yngve91 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi. I just got an idea of making a mod that enables you to equip or unequip the Pip Boy 3000 for easy use. There is many mods out there that disables the Pip Boy 3000, but this has a lot of problems, realism for one. So if someone could make an esp that enables equip and unequip via a hotkey or script I think the mod would be very popular as there have been many complaints on how the Pip Boy ruins the look of your character and his/her armour. But since im not much of a modder and certainly not a "scripter" I cant make this mod myself so I suggest someone else interested in this project would care to make it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanorak Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I would like a mod like this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumbs Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've started work on such a mod, but there are a number of problems involved. I managed to script around most, but it seems that there are a number of hardcoded limitations on changing the pip boy. One of them is that it cannot be hotkeyed. As a work around I just equipped it every time the open-pipboy control is called. Another is clipping: It would seem that many armors clip with the pip boy. Bethesdas solution is to simply hide the part of the armor that clip with the pip boy. However, when the pip boy is equipped (or unequipped) the armor does not update, unless the armor is unequipped and reequipped. This can be done by scripting, but when opening the pip boy while in 3rd person, the PC is nude for one frame. Hopefully, I'll find a workaround for that too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngve91 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah I know of the update-problems of the armour you get with equipping/unequipping the Pip Boy but I see that as a minor problem and as you said it can probably be fixed using scripting. But there is actually a way to equip/unequip your Pip Boy via console commands. Its a bit primitive but it works. All you do is typing "player.unequipitem 15038 1" to unequip your Pip Boy and "player.equipitem 15038 1" to equip it again. The equipping process only works once and after that the Pip Boy will get stuck. To overcome that problem reload from your last save game and equip it again. To equip/unequip your Pip Boy glove type "player.unequipitem 25b83 1" to unequip and "player.equipitem 25b83 1" yo equip again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanorak Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Would be great to see a mod like this, I'm sure some scripting will fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yngve91 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah I saw that. Good job and thanks. I also added a guide on how to handle the process via console commands in the meantime, for those who feel more comfortable with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
