Craftable Custom Power Armor

[Uxion]

My quote from a while ago

 

"I know this isn't really the place to talk about it.

 

But I wish there was a craftable unique power armor in the game that requires an INT 10, 100 in both science and repair, along with completion of Old World Blues DLC, and several collections of power armor (like having the T-51, t-45, remnant armor and the Stealth Suit Mk2 all at the same time in your inventory as crafting ingredients).

Make it be able to run both 'Project Nevada' with 'Powered Power armor' with full functionality.

 

This power armor would have the similar DT of one of the other PAs but will have the Stealth Suit AI in it, injecting morphine and stimpacks at required intervals. It would also have a unique look to it that doesn't look like a retexed version of the already existing PAs.

 

I wish I am skilled in making mods. "

 

While it would be nice if someone actually made this mod for me, I doubt that will happen so I was wondering if anyone is willing to teach me how to make a mod?

The part that I am concerned about the most would be the textures. I know that making a new mesh and textures are very difficult so I was wondering if it is possible to take parts of existing armor/PAs/clothing and combine them into something that looks unique. I am more worried about forming the meshes and the textures though so would anyone be willing to help/teach me?

 

Edit: I should say that having a new mesh and textures would be nice, but since that would take too long/hard it would probably be more effective/efficient to use pre-existing armor parts to make the new power armor.

 

Edit2: As long as you don't add the pauldrons from the existing armors. I hate pauldrons.

 

Edit3: I should have done this from the start but the link to the 'Powered Power Armor' mod is here: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/37983

Can anyone at least tell me how I can get the scripts of the Mk2 Stealth Suit from OWB regarding the AI small talk, stimpack and med-x injection so that it would work on other armor?

 

As in I want the power armor to act like the Medical Power Armor plus the things that make the stealth suit special. Maybe make it so that the power armor is still usable for the stealth suit test thing that upgrades it as well?

 

Please?

Aww man i'd love my Hazmat suit to talk to me! Seriously someone should do something like an implant that would give the stealth suits functionality :D

Honestly it would be much more time intensive to teach you how (and the why of) to make this mod, then it would be to put it together. Not to mention you'd just be re-inventing the wheel....there are tons of great tutorials out there. Punch tutorial into nv nexus or fo3 nexus and you'll probably see 3 or 4 pages of them. Here are a couple; texture replace tutorial, fallout 3 texture tutorials video etc etc. A ton on google, a ton on youtube etc.

Yep you can mix and match. Check out Q's armor mashup.

 

Maybe if you took a look at the wiki or in game and decided which pieces you wanted mixed together (ie a concrete game plan) a modder might be more willing to help you out.

Yeah I can help you a little bit since I'v researched it for a template for my mars suits. It has an object script attached to it (you'll see it when you dbl clk the armor, I'm at work so I can't fire up geck and give you exact id's), but all that does it initiate hte suit barks. Everything is really done through a stealthsuit quest and it's associated script. The quest has the dialogs. the quest script handles stuff like when the dialogs fire off, med x etc.

 

But all of the above is fairly irrelevant. You don't need to reinvent the wheel and copy/re-create the stealthsuit attributes/abilities for a new powered armor. You could simply change the model of the stealth suit to a powered armor model (or custom PA model) and a few stats (like make it heavy armor and higher dt, etc).

 

if that sounds too complicated let me know. I'm not really fulfilling requests right now, but since this is (or at least I believe) such a simple one, I can take a look at it for you when I get home from work.

Just use the method above and you'll get a talking hazmat suit to pal around with.

OBTW yeah you can make it an implant, so it's with you regardless of what armor you use. Just copy the quest and it's script and change the conditions to include the implant (perk).

I looking to see the armor to look practical.

Which means no massive pauldrons that you would see on the T-45d and T-51b, no massive collars from the remnant and enclave armor.

What I do like are the shoulder guards from the enclave armor that sit at the side of the shoulders.

 

Since making something meshes from scratch would be a massive waste of time, I will just try to describe it. (and figure out how to get that 3d program open)

 

Which is harder than I thought it would be since I'm thinking this all together.

 

I'll get back to you on that.

 

edit: Legs and torso armor of the t-45d, internal shoulders of the Chinese Stealth Suit with the shoulder armor of the Enclave Shocktrooper armor.

edit2: It would be nice to somehow make the helmet have a dome head like the Chinese Stealth Suit. But to make it bulkier I guess so that it would actually look like power armor helmet instead of stealth suit helmet.

I think you might have misunderstood, I don't have the time to do your request of crafting a new 3D model. I was only offering to chang the model of the stealth suit to another pre-existing power armor model in response to your query below;

That is fine.

I'm just putting that there because you told me to be more detailed about it so that other modders are more likely to be attracted to help me on it.
