Boogoose: Oct 5, 2003; GIVE ME THE CASH !

Inspired by the awesome robot race I decided have a crack at making a "cybernetic" trait. Fiddling around in the GECK, I've managed to work out how to make a new trait and assign abilities to it. Here's the flavour text:

quote:

You are fortunate enough to have been cybernetically enhanced. Less biology and more machinery means you are more resistant to toxins, but as a result all chems and stims are less effective. You are also vunerable to EMP, but have superior implant compatability. Long live the New Flesh!

I've set poison resist at 90, +2 to endurance (mainly so you can get the Tin Head and Manmachine perks from Project Nevada for more implant slots), and put EMP vunerability at 50. However, since I don't want to create a simple god trait, I'd really like to get the effects of chems and stims down to 50%, but I can't even begin to say how to do it in the GECK. Would it mean adding a custom script?

Keeping in mind actually adding physical changes to a character with the trait is way beyond my abilities, does anyone have any suggestions? Is the endurance increase the best way of increasing implant potential both in the vanilla game and PN?

I think I have the right effects and values attached to the perk now. I assume both entry points refer to health recovered from stims and chem effects respectively, and setting them to .50 halves them. The GECK is surprisingly easy to use, which explains 90% of the mods on Nexus I suppose.

Strudel Man, I'm gonna go ahead and make the attempt to port Signature Weapons to Fallout 3, and most of the scripts are coming up without any errors, except one.

...
Line 68 in SignatureWeaponSettingsScript

This is coming up as a Syntax error, "reference not allowed in this context." Any idea what I'm missing?

That's kind of odd - all it's doing is sticking four quest variables into a message.

Maybe try changing the "%g" variable slot in the SignatureWeaponStats message to a %.0f? Only thing I can think of that might help.

Okay, so I finished my Cybernetic trait. I tried to balanced the positives and the negatives, and the result is:

90% Poison resist: Hopefully this means that cazadors still sting, but are no longer a death sentence.

+3 Endurance: I hummed and hahed about how to realise "implant affinity", and this seemed to be the best solution. In the vanilla game, boosted endurance will mean a lot more implants from the clinic. In Project Nevada, you'll be able to qualify for Man Machine and Tin Head without too much trouble. Also I guess a cyborg would have a hardier system.

EMP vunerability: I set this at 90% to mirror the poison resist. Not sure how often EMP attacks come your way, but it seems a reasonable weakness for a cyborg.

Half-effect chems and stims: The main drawback of the trait. It makes sense that with less organic systems making you tick, these would have limited efficiency. The extra HP from the endurance boost gives you more health, but it's harder to recoup. The chem weakness can always be countered with Logan's Loophole if you are a dope fiend.

So, for a first effort, what do people think? Does it need more pros, or cons? Is it worth sharing on the Nexus? I've got the GECK bug now, I need to find another project that suits my limited ability.

Yeah that's what I thought when I saw the Robot race. I suppose it does mean more caution with your own EMP grenades.

It would be a really cool goon project to try and add some sort of depth to the Powder Gangers, or just Goodsprings in general. I'm sure a lot of people (myself included) would love to play an outlaw if it was a little more interesting and viable.

Make Goodsprings upgradeable. Invest in it to add more stores/services, clean up the busted abandoned buildings, recruit NPCs from other settlements to take up residents, hire protection for it, etc. It'd be fun, I think.

Exactly. Maybe even get a sheriff for Goodsprings much like you can get one for Primm (in fact, if you use Primm Slim instead of Myers, give him the ability to become Goodsprings sheriff). Actually, now that I think about it, why not have the player be able to become sheriff?
And on the opposite end add a layer of civil war within the Powder Gangers so it would be possible for the player to take control of them and take them in a number of different directions.

Easy Pete is the only possible sheriff.

For real though, improving the area around Goodsprings should have some positive effects on the town. Things like clearing the Deathclaws out of the quarry and clearing the NCRCF out. Traders should start moving in, maybe creating a small caravan system in the area? Maybe even have people move back into Nipton to make a larger trade area.

I'm not sure how well old, FOOK-free saves work with new FOOK installs. You might try disabling the FOOK plugins, going to a different cell, saving, and re-enabling FOOK again. Maybe it doesn't like loading from wherever you're currently located (example, DLC areas.)

Otherwise, you might just have to accept starting a new game with an overhaul like FOOK.

Not really, as EMP grenades deal about 5 damage- their bonus damage is done via an enchant that only runs if the target's a robot or in power armour. The only weapon that deals any real amount of damage and runs of EMP resist is (AFIAK) the Tesla Cannon.

Funny thing on that, clearing the deathclaws out of Junction Quarry has an effect elsewhere. If you go to the bar just outside of Boulder City before clearing it, it's empty as can be. After though, more people start showing up there, since they can get back to work. Bethesda should've done more stuff like that.

Huh, I always wondered why that bar was so useless/empty. Never figured it was because of the deathclaws at the quarry.

It's actually explained by the bartender there. Basically, even thought Boulder City was blown to hell and back, the cement production facility there still works, and they use the limestone and other minerals from the Quarry to make cement for bunkers and other stuff for the NCR.
