📋 About This Mod

REGARDING ARMS AND LEGS WHEN APPLYING PAINTS

XBOX ONE version NOW AVAILABLE!

VIDEO TUTORIAL:

COMING SOON...

PLEASE READ:

BETHESDA ORIGINALLY CREATED ALL PAINTS SO THAT EACH LIMB (ARMS AND LEGS) USED ONLY ONE TEXTURE FOR BOTH WHICH BASICALLY MADE THEM IDENTICAL. THE REASON THEY USED THIS METHOD IS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DECALS OR TEXT TO WORRY ABOUT. AND MAYBE A BIT LAZY. I HOWEVER WANTED TO HAVE DECALS AND SCARRING ON EACH LIMB THAT WERE UNIQUE TO EACH ONE. SO I CREATED A TEXTURE FOR EACH LIMB. IT WAS INITIALLY TRICKY GETTING THIS TO WORK, BUT I MANAGED THANKS TO THE PAINT JOBS COMPILER.

ALL LIMBS HAVE THEIR OWN TEXTURE. THERE ARE NO MIRROR TEXTURES. IF YOU HAVE APPLIED THE PAINT TO AN ARM OR LEG AND IT IS MIRROR OR HAS BACKWARDS TEXT, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE ONLY APPLIED ONE TEXTURE FOR BOTH LIMBS. AGAIN, THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT F04DD AND F04DD2 BOTH CONTAIN TEXTURES FOR ONE COLOR SCHEME. IN THIS CASE THOSE WOULD BE THE RED CAMO DEVIL DOG SKINS. WHEN APPLYING THE PAINTS, F04DD WILL BE FOR ONE SIDE AND F04DD2 WILL BE THE OPPOSITE SIDE. BOTH THESE PAINTS HOWEVER ALSO HAVE 2 CHOICE FOR THE HELMET AND TORSO. 

FOR THE GREEN CAMO COLOR SCHEME, THE PAINTS ARE FO4 WAR TAGS AND FO4WTLS. THESE ARE PAIRED. USE THEM TOGETHER. AGAIN, FO4 WAR TAGS IS FOR ONE SIDE AND FO4WTLS IS FOR THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THESE ARE MEANT TO WORK TOGETHER SO THAT THERE ARE NO MIRROR TEXTURES. I WILL LOOK INTO FINDING A WAY TO LABEL THEM BETTER BUT FOR NOW PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION WHEN APPLYING THE PAINTS. AGAIN, IF YOU ARE SEEING MIRRORED TEXTURES ON THE ARMS AND LEGS, THAT MEANS YOU'VE ONLY USED ONE TEXTURE FOR BOTH. THAT IS THE INCORRECT WAY. I WILL PROVIDE A DIAGRAM FOR WHICH SIDE IS WHICH SOON. THANK YOU AND I HOPE THIS HELPS.

11/12/2016 - 1. 1 Update:

INR rebuilt, allow for correct naming of armor base on side. This should result the confusion regarding which paint to apply to which Arm and Leg.

This means right and left Power Armor Paints will display a name (See photos)
