[..]maybe you should make that raiders.slavers,regulators to drop their armor sometimes like 1/4 regulators in encounter to drop their armor.Could make the game more realistic.Even in Van Buren,Fallout 3,Fallout NV,Fallout 1 you could get their armors(well Fallout 1 at the raiders base)

Personally I'd wondered about NPCs dropping bits of broken armour (i.e. metal parts or leather parts) which you can then craft into armours, or use to repair armours - same with guns really - metal parts or gun parts or something - it'd make sense to build / repair a gun with 5 half-broken guns, or to make / repair a leather armour by stitching together lots of armour pieces you'd scavenged.

Makes sense in my mind. I think that could be done, but after all devs got da last word, mon.

Don't you use the table encounter editor from Fallout2 ? (worldmap.txt)
(need to know if Fallout editing knowledge is usefull for fonline editing)

[Lexx]

No. FOnline: 2238 uses a totally new, written from scratch, encounter system + world editor. Everyone who by choice edits encounters via worldmap.txt seems to have too much free time.

On a similar note.

I got into an encounter recently in an urban environment and I got an idea.
Sometimes in Urban maps you get certain objects appearing; for instance the Nuka Cola machines or Bluesuited skeletons. I was wondering whether it would be possible to make objects like these have a chance of dropping correlating items when searched. Not to the extent where they could be farmed like junk but to the point where there is a incentive to take a deeper look around the map rather than just looking for junk and moving on.

Just a related idea, possibly incredibly hard to implement.

Bluesuit skeletons dont drop junk? However i like the idea of such things giving away items, like nuka cola or water flasks.

Bluesuit skeletons dont drop junk?

Last time I checked you couldn't even open up any sort of 'loot table' (though I think the one just outside the unopened Vault can be looted. I'm pretty sure I looked in him once and found brahmin dung ). I think that every other skeleton is just like the Nuka Cola machines they can only be inspected at this point of time.

[Grommok]

Oh. Well then giving water flasks or 10mm guns (nothin' too powerful) wont be a such terrible idea, like givin' Nuka Cola Machines some spare nuka colas, and broken, unusable cars (with the use of Repair) the ability to drop metal parts, or broken motor parts, that can be used to maintain a working car.

All that sounds great. It would be great if tampering with cars and other objects got you a bit of experience so that levelling up isn't so focused on combat. They would have to have cooldowns to balance them I guess.

[Grommok]

Well, technically crafting gives some exp, so do first aid and doctor, so why not givin' exp to repair too?
