📋 About This Mod
Enhanced Enclave power and tesla armor v1. 0 Author: Mortecha Date: 16th November 2008 This mod is a texture enhancement of the vanilla Enclave power and tesla armor textures. These textures where influenced by the fallout 2 Enclave powerarmor coloration, and makes the Enclave seem like a more scary and professional faction. INSTALLATION: 1: Extract the data folder into your \\Fallout3 directory. 2: I assume most of you know about using modified textures ingame. If not then open the FALLOUT.ini file and change the \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=0\" line to \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=1. The ini file can be found at My Documents/My Games/Fallout3. If you have trouble locating bInvalidateOlderFiles=0 then use the find function (CTRL F) or a similar function if another text editor is used. Then add the mods ArchiveInvalidation text file to the main directory of Fallout 3. 3: If you have the ArchiveInvalidation text file already set up then copy and paste the following lines into it. textures/armor/enclavearmor01.dds textures/armor/enclavehelmet01.dds textures/armor/enclavehelmet01_g.dds textures/armor/enclaveglove01.dds textures/armor/teslapowerarmor/teslahelmet.dds textures/armor/teslapowerarmor/teslaarmor.dds textures/armor/teslapowerarmor/teslaarmoraddon.dds VERSIONS: 1. 0 Initial release You can use these textures in your mods but don\'t forget to credit me. Any problems, give me a shout either by messaging me through FALLOUT 3 Nexus or by leaving a comment. Enjoy:) -Mortecha
