thanks

 

No problem. I play a western character and shoot for the cowboy/gunslinger archetype. To me they are very iconic to American history. Plus I really like the riot gear armor, the duster goes a long way in providing a western character to the armor, so I'll probably use this for myself as well.

 

For some reason I had a bunch of weird things happen with this model. The boneweight copy script didn't paint all of it, parenting the skeleton to the hat and helmet resulted in one weighed to Bip01 Head and the other to BP_HEAD....but they wouldn't export until they were swapped. But weirdness aside it came out pretty good. I widened the bottom of the hat so it actually looks like it's stretched/pulled over the helmet and the antenna is at (IMHO) a natural angle. So I'm pretty happy with it;

However I didn't get a chance to upload it before I had to head to work, but I'll put it up this evening.

 

BTW if your into the gunslinger avatar, I did a lot of post apocalyptic western themed mods; Ranger dusters on DLC armors, ported steads to ride (brahmin, bighorn & molerat...I'll be doing an update on them shortly, including a Yao guai & a new upgraded buttercup called bittercup), a deathclaw skinned duster (this will be updated soon as well), a mod that allows you to sling two rifles across your back and will soon allow you to have a 2nd holstered pistol, and a little tweaked model mashup of Cass's pants and the desert ranger armor for her to wear. I put together a air cavalry hat for her as well but it may have gotten lost in my recent upgrade.

 

Anyway a lot of western themed stuff (and much more to come) if your into a post apocalyptic desperado.

 

Fancy! That looks nice. Good work!

 

Thanks WHavoc. It wasn't much.....even my (extremely) limited artistic skills didn't have have to work on this one. Just messed with saturation to clean out the green and tweaked the brightness & contrast. In hindsight I should have bumped up contrast in a few places. You'll be doing plenty of same, working on textures for your vault.

 

Also I noticed there was a fair amount of (like 20) marks scratched into the helmet for previous kills. I was playing with the idea of upping that considerably since a player can kill 20 people on a slow day......probably not enough room on the helmet for a players.

i actualy have the two rifle one and the DLC duster one in my load order, i have for a while now lol. yea the riot gear desperado thing is what i do, i find it to be a incredibly badass design, and the elite riot gear is my favorite armour in the base game, my idea for its restats, actualy combine my favorite parts of it and DC ranger armour, my other armour i use a lot, but it didnt fit the look i wanted, which is why i requested this.

 

 

again, thank you VERY VERY much. you made everything 10xbetter

I need to add some stuff like a knife, extra holster, bandana on the leg etc to the dlc dusters...make them look more "used". But your right, not much really compares to the riot gear armor.

 

Here is the link. Same deal (esp and bsa in your data folder). I'd remove the old mod and do a clean save first though, just in case.

 

If you stumble across any mods that just scream post apocalyptic western, shoot me a PM. Later down the road (maybe the weekend) I'll take a look at the wraith stuff

Also did a colt 45 peacemaker (the 357 animation is a dead ringer for it,) in this thread, with two textures . But it's much more an old west gun (single action) than a post apocalyptic western.
