Description: Allows the player to enter or exit Vault 87 through the front door once the player has access via the main quest.
This is my first released mod, hope you like it! Please let me know if you find any bugs.
NOTE: I've created another mod to fix a bug (not caused by this mod) that fires all vanilla followers except Fawkes when re-entering Vault 87 after that part of the main quest. The mod is located here, and should make it safe to venture into Vault 87 again: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2197
What this does:
1. Modified the wooden door on the exterior cell above Vault 87 to make it accessible, and linked it to the interior cell Test Labs. Vanilla was just an inaccessible door.
2. Added a cave ramp and wooden door to the interior cell Test Labs within Vault 87, just outside the main vault door. The wooden door leads outside to the above door. Vanilla allowed you to open the main door but you were staring into the void and could walk off the edge.
3. Added some control panels and modifed the main door so now you have to use the control panels to open the door, and you can only open it if you've reached the part of the main quest where you would have access to the door in vanilla Fallout 3.
4. Added a radiation field beside the interior wooden door. If you can survive the trip to the door, it should be no problem, but I just thought it didn't make sense for a little wooden door to completely block the mega-radiation from coming through. Also, it gives you a bit of warning before you step outside and insta-die from 1000+ rad/sec.
Version Changes:
1.2
- Fixed the NavMesh so companions will follow you from outside to inside and vice versa
1.1
- Fixed a bug that would cause part of the main vault door to disappear, letting you see through into the vault if you entered from the cave side.
- Added some lighting in the entrance cave and vault entrance
- Added some boxes, gore bags, ground clutter and a few dead mutants to liven things up
1.0
- Original release
Known Bugs:
1. It may just be my computer, but during the animation of the door opening, the game gets pretty laggy. Once the animation is finished, there are no problems, so I don't think it's a big deal, and have no idea how I'd fix it.
Future Plans:
I think I'm done. Not likely that I'll mess with the lag bug, since it doesn't affect anything except during that 5 seconds or so.
Installation: Just drop it in your Fallout 3\Data folder, and check it in the launcher (click Data Files if using the stock launcher, or it's right there if using FOMM). Uncheck/delete to uninstall.
