Fallout Zero: Screenshots and Story
- Thread starter dude_obj
- Start date
when is the mod done?It is just getting started, so it will be a while. However, I plan to release the mod in chapters, so the first playable portion should be available in a few months. When a new chapter is complete, a new area will appear on the world map, and one of the NPC conversations will get you on your way.
I'm liking the sound of the detailed scripting.

Can I be an expert lizard excrement expeditor? or do the robots do that?
One of the best Ideas for a mod and best looking ive seen in a while.

This maybe a stupid question, but which game are you modding 1 or 2.

Most likely 2
comparing Fallout 1 modding with fallout 2 modding is like comparing a tax form with a 6th grade math worksheet
Its still frikken hard though

Since none of the original maps will be used, its not really an FO2 mod, its a total conversion using the FO2 engine. You surely want the "push" button and NPC combat control from FO2 engine, and the FO1 world map stuff is hardcoded in the engine. It would make no sense to use the FO1 engine for a total conversion.
I considered porting FO1 to the FO2 engine and adding missing stuff like the other gangs (vipers etc), but I wanted to create some brand new content. I actually have FO1 vault 13 area running in FO2 engine as an experiment.

(edit) taken out for ease of reading, if dude_obj wants it he'll ask for it, and he was probably looking for ideas on items, mini quests, etc...not main storyline.
-end idea
I like the idea of having branches. I know that coding for them is sometimes a huge pain, but it does increase the replay value. Match branching with FO's inherent replay value and you have something very nice.
edit: PS. I am impressed with your screen shots and am looking forward to the first chapter!

For a very brief demo, just to see these lizards, drop this PATCH000.DAT into your Fallout2 directory, start a new game, take a premade character, and wander over to the lizard pen. You cannot release the rats yet or do much else but the lizards do appear to have some real behavior.

Zero - the Name

Re: Zero - the Name
It's okay, I will pick a different name. My first mod idea was to be named desolation, but there is a mud called that. Its difficult to choose good post apocalyptic names that aren't already used somewhere! Thanks for the heads up.

No Problem,
the new community www.falloutnow.de has searched for a new name (after www.supermutant.de was shut down), maybe they have some ideas for you. Write a mail to projekt@falloutnow.de , he´s one of the admins.

Fallout: Genesis? Inception? Origin? Onset? Emergence? Rise of the Lizard? Square One? Lab Eight? Overture?
Dude_obj you return from the dead!
So this is what you have been making all this time in secrecy...interesting :kewlpics:
Whatever happened to the Fallout 'XP' mod? (or whatever it was called...the one with random items in shops and random loot?)
Edit: Oops! thanks for answering my PM...
I can't believe the mod was actually uploaded this whole time...
I never even suspected.

Trying to find some balance here ....
Looks splendid. (Didn't try the brief demo though, since I currently don't have the game installed). I'm really looking forward to seeing this evolve.
