Fallout New Vegas
Lonesome Road DLC
Update:
I have added a helmet to the files folder. Just extract to the same folder as the coat and you should be good to go. Enjoy!
Description:
This mod makes some tweaks - to my own taste - on the Elite Riot Gear from the Lonesome Road DLC for New Vegas. I thought that the armor, much like the Desert Ranger Armor from Honest Hearts was great, but needed a little rework. So, I set about some minor tweaks to the texture of the armor, trying to keep the feel of an old worn garment as much as possible. I thought that the green reinforcements were a bit off, so I looked at what I could to to fix them.
The result was a much more military styled Elite Riot Gear. The shoulder, arm, and knee reinforcements were changed to a bare metal along with the chest piece. I know that this results in a very Ranger Combat Armor appearance, but this is actually lore-friendly then. The original Ranger Combat Armor was built from LA Riot Gear to begin with, so it would stand to reason on that Riot gear like this would be as well.
The included .esp file is simply an optional. I play with many realism mods, and this is an extension of that, at least until there is a patch for one of those mods available. It buffs the DT to 45, about the same as the Desert Combat Armor from those same realism mods. I added an extra pound to the weight as well, because protection like that is a little heavier. May revise that to 30 pounds, to match the Desert Ranger Combat Armor as well, not sure yet.
Installation:
Pretty straightforward here - drop the retexture in the main Texture folder as is, and place the .esp in the main Data folder. Check the box in your favorite mod managing program, and archive invalidation should do the rest.
Permissions:
Simple - If you use it elsewhere, give me credit. It's just respectful. Beyond that, have fun!
