📋 About This Mod

This mod allows you to defend a three floor building against the undead, deploying troops first and then holding out as long as possible, the longer you survive, the more zombies appear.

To aid in frame rate, there is a max limit of zombies as well as a script that removes the dead bodies as soon as they die. As unrealistic as this might appear, it is the best solution to keep it running perfectly, and if you still have problems, a LITE version is avaliable as an optional file which is intended for lower spec computers, however I recommend trying the full version first to see how well your computer handles it as it is FAR more intense and exciting

You can deploy troops at special coloured torches (which dissappear once the battle begins)

Just copy straight to fallout new vegas data

The torch meshes are included, just different coloured torches for depolyment locations. Feel free to use these in your own mods, I simply changed their colours in nifscope

LITE VERSION

This version was created by request for those unable to run this mod without massive lag due to so much going on.

The LITE version changes are:

Horde does not increase, enemies are capped at around 10 -15 instead of 30 (except for the final stand)

Less starting enemies on each floor, numbers cut by half

Less Allys, cut by half in most cases

The roof floor remains unchanged in some ways, the spawns etc have only been cut by half, but to make it still challenging it still has around 15- 20 enemies instead of 30-40 at one time.

When you cant hold the first floor any longer, retreat to the second and you get a breather, then to the third floor, then a few surprises as you wait for help to arrive.

There are plenty of weapons and ammo, but bring your own just in case.

The door is in goodsprings near the gas station, which takes you to another world

I would reccomend a good computer, I have a 6G and it runs with no lag. I tried it on a 4G and it ran fine as well

Also, save at least after every wave especially if you have a computer that might not be able to handle this mod too well, it hasnt crashed while running on a 6 gig, but sometimes it might on a lower end computer

Sometimes the zombies dont appear, I dont know why but to fix it

You can disable to mod, save the game and exit, re enable the mod and it should reset it

Its a rare bug though
