As an addition the items that spawn should include the flavour items from f2 like sunglasses and inflatable doll etc.

Yeh, I already suggested that. :P
I think the game is general lacking some "useless" items in general, like you said "flavor ones".
Even crafting such things would make me a very happy carebear. :)

Also, it HAS been years since i played fallout 1 or 2, but didnt they have random encounters with tents/buildings ?
Those would be ideal for item spawns also, however im sure some big faction players with 100k+ caps and fully equipped supermutant henchmen would disagree
because of the low tier item floods, but for some loners like me (who also do prefer being loner, or in small small group) using crappy items and scavenging
just might be fun.

Just because some rich and well geared players disagree doesnt mean its crappy function, because there are always noobs and people
who dont do alting or exploits of any kind (they ruin the fun imo), who would be happy finding the tv dinner, sunglasses or mauser.
Atleast i used to enjoy scavenging places, and usually i limited taking any of the high end armors etc also because they broke the fun.

*EDIT* also adding stuff like those small shelves etc to urban landscapes etc would also be nice, and that way lowbies would actually have options instead of just shoveling shit to get a weapon and risk losing it to a pker the second they step outside. and why not even some mid level people who happened to get pked...or just for the hell of it.

main idea is very nice

negative votes allways argument with "thats for noobs"

dunno what a "noob" is..

its some strange pet?
what does a "noob" do?
exploring? getting xp?
visit new places and situations?
having fun with the game?

what is after this life as "noob"?
he would became a powerbuild and see allways his base and a unguarded town in tc mode sometimes?

i wonna stay a noob then. and be able to find random shit in all places.
random spawned items can tell you nice storys ey.. you just have to listen carefully ^^

I vote YES!!! I am absoloutly for, just some minor changes so it doesn't become something... well anyway, It would be way more fun then farming some guys secret stash he hid there like it was a tent (actually I did this 2 times in Hub, I'm quite sure that he is very angry right now).
@LagMaster: Rocket Launcher? Minigun? Books? Remember that Rocet Launcher, mininun are proffesion items and Books can only be bought in the library, why would these stuff just lie in some barrel?

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

Well, LagMaster is quite wrong. Laser Pistols spawning randomly in SF ?

Here is how I see it. Every item has an equal chance to be spawned.

37.5% : Misc
  • "Useless" items (Flare, Old Shovels, Dolls, cats paw, dust, etc.).
  • Caps (from 20 to 100 caps at once).

37.5% : Crafting items

25% : Weapons & Ammo. Powerful weapons aren't spawned. Rare weapons aren't either (I consider the Pipe Rifle to be quite rare, for example).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A more complicated system would be to set four different spawnscripts, for 4 areas. Items in each area would be different.

Edit : But it would be abuseable, as Surf Solar said below. /Erased/

So much weapons. What's with that? Why not metal parts, junk, food items, tools etc?

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

I wouldn't go for different spawning areas. Make it absoludiddely random. So that it's everytime a surprise. :)
And to prevent "hm, I go and scavenge the town for some weaponry" "where?" "hm in Klamath" OMG y00 n00b ther iz just shit stuff!!1111 better goez to area XY because on Izuals list there is much better stuff there!!111" ;)

Hmm, you got a point Surf Solar. What's awarded should be exploration, not farming.

Well, there are ? Look above.

I like the random minidungeon caves, maybe if they were less empty people would explore them more.

Sure, it's not right thread about caves, but I'd to suggest put a CD on non-empty caves, but make them more attractive.
