📋 About This Mod
| | | | | | | THE WORK ON THIS PAGE IS REDUNDANT: FOR ENHANCED HELMET TEXTURES AND UPDATES TO THE ARMOR TEXTURES PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THE \"ADAM\" FILE PAGE. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=43192 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | COMBAT RANGER - HD Version 3. 0 DESERT COMBAT RANGER - HD Version 3. 0 Please endorse if you like this mod, it motivates me to do more! :) A much more significant overhaul than the last, bringing the Ranger Armor much closer to that in the artwork. Also with added gloves and an unconflicting upgrade to the Lower Res versions in the game. I highly recommend using CR-HD in conjunction with Gopher\'s amazing Helmet Neck cover mod.(It helps alleviate a bug in the Vanilla Helmet mesh). Get it here and endorse today: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39509 BASICS: Here it is, a re-imagining of NCR Combat Armor that captures an element of the fantastic cover-art for the game. Overhauled and built from scratch using the various promo images as reference with a better glow texture and improved reflections. Now included is the Honest Hearts DLC Desert Ranger Combat Armor re-texture, available separately and requiring Honest Hearts for use. TECHNICAL: Textures are 2048x2048, my PC cant handle anything larger :( INSTALLATION: To install, drag the data file from the Version 3. 0 folder into your FNV main file. This is all you need to start playing with CRHDV3. 0 OPTIONAL EXTRAS: If you would like the brighter, less realistic lenses, then drag the data file from the Version 3. 0BE folder and overwrite. IMPORTANT: You must install the normal Version 3. 0 folder first. Extras have been added in the form of two .esps, they help to add immersion to the game and keep the armour looking consistent throughout the experience. They do the following: CRHDV303.esp: Changes the mesh used by the rangers at Hoover Dam, they usually use a much lower resolution. (512x512) Also adds gloves to the outfit, no more bare hands! CRHDV302.esp: Contains all the features of the above .esp, But in addition all Ranger outfits in the wasteland (pre-dlc) will now use a matching model and upgraded texture for the gloves. CRHDV301.esp: COMING SOON. THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT, I HOPE ENJOY USING THESE NEW TEXTURES, AND PLEASE ENDORSE, YOU MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE WITH JUST ONE CLICK! :) izFzi

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like FOMM.
- Make sure to load it after any mods that alter the same armor meshes to avoid conflicts.
- If you use NMC's texture pack, install this after it to ensure the retexture takes priority.
