Power Armor HUD Switcher

INFO

Switches the HUD based on currently equipped helmet, or no helmet.

This is really made with first person players in mind, and more specifically, people who want a full helmet look, as if actually wearing one.

(Note, with a little work you can adapt any .nif though, it just requires changing texture paths, theres a little tutorial in the download)

This works by quickly forcing the player out of their power armor and right back in, allowing for the path to the .nif to be changed in the .ini.

There is a little fade out to attempt to hide the ugliness of the force out.  I just like to think of the fade out as the player equipping or un-equipping their helmet.

When you un-equip your helmet, a HUD similar to base game gets applied, with dials and a transparent dash.  Or a empty HUD if you prefer.

When in third person the dash is hidden but the dials still show.  This is the behavior of the .nif itself.  I prefer it.

This plugin is ESL flagged.

THIS CONTAINS NO RETEXTURES OF ITS OWN!

I know that the video might make it a little misleading but thought it would be the best way differentiate, and show it in action.

In order for the HUD to actually look cool rather than just generic, you simply need to copy and paste textures from any other source into the appropriate folders in this mod.

IE: "T45" folder, "Raider" folder, etc, and various mod added power armor folders.  To reset the look, copy the textures from the "BaseBackup" folder back over whatever you added.

Don't change the names of the .dds textures or the texture folder names!

The only textures that matter are the 12 that are inside my folders, anything else doesn't have to be included (but also won't hurt by existing in the folder).  Nor does a texture mod have to include all 12, just put whatever IS included in.  Mix and match whatever.

There are holotape options to:

1) Hide the HUD when you open your pipboy, this is so if you are using textures that will overlap the power armor pipboy interface, you can still use it.

No way to dynamically change the power armor pipboy .nif, so it's the next best thing.

ON by default.

2) Turn on/off my helmet equip/un-equip sounds.  I know not everyone will like them (may add other sound options later).

ON by default.

3) When no helmet is equipped, choose if you want the dials to still show, or show
