📋 About This Mod

NEW:From v1. 1, ARWCSM is compatible with DEF_HUD's 'Component tags' module (see below).

Introduction

ARWCSM uses DEF_INV resources to display around 50 icons before the items in the inventory. They are sorted by 68 tags. Weapons and Armors are not sorted for now. An upgrade will come soon so in the meantime, you should use the excellent Better Armor and Weapon naming and sorting, which displays | the | mods | attached | like | that and sorts these items well. ARWCSM uses 16 tabs separating the items for a faster access thank to shorter lists.

With the other mods of an ensemble of three, it brings Colored icons to the inventory lists in the Pipboy/Barter/Container/Workbench screens. ARWCSM should be used in conjunction with the two other mods of the set. It is expressively made for a Color Pipboy. It intends to make it finer to watch by diminishing the Contrast between the white Fonts/Icons/Animations and the black Background when the monochrome setting is removed in order to display a Color World Map (main reason).

The other mods: Gold Kit for Color Pipboy -anti-Black&White Screen- The main one. It provides Colors to Icons/Animations and some Fonts for all Pipboy screens and colors the icons in the Barter/Container/Workbench windows. From v1. 1, GKCP removes the monochrome layer (green) of the Pipboy automatically, making it ready to display colors.

Zoom-Out Extended for World Map and Local Map Allows to zoom-out fully on the World/Local Maps and deals with the on-map color of those two screens.

When one removes the monochrome display, the Power Armor Pipboy screens (World Map, inventory...) become too bright. You'll probably need to change (or add) these lines in Fallout4Custom.ini: Chapters [] are essential: The default are respectively 3 and 1: fPipboyScreenEmitIntensityPA=1 fPipboyScreenDiffuseIntensityPA=0. 15

I have also seen: 1. 25 and 0. 15.

As GKCP v1. 1 provides an automatic removal of the monochrome display of the Pipboy, making it ready to display colors, what follows is less relevant. Basically, to remove the monochrome display in the Pipboy screens, you need to edit Fallout4Custom.ini and write: bPipboyDisableFX=1 Fallout4Custom.ini takes precedent over the other INIs (I read) so if that line is elsewhere (with 0 instead of 1), it would be overrun by the one you put in Fallout4Custom.ini (...\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\ with Win7 without Steam) (make a search in C:\ if you don't know where
