Power Armor Visual Enhancement (PAVE)

Power Armor Visual Enhancement replaces all the power armor textures in Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 and adds custom gloves to each armor. It supports TTW and Fallout 3.

The T-51 and T-45 power armors have custom-made normal maps baked from high poly models. Other armors have a mixture of upscaled and custom-made normal maps.

The Scorched Sierra power armor helmet is retextured in this mod, but using it in-game requires a separate mod.

To be able to use the TTW/Fallout 3 power armors, you'll need to have TTW installed, or you can install PAVE into Fallout 3.

If the textures don't show up in-game, try this ArchiveInvalidation File Generator utility. Make sure PAVE overwrites any other mods that modify power armor assets.

Use Power Armor Reshape alongside PAVE if you want a bulkier appearance for power armors.

- Added a 2K version and changed plugin names.

- Fixed the slightly dislocated arms on all T-45 armors.

- Overhauled all power armor textures.

- Merged the mesh patch to the main file.

- Fixed various small issues.

- T-51 and T-45's all-metal versions no longer share the same glove texture.

- Fixed compatibility issues with TTW's APA MK1 armor

- Improved the skinning on the gloves. Now the armored finger segments don't stretch.

- Added a retexture for Fallout 3's pink T-45d variant.

- Changed the mod's folder structure. Everything is the exact same otherwise, but every power armor has its own folder with separate nif files for compatibility reasons. This makes it incompatible with any existing patches, although to my knowledge there are only a couple at most. One of them being Webb's TOTNW patch, but users of that can still use the previous version of PAVE for the time being.

- Added environment mapping to the metal and glass parts of power armors. Previously only Enclave armors had it on the helmet lenses, but I felt like the T-51 and T-45 needed it to look more metallic.

- Deleted some unnecessary stuff that was somehow in the APA MK2 Tesla nif.

- Assigned the correct gloves on the BoS Lyons' Pride T-51 and T-45 power armors.

- Fixed the messy TTW plugin so that it no longer reverts TTW stuff and doesn't have any unnecessary edits in it.

- Made the TTW plugin standalone. Now you no longer need to have both plugins enabled if you use TTW!

- CoS Recon Armor from OWB now uses PAVE textures as well.

2. 1 Plugin patch

- Star Paladin Cross's armor uses PAVE meshes and textures now.

- Female characters wearing Brotherhood T-45 now have the PAVE meshes and textures instead of default ones.

2. 1 Compatibility Plugin Patch

- Adds Wombat's scripted plugins that shouldn't conflict with other power armor related mods or anything that touches power armor
