📋 About This Mod

General Note : No more support for this mod since late 2011. I\'m working on Skyrim mods now. If you like it, please endorse and vote ! Read carefully the following description ! See the video tab to see the brilliant video Arc-Ranger Snipe made, in which you\'re able to see the modifications my mod brings ;) Co-autor is Al99 Short Description : To me, the Ranger Combat Armor is the best looking Armor in this game. But compared to screens spread, it wasn\'t as beautiful. Moreover, when you wear it you are considered NCR-affiliated, which is sometimes uncool. So I created a new \"Desert Armor\" with better textures than the original one, brighter red eyes. It\'s not perfect, but way prettier than the original one as you can see thanks to screenshots. Black Helmet, no logo, no affiliation, dark armor. I included a retexture of the original NCR Ranger armor in 1. 1 so Rangers look a bit better (but not as good as you wearing the Desert Armor ;) ) Changes : V1. 5 : -removed the power armor stance but brings back clipping weapons problems. You can download the alternate esp to correct that problem, but it gives you the power armor stance when you\'re idle/walking/running -added an invisible balaclava which should prevent any hair/head clipping issue, and covers the neck. -updated compatibility with PN 2. 4 -White Desert Armor is now available in the suitcate. Helmet is still on beta stage but looks well enough right now. PN compatibility as well. -New french and german translation. French translation was made by me, German translation was made by bnxus. Thank you Bro\' ! -Retexture of the Honest Hearts Desert Ranger Combat Armor (darker, badder, red glowing eyes of death). Al99: -Fixed missing balaclava textures -Fixed balaclava clipping issues -The compatibility patch has been corrected to properly add Project Nevada features to all Desert Armor Helmets -Added optional versions for ADAM armor mod users V1. 45 : -Fixes miscellaneous minor bugs, including world model textures and masterfiles update. V1. 4 : (requires Project Nevada to fully work) -new white/grey coat texture -no more weapon clipping -fixed hooverdam battle rangers\' helmets -New stats more realistic -The helmets are fully working with Project Nevada and are compatible with all its features (visorvision with corresponding colors for each helmet, heat and night visions toggle-able) V1. 3 : (in FOOK only) -no more weapon clipping -Nightvision script effect toggle-able via \"N\" hotkey -No more overpowered stats V1. 21 : -Now there are 3 exemplaries of each item in the suitcase, so you can equip your companions with it. -The Armor and Helmets are now fully repairable with other combat armor of the game. -Added 5 new helmets with new eyes\'colors : blue, green, violet, white, yellow V 1. 10 : -Retextures now the original NCR Ranger Armor -Desert Armor modified : added some effects, darker armor, black helmet, n
