SEASON 8 : ZETAN ROBOBRAINS HUNTING
Season 8 Aliens were kicked out of earth ! However, perhaps did they managed to steal human technology ? While they were here, did they accomplished their own robobrains or are you dreaming ?
( Archive includes .bat patchers to add/remove beeps /& wallhack material - Default version is without anything )
P.S. Previous 6.3 version ( kings moleminers ) still works if you prefer. Don't use both.
SEASON 6 : Christmassy And Blingy 76 Treasure Hunter
NOTE: Asked by BorderXer who also found the new title... Initially designed for the season 6, you still might want to use this replacer for moleminers in this season 7 first hunting... As January might be the right time to "shoot to the kings" !
Well, in France, christians people are having a festive time when they use to eat cake in saying "tirer les rois", literally "shoot to the kings". This expression initially was not dedicated to the idea of shooting to them, but more on deceiding who should become the king ; They join together to eat a special cake in which is hidden a little toy ( "la fève" ) : The ones - usually a child because they cheat so (s)he can have it - who finds the toy "becomes the king" and is rewarded by a fake crown in golden paper ; this is "Tirer les rois". As I am not only french, but also anarchist and not so much christian, I just really hate kings, and when I am saying "tirer les rois", I really literally mean "shoot to the kings" , which sounds to me a game a lot more funny !
Not being able to provide yet a season 7 totally new version, I have updated this season 6 version for you, with added golden stars emitting balloons, changing of color, because it is nicer, and because it helps locating vertically the mole miners : Enjoy !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Old season 6 presentation : ) Moleminers treasure hunters are back from earth depthes again ; They heard about a cosplay in Appalachia during this season 6 thus they prepared themselves to the party dressing properly !
(non canon) Long time ago, moleminers were workers inside the mines and they had to revolt against the big owners and their army of mercenaries. Amongst them, there were a few union leaders which used to represent them to negociate with the bosses... However, when things came out of control before the big war, as they were loosing their jobs one after another, missing the money to eat, heal and being threatened with their familly to be evicted from their home, they were able to see who was actually their good comrades, and who weren't. If some leaders came with them to strike and make direct actions against the big owners, most of them have been corrupted, and just tried to escape with the money they were given by the bosses to end negociations with poor incomes for the workers. Then, as the workers were struggling to survive despite of the repression, ...Fall the bombs ; In a world of radiations and heavy chemicals melting, something hard to explain happens to these workers. They became like a new race of animals irrupting from the depth, while still looking like they kept some of their human spirit from before the bombs. It seems they put at hard work the ancient corrupted union leaders to punish them : Once a while, they have to go outside alone in the wild Appalachia to grab all the stuff they can and bring it back to the Purveyor, pillar of their new moleminers community.
During this season 6, to mingle discreetly with the cosplay of humans, they are going out clothed as kings... It is hard to tell if this is because of the hazing from their ancient comrades, or perhaps because of them being fans of their favorite character in Grognak comics : The non-cannon King of all dwarves ! What is sure is they might enlight the days of human hunters tracking them during this season !
P.S. Please, use at your own risk : Of course, this mod has not been tested yet during the incoming real event. Also, screenshots are moleminers skinned with the treasure hunters outfit during tests ; real treasure hunters won't shoot at you with this mod ! ( and casual moleminers will still remain vanilla ones )
P.P.S. This mod might give you a little advantage over the other players because of the torch light and other hidden details. If so, it is not really a massive advantage as the treasures hunters are yet pretty luminous and sounding from afar ; still if they flee away, you might see them a bit better, thus, please as soon as you choose to use this mod, it becomes your responsability to stay fair, and to always share your target with other players when you can ; Thank you.
I cannot get this mod to function both with a direct install and through a mod manager. kind of a shame since i wanted the king mole miners back since i first saw this mod a long time ago.
