So yeah, I've been messing around with SDK now. And found many possibilities and sources of fun.

I found a way to expand the fun, but I need help from you guys.

Required skills:

1. Someone who can make maps (I already know a few candidates.)

2. Someone who could modify the engine a bit. (Hard)

3. All of you, roleplaying.

Here you can post some ideas if you want. Most important thing first is the maps. I will explain my wish in the next post.

Internetz :/ Delete please.

Some of my ideas:

1. One map, with different areas in it though. A traders house, activities. Everything you could possibly imagine in one town.

2. The map would be not too futuristic, and not too tribalish. I suggest some place like Broken Hiis, same kinds of houses and stuff. They fit in a small city.

3. I now know various stuff in admin side. I think I got it all handled pretty well now. That means that I can spawn stuff, scenery, edit your stats and stuff. Only big RP thing which I don't know how to do is changing skin. Maybe it's scripted in 2238, but not in TLA.

if you can specify a lil bit im sure i could make a map for you. I dont know how much u know about the mapper but he is of course very limited.
Its a lil bit like painting in MS Paint with oddly large pixel size.

In other word u can generate random places but u have problems with unique things. For example i wouldnt be able to make an arc like in new reno and change details of it. The arc in new reno consists of about 20 parts you have to set in the right order.

Another thing is (you might know that) that fallout is limited to 1 level buildings. There are some (very few) buildings that seem to have multiple levels but they are pretty few.

Im still learning about the mapper but it seems to me right know that some items that u can place in the maps have already functions u cannot change. For example if you place a workbench somewhere it will work automatically as a workbench. Im not able to make a table that serves as a workbench.

I worked a lil bit with inculding NPCs in my maps and this particular thing seems to be very easy. But i have problems with loading new dialogs into the mapper. I usually reuse some of the already present.

Hope this few pointers help :)
and as is said, u just have to specify how u like the map and ill love to make one.

Ah yeah. I missed a lot in this. It would be very good to talk about this in real time chat. Join IRC dammit. And now please.

my employer the rat refuses to give me rights to install things on my work pc -.-

u know if there is any way to join irc via a browser ? like icq 2 go ?

Irc2go works. CMON WAITING FOR YA

fuking firewall doesnt let me out :(
guess we have to use the board or ull have to wait till 4 o clock in Germany.

Nah no rush, I'm kinda busy now too. We'll talk later, maybe discuss with others too^^ I'll try to explain my ideas later on.

yeah yeah ...
