Let you ask Yes Man to open the Lucky 38 for business. With for main goal to stay vanilla friendly.
This mod gives you the possibility to open the Lucky 38 to the public, simply by asking Yes Man. Its main goal is to stay vanilla friendly, this means there are no overcomplicated features or stuff that would feel out of place in the original game.
HOW TO OPEN THE LUCKY 38:
The first requirement is to get rid of Mr. House and let Yes Man take over the Lucky 38 (and let him upgrade the Securitrons if it's not done already). After that simply talk to Yes Man and you will see the option to open the Casino but you can't run a casino all by yourself of course, you need personel. The mod let you choose between the three Families: The Chairmen (Tops), The White-Gloves (Ultra-Luxe) and the Omertas (Gomorrah).
CHAIRMEN:
To unlock this option you need 5,000 caps (Configurable in the INI file) and to complete Ring-a-Ding-Ding!.
WHITE-GLOVES:
To unlock this option you need 5,000 caps (Configurable in the INI file) and to complete Beyond the Beef.
OMERTAS:
To unlock this option you need 5,000 caps (Configurable in the INI file) and to complete How Little We Know.
Now that you've asked Yes Man you must wait three days for your new employees to get the casino in shape for its opening. After three days have passed the casino will open while you're in the Mojave (worldspace: WastelandNV).
WHAT NOW:
So, the Lucky 38 is now open but what has changed? Well...
CHANGE PERSONEL:
If you are not happy with your original choice you can change staff at the cost of 1,000 caps (Configurable in the INI file). The change will happen after a day while you're in the Mojave.
HOTEL ROOMS:
A new area will be available after the Lucky 38 has opened and the lights are turned on at the El Dorado Station.
CLEAN CASINO:
The place will be cleaned up. From cracks in the walls to papers on the floor, everything has been cleaned.
NPCs:
37 NPCs have been added. 22 in the Casino Floor, 15 in the Cocktail Lounge.
Casino Floor:
11 Gamblers
2 Blackjack Dealers
2 Bartenders
2 Guards
1 Roulette Dealer
1 Floor Manager
1 Greeter
1 Cashier
1 Receptionist (will appear after the Lucky 38 lights have been turned on)
The Securitrons originally guarding the elevator will change position.
Cocktail Lounge:
11 Gamblers
2 Bartenders
2 Guards
MUSIC:
Music will be heard in both the Casino Floor and Cocktail Lounge. You also have the possibility to choose between 4 kinds of music: Strip, Lounge, Classical and Country. To change the music find these terminals:
The Casino Floor and Cocktail Lounge can have different musics.
INCOMES:
What's the point in investing caps if you don't get anything in return?
In the Casino Floor in the cashier's room you will find a safe. Everyday after the opening 150 caps (Configurable in the INI file) will be added to it. That sum is doubled after the Lucky 38 lights are on.
INCONSISTENTS DIALOGUES:
Dialogues creating inconsistencies like mentions of the Lucky 38 being closed will be disabled.
NOTE: It's definitely possible I missed some dialogues so let me know if you ever hear anything inconsistent with the current events.
THE REST:
VANILLA FIX AND TWEAKS:
- The floor in the Cocktail Lounge had a metal sound when walking on it. Fixed it by editing the meshe.
- Reduced the wind sound heard in the Penthouse and Cocktail Lounge.
- Reduced the opacity of the Penthouse/Cocktail Lounge windows texture to appear cleaner.
- Removed the dust particles in the Casino Floor and Presidential Suite.
- The Moon Comes Over the Tower quest will fail if not completed when the Lucky 38 open.
LIGHTING:
Complete overhaul of the Casino Floor lighting. The main reason for this is to increase performances, I also tweaked some lights so they emit the right color (e.g. the red lights on the elevator now emits red) and added lighting to the elevator sign. If you turn the lights on during Wild Card: Finishing Touches, all the lights in the Casino Floor will be on. The Presidential Suite will the Casino Floor's lighting for consistency.
UNIQUE TEXTURES:
- Unique textures for the Blackjack and Roulette tables with the Lucky 38 logo.
- The Blackjack dealer will use Lucky 38 cards.
INTRO POSTER:
Restored the Lucky 38 poster seen in the game's intro cinematic.
NOTE: The mod Lucky 38 Intro Poster is therefore not needed. The poster from my mod was made from scratch.
EXTERIOR SIGN:
The exterior sign will now mention the Lucky 38 being open.
INI CUSTOMIZATION:
INVESTMENT COST:
5000 caps by default, iInvestAmountlet you define the required amount of caps required to open the Lucky 38.
STAFF CHANGE COST:
1000 caps by default, iChangeStaffCost let you define the required amount of caps required to change personel.
DAILY INCOME:
150 caps by default (doubled after the lights are on), iDailyIncome let you define the daily caps income.
MORE GAMBLERS:
Setting bMoreGamblers to 1 add 10 more Gamblers in both the Casino Floor and Cocktail Lounge (20 new NPCS in total).
MR. HOUSE:
Setting bAskMrHouse to 1 allows to open the casino while Mr. House is alive. Simply talk to Jane after the Strip Securitrons have been upgraded, the rest is exactly like with Yes Man. NOTE: Jane's new dialogues are not voiced. I didn't find lines I could re-use
and I don't care much about this option personally to put much work into it, I made it mostly for people who badly want to open the Lucky 38 in a Mr. House playthrough.
THE KINGS:
Setting bKingsChoice to 1 allows you to choose the Kings to manage the Lucky 38. G.I. Blues must be completed.
NOTIFICATIONS:
Setting bGetNotified to 1 add a message pop-up letting you know when the Lucky 38 has opened or the staff has changed.
FUNCTIONAL POST GAME ENDING:
NCR ENDING:
The NCR takes over the Lucky 38. The casino is opened (if not already) and the Chairmen are hired by the NCR. You can still access the Presidential Suite but you won't get the daily incomes.
LEGION ENDING:
The Legion takes over the Lucky 38. The casino is closed. You can still access the Presidential Suite.
INDEPENDENT - MR. HOUSE ENDING:
No changes.
NOTE: I will probably expand this a bit. For example, make the casino playable in the NCR ending.
NOTES:
- There is a demo file available to test the mod right away. Remember that you must be in the Mojave for the Casino to open. This is not meant to be used in your actual game and I will not provide support for people using it that way.
- The casino is not playable, that wouldn't make sense since you're the boss. Maybe I will consider making an optional file allowing you to play in the casino but no promises.
Before becoming a standalone mod, Lucky 38 Lights Redone was supposed to be part of this mod so, recommended.
