About this image

UPDATE: Proto Vault Suit is officially released now, available HERE.

It was glowing too much, almost like it had a glow map activated.
I happened to notice this while making a final QA sweep in-game of every texture variant and logo.
I was tweaking the lighting and reflection files for hours to no avail. 
Eventually, I had to darken the diffuse by 50% in order for it to look right with the lighting in this game.

It's now fixed and I will be releasing the mod tomorrow evening. Sometime after 5:30 EST

Those that have their own custom vault suit mesh (CBBE, AB, etc) will need to make some edits inside of Nifskope.
Just need to tell your mesh to look for different material files:

backnumber76.bgsm instead of vaultsuitMnumber111dirty.bgsm
vaultsuitcleanM.bgsm instead of vaultsuitDirtyM.bgsm
vaultsuitcleanMtrim.bgsm instead of vaultsuitdirtyMtrim.bgsm
vaultsuitcleanF.bgsm (for clean) or vaultsuitDirtyF.bgsm (for dirty)
vaultsuitcleanftrim.bgsm (for clean) or vaultsuitdirtyftrim.bgsm (for dirty)

I excluded the dirty male textures because 76 never uses them, even the dirty material files call on the clean textures.
I did include the dirty female textures. Why? Because some of you are weird like that and will want to use them.

    So it will most likely replace the Vault 76 and 51 Suit.

    Will it also replace non-Underarmor Outfits or do we need to do them ourselves?

      This is for the FO4 vault suit model. I have a mod that replaces the FO76 suit already, or you can use your own custom FO4 vault suit mesh, so long as you follow the same naming as I did for the suit and change the material file in the mesh to display the number\logo properly. If you want the suit to replace other items, you would need to do the renaming for that item.

      These textures should work for every vault suit that will appear in the game in the future, so long as you are using a FO4 vault suit model and have done the proper naming and file paths. The only thing I would have to do is the Proto Vault Logos so they replace the new vault numbers, once that content goes live.

      So something I noticed, the Logo/Vault Number is a separate Texture? It isn’t part of the entire suit texture?

      Correct, it's a dynamic portion of the mesh that changes it's texture (number) depending on which vault suit you wear.

      When you dive in to the files as much as me, you tend to appreciate how this game can even function. So many systems and nuances, that make Bethesda games unique, fun, and frustrating.

      Oh don't worry I've been in the files many times.

      My funniest findings where:

      The Piano, Guitar, etc. music files: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/587258627614703646/597321373601497088/Beth_1.PNG
      Not one but several 2 seconds files that loop, replacing any file breaks the entire "song"

      The reason why the 10mm SMG has broken Sights: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/587258627614703646/597321368157159431/Beth_2.PNG
      They forgot (or intentionel) to make the front and rear sight 1 mesh.

      Every Atom Shop item (especially the Outfits) can be aquired by just renaming some files.

      Also found several unused assets from Fallout 4 (Laser Musket, Deliverer), Updated textures for outfits or attachments, although they aren't even in the game (Armored Coat, .44 Bull Barrel, .44 Barrel Camo Blue), and much much more,

      Also, you gotta love the file naming. Making finding things hard without xEdit.
