About this image

Hello, everyone. 

I was wondering, if it "might" be possible if someone would be kind enough, as to attempt to recreate the now lost Hologram mod?

It was orginally uploaded to the Fallout New Vegas Nexus, unfortunately. For some unknown reason, it was taken down. Personally, I would "love" to get my hands on a mod like this. I probably should've made a copy of the mod, but oh well. Haha, in any event. If anyone has the skill, or is willing to make the attempt, I would be personally very, very grateful to have it back. I cannot, devote time and resources into actually making it myself. As I'm already swamped with work for my own projects, also overwhelmed with real life affairs, add my day job on top of all that and I just don't have the ability to recreate something like this, at least not on my own.

So, this is essentially a mod request, as I mentioned prior. I am working on a few different projects, all of which. I would love to add this particular mod to them. As, I do believe it used to be a modders resource, at one point or another. I personally cannot imagen any of my mods without this one, they would feel incomplete, the holograms are an essential piece to the puzzle I am forging. I have a substantially great use, for them. In any event, I hope you find it in yourself, to tackle this challenging objective.

    I personally would love a mod that added hologram characters to the wastes, potentially as companions? Hey, maybe just make Vera a companion as a hologram? Could get into some real metaphysics stuff with what it's like to be one. (Beyond what you're asking, I know. Just dreaming.)

      Me and StrykZ joked once about a mod, that allows you to summon holograms to basically distract enemies in the wasteland. Make them do like a hula dance or something, to attract their attention while you maneuver into a tactical firing position. While, perhaps stertegically effective in a combat situation, it'd also be extreamly hilarious. A holographic companion you can summon and or deactivate whenever you want does sound really interesting! I like your ideals, Mystery.

      Wish I had the ability to excute them. Unfortunately, I'm to noob to make scripts. I know I said I'm busy, which is true. But I could make time if I wanted, that's just me making excuses. To my credit though, I did take a look into bringing this mod alive. I attempted to replicate the hologram scripts from the TSC Moon Base mod, with extreamly little sucess. Bottom line, I "really" suck at scripting. :P

      I definitely understand, very much. Time is limited. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have the time.

      Unwillingness, is perhaps one of humanity's greatest weaknesses, at times. Credit where it's due, though. I am devoting a vast majority of my time to one mod in particular. It's certainly ressurected home amongest the MZC Community, that's for sure. I hope to make everyone proud, when it's released.

      Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact name of the mod, least not right off the top of my head. I DO know that fLokii was the author of the mod.

      Haha, it's alright. Thanks for the comment Ch1s0g. And hey, if you could bring back that mod. I'd be internally grateful to you! One request, however? Could you make it to where they could be ported over to Fallout 3? I REALLY need them for a mod I'm devloping! Also, Mr7digit could use them for his mods.. Hell, we all need them back! Humanity is lost without the holograms! ):

      Awesome, and hey. Send me a private message anyway. I have a proposition for you, well.. More like a donation. Anything to make that mod a possibility again.

    What did the hologram mod do, exactly?

      It's essentially an Actor Effect for NPCs, makes them appear as Holographic programs, or at least it did.

    isn't is as simple as adding a shader to a npc ?
    add the hologram shaders to fiends and stuff and they're all holograms.

      I just consoled in existing hologram NPCs, my area of expertise is quite limited when it comes to things like this. Although, I have a feeling if this was so simple, someone would've already made an existing mod similar to it.
