About this image

So I'm working on implementing my own version of the Covenant set.

Features so far:

• Snap points for everything, carefully chosen. End caps to concrete walls and to the covenant wall pieces. Covenant wall pieces snap to the end caps/posts. Distance calculated so that the wall pieces snap slightly into the posts, ensuring that the barbed wire will touch the poles at the top.
• Elevation snaps so you can adjust the height of the wall as it moves through terrain. Elevation calculated so that the barbed wire should still touch the poles for each snap.
• Vanilla pieces only - no homemaker meshes used.
• Snap points along the top of each side of the wall that the turret platforms snap to.
• Turret platforms also have an 'autoplace' snap that works on most walls, similar to a shelf. So they're easier to use everywhere.
• Replace the vanilla covenant meshes so that the walls already IN Covenant will have the turret platform snaps - in case you need to build more of them.
• additionally, mesh replacers for the covenant houses that feature door snaps that work with vanilla doors. I won't be making the prefabs craftable or anything like that but it should make it much easier to replace the doors, which makes it easier to actually use Covenant as a settlement. These are implemented and tested, they work (in fact they work well enough that I became confused why bethesda didn't already do that) I'm just fine tuning the snap positions so that the doors don't have any obvious gaps at the top. Homemaker doors work great. I might make my own versions eventually from the vanilla meshes.
• Everything adds in its own 'Covenant' category under the vanilla Concrete menu via a script. I broke up the Covenant category into barriers, endcaps, and 'misc' which so far is just the turret stands. More smaller categories makes browsing much much faster, especially since you'll need to be doing wall segment - post - wall segment back and forth a lot and possibly choosing a new one of either each time. Fewer key presses.
