By:

ZombieUK - with major help from

Vereena - creating interiors using Vanilla components,

johnjohnston - he'll be using custom Meshes! :D

KDStudios - for the Green Enclave Lights


Not advisable if you use Fallout 3 Reanimated cos the dornes when equipping their pistol anim weps, will look stupid. I don't use Fallout 3 reanimated due to personal taste... (looks a tad unconformable running with your weapon right next to your waist etc so BLEH)

UPDATE- 24/5/2010
ATTENTION: All is well now as Me CPU is fixed. Just need feedback from people on this mod please (:

Another small but worthwhile update + small fix that adds Dae Jones Bionic Eye Pieces, a Borg version of the Chinese Stealth suit with full cloaking Capability and forgot to mention a male version of a Borg Race Body texture

Followed the instructions on recoloring The Pitt Diseased Race version (I used Breeze's f03 males Diseased Texture for it) Hope I'm not breaking any rules... I should have made the file use Pitt stuff so I will do next version ok?

Its incomplete and needs a talented hand to complete it. Righty Oh. Thats it really, enjoy.

UPDATE: 21/5/2010

Updated another file + Pics to show what I been up to, following Vereena's advice about adding More Wires'n'stuff as well as Adding KDStudio's Green Enclave Light resource. Ask him if you wish to have them as a Modder's Light resource.

I added new drones, New Armor ( Recon Armor MKII - Borg Edition) KD's Green Enclave lights and generally Borgy-fied The Central Plexus interior.(More wires, idle markers etc)

I have attempted to add a second interior but There was a large Bug with that and well at the time, I have been doing a lot of work and felt tired.

So I'm asking people if they could create a Skeleton Interior (Again) using My Borg Colletive.esp, Pm me and send it to me via e-mail or upload it on the Nexus. Ya don't have to of course but would solve the probs for me. Just a skeleton Interior With Nav-mesh would do, I'll work around the machinery, furniture etc.

Thanks and enjoy this Update. Also I seriously want to get these Drones to speak with Resistance is futile. The sounds are in the folder but not added to the Drones Voices. Somebody do that for me? I tried but still failed

Recon Armor MK II

by lautasentenni: Permission has been happily given.

ON MY TO DO LIST: add custom pipboy images, add armor effects like Radiation resistance, various Wep resistance, +2 ST, +2 PE from the Targeters and STILL somehow make them Walk and talk. also more interiors..... somehow. AND the all important Borg Race - New Skin tone etc.

Ill make a Borg Race using the Infected Race from The Pitt, using Breezes template of course. Just need to find some time
(family life are bitching cos I spent to much time on me CPU creating this Mod recently.) ah well should be Fun!

PLAY SAFE (:

Enjoy.

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

UPDATE:20/5/2010

Just uploaded a Update + Fix of the Mod that adds Gopher's Adv Recon Armor + targeters but they have slightly different Textures That I will Work Upon. Check the Images to see them (: Also I know I should add effects to the armors + targeters e.g Energy weps Immunity, + 2 to Strength Radiation resistance + 2 to Perception on the Targeters etc But I Simply don't know how yet.

Could somebody tell me how? Thank yous and Enjoy! Should have another file uploaded later today with More Borg Interiors and Lighting (thanks again KD!)

Hopefully this also will add a completely New Cybernetic Race based upon Borg Skin. It would be Gray and have shades of gray skin pigmentation. Look at the Real Borg Drone image for details.

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

UPDATE: 20/05/2010

In this update I added Gopher's Adv Recon Armor + Targeter Night Vision headgear for more variety and proper Head stuff
These Headgear are THE Best Borg Style headstuff I found so far and Gopher has Graciously Agreed to permit Me to Use them In This Mod. I have so far created My Own textures using his as a template tho like I said, My skills at texturing are basic and still shit as crap :(

Adv. Recon Armor by Gopher: HERE

I also added Colossus targeters by Daejones (:

Hopefully I will be able to add: THIS

Recon Armor MKII by lautasentenni - just waiting for a reply to use it.

This is the First Release of My Attempt of The Borg Collective in Fallout 3.

This adds The Borg to the Game as well as, I'm Guessing a chance for people to experience the Borg or at least my feeble attempt at the Borg.

In Megaton, by the Player House, you should find an Enclave Style Door to a Test Cell, a Borg Cube Central Plexus. Its just a Copy of the Control Room where you meet President Edan with green Lights and added control Consoles. Gives a good Borg atmosphere I think. Try it Out!

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT! I need your feedback.

