Coming soon : Fallout Mod

Postby B3rgil » Fri Dec 15, 2006 5:02 pm

Once again excuse my approximate english.
I hope everybody here knows Fallout, the post-nuclear role playing game, which has many connections with Defcon. That's the theme of my new mod.

SAM = vault's door
SILO = the PipBoy !
...

Concerning UNITS : in Fallout's world there is an helicopter...

... and even a ship (in San Francisco).

I dream of the USA map with game's locations and cities. As you can see there is lots of Fallout's maps but - like for my Middle Earth Mod - I don't know how to do because of the map wrapping.
- Fallout : http://www.gamebanshee.com/fallout/worl ... plarge.jpg
- Fallout 2 : http://fallout.486games.net/fallout2_map.jpg
- Fallout Tactics : http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/albu ... al_Map.jpg

I keep working on graphics, suggestions and comments are welcome.

I'm surprised no-one has put a helicopter before, seems a rather obvious graphics amendment now you mention it. Although I suppose they'd move disproportionately fast for a helicopter, unless it was Airwolf that is.

You have to entirely redraw the game to look like a PipBoy.
I give you 3 days.

Just a minor thing here; that's an Enclave "Vertibird", not a helicopter.
Also, it is noted in Fallout 1 that the super mutants used steam trucks to assault Necropolis, might be something to work with.

Otherwise, nice work. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for these informations !

I suspected "helicopter" wasn't the good word. I played Fallout's french version, and the french translation is "hélicoptère".
So I'll change it to "Vertibird".

Yes I'll try. But I absolutely want to keep the PipBoy. :)

I found a better appearence for Silo on Air Defense :

The Turret !
That replace my vault's door which wasn't really appropriate...

Perhaps you could substitute the city icons with the vault door ones?

Maybe you could make the bombers be the airships from Fallout Tactics.

Great idea ! Can't remember their name in game. Is it Airships ? Or Zeppelins ?

Thanks for your help, guys.

hmm, I do not think you see them much, but I would guess they look like Zeppelins, but I guss the folks in the fallout world would call the Airships :P
