How to dress all Minutemen in their armor

[alexant4]

Hello, Is there a mod that allows you to dress all the minutemen in my armor. I searched all over the nmm, but in the mods I found already preinstalled armor, but I want to dress them all in a different armor.. :sleep:

Heyas Alexant! Welcome to the forums!

Ok for what you are trying to do. These are the two mods that I would recommend. Tho the 2nd one would take some work on your part, and some very simple text editing.

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/59687 is the first mod. You dress the mannequin up in the attire/gear you want the NPC to have, and then zap them with the zapper. :D

 

Or you can do so via batch files. Here are some that are already made. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7295

Essentially what you'd need to do is look up the ID numbers for the items/gear that you want to have, and replace some of the ID's in the scripts. It's really Not hard at all, you just have to know find out what the ID's are.

Interesting, just recently discovered this tool which is similar with more requirements including know-how:

 

Spell Perk Item Distributor

Looks like the "advanced" version of what StormWolf01 posted. (I have not ventured into this because my questions have not been answered).

 

And here is one that has already done similar re-equiping with a replacer (as an example).

Colonial Uniforms - Minutemen replacer available Which I also have not tried yet, but been tempted into messing with W.A.T.M. eventually.

 

At any rate, it should indicate most of the minutemen as per default designations if replacer was handled the least bit reasonably well.

Alexant - Ok the Spell Perk Item Distributor mod that Blinx provides is the one that he's referring to, that does what I was talking about with the batch files.

I'm just gonna refer to it as SPID, to make for less typing :laugh:

What IT does, is takes the same approach as using batch files, but from a different angle. Via Scripts. (Ok, ok yes... bat files ARE also scripts, but much less complicated ones!)

Where instead of creating a simple text file to drop into your root game folder, this mod has a custom file that you make in one of it's folders.

 

The biggest difference is that THIS mod can instantly add what it's been scripted to add, to NPCs over a specified spectrum. Unlike using bat files via console command which requires you to find the NPC, open the console, click on them, run the bat file, and then exit again.

 

If you already understand the FormID system that FO4 uses, this could be a really cool tool. Makes me think of a few things that would be really cool to use it for.

The question that I have, personally... is with Baka Framework. I have no idea why, but I've been very hesitant to install it. For starter.... why did the creator call it "Stupid idiot" in Japanese?

[Blinxys]

I call my computer that [stupid Idiot] all the time. Now, I know how to do it Japanese! :cool:

It's shorter, and just as cathartic!

Let's hear it for cultural appropriation done right... :pirate:

 

But seriously have had Baka Framework for nearly two years and has given no discernable issues to date.

SPID is core to Random Overlays Framework which sort of stands as a form of testimonial from what I can tell.

Maybe it's just a way to say "foolproof" idiomatically. :unsure:

 

Yeah, I have some serious thoughts on how SPID can be useful for myself, but again unsure of proper implementation, or the presence any conducive technical support.

Currently attempting to recruit a few canaries to brave the coal mine in advance of my own trepidations. :dry:

LOL if you really wanna put emphasis on it, you stretch out the first syllable. Like "Baaaa KA!"

LOL In my case, it's Let's hear it for too many comics as a kid, and then anime in the 80's :D

 

Yeah, I share your sentiment there. It's also too bad that it doesn't work on the player. Oh the stuff I could do!

I need a simple bat file to dress ma guards in armor in lasers.
