📋 About This Mod
HORIZON 1. 8 Compatible!
This patch should function with the current version of Horizon. I Gave the mask a few more upgrades that I had previously removed, so now it's only missing it's vision upgrades but gets all the other standard Horizon upgrades. The Alternate version I made now has the augment slot it was missing from the newer Horizon versions.
This is a compatibilty patch between Horizon and Black Widow Armor.
I have included a patch for both the female and male versions of the outfit. You'll need an extra patch for the male version that you can get here. Just install it after Black Widow Armor and let it overwrite.
I did not change anything about the way the vision modes work so hopefully everything is functional in Horizon!
For some reason, the hood leaves a spot on the neck that is see through when you are not wearing the outfit. (At least it does with the male version) This has nothing to do with my changes, but I assume the author didn't mind since the outfit and hood are meant to be worn together anyways.
Changes:
-The outfit is no longer upgradable with its own linings and weaves. It now uses all of Horizon's clothing upgrades. To compensate for losing all of the armor upgrades it once got, you can now equip armor parts with the outfit. Obviously, a lot will clip...which is why the original mod author didnt allow armor parts to be equipped with it in the first place.... So--hide anything that looks off. This is a better way of upgrading the suit in my opinion, since you can choose whatever defenses you want to put on it and hiding the armor parts is quick and easy!! (Hiding armor parts can be done at the armor workbench! Its a free upgrade so it wont cost any resources or anything)
-The hood takes up the entire head slot...but its not going to get all the upgrades a piece of headgear would that normally occupies those slots. (like the assault gas mask for example) It, of course, gets the vision modes that come with the Black Widow Hood and I gave it a mask filter upgrade. This means you lose out on a weave upgrade, a lining upgrade, horizon's vision modes and you lose one mask upgrade. This is because the upgrade to the hood is pretty powerful and I hope this balances things a little. I thought about not giving it a filter upgrade either, but it is still a mask so I thought it deserved one.
-Once you find the hood, and have it in your inventory an option will appear in the Tech Lab to build an alternate version. This version uses all of Horizon's upgrades, but looses all of the Black Widow vision modes. I just made it incase you like the look of the hood but want to use it like any other hood/hat/mask in the game.
-The hoods vision modes no longer require the night person perk to upgrade.
