📋 About This Mod
Adds several versions of the Chinese Stealth Armor to the game. With the Project Nevada version the armors have stealth field capability, and the helmets have special vision modes.
To install, place contents of the bhkEliteStealthArmorData folder to your Fallout New Vegas Data folder. If you want the high-rez textures, do the same with the ExtrasHighRezData folder. The PN folder in Extras contains an .esp for use use with Project Nevada. It adds stealth fields and vision modes to the armor and helmet (you must have Project Nevada in order to use this file). Just overwrite the other bhkEliteStealthArmor.esp in your Data folder.
The armor can be crafted from Recon Armor (usually available from Gun Runners, or low-rank BoS members) and a stealth boy. Tech versions are made from the base Stealth Armor plus a few other parts (scrap electronics, sensor module, fission battery) The helmets are crafted from Recon Helmets, and the Tech version from the base version (no extra parts needed) All items can be found in a box in Doc. Mitchell's backyard.
For users of the old version: The box in the Goodsprings Schoolhouse is gone, as are the combined armor and helmet versions. If you already have one of these, they will most likely not be removed from your inventory, as I left there base item data alone. They will not be upgradeable however.
Feel free to use this for whatever you want.
Credit goes to Bethesda for making the game and G. E. C. K., the makers of GIMP and NifSkope for their great tools, and the Nexus and it's members for being just plain awesome.
UPDATE Accidentaly uploaded an old version of the tech armor glow map with the high rez textures. The odd glowing spots on the back have been removed.
