📋 About This Mod
This is the LE3 version of IVAP - The LE2 Version can be found here
There are a few mods out there that add full body armours as torso pieces in the armour locker and there will likely be many more in the future (I certainly plan to). Each one of these mods has to add invisible shoulder, arms and legs parts to the armour locker like the "no helmet" option so you don't have to have the vanilla armour parts visible and clipping with your already complete outfit.
While necessary, there are multiple issues with this:
-
[]Each mod adds their own, quickly filling your locker with unnamed parts (or named after vanilla parts) you don't need. E.g. You may find yourself with several invisible Serrice Council shoulders...
[
]These invisible parts do not reference ANY mesh but the game forces you to load and wear at least one additional mesh piece with your torso and therefore forcing you to wear a visor or another part that might not ruin the look of your armour.[]The bonuses are inconsistent. They can be nothing at all, they can have no description but a single part can have every vanilla bonus in the game making you ridiculously OP without even knowing it.
This mod solves these issues by:
Optionally removing all invisible armour parts from the mods currently published on the Nexus and replacing them with labelled and localized invisible versions of the armour parts available in the vanilla game, including all headgear. The unlock requirements are the same as the vanilla counterparts. When you acquire the Armax Arsenal Legs (looted or purchased), you get the invisible version along with its bonus.
You start the game with your N7 parts, invisible versions of N7 parts and parts labelled simply "None" with no bonuses at all. These exist because a mod might add an armour with a full body bonus like the EGM N7 Slayer armour below and so you can choose to hide everything but the torso piece without adding extra bonuses and making you OP. It's up to you.
If you don't need or want a bonus, then simply don't buy the vanilla piece and it won't appear.
EGM armours come with blank slots but future mods won't need to add them and the blank slots aren't meshes so you have to wear the chest and something else.
All the of the invisible parts I've added reference a tiny single triangle mesh hidden in the body (even the "no helmet" option) so that the game always thinks you are wearing at least two pieces of amour even if you hide everything but your chest piece. You are no longer forced to wear a visor to stop hidden armour reappearing.
All the bonuses attached to the parts I added correspond with their vanilla counterparts and are labelled as such. In English the name is the same preceded by "Invisible" . If you play your game in a language other than Eng
