Fallout Revolutionary War Mod. (Dead)

[Zenny]

FRWM is officially dead.

I saved the original post in a np++ document, so don't worry about that.

I decided that until I and I alone does something with FRWM, then it will remain closed. I feel that the people who are working on FRWM are being taken advantage of when I have done nothing to contribute to my own mod. So until I do, FRWM will remain dead until I do some heavy preliminary work on it by myself. I will start by delving into scripitng to a deeper level, as well as learn more modeling. Thank you all for your short-lived support of FRWM.

(Don't lock this thread staff, as I will use this post for updates.)

Just a suggestion, but perhaps making the British rifle a retextured hunting rifle instead of a Chinese assault rifle. Because for one, they're pretty rare (given it's a Chinese weapon). And two, it doesn't seem like a good image (in my head at least) to have British soldiers running around in old school looking uniforms, holding Ak's.

I have a few other suggestions :

- Perhaps some type of British merchant looking to profit off the war. He could be wealthy, sell British arms, give a bit of back story on the state of the UK, and he could just wear something like a slightly re-textured Tempenny's outfit.

- Maybe the British could send out their own robots (like captured Eyebots or something) that play a radio station that plays British patriotic music and propaganda saying how the US belongs to them.

- If you get someone who's really good with scripting, you could try to add an optional objective where you try to get that one Protectron who think's he's a revolutionary hero to lend his robots to help your side. (He'd probably be really up for that one)

- Perhaps get someone to make a modern looking calvary saber for the British sword, because again, Chinese weapons don't make that much sense in mass use by the British.

- The British should also have some type of elite "heavy" troop or something that sports more heavy weapons and armor. I'm not saying like fat man's or anything, just like mini guns or grenade launchers.

 

Oh, also I just saw this mod, maybe the author would let you use it in your mod (it'd be a cool weapon for a general or something) http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55259/?

A Lee Enfield rifle would be good I think.



I haven't used these mods so I can't vouch for them, but here are a couple I found on Nexus:

Lee Enfield No 4

Lee Enfield Mk 1

A Lee Enfield would be perfect !

I was thinking about a British merchant, but maybe not caps. Would caps be standardized internationally? I think not. But I like the revolutionary robot. Id be up to changing the weapons, just the assault rifles were fillers.

Perhaps you could use a Retextured Pre-War Money or NCR money. The only way to get it would be by killing and looting British Soldiers, or looting their areas.

Good idea. Ill add that to the new items list.

I added a Changelog ;)

Even though i love this idea for a mod I am confused as why the British Army use old fashioned uniforms that weren't used for more than half a millennium , specially in a dangerous post apocalyptic world where everything wants to murder and have you as a snack and many of the weapons available can cut through even many armors like butter.

I would think they would wear something similar to the British Army No.8 uniform, which can be used with a body armor, combat helmet, and they come with different camouflage patterns depending where the troops are to be deployed (like desert, jungle, urban, etc.)

@Risewild because its Fallout they don't have to put any logic into there armor (Nearly naked raiders, leather armor STILL IN USE, ect) . But a modern armor would make more since, but the theme of this mod is to give players a vibe of the American Revolution. But if more people agree with you that they should go all modern, ill change it.
