About this mod

The Atomic Wrangler as it was intended to be! A gritty, raucous dive where anything can happen! Seems the Garretts have a new act. This mod adds a punk metal band and music to the Wrangler. NEW version vanilla race to avoid conflicts with beauty mods.

Permissions and credits
***Update 1-2-11: Apparently the mod does need FNVDance in order to function properly. Verified on my system. Can't find what I left out, so dependency remains. Please download FNV Dance Animations here:

http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35297

***UPDATE 12-14-10: added missing files to Vanilla Race Optional file. Reposted. I apologize for the inconvenience.


***UPDATE 12-11-2010***
NEW file uploaded today same file as before but now the band is the Vanilla Caucasian Raider race. I included this file for those having conflicts with beauty mods. Please download AtomicMetalBandVanillaRace and activate AtmoicMetalBand2.esp. Also please deactivate any of the previous versions, as they may not run well together. In fact in that scenario I predict disaster.

***UPDATE 12-04-2010***
NEW file uploaded with nifs and textures included for the instruments! Extras too because I couldn't remember which I used.

IMPORTANT! If using AtomicRockBand1.esp, disable it and enable this AtomicMetalBand1.esp instead, that's this one.

The Atomic Wrangler is now a Metal bar! Introducing Synne Herself and the Atomic Metal Band! Now when you enter the Wrangler, be prepared for a heavy metal onslaught. The band plays on entry, stops playing after you exit the bar through the FRONT door. This is a SELF CONTAINED mod that provides all resources with express permission other than NVSE which is REQUIRED to run this mod and is updated frequently. Again you DO NOT NEED 7dance for this mod.

STUFF TO GET OUT OF THE WAY UP FRONT

I owe a HUGE thanks to zluka, without whose help I never could have gotten this far. Hell, he practically wrote the script for me. Zluka is the author of The Animation Tool, available here:

***** IMPORTANT! **** THIS MOD REQUIRES NVSE available here:

http://nvse.silverlock.org

This mod uses animations from Umpa's Dance FNV mod available here: (none of these required - it's in there)

http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37189

And Synne Herself uses the Nova Hairstyle available here:

posted for FONV by daishi86 which is a permission granted repost of the Top Knot Drift Style from the FO3 Hairpack. I personally have SydneyB's permission to use her work available here:

http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1146

and I understand the original author of the hairstyle has given permission broadbased to anyone that wants to use it. SO, no sniveling from you copyright freaks.

RECOMMENDED BUT NOT INCLUDED:

Beware of Girl Hi-Rez Hi-Detailed Replacer available here:

and the Dusty Raider Type 3 texture by holbrook, available here:

ABOUT THIS MOD:

This mod is intended to upgrade the hairiness of the Atomic Wrangler, and set a more robust mood. Synne Herself and the Atomic Metal Band now appear on stage. The Atomic Rock Band is a custom, unplayable race. Upon entering the Wrangler you will be witness to a hard-driving, heavy metal grind that will get your head banging! The Atomic Metal Band plays "Observations of Effulgence" by The Reaping, who have given me permission to distribute their work royalty and copyright free.. As you listen to the lyrics, you find the song oddly lore-friendly. When you exit the front door of the Wrangler, the show's over and it's back to killing. Or solving crappy fetch puzzles, whatever your style is.

If for whatever reason you want to turn this excellent music off and still remain in the casino, bring up your Pipboy, turn on any radio station, and it will stop the music. That, however, will not stop the animation.

I removed the static microphone and added a chain link fence to prevent patrons from interfering with the band, and you should avoid talking to them. Keep in mind they're performing for you, interrupting them would be rude.

Since a freakin three meter tall chain link fence (AND removing the NavMesh triangles) is apparently not a 100% barrier to patrons, if one happens to sneak onstage just go in console mode, click on them, and type "kill". Lol. Works for me. If anyone knows how to make a proper barrier, please pm me.

If for any reason the idles break, you can reset them manually. Type "~" to enter console mode, click on the character you want to reset, then type:

For Synne: playidle singrock
For Hopeless: playidle guitar09
For Blitz: playidle guitar10
For Stixx: playidle drum

then press "Enter" then "~" again to go back to game mode.

If you want your own music to play you can change the song in the GECK. Just drag and drop the mp3 of your choice into the data/music/metal folder. Under Music Type, the first entry is "001atomicmetalmusic". Double-click it and you can reference any mp3 instead.
INSTALLATION:

Extract files to your data directory, overwrite if prompted. Click AtomicMetalBand1.esp and enjoy.

UNINSTALLATION: Delete esp and all associated files.

BUGS:

Don't talk to Hopeless in 3rd person. He's weird so weird things happen. Speak to anyone else to cure it. Speaking to any other band member simply breaks their animation, but the music still plays. Go outside and re-enter to reset the script. Or simply leave. Please report if any others found.

If using the (highly recommended) Populated Casinos Mod available here:

http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35369

one of the gamblers may spawn onstage. I can't change that and if the author of that mod wants to, then okay. In my game all she does is stand there and dance anyway so it's cool.

CONFLICTS:

Adds a custom race, may conflict with other beauty mods. Works on my system with over 150 mods. Any problems, look at load order first, make sure NVSE is updated, correct installation of this mod, throw hands up in despair, shoot monitor, in that order.

SUPPORT:

Not much. Report any bugs, I will attempt a fix.

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your game setup or your system.

Additional credits to the crews at Bethesda, Obsidian, the Nexus, and especially to you the end user. If I have left anyone out it was purely an oversight and upon notification I will be glad to make corrections.

Constructive feedback is welcome and endorsements, as always, are treasured. Idiotic or harassing comments will be mercilessly trampled.

Please ask permission before redistributing my work. If you do plan to use this mod for redistribution please also ask permission from zluka for his scripts and Umpa for the animations.

"Observations of Effulgence" is a copyrighted work of The Reaping and may NOT be distributed without permission.

Thank you for shopping Talon Company. Have a great day.
