Description
===========
Use a motorcycle to travel to various locations throughout New Vegas! Includes a version with random encounters.


Location
========
The motorcycle is parked on the road near the Prospector Saloon in Goodsprings. If you travel to another location the bike will be parked there.


Details
=======
This mod expands your travel capabilities by adding a motorcycle to the world, which you can use to travel to seven destinations in the Mojave.

For realism, once you drive to another location the motorcycle will be parked there. So if you drive from Goodsprings to Freeside and then fast-travel back to Goodsprings, you will find that the bike has moved to Freeside and you have to pick it up from there.

There are three versions included in this zip-file:

#Game_NV_MotorcycleTravel.esp
No trunk, no fuel requirement. Just use the bike to get from place to place.

#Game_NV_MotorcycleTravelAdv.esp
A trunk has been added to the bike and each ride requires 5 small energy cells.

#Game_NV_MotorcycleTravelAdvRandom.esp
Adds random encounters to the advanced version fo the mod.

There is a base chance of 55 % of running into a random encounter on the road. The chance for a random encounter is reduced by one half of your survival skill. So at Survival 100 there will be only a 5% chance.

Full formula: 100 - (Survival Skill/2) - 45 = Encounter Chance

This is the encounter table:
10%Radscorpions
15%Giant Ants
15%Coyotes
10%Feral Ghouls
20%Fiends
20%Slavers
10%either Brotherhood of Steel, Caesar's Legion or NCR (based on your reputation)



For even more realism, you can install Lord_Santa's No Fast Travel mod, which will disable fast travelling altogether. You can find his mod at:

As always the script I used is included and you are free to use it in your mods.


Install
=======

1. Decide which version you want to install.
2. Extract the .esp-file to (install folder)\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\
3. Start the Fallout New Vegas Launcher and select the mod.


Uninstall
=========
1). Delete the files associated with the mod.
2.) Load the save and play as normal.


Upgrade
=======
The normal version works fine as it is, but I will only update the advanced and random encounter version in the future.


Incompatibility
==============
none.


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
You should now only get one random encounter without a freezing bug. Oh, DoOnce script command... what wonders you can do.


History
=======
