him. All new art will be consistent with original Fallout.

Kane, we talked yesterday about not having pure black in Fallout so those black Enclave armors don't look as good as your other art. Your last Enclave armor is much, much better.

The Legion only appears as a scouting element at Fort Abandon, since Van Buren takes place before the Battle of Hoover Dam.

Yes, the scouts are at Fort Abandon but I think there's also a cut location - a bigger camp to the (north-)east.

I will definitively ask for a forum because now we are talking about everything in a single thread.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

hexer i have said that are only prototypes i will change them like the last one ...

No problem. It would be the best then to mention prototype stage because people will always assume that it's a final state.

 

[hexer]

Hexer, are you going to use the Van Buren item images ripped from the tech demo or are you going to make FO2 art-style versions of them?

Kane already prepared all art items from Van Buren but if he makes something prettier and more detailed then we will use those.

Btw, are we going into 3D models for realz? If yes, awesome!

Of course! :D

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

Enklave Hellfire-Power Armor...

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

New Enclave Laser Rifle....

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

New Enclave Ultra Stimpak...

 

[tuluse]

Kane Vollstrecker, I was going to say your sprites were too "harsh" compared to the Fallout pallet and that the red should be toned down to a more rust color and the black should be dark grey, and then you went ahead and changed them already.

Good work.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

I still don't like the items. Red eyes, red stripes, red tubes... I left this recoloring approach early in my Wiz8 mod, because the results felt cheap. At least try to draw a bit of additional detail, some vents, raised plates, rivets...whatever.

The only place I'd consider a recolor good enough is different types of ammo of the same caliber.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

ok Guys this are new High Tecnology Weapons for The Enclave i dont change a thing.The Enclave have now High Laser Tecnology and This Ceramic Shit is away now that new Material is there.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

For these say Red Eyes not pass to Fallout you dont have play the Game.Youre first inform then Write...

This is Frank Horrigan he has use the First New High Advanced Enclave Armor so look at the Eyes..

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

Brazilian these are the FOnline Creator they have make many things.A Crossbow animation they have not done.

i have only found a Crossbow projectil File.

 

[hexer]

Who are the guys doing these 3D sprites, btw?

Wonder if they did a crossbow animation, would be nice.

Those are actually 3D models imported from Van Buren. There also exists a separate group of models being finalized by Russians which are very similar to original Fallout 2D sprites. We were promised to gain access to those models once they are finished. I will ask about crossbows but I have seen A LOT of new 3D stuff and maybe they are there.

 

[Kane Vollstrecker]

i have seen that in Van Buren were also planned a Bow....A Bow were really cool but without the right Animation this would ne nothing.
