FO3 : J3Xified Driveable Motorcycle by J3X original mod by VeliV http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6005 FNV : J3Xified Driveable Motorcycle by J3X original mod by VeliV (ported by Fee510) http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40571/ Advanced J3XMotorcycle by VeliV for FO3 mod and improved by invalidfate http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40645/ J3xMotorcycle Companion Fix by TeknOmegA http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/45180/ They're the first modders to be praised pleast, please endorse their mods first Mine? I think I don't deserve it now at least ============================== 1. First Thing You Should Know ============================== THIS REQUIRES !!NVSE!! AS FORMER MODS DID mm.. sorry for poor English, ahem.... Me don't live in US or UK This is legendly J3X MOTORCYCLE!!!... retweaked As you know It was ported to FNV then advanced, and then there was a bugfix too. Very awesome mod indeed but I felt it deserves more tweak as I reading down the comments on the mod. I'm just a mod beginner but anyway grab it and tweaked in some degree with trials and errors. But to tell truth, I didn't get the permission... and dunno howto -_-;; When I try to send 'em message to get permission, nexus told me that I can't send 'em. (WHYYYY ?!?!) and the mod's authors don't seem to be active these days. If that will be a problem, I'll remove it. so just tell me quick please? ============================= 2. CHANGED? Yes, here it goes ============================= a. Changed motorcycle's biped object from backpack to necklace So you don't need to forcibly unequip any backpack, yay! the first FNV ported mod by Fee510 used 'nose ring' as motorcycle's biped object. And when you tries to ride, you could ride it with forewheel raised high like a real man, But oh.. the forewheel never got down then Invalidfate's improved version tweaked it so nicely with spining wheel and tilt motion. And oh.. its biped object was backpack. And you will know this forces backpack you wearing to be unequiped. But I believe that was his best choice. At first I returned biped object to nose ring and edited its mesh, and it seemed to be fit well but it was wrong. when ride companion's motorcycle turned its head to player as companion turned their head to the player by headtracking mechanism. so my final choice got to be using 'necklace' as biped object and edited the mesh once more. Now you don't need to unequip your backpack, at least. b. Returned its style to lore-friendlism, No fast travel Implemented. Plus, tweaked Long Haul perk I'm kinda no cheat player and I like Fee510's first porting because of lore-friendly. Fee510 redistributed motorcycle to the Mojave's suitable places and upgrade items to some merchants. But Advenced version omited them a bit and introduced cheatish item called 'Motorcycle Caller'. So in this case, I returned it to Fee510's but didn't changed merchent's inventory. Instead, I added some recipes for making upgrade items beacuse treating merchant's inventory may lead you to make merger patch and I wanted to avoid that. And for anti-cheat's sake, I implemented no fast travel as you can travel moderatly fast with this motorcycle. Take a ride!! But you may have a question... What about Long Haul, eh??? Answer is... I changed the perk into 'Easy Rider' perk. you get the 'Motorcycle Caller' by gaining that perk. It has same condition as Long Haul perk but has same image too -_-;; Can someone support with suitable .dds file? I'd appreciate that :) c. Revived two functions - collision and detonation As I studied the mod's script I've found that two function and made it usable again. Collision - When you crash with max speed, you will dismount and fall to the ground. I added a script line to make back-seated companion also fall. Detonation - you can abandon your motocycle and throw it to your enemies as a bomb by pressing 'backspace' this feature wasn't realistic beacuse thrown motorcycle slowly fled straghit like a missile So I added grenade-like physics and debris after explosion. And of course, you will lose your motorcycle and it's storaged items as well. Just use when you got struck into danger d. Armed Motorcycle now uses ammo!! Two fomer version's Armed motorcycle was so deadly and didn't required any ammo. We could say it's a cheat Now Motorcycle will use its required ammo. No ammo? No fire! Just get some ammo (5mm, Flamer fuel, ECP, Missle... only standard type) to Motocycle's storage (the storage has its weight limit!!) and firearm will use them. =============== 3. INSTALLATION =============== a. Download Advanced J3X motorcycle by Invalidfate and install that first http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40645/ b. Download mine then extract somewhwew c. It contains 2 files one is .esp, another is .nif copy .esp to FNV's 'Data' folder then overwrite .nif file should be copied to Data/Meshes/J3x/Motorcycle, overwrite it too (I dunno how to make FOMOD.. Sorry for your inconvenience) d. activate .esp and ride!! ============== 4. FUTURE PLAN ============== a. Fuel system For the realism... maybe the motorcycle will use flamerfuel as ammo and Gas Tank Boosting will consume more fuel b. add destruction data to world motorcycle object c. retweak Speed-O-Meter To display more information (fuel,ammo,etc...) I don't know how to make HUD & XML & MCM script. kinda newbie:( So using Speed-O-Meter is the best way I can choose d. and any bugs I can handle... Maybe these will take some time I'm not yet fully understanded the former mods and there's more trial and errors to face but I'll just hit Helps will be appreciated!!!!