+---:()

I'm now using (24/5/2010) Dae Jones's Bionic Eye Pieces: HERE
- just to add variety to the Drones so that its not just Targeter style eye pieces... Will hopefully be using Solid Eyes next version by Scorp.

I'm using Meshes and Textures from TOXA's Nano Suit - Permission has been given and all textures and meshes are included as it doesn't affect the nano armor in any way - Credits Go to TOXA01

For Eye pieces, I'm using Targeters found about on the Nexus. The Targeting System - by zer0morph

And the Colosssus Headgear by DaeJones

I am also using Ashara's Batman Suit mesh for the basis of a tactical Drone. Currently now I am using the same texture for the Nano Armor Borg Suit but I will retexture that.
Ashara's Batman and Catwoman Outfits

Ashara states that anybody can use this in his mod as long as I give Credit witch I am doing right now as I type this sentence (:

Ill add more stuff.
Ideally I'd like to add the Mantis Manga Scouter and also the Solid Eye from The Solid Snake Scorpion Sneaking Suit Mod. Like the Red LED (:

For the Glowing Eyes, Im using THIS - By Kikaimegami

Its free so I can use it to my will. The Versions I'm Using are glowing Iris ones as They are much more dynamic than The full blown Glowie Goa'Uld Eyed "I am your flipping God" Routine xD

For Arm pieces, Im currently using THIS - By rjtwins

Borg Drones don't usually use Energy Weapons, preferring to use Brute Force and Superior numbers to overwhelm and disable their victims.

They also have personal Shields similar to the Zeta Alien Shields but I want to have a simple green shield with no warpy effects... A cloak field would be nice but as a second skin. I'm sure you have an idea what I mean.

The Arm weapons will have plasma bolts as the Borg in Star Trek Elite Force used Green energy bolts so ill go for that.

How would I manage to make these Borg Walk instead of Run? I thought about going over their weight limit as the Player would do (unable to Run if over weight limit) but doesn't work. Any ideas? The Borg like to take their time when attacking. Drones tend to walk Briskly towards you instead of running, don't ask me why, probably due to all that bully cybernetic armor. How would you make the Drones Walk when they attack you, even from a Distance?

I will somehow add Custom voices, ie. Drones will say, "Resistance is futile" and "You will be Assimilated".

I don't exactly know how to do that, could somebody tell me how to? I did try to add dialogue but failed miserably.

ATTENTION: The files contain .wav and .ogg Borg dialogue files in the sound/ voice part, if somebody could add that to the drones then I shall be very happy. Thanks to KDStudios for that too.

For a Borg Environment, Enclave Base interiors would be of course perfect. Just I dunno how to create a interior from Scrap except from duplicating an Interior e.g Raven Rock.I would prefer to start from Scratch but Need help with that.

I'll add some story as I go along. I'll "try" and keep it lore Friendly e.g " Enclave Goons come across some Device in the wasteland but get assimilated when they take it back to one of their bases"

Anyone can Help me as I really could do with some help. Just PM or comment your desire to help. (:

STay Tuned!

I assure You - Resistance to this Mod Will be Pretty Much Futile. (:

Zombie.

REQUIREMENTS:

+ The base game (Fallout 3) +

Soon I will be incorporating
Mothership Zeta (Obviously cos its in Space),

Operation Anchorage (Chinese Stealth Suit retex),

Maybe Broken Steel cos might use some of the Mobile Base Crawler Clutter for more environment stuff

And Ill see about Point Lookout and The Pitt to see what They have to offer in the way of resources But dunno yet.

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

Planned content + gameplay

I would prefer to have custom meshes + Textures e.g a Borg regeneration Alcove as that would truly add to the unique-ness of the Mod. So far I just plan to gussy up a Protectron tube thubgy with Wires and things sticking out of it but wouldn't be as effective.

Story + Quests

Ill add some story and quest somehow... ideas? Gimme ideas! leave a comment of your Idea!

People are More than welcome to create Borg Interiors as I could use the extra levels. I want to create a huge Borg interior feel that imitates a Borg Cube (a Square Space Ship that is about 5 miles across). I just don't know how to create from Scratch except copying an existing Interior and there are only 4 Enclave Style Levels in the Base Game (Raven Rock?)

Anyhow lets see how it goes. Ah yes, I do want to create a Leveled List of Drones who Spawn with random pieces of headgear, weapons and Armor like raiders do but I'm unsure exactly how to proceed. Should be simple enough as I'll just copy an existing leveled list, rename it and change its spawn contents. I'll find it out soon enough. Perhaps you could save me the hassle? PM me if you can do it faster.

OK Phew.... HURRY UP AND DOWNLOAD IT!!!! I want to see Peoples Screen Shots!
