The Central hub ( Lore Idea )

Turtleoverlord · 2019-04-02T15:16:41.218Z

Well I had the idea to have an group that is an adversary to the old guard that isn’t really strong in new England but they could have their main HQ in a place like reaven rock or even make them a mix of US army/navy/air Force/coast guard special forces ,US Marines/Coast guard and even some places like NORAD,Raven rock, Sierra arms depot, Hawaii,area 51 or even turned the west coast in a giga safe zone similar the US government did in WORLD WAR Z

They could be like,fewer in numbers but with better training and gear they could be settled in a lab when you enter it you see some bois using stuff like power armor,RM13 and holding RIVTECH/LEADWORKS GEAR

They could have came to new England trying to get some purifier samples and trying to find a cure for the blob

Another ideas was to car stereos give you some advices like some guys have been using the satellites to broadcast information to survivors or even about air drops of some kind(like the free Earth radio in world war Z as it gave survivors all over the world advice and helped the government’s to broadcast air drop locations)

Well this are the crazy ideas for the lore,I think the old guard having competition in the other side of the country that came to new England to the labs(assuming new England have the labs that started the research with the nether and blob)

Are missile silos always robot controlled or are there any that randomly have been outfit by humans as a new base? Growing crops. A community, etc. Maybe a fence and some guards?

I always seem to fine them and they seem the same. Assuming nothing changed about those. Never found anything except robots trying to kill me inside.

Just change the game engine.

Mr.Denton · 2019-04-24T07:14:46.885Z

To what engine? Not that many good advance 2D engines around as far as i know

mlangsdorf · 2019-04-24T11:27:23.661Z

Actually, you can already set up dialogue effects that only trigger on the condition that so much time has passed since the Cataclysm, and dialogue effects can generate new maps and/or update existing maps, so it’s entirely possible to set this up now.

You could talk to the Old Guard Rep at the Refugee Center on day 366 of the Cataclysm and have a walled off city get silently spawned in some part of the map you haven’t seen.

Mr.Denton · 2019-04-24T12:18:57.803Z

Do you think we will see a engine change in the future? And if how long would such take to accomplish?

Junknown · 2019-04-24T15:19:50.347Z

Take a look at this thread:

Converting the game into using higher game engine, possible? The Bunker

i was thinking, what if someday there is one user in the forum with programming and game-making skill fully dedicated to convert this game into using higher game engine such as Dunia Engine (Far Cry’s game engine) or Unreal Engine (most AAA games used nowadays) ? is it possible? because i believe with enough code-tinkering and some skill in programming, every kind of games can be converted into any engine and thus will increase the game’s quality. but of course with its own risk. so… is it pos…

In short moving to a new engine is pretty much equal to starting from scratch.

Is there an all mutant faction at all? Or one in works? That would be kinda neat.

Junknown · 2019-04-24T17:31:04.648Z

As far as I know, no.

I think it would be a cool idea though and if you feel like contributing I think it would be welcome.

Slax · 2019-04-24T17:32:31.431Z

Livin’ with the CHUDs. Sewer mutant faction.
Sounds good to me.

Mr.Denton · 2019-04-24T17:37:50.766Z

Or they could have a base they spawn with, a little makeshift fort in the sewer, using debris and plants to build simple huts and barricades.

Now that would be good RP

Hof1993 · 2019-04-24T17:42:01.677Z

I wish knew even where to begin. I have no coding experiance at all

Junknown · 2019-04-24T17:49:00.767Z

Try this guide for starters. I haven’t kept up with the news of CDDA recently so I may be wrong, but IIRC adding a faction is doable in JSON and there has been lots of support to allow JSONised quests and NPC interactions lately.

Making a whole faction would probably be pretty tough for a first time contributer, but I guess it is doable if you are willing to see it through to the end.

Hof1993 · 2019-04-24T17:50:35.786Z

I look forward to reading this. After i pull this transmission out.

mlangsdorf · 2019-04-24T18:40:03.146Z

I-am-erk started by writing NPC dialogue. It’s not too hard.

Hof1993 · 2019-04-24T18:43:11.431Z

Cool …i have neat ideas for under ground monsters and some chud lore ideas like waste barrels and notes

Mantar · 2019-04-24T20:17:38.249Z

CHUDs could definitely use some love. The current implementation is clearly more CHUD II: Bud the Chud than the scary fast reptiloid things from the first movie, and they’re mostly just a nuisance because of that.

QuietCoyote · 2019-04-24T20:30:55.335Z

A state to take as seriously as saying “change the gas tank because the tank isn’t full”.

Hof1993 · 2019-04-24T21:43:11.209Z

Yes the second movie was horrible. They could have done so much with this monster.

Mantar · 2019-04-25T16:31:25.004Z

Yeah, from what I’ve heard the second film was going to follow on from the first, but then a good chunk of the budget they expected fell through, and they had to scale back to just putting some makeup on people’s eyes and going all camp.
