Serious Fallout New Vegas RR

Belowthebelt Belowthebelt who else could we expect here to propose such an RR? Shanaro's ghost stalks among us, along with those cursed words

why is woman bouncing on my lap?!

In all seriousness, Fallout is actually a fun setting for RP, but why limit yourselves to NV? There's plenty other options out there. Cascadia, Texas etc.

While I am semi retired from Gmod RP until you believe in a god that satisfies, I would be happy to spend some time brainstorming with you on a setting, overall arc that works for folk etc.
 
Don’t make me have to throw you off Hoover Dam Mr. Bagel™ Mr. Bagel™ . Just a little update too, been working on a Google doc to get things ironed out and waiting on admins to get back to me. If anyone wants to help out running things behind the scenes or have ideas for events reach out to me.
 


I'm glad to hear people are still interested in this and if the team want to go ahead and make it a possibility for the future I'd be up for running it. I think this would take quite some organisation to pull-off but as we've seen from ZRP, it wouldn't be too hard.

At the time, this fell into the dust and then my departure from this community put this on hold indefinitely. I'd be happy to make this a possibility if the team can get behind it, support in setting this up workshop wise as I've never done that before and I can get developer assistance to make sure the script/mods work well.

Could you elaborate on what this would require from a development perspective? Think basic script features like what scoreboard teams the gamemode should categorize players into, what if any setting-unique weapons and clothing would be required, what unique non-human species need to be playable, etc. Feel free to also include any new features that would be required to make this work.

Models and other content from the workshop will be needed. I noticed you already picked a map and put together some other addons and prop packs which is great, but is that all the Fallout-specific content you'd need? Please let me know if you need any help putting together the rest of the proposal's collection.
 
adding onto the above; do you anticipate any significant need (or space) for custom model assets? i can provide those obviously, but for projects like this it helps to get a sense for the scale and scope of development necessities - especially projects with a distinct aesthetic identity like fallout, where canned generic assets won't quite cut it

he sent a forum PM to us a little under a year ago for his dev needs/synopsis before he decided to step away for a while, should invite stray and somedude to that Belowthebelt Belowthebelt (that is if you have the same idea for how you would want to do it)
 
For realsies though I think Fallout RP would actually breathe some new life into the place and attract people in the mood for something else. I would even go so far as to say, fuck the RR idea and go for something iteration wise. A lotta times this has been brought up I've seen people be all "well we would but it invites erp/poor rp/etc." and look I hate shitty stuff as much as anyone else but ya gotta take risks if you wanna grow chief.

I know I usually get my opinion discarded because I yap about whatever, but to be genuinely serious here. Constantly swapping between the same settings over and over isn't gonna breed success. Good to bring back classics but goddamn let's try some new stuff.

To kinda double down, this is coming as someone who's incredibly passionate about Fallout and New Vegas especially as a setting. Not only did I grow up with it, I escaped with it in a pretty troubled upbringing. While I'm certainly not the most passionate fallout fan or the most passionate new vegas fan, I GUARANTEE there's people here and can be attracted to Fallout RP with way more passion than what I'm yapping with here. People who can breathe some life here. Because common misconception is Gmod's dying when nah man it's just condensing. You still get new blood.

But yeah no seriously even on the dev side, there's already a shitload of fallout assets on the workshop and have been there for YEARS. Sure obviously it takes work and time I mean for god's sake ZRP as an RR alone has so much impressive work put into it. But why just only leave that for an RR? Why not lock in for a proper iteration?

Along with the fact that serious, text based roleplay seems to be pretty rare on the fallout rp side of things. I think this can honest to god work as a long form.
 
If you want this to happen my advice is to pull a team together and work out the specifics and then propose it to the CL's here. Don't wait for or assume the team will get behind it, put together people you trust or think are a good fit and work from there. Once that's done you can leverage the resources the community offers when it comes to development, server space and forums etc.

The only way RR's happen are if you push your proposal hard enough.
