Powered Armor General Flags

Howdy!

 

So Powered Power Armor isn't recognizing T-51b as powered armor anymore, and I'm willing to bet it's because the JSawyer mod changes the Biped Data general flags from "Powered Armor, Heavy" to "Has Backpack, Heavy".

 

(If this is obviously wrong, please, tell me - I've little experience with FNV modding and am working from "common sense" - and I know that can lead down dead ends that would be obvious to someone with more experience)

 

If anyone has a moment, I'd like to know if, simply using FNVEdit, I can add the Powered Armor flag back in alongside the JSawyer tags, or what exactly I would lose by reverting to the original flags. Frankly, I have no idea what changing them to "Has Backpack" actually DOES. Nothing about the armor seemed to change - obviously it's a meaningful difference, but damned if I know why.

 

So beyond the specifics of "How do I get PPA to recognize T-51b again?", I'm really asking about what effect the JSawyer changes had to begin with, and the broader question of what these flags are and mean to the game. WHen are they checked? By what? And so on.

 

This is a very general, beginner-level question, so thanks in advance to anyone with the patience to indulge it!

 

EDIT: Reading the JSawyer readme more carefully, I see he did this on purpose, presumably because he didn't like the Power Armor Training concept. Weird! I love it - keeps the Brotherhood on a bit of a pedestal.

EDIT: Aaaaand it seems the "has backpack" affects where you place weapons when you put them on your back.
