Nuka-Cola (and other) paintjobs for all Power Armor sets

[Bebinn]

Figures Bethesda gives the T-51 set all the fun little brand name paint jobs, which is my all time least favorite of the power armor sets. I'd love to run around showing some Nuka-Cola brand loyalty, but I hate not being able to do so through the T-60 or X-01.

Bump.
The fact that such a simple mod doesn't already exist just suggests a woeful lack of imagination or talent among FO4 modders.
Hop to!

Strangely enough I found mods enabling every other paint job for all power armor, just not the Nuka Cola or Vim ones.

Yes, such a simple mod, it's not like those textures are highly detailed compared to the others that are just a color and an emblem. Did you consider that, just maybe, nobody WANTS to do it?

Not wanting to do it still constitutes as a lack of imagination. Some folks might be kind enough to apply skill to do something nice even if they don't quite care for it themselves. If a modder were able to apply the existing textures of the T-51 brand paint jobs to the other armor sets, but they don't think to do it simply because they don't care to use such, that's them lacking the imagination to do it regardless.

If it isn't a lack of imagination, then it's just general apathy. It's been requested, at least here, but it still hasn't been done. There's certainly modders who could do it, but they choose not to because doing a favor that's well within their capacity to do is clearly more taxing of their effort to care, than it is taxing of their effort to do it.

It's a simple mod, so go make it yourself and stop acting entitled. We are not your servants, and insulting mod authors is not going to encourage anyone to help you.

So says the person who has shared ZERO mods nor made any discernible contribution to this community.

 

Yes, because we're all just a bunch unimaginative, apathetic servants who exist only to pamper you. Congratulations! You're the new poster child for entitlement.

That unlocks the existing brand paintjobs. I'm looking for the T-51 specific ones to be applied to the other PA sets. The point being that I'm not overfond of the look of the T-51 itself, so it'd be nice if someone could map those paintjobs to more preferable sets.

I'd prefer to use the normal Nuka Cola one with T-60 or X-01, NOT T-51.

Neither of you are assisting Mallios in this regard, and neither of you would have cared one bit to respond to this thread had I not goaded you into it. You were content to just gloss over it and move on. The fact that someone said anything mean spirited to modders is the only reason you bothered to even remark upon this, and it's to me, not the poster. You're ignoring the initial statement just to have it out with me. Congrats.

 

You may not be servants to those who request mods, but you're slaves to defending yourselves against a blanket statement. Why bother reading this request at all if you aren't going to actually fulfill it?

Probably just to start a thread argument.

If you're not going to actually help Mallios with the request, there's no sense in responding to what I said.

 

It's easy in a relative sense; you're taking existing textures and mapping them to an existing mesh. Not creating entirely new things from scratch. I have neither the time nor the resources, but I'll lend my support to the request. You're just here for internet pissing matches.

No, it's not that simple, as I have already stated. The other paint jobs were simple to port over to other types of power armor because they were nothing more than colors. Having emblems and patterns requires that you try to match the background color and texture, then chop out the emblems from the original, then stretch and skew them properly so they don't look warped on the new armor. Which is probably going to be a bunch of trial and error, the most annoying of processes. With something like the Quantum X-01 it's not so bad because there is just the one emblem and it's small, but the Nuka Cola and Vim ones are like a mural across the whole armor. Then, since you've made a new pattern that's more than just color, you also have to create a new normal map at least, and possibly specular. It's not the same, and despite the fact that it has been requested, apparently nobody is interested in doing it, and that's okay.

 

Not wanting to do something has no bearing on lack of imagination or strength of imagination. In fact, this particular mod hardly has any bearing on imagination at all. It's a simple, basic idea, not something creative born out of a maker's mind. Nor does it have any bearing on a lack of talent. Talent is applied where and when the holder desires, not where and when people beg for it. Apathy is allowed. Mod makers can make what they want. They aren't required to care what others request. It doesn't matter whether it's been requested and they 'can't be bothered.' Apparently you can't be bothered either, even though it's such an easy mod. You think mod makers have all the free time in the world to just pop on and start filling requests? You think they don't have busy schedules and limited time, as you claim for yourself?

 

I came in here because I like to try and help people find mods that they may not have realized existed. Look through my post history and you'll see that a huge percentage of my posts are just pointing out that someone's request already exists, or has something kinda close. I checked this thread with that intention, and left a comment for Mallios confirming that, unfortunately, he is right and it doesn't exist. Then I saw your little jab at mod makers. If anyone was looking for a pissing match, it was you, otherwise you would have said, "I'd like to see this too," and left it alone. Take a moment to examine the way you replied and tell me that you truly didn't think that would be inflammatory. Considering your posts aren't displayed with the title, it's likely that others came here looking to help and your post distracted them from doing so. Why should they not defend themselves from blanket statements? Overreaching statements that attempt to characterize whole groups of people are exactly why we get us versus them mentalities and fractured communities, online or otherwise. Why would you take a derogatory tone against an entire group of people that work to supply you with something you want? Why was your statement not, "I hope someone talented jumps on it?" Think about it. Reflect on why you chose the words you did. It wasn't to spur someone to action, you're smart enough to know inflammatory statements don't work for that. And yes, I responded in a similar tone, which I probably shouldn't have, but do you notice that I didn't insult anyone?

 

Do you see how, "I'd like to see this too. I hope someone talented jumps on it," is better than what you used? It gets across the point you claim you wanted to make, a statement of support for the idea and call for action, without insulting anyone.

 

Then you decided to just dive right in and stick with the inflammatory language, dragging the thread further in the direction that your last post claims is the fault of others. Connotation is important, and if you did not intend to be inflammatory you need to better choose your words. Even after that initial statement you could have cut it off on your second post by not posting, or just saying, "I wish someone did want to do it," or "Hopefully someone will want to in the future." You are digging the hole just as quickly and surely as Steve and RedRocket. I'm not going to make guesses at why you posted the way you did, but I think you should put some thought into it.

 

Now, could I make this mod? Probably, but not as well as others. Would I kindof like to see it? Sure, but I also have other mods that I have already started on that are my own ideas, things that I want in my game, and, apparently like you, I have limited time to work in them. Therefor it is not a priority to fill requests unless it is something that I am both excited and interested to have in my own game. I chose not to do it, like other mod makers that may have seen this request, who are likely few in number.

 

I won't be responding to you any more, and I suggest you simply do the same.

 

For Mallios. When I finish my updates for AARP and the Rangemaster I'll evaluate how much of a pain this would be while I choose a new mod to work on. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so if I feel like I can do it justice, I'll consider it. If I feel like the quality I'd want is beyond what I can do, then we'll have to hope for someone else. And before Mjadunn claims that I only make this offer because of his statements, this is the exact thought process I went through when I first saw this request, and was in the middle of working on my own mod, the original Rangemaster version. This is on the list I keep of possible ideas and requests that I think I can pull off in the future, and has been since I read the original post. I made no statement because then, as now, I make no promise or guarantee that I will do it.
