Colors & Items:

❯❯❯ Colors:
This mod includes color variants for my 20 Military Sets. It requires my Military Palette Texture Library:

  • Camo patterns are monochromatic and each set features a distinct accent color.
An additional custom set is included:
  • This variant will load an optional color set that you can pick from Military Palette Texture Library optional downloads.

  • You can have only one optional color set installed at once.

This mod includes toggle items:
  • Toggles are utility items that will modify the shape of a clothing item when equipped.
  • These toggles need to be equipped together with their respective clothing item to have an effect.

In total, 29 items are added:

  • 3x Pocket toggles

  • 1x Belt toggle




Dynamic Mesh & Modules:

❯❯❯ Dynamic Mesh:
This mod has Dynamic Mesh features implemented. ArchiveXL auto-adjusts meshes based on what you're wearing:
  • (Both Vs) - The jacket from Combat Jacket will tuck inside the pants when worn together.
  • (Both Vs) - The right holster from Pistol Holsters will hide the right straps of the pants when worn together.
  • (Both Vs) - The knee pads from Armor Pads Pack will auto-adjust over the pants when worn together.
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping any of the Straps toggles will hide their respective straps
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping any of the Pockets toggles will hide their respective pockets.
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping the Belt toggle will hide the belt.
  • (Both Vs) - Equipping the Carabiner toggle will hide the carabiner.
Note: Gender-specific conditions won't do anything when equipped by the opposite gender.


❯❯❯ Modules:
To equip all items at the same time, you need to use EquipmentEx:
  • Find the items from this mod in my Zenitex Atelier by searching "Combat Pants".
  • To change the slot of an item, hold F over it in EquipmentEx and change its slot to one of your choice.
There are 9 modules spread across 5 slots:
  • OutfitSlots.LegsMiddle: Pants
  • OutfitSlots.BodyUnder: Belt toggle
  • OutfitSlots.BodyInner: Carabiner toggle
  • OutfitSlots.BodyMiddle: Straps toggles
  • OutfitSlots.BodyOuter: Pockets toggles




Refits & Garment Support:

❯❯❯ Refits:
This mod has Automatic Refit Selection implemented. ArchiveXL auto-loads the correct refit depending on gender and body:
  • This mod is for both Female and Male
  • Compatible with the vanilla female and male bodies, as well as the VTK-based body mods: VTK EVB EBB EBBP | RB | EBBRB | EBBPRB | Angel
  • Body mods not listed above will by default load their gender-specific vanilla refit.
Note: No other refits will be added to this mod.


❯❯❯ Additional Refits:
Refits created by other modders for this mod:
  • Nomad: Support for Gymfiend (Up-to-date with mod version 1.1).
Spoiler:  
Show

Due to a lack of time, I can only support
VTK-based body mods, but other modders may add refits for other body mods:
  • If you're a modder and want to create a refit for public use, contact me first.
  • Refits must be similar in quality to my VTK-based refits.
  • I will only accept refits for body mods with an ArchiveXL body tag.
  • You'll be responsible for maintaining your refits if I update the mod, but you'll be notified in advance.
  • You'll be credited for the refit you created.
   


❯❯❯ Garment Support:
Garment Support (GS) is implemented as an optional file. Recommendations for this mod:
  • If using only my mods, the GS file is not recommended.
  • If using this mod in combination with other GS-enabled clothing (vanilla or modded), the GS file is highly recommended.
More information about what Garment Support is and how it works:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • GS is a system the game uses to squish/overlap clothes that would otherwise clip. It is based on a scoring system.
  • EquipmentEx assigns scores to items based on their slot. Higher-scoring items squish lower-scoring ones.
  • Changing an item's slot by holding F in EquipmentEx affects its score.
  • GS is included as an optional addon for better compatibility with other vanilla/modded clothing that supports GS.
  • Modded bodies usually lack GS. If GS isn’t mentioned on a body mod’s page, assume it’s unsupported.
  • However, body GS is optional. It's only used to prevent skin clipping in areas where GS of 2 clothes is active. Skin clipping may occur without it.
  • If skin clipping occurs, you may try using this mod to hide the body parts that clip through.




Gameplay Features:

❯❯❯ Stat Bonuses:
The items in this mod provide stat bonuses when worn in the vanilla slots:
  • Your primary stat increases should come from cyberware and leveling, as intended by CDPR.
  • The stat bonuses from my items will always be minor but still reflect a realistic benefit based on their materials and coverage.
  • The items come in all possible rarities. The higher the rarity of an item, the better the stat bonuses.
Combat Pants:
  • Armor Points: +8 / +10 / +12 / +14 / +16 / +20
  • Resistance (Thermal): 3.00% 3.25% / 3.50% / 3.75% / 4.00% / 5.00%
  • Carry Capacity: +40 +40 / +40 / +40 / +40 / +40


❯❯❯ The Zenitex Iconic:
The mod features iconic variants of the items:
  • These variants have better stat bonuses than the Legendary rarity.
  • Comes with the Zenitex Iconic attunement that counts the number of Zenitex Iconics equipped from the same color set.
  • Only obtainable from Kimiko's inventory at the Zenitex Military Store after the player reached a certain streetcred level.  


❯❯❯ Quality of Life:
Each item in this mod has a unique tooltip:
  • The tooltip is a short description that appears when you hover over an item.
  • It displays the item's set name.
This mod features support for Responsive NPCs:
  • All items that belong to factions have been tagged accordingly. Lazarus is canonically affiliated to Militech.
  • This mod is optional. See the Responsive NPCs documentation for what faction tags do.

Obtaining & Usage:

❯❯❯ Obtaining:
This mod adds standalone clothing items to the game via ArchiveXL.

The items will not be added automatically to your inventory, instead you need to acquire them in one of the two ways:
  • Use my Zenitex Atelier to preview and purchase the items in a lore-friendly way. Download and install both this mod and the Zenitex Atelier (together with its requirements), go to any computer in-game and access the store.
  • Use the Item Codes available in the Articles tab or inside the text file that came with the mod archive. Copy-paste these codes inside the console of Cyber Engine Tweaks and the items will be instantly added to your inventory. 


❯❯❯ Usage:
To find all items from one set in my Zenitex Atelier, use the search bar in the Atelier screen and search for your desired set (e.g., Alpine).
  • To use the clothes, equip them like any other garment available in the base game.
  • EquipmentEx is highly recommended because you will not be able to equip all items from one set at once with the 6 slots available in the vanilla game.
