I looked for one and couldn't find a decent one, so I think I'll make one. I'll need a lot of help, as I have no experience with making mods (let alone for NV).

Basically I just noticed that it's practically a ZA game waiting to happen - it has hunger, water, fatigue, tons of weapons, weapon customization, a full-fledged companion system, etc.; it's halfway towards SCZ already (past it in some regards) it just needs a little work.

Here's what I'm thinking:
  • zombies (no, really?)
  • zombies have a decent chance of infecting somebody when they (successfully) attack
  • make more buildings that you can walk in
  • recruit whoever (they have to like you)
  • mess with a lot of peoples stats, skills, etc (to make them more recruit-worthy)
  • make more people
  • do a more SCZ base type thing?
  • possibly do an oblivion vampire type thing (so you can get infected too)
  • make the infection curable?
  • leave the zombie speed/animations how they are (I believe there is a mod to make them shamble, so why reinvent the wheel?)
  • possibly leave the factions (Caesar's legion, etc.) how they are (they should be fine)


Anywho, I was wondering what kind of support/help I could mooch from here. I'm currently getting the GECK up and running, help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a winner.
 
EDIT:
Nevermind, the Bethesda site is built by monkeys on LSD at typewriters.

Here's the good GECK download.

I mostly do websites so i code a lot of php/js/etc,
but im a fast learner. so.... help is offered :)
 
OK so I'm working on getting the infection working properly, and I'm not sure what the difference between "Reduce <ability>" and Damage <ability>" is, and how I should do this.
