Combat Armor Reinforced Fix-Mod

[Lexx]

So, I've released my first mod for New Vegas, which is a fix mod. :>

Doing some lazy c&p from Nexus description page now:

###################################
#### Combat Armor Reinforced Mk1 and 2 Fix
###################################
Filename: camk1-fix.esp

## Version 1.0

## Description
This mod is a fix-mod for the Combat Armor Reinforced Mk1 and Mk2 and does two things:

1. Making the Combat Armor Reinforced Mk1 much less rare and
2. Adjusting the price difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 armor.

Background: I found it very strange that the Gun Runners are selling the Reinforced Mk2 armor much more than the Mk1 armor. It was especially strange, because I couldn't find a single Mk1 armor at any trader in the game. So my first target was to make a mod, which fixes this. While fiddleing around in the G.E.C.K., I then noticed, that there is a bug, which makes the Mk1 armor very rare:

In the condition form of the armor, was 1 armor item and 3 helmet items written, which is wrong and explains the rarity of the armor. I fixed this.

The second curiosity was, that the Mk1 armor costs exactly as much as the Mk2 armor, while the Mk2 armor has a higher Damage Threshold. This annoyed me, because it makes no sense to buy a Mk1 armor, if the Mk2 armor is better and costs exactly the same. Also the Mk1 and Mk2 helmets don't (!) cost the same. The difference is actually 1 DT and 500 caps, so there must be the second bug with combat armors, as I very much doubt it is intended to be like this.

Now the Combat Armor Mk2 costs 1000 caps more, which makes it's value 9000 instead of 8000. This should be a good price for the additional DT, that is given to the player, compared to the MK1 version.


So, this is nothing more than a fix mod and somehow I hope some official fix for it will hit the shelf someday..

#### Combat Armor Reinforced Mk1 Gunrunner Guards
###################################
Filename: gunrunner-camk1.esp

## Version 1.0

## Description
This mod just gives the Gun Runner guards a Combat Armor Reinforced Mk1 instead of their normal Combat Armor. I wanted the Gun Runners to look more like in Fallout 1, which is the reason, why this mod exists. It does nothing else than exchanging the armor. Shouldn't have any deep impact on the game, as they stay inside their facility all the time.

Is that the armor from the box cover or what?

Seriously, 22 hrs in and I still haven't seen that armor anywhere. What the Hell? And even if I find some, I still have no power armor training Where do you get that from?

Edit: Blah, didn't see the pics, I already have this one

The armor you mean is the Ranger Combat Armor. Elite ranger in this armor appear after x progress in the main quest. You also don't need power armor training to wear these, as they are no power armor.

Wondered where the Mk I armour was. Nice of you to add it in. Shame the pipboy blitzes the wrist armour making it look a bit silly.

 

[Tagaziel]

Am I the only one who things the pauldrons on this armour and the oversized helmet look silly?

 

[Lexx]

Well, it's pretty close to the original armor. On my screenshot, the gun runner guard is a female, btw. There the armor looks a tad bigger as well.

I like it and I love that it is ingame at all. Never liked the Fallout 3 combat armor.... which could be more a leather armor, if one would 'correct' the textures.
