First time out of the vault
Hi there NMA forum. I was wondering if I could get some help with something that I find rather annoying. I love Fallout 2, and I have it all up to date with restored content. But one thing I don't like is that end game I always look the same, Advanced power armor mark 2. I was hoping that either somebody could make for me, or show me how to make, new armor that has the same appearance of some of the weaker armor but much higher stats. For example, a robe that can match power armor. Or a jacket with the one sleeved look. I like how those look more than the bulky armors, but there's no reason at all to keep them. I don't know how to make an item, or even just edit one to work here, so I need somebody else to do so or teach me how. Thanks ahead of time.

Edit: I've downloaded the HexEditor program and have the proto ID of the robes item, 00000113, so I'm thinking I can just alter that and not have to do much else. But I'm not sure which 'offsets' I should change, or to what. Help would be appreciated.

Edit 2: It's going to be way easier to just change the 'appear as' info of the power armor than all the stats of the robes. So that's what I'm doing. When I'm done, do I put the new Power armor files in the directories data folder, will that overwrite the master? I think it will, going to try anyway.

It's not your fault (being new to the subject), but you're going down several wrong roads here that will probably all end badly. I think you may be much better off looking at one of the character or save-game editors; for example the best modern one is FSe.
 
You could use Cubik's item editor and create or edit a leather jacket with higher stats than the APA Mk.II if you wanted to.
 
I had not heard of this Cubik's editor. Seeing it now, yeah, that's definitely the thing I'm after. Well, if nothing else I had a good time messing with my files. And no serious changes means no serious issue for what I've already done.
