Better Armor Framework

This mod is runtime only, it does not mess with any save files and thus it is completely fine to add or remove it at any point in the game.

All my mods are compatible!

Since a lot of people asked for an easy to configure armor framework, here it is with the same .ini structure as my Better Mage Robes mod. You can now tune every single armor and every upgrade in the game to your liking. The default values are currently the default values of the remake. There is no rebalancing yet, because I have not tested combat enough, but my personal balance is going to follow eventually.

Additionally there is also now an upgrade-gated progression system, which requires you to buy the previous armor upgrade to unlock the next one. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled.

Configuration

You can customize the mod to your liking by editing BetterArmor.ini:

; ---------- Armor protection application ----------

; true  = apply configured values once at startup, then stop.

; false = keep a slow 30s heartbeat that reapplies configured values.

PerformanceMode=true

; true = register F6/F7 / ba_probe_added for the added standalone armor name probe.

ProbeHotkeyEnabled=false

; ---------- Upgrade progression ----------

; true  = higher upgrade tiers require lower tiers in the same armor slot first.

; false = keep vanilla upgrade ordering, but still allow PricesEnabled below.

UpgradeProgressionEnabled=true

; true  = apply the *_COST values in the price section near the bottom.

; false = leave upgrade prices untouched.

PricesEnabled=true
