Fallout 2161's website has gone live

[Eternal]

Some of you may recall about a year ago when this project was started under the name 'fallout3mod' well we have been making SOME headway but the project was put on hiatus until New Vegas was released as we felt that the changes implemented into NV would make us have to do less work (and we were right!)

So I just wanted to inform you that we have opened up the site to the public, there isn't much there and its relatively basic but feel free to post any suggestions or questions in our forum in regards to the mod.

"Fallout 2161 is a total conversion mod being developed for the New Vegas platform. The mod aims to rebuild Fallout 1's story and universe in its entirety."

Nice, good luck!

Are you absolutely sticking with FO1 or are you planning a few changes?

 

[Eternal]

We are going to stick as absolutely close to the original as possible. We of course have to take some creative liberties due to the fact the game is in first person rather than third person, but we want to see how close we can get it. (I've personally been trying to problem solve the issue of how to display the descriptive text for objects / people without having it disrupt play. Obviously we don't want to have the game pause and give you a snippet of text every time you look at something.)

Only things that made the final cut will be in the mod, so none of the stuff like the Vipers.

Looks promising. Out of interest, will you be making an entirely custom modelled Lost Hills bunker, or using a combination of New Vegas/original assets?

Like Fallout 1 with the newer Fallout games style? I love the sites Pip-Boy theme. The idea sure sounds sweet.

 

[Eternal]

Whenever possible we will be re-using existing assets to try and cut down on the amount of work required (which is still a HUGE amount.)

However if the asset doesn't feel right, or fit the original look we will be creating new ones. We don't want the game to look like we just dumped out a bunch of FO3 / NV lego bricks and tried to piece together FO1 and call it a day. We are being very careful in this regard.

I really hope this mod would happen. I doubt it, because huge projects like these very rarely get finished, but still... It's a cool idea and I'm really curious if you can pull it off.

I read some other posters comment that F3 has most of the assets that would be needed for a F1 mod. Are you incorporating some of the mods that recreate stuff like monsters and weapons and the like to save time?

What we have gotten permission to use and can convert to NV we will use, things we can't convert we'll recreate. There are already a number of "Classic" mods for NV that bring weapons, etc into the game and we will use these if permission is given and as appropriate.
