Our team right now is really small... And we need your help! We need people experienced in making dialogue trees and quests, as well as more level designers. We can't do this alone and if you would like to see this mod come to life, leave a comment on this sticky so we know we can count on you when the time comes!
Well, I think the first and foremost, would be someone who's fluent in the use of the Creation Kit. Basically, I had to look up how to make a radio station, and even in doing that, I screwed up several aspects, and had to fix the mod twice before it worked on my end.
If I can find people who are capable of creating dialogue trees, quests, etc, without the same complications? Like, just anyone who knows how to work mods AT ALL would be nice. 3d models for Toy Soldier uniforms, and buzzsaw babies, and animators, etc? All of that comes afterward.
So, as the starter of this mod, I think it's important to tell all of you, my harddrive died. I don't have the space on my current setup, to install Fallout 4, or to really... edit anything. All I can do, for the time being, is brainstorm, and wait until I can afford a replacement.
I'm aware of the bug where World Domination Radio overlaps with Silver Shroud, and I've asked TheCoolest if he can figure it out, as I'm unable to do much of anything right now. Truly sorry for the invonenience. I wanted to work on this mod a lot more, but fate has handed me a wildcard.
The past month or so has been rough. I have only just gotten a working PC again, and can resume work on this mod. However! It may take the backburner to some other mods I've had percolating in the old peanut. Mods I do have the manpower, and simply not the know-how, to pull off. I'll implement a few little ideas in the coming weeks, if for no other reason, than to provide some new content for those of you who enjoy this mid's concept <3
It's been a while. I had many emergencies, scares, and events pop into my life. And because I'm basically only a writer, not a very good modder, I'm having to put this mod as far back on the backburner as I can. I can't find a team to help with this mod, as it will inevitably take a lot of skills I do not have. I had a lot of ambition, and none of the skill to back it up.
For now, I'm working on writing a novel of my own.
Since the toy soldiers are distancing themselves from Dr Steel why not do something like the Indiana Jones easter egg in NV since Cross Brotherhood Recon Mod has the glasses so you could recreate the house from the Dr Steel Show on the little island then underneath his robots and his lab where we finally find him there well whats left of him.
I don't know anything about modding or the creation kit but ill support your endeavors, downloading the mod now and ill endorse as soon as it gets downloaded!!
the truth is that the idea of Dr steel as an antagonist of the mechanist putting all the commonwealth in a crossfire with these two giving themselves a clean blow is not a bad idea in fact I think it would not be bad for a fallaout where the whole map was under the cross game of two or four or three factions
I was very curious and so just looked this character up, very intriguing and he would be an excellent addition to the fallout universe as an actual character. In fact perhaps he could be the REAL Mechanist - or the Mechanist could be a protege of his after he became trapped in a mysterious cryogenic vault - long before the war after his arch rival suckered him so that he could get on with his own crazy scheme to dominate the world - or at least the vault's and that evil protagonist may have been non other than Doctor Braun (or something). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Steel Downloading so that I can endorse (not that I am a fan of the bad guy's but hey cool idea and you just educated me about a musician I had never heard of but who it seem's was very inspiration to steampunk style).
Endorsed and may it be very successful, I hope you get that help you want because this would be a very good character and actually very lore friendly.
Do keep in mind, the real Dr Steel is a bit of an asshat. Rion Vernon, while I have to reference him as the copyright owner, has been known for abusing women, and overall being a fuckhead.
The character of Doctor Steel cannot be legally used by me. But I intend on expanding upon the idea, using parody, impersonation, etc.
That said, I had the intention of The Mechanist being a 'Rival' to Dr. Steel. Not because either of them had ever met, or because they actually antagonize eachother, but because Dr. Steel was using a rivalry with the Mechanist as propaganda to convince people to join the Toy Soldiers.
So he is one of those type of individual's, good to know and thank's for the head's up.
Sad to say but there are literally too many of them in the world, still a great idea based on the character but that characters origin is therefore not very pleasant, seem's like they are crawling out of the wood everywhere these day's but despite how it seem's that is simply because as our society get's more enlightened about such behavior people are becoming braver at exposing it so in fact there may not be more of them just that they are more readily outed by there victim's.
Still it is a great mod idea, you could always change the name but keep the idea if copyright become's a little dodgy - if the guy who is apparently self published even hears about your mod and then only if he does not like the free exposure your mod would give him that is and hey look at all the trump mod's and star wars mod's that have come and gone. There ARE also other doctor steel characters whom had the title long before he chose to use it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_%28John_Henry_Irons%29 http://getsmart.wikia.com/wiki/Dr._Steele So there is absolutely no impediment to you using the name Dr Steel for a character and the only potential problem is in images and content that is not regarded as open source produced by this particular Dr Steel or rather the seedy guy behind him.
Indeed. It's very sad that he had to be that way. But we all move on.
The Toy Soldiers Unite group won't be associated with this project AT ALL. Because they were the ones who agreed not to use the character in any way again. As such, I'm on my own with this project, unless I find other individuals willing to work outside of TSU to make this project happen.
As for the character itself, I absolutely will be using the music, and imagery. Very specifically, I intend for the use of Dr. Steel's iconography to be part of the overarching plot I've been planning.
wow i had no idea of the s#*! hes done ones i read all this i looked it all up and wow much more then what was said here thanks for the heads up and for you mod idea try posting for help on here or ask moders youd think would be a good fit i wish i cud do more to help.... but your better at making mods then i and iv tryed
I can help with level design. This Dr. Steel character seems like a cool guy to design a lab for. If you need an example of my work, check out here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17561 I am also experienced somewhat in Nifscope, and 3Ds Max, but I can't make any custom objects with collision.

I just posted on Old World Radio not long ago about adding Dr. Steel to the mod.
Thanks for filling that void for me.
