2006 Nissan X-Terra

Mystic Pilgrim · November 11, 2010

I'm going to be running a Zombie-Apocalypse game in a few weeks, and the vehicle that the PC's will be ride around in will be modeled off of my Nissan. Here's how my build looks, thus-far. Any suggestions?

You have a lot of stuff costing END. Where does the END come from? You need to define the END Reserve and how it recharges. Is this all based off of the battery? Will replacing the battery be a plot point? If no, ignore it. Also, the Ground Movement should cost END, but needs 1 Continuing Fuel Charge.

Over all, it looks good. If you used Hero Designer, I'd love a copy of the file to host with my assorted other vehicles on my site.

PS: What sort of zombies?

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

looks good other than the size being off, but I tend to be a completist..

I was assuming stock specs on it

plenty of aftermarket stuff you could either add to it, or have a mechanic modify it for

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

Shadowcat, that's absolutely awesome. It shows me just how granular that HERO can be. I LOVE IT!

There are a couple of items I'm not completely sure about, tho. (Since I personally, own the X-Terra) I think your passenger count is off. It can hold 1 driver and 4 passengers, unless you are counting someone sitting in the cargo area. Also the side and roll-over airbags... Are you sure that they came on the '06? I'm not so sure about that one, the dealership told me that I couldn't get it, when I bought it.

Also,since we have the dependent on 4 tires limitation on the movement, the X-Terra has a REAL spare, not a help tire. So, is there a way we can work that into the mix somehow?

I'm going to add one or two items to the list. 1) The Brush-guard (which I found out the hard way is NOT complete cosmetic) 2) The Running Boards (They would give a slight bump for climbing on the sides of the vehicles.) 3) The Skid-Plate (This is assuming we're making a build based on the X-Terra Off-Road Package)

I also made a couple of minor changes to the file... Some of the extra PD... (Airbags) Like the brush-guard and skid-plate, they are very specific circumstance use. So, it made more sense to me not to add them into the base PD pool. Reasonable?

There is two points that I don't understand about the build, thus-far. The engine... It doesn't cost fuel (END)? Would one possibility be to add a fuel tank (END Reserve) and have the various gas-based systems draw from that END reserve? Would that be one way to do it? (Still new. So, bear with my dumb questions)

Susano · November 12, 2010

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

Vehicle engines don't cost END. They run off of fuel charges. You could define the vehicle's battery as an END Reserve and have the REC come from driving the car (which will recharge the battery.)

Also, I humbly submit the following collection of zombies for your consideration: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/82637-Left-4-Dead-Hero

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

Susano, I was originally going to go with the lumbering Romero-style zombies, but the left 4 dead zombies that you wrote up on that thread have me intrigued. This is going to be my partner's first introduction to HERO. So, I want to make it a good one

Thanks for the recommend

Mystic Pilgrim · November 12, 2010

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

One question, are they as infectious as the traditional zombie? If so, what is the mode of transmission?

Susano · November 12, 2010

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

It's not made clear in L4D how the infection is transmitted. The PCs you can play are apparently carriers and are infecting people they meet (how? not sure.) It might be transmitted in the same fashion as a flu or the common cold... but comments in game seem to say "no." It might be 28 Days Later style... in which body fluids are needed (spit, blood, and so on.)

If you want more zombies, check my website. I have....

Re: 2006 Nissan X-Terra

I got the info from an automotive site, I dont remember which, they listed the side and rollover bags as an option

the same site said 1+5 on crew

as far as how granular Hero can get, this ones pretty tame... have you looked at surbrooks site for his vehicle conversions?

I have about half a dozen sites I dig on for detail on vehicles, and I am always happy to have more.
