TTWInteriors Mojave express boxes

Post by **chucksteel** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 6:08 pm

I'm in the process of adding Mojave Express boxes to TTWInteriors I know I'm adding one in Boulder City, Megaton and Tenpenny tower. (Note the FO3 locations will not be activated until you have made you way to NV) but I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas on good places to add them in DC or even NV.

Thought?

Do boxes named "Mojave Express" even make sense in DC? It seems like they should be renamed, "DC Express" or "Pony Express" or something...

I was going to use Capital Express but I like Pony Express much better. thanks!

You could add one to Rivet City (probably on the outside ramp)

Megaton of course.

Bigtown ? I'm not too sure they rate one but they do get water from the BoS after project purity

Canterbury Commons deserves one since they are a trade hub.

Wouldn't it make sense for GNR to have one ?

I like Rivet City and Canterbury Commons I'll have to think about the rest.

The Citadel (possibly)

Girdershaid (Possibly)

Bigtown (I don't think so)

Arafu (I don't thing so)

Lincoln Manorial (No, to many supermutants to get through)

Paradise Falls (No, they would just slave out the messengers!)

While you're at it, I'd like to help build out the framework of the dropboxes and lets see if we can't make them easily extensible so anyone can add a dropbox anywhere and just master your mod. Might not be possible if you don't want to use NVSE though, so might make it as a standalone addition, but work with you to make it fully compatible from the start.

sounds good grib I just looked at the original quest for the boxes and could tell how they added them. I had to edit three scripts and one message. do a search in GECK for MojoveExpress and you see the ones I changed.

Edit: I'm having one minor issue when you find one of my new boxes the first time you activate it it doesn't show Boulder City, Tenpenny or, Megaton. (If you have already found them) You have to close the window and activate it again to get the new locations. Not sure why!

That idea sounds great . I wont be adding locations since people already said pretty much all I thought of .

Now what would be cool too would have a small building somewhere that was the Pony Express Office or something like that with just one or two NPCs just so it would explain the boxes .

Hit another snag! you can only have 9 lines in a message box so I was only able to add Boulder city Megaton ant tenpenny to the list of places to ship to.

I may set up the pony express boxes as there own quest and as Rise suggested have a central pony express office that can ship between both games.

With NVSE you can easily make menus that go on forever (they have next and previous buttons in them). Gribs offered to help you set it up and that is one way to do it. Another option would be to have a "box" on the train that can be shipped to and accessed from either wasteland. So you can't ship stuff across the country, but you can ship it to the train and ride the train across country.
