📋 About This Mod
This is a port of this mod from Fallout 3 Nexus, as someone actually requested. New Vegas is brighter in general than Fallout 3 was, so this mod goes much better with a darker nights mod than vanilla. Description =========== Replaces the Pip-Boy light with a lantern. Requirements ============ ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated or something of equivalent functionality. Install ======= 1.) Extract the contents of the archive to your Fallout3/Data directory. 2.) Enable PipLantern.esp. 3.) Play the game. Uninstall ========= Deactive PipLantern.esp and remove the relevant folders (meshes/armor/BIDElamp, textures/armor/BIDElamp) Known Issues or Bugs ==================== Lower-end machines might have trouble handling this mod, as it makes liberal use of the sine and cosine functions. It\'s necessary to make it look good. Loading a save that had the lamp equipped may cause it to not show up. Toggle it twice to return it to normal functionality. Version History =============== v1. 000 - November 6, 2010 *Initial release Credits ======= Thanks to LHammonds for the Readme Generator this file was based on.
