📋 About This Mod
Note ---- The ID codes in the Readme file are wrong but they are correct on this page. Crusaders Power Armor --------------------- This mod provides a unique armor set called Crusaders Armor. The Crusaders Armor is a power armor that combines the armor, helmet, backpack cylinder, decal, and sounds with a better look and stats befitting the name. The Crusaders armor is unique and it will not replace the textures of the other power armor in the game. The visible clothing between the pieces of armor has been changed to chainmail. Have you ever wondered how Elder Lyons was so good at fighting? Truth be told he has great skill and even better technology. Before he became the Elder, he found schematics for an advanced set of armor during an excursion into the wastelands of America. (V2 will include the schematics) He quickly got to work and produced the only version of the Crusaders Armor known to man. The armor proved almost unstoppable in combat, unfortunately the Crusaders Armor was to costly to mass produce due to dwindling resources. Some say Elder Lyons even wore the armor when he and fellow Brotherhood Paladins razed the raider town called the Pitt, also known as the Scourge, while on his way to Washington DC. The following are the stats for the Crusader Armor. Let me know if you want me to reduce them. Crusaders Armor value 1000 RD 65 Increase carry weight 20 lbs. (It\'s power armor and should carry it\'s own weight when worn) Energy Res. +35 Rad. Res. +40 Melee Wpns. +15 Crusaders Grace (When in the sun you are slowly healed by the grace of god. Ok, ya it\'s the sun) Crusaders Helmet Value 600 RD 8 Energy Wpns +15 AP +25 (If you don\'t like this let me know but Power Armor should have built in targeting) Increase Carry Weight 5 lbs. (It\'s power armor and should carry it\'s own weight when worn) Energy Res. +15 The Crusader Armor can only be gained by getting it from Elder Lyons Safe in the Citadel. The Armor can also be repaired by multiple means including scrap metal. If you have emptied his safe, you may need to enter the following codes for the armor (The codes should not be needed). This is V1, I\'m working on a V2 that will make the Crusaders Armor a schematic. player.additem 0001e42e 1 player.additem 0001e407 1 Installation ------------ 1) Locate your Fallout3 install dir. 2) Select the the Data folder and override it with the one I have included in either the Whiter Armor folder or the Darker Armor folder. 3) Load your fallout launcher and add \"Crusaders Armor\" to the data files loaded on game start up. 4) Launch the game and enjoy. If you have not yet done so, you must also edit the line in fallout.ini (found in My Documents\\My Games\\Fallout3) to this: bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 Special thanks to Nevenbridge81 for the armor on sound. It\'s the best sound in my opinion.
