📋 About This Mod
This is my first attempt at a mod so please, any feedback is welcome!
- ------------------ UPDATE SECTION -----------------------
- 30NOV:
- Uploaded lorestrict (orange, rank on arm, etc.) version. Currently has only Paladin and Sentinel paints. Compatible with red version.
27NOV: -Uploaded the base textures (no decals) for body and arms. -The STR bonus from the set is not being applied. Looks like an issue with the compiler tool atm so there's not much I can do. I'll stay on top of it though and when there's a fix I'll implement it. Uploaded v1. 1 to fix STR set bonus.
-I'm leaning towards leaving this mod in it's current state until the tools to edit things are developed more. I will likely offer another standalone mod with one or only a few paint jobs that you can use to swap skins in and out on (kind of like how people are overwriting the default Jaws paints, but this way it only adds a scheme, doesn't replace). I am however working on a more lore-strict color scheme for this X-01 version and will upload that when complete.
26NOV: -I have a few requests for decal-less bodies so I'll upload one when I get a chance. To reduce the overhead and keep the mod relatively clean, I'm just going to upload a single version of each 1) completely no decals and 2) one with just BoS. You can then just rename it to whichever body piece you want to replace in the Data\Textures\Armor\PowerArmor\ directory and overwrite. I'll also include a single arm texture you can use to do the same thing to remove the stripes. I appreciate the feedback and it's great hearing even if you don't like some of it, the rest is worth using.
- Value of STR set bonus is being investigated
- Shoulder decals added to a to-do list, might take me a little while - my work flow is pretty awful but it's improving! This would also require a different .esp so to avoid asking people to deal with multiple changing textures and .esps, I won't upload it till I can offer it as it's own standalone shoulder(arm) version.
- ---------------- END UPDATE SECTION -------------------
I wanted to show off my BoS style in the new armor set, so I made this little mod. It allows you to individually paint each piece through a normal power armor station as you would normally. It has options for all armor slots for each rank 1(Initiate) to 7(Elder)
Legs/helmets have the same appearance on all ranks. Arms vary depending on rank, having 1 or 2 stripes. Body has BoS and rank insignia for each rank.
The pieces have the BoS strength bonus if you wear all BoS (can mix-and-match rank pieces). I resisted the urge to really ad
This mod adds a standalone Brotherhood of Steel paint job for the X-01 Power Armor in Fallout 4, accessible at any power armor crafting station. It includes ranks 1 through 7 and does not replace existing skins, making it a safe cosmetic addition for BoS fans.