Thank you very much for creating this wild new Zetan Alien Leader Treasure Hunter! [ENDORSED] (I only started playing the event now. ...) CheersVivec Reflectively,BorderXer
I am just about to play 76 again after around a one week break...family stuff, but all is getting better.Thank you very much for the update, for the personal touch about that French tradition, and your mentioning me.That was all fun to see. CheersVivec. Reflectively,BorderXer
Thank you for your words, Mancubuss ! It was done a bit rushed and I am not 100% happy with the result, but still, it was fun for me to make this event just a bit different from others. I don't see any more treasure events for a while in S6 ( at least nothing in 2021 as far as I can read on BS calendar ) I guess if the moleminers are coming back in 2022, so I would try to make another mod of the same kind, with provided theme by s7... Cheers
This is, IMHO, by far the best mod of it's kind for Fallout 76! Especially challenging for F76, I think, due to there are less direct tools to make mesh and texture mods for it. EDIT:Thank you for your informative reply. (sorry for this late response)
Thank you very much BorderXer ! ...Hell, I wish I could make ( / update ) the tools ( I was developper long time ago ) but right now I have indeed to trick with hexadecimal editors in order to achieve this, which can sometimes be "walking blind across a cliff" ( except no death when falling which is definitely a good perk ). The few decicated existing tools are also quite useful, and I can't thank enough their author. Perhaps with "Worlds" BS will take the way of "decicated modded servers", maybe as a way to leave FO76 in order to develop new games, however it might take ages before more tools are available... This mod has not requested much efforts from me, though ; I worked only a few couple of days to be able to release the v1. Some mods - mainly FO4 - requested me weeks or monthes of work, and were never released because too much things were started but then remaining unfinished ! Little mods are definitely more rewarding as for the nice feeedbacks such as yours and other people here ! This one, even if trivial, allows me to get a better practice at integrating custom meshes - and skins - in FO76 . nif, which is really great because I wanted to update an other mod I made this summer ( ACAB76 All Corpses Are Beautiful ) and I needed this method. Indeed, this "meat-piles" mod was built only with FO76 vanilla meshes attached one to another, but it means there are a lot of faces which could be removed to optimize it. Now I will be able to do so and even to modify the meshes with my own creativity... Thus I don't regret the work on this weird Skyrim moleminer even if it is definitely not the style I am used to ! Thank you again for your support, BorderXer.
Hi there. Happy you find it good, thank you :) Well, to be honnest, it's not that hard to make glowing creatures ( we have the glowing ghouls as provided template , and in fact there's no difference between static objects and creatures for that ) Yes, my first thought was to make a glowing version and then I was hesitating because it would really create a big advantage over other players : Here, the torch is mainly an aesthetic way to better see gold reflects and it allows to find again the target faster if it flees away far but that's pretty much it. The files also contain 2 different versions, I disabled one which is adding some more sound ( bobblehead beeps, which you can hear from a bit more afar than only the usual sound ), but I disabled it because I think vanilla sound is yet enough, and, also, this alternative model with added sound will continue to beep when the creature is killed, which might be annoying ( it also can help finding faster if someone yet went somewhere to hunt them... But, well, most of the time, it was annoying during my tests. ) I might provide a glowing version tommorrow or saturday but I want to imagine its aesthetic first, because I don't want to mod for cheating, I want it to be most of all creation, and then, yes, if it can provide quality of life, that's even better... Except, at some point, I fear to create disadvantages for players not using the mod, thus I must find the good balance.
New ( and last ) version is online, with a few more glowy elements ( backpack only ) Considering the lack of time I had ( because I also want to play, I only miss the Scorchbeast plushie and I hope to get it before monday !!! ) this is the best I could do. Even if it might neither look like usual "glowy" mods nor look really great ( I mean kind of realistic ) , at least, the Treasure Hunter is now even hard to miss sportting or to loose if fleeing away... Honnestly , this is more for fun than for efficiency of gameplay as vanilla one is yet hard to miss with the pulsing red light and the beep-beeps. Maybe it still helps a little in a few rare situations.
Well the only reason I say that is because I am 100% color blind, and basically every thing is a giant blob to me. If I can't target it in vats, basically I just dont see it (unless it has been moded thing that already exists). Its like picking out a single leaf in a giant forest of leaves for me, but this does help a little. So thanks either way!
Thank you ! :) Well, I know, it might better fit Skyrim ! However I thought as this season is all about comics heroes with colored suits, including challenges for players to wear suits during events, it could make sense to stick with it... I am the first one to find this season a bit below usual because of this making the game a bit "cartoonish" : I used to play games like STALKER long time ago, and I prefer when things are dark, creepy, rusty and so on. However, now we were into it... I assumed : "Why not ?"
Which is a great thing! They look incredible paired with the new season, considering as you said, it's quite underwhelming and what a better way to spice things up! Once again, thanks for this!

Just make ready to download ba2 files.
Most of those "not working" complains are because of that.
Not using this mod myself for this exact reason. kinda sad.
Remove the exe file, the mess in the archive and make it ready to use mod and you'll get many more users & endoresements.
