Is there a way to add 1000 Radiation Resistance to a Hazmat Suit from A Mod?

[Deleted18049544User]

I have a mod that comes with a hazmat suit. It offers no rad resistance. Is there a way I can edit this in FO4Edit to add the standard 1000 the default Hazmat Suits give? Can someone explain how or show me a tutorial that shows how? Please and thank you.

Sure, I can tell you. It's simple :D

Open up FO4Edit, de-select all the other mods, then select just the mod which has the hazmat suit that you want to edit.

Under that mod, expand the Armor section.

Find the hazmat suit - it might help to look at the three organization buttons at the top of the mods list and click the Name text, so that all the armors are organized by name.

 

Now, over on the right side of the screen it shows all the armor attributes and whatnot.

Scroll down to the DAMA - Resistances (sorted) section.

In the white space beside the DAMA - Resistances (sorted) text, right-click, and then click Add.

Now you should have a Resistance expandable section which has a Damage Type of NULL.

Double-click on the NULL text, and just scroll with your mouse's scroll wheel until you see dtRadiationExposure. Or type in dtRad and it'll show up.

Then underneath where the text says Value 0, just change the 0 into a 1000 or whatever you want,

 

The hazmat suit might show up under Clothing instead of Armor.

Let me know if my instructions are bad. If so i'll go ahead and make a quick video for you. :3

Thank you so much. I tried with FO4Edit and couldn't get it to save. So I took a look at Creation Kit and got even more confused. Now with your instructions, I should be able to get through it. I appreciate the assist,

 

EDIT: It worked!!!! Thanks a lot.

When you're done editing in Xedit, and the changes are what you want to keep, just hit CTRL+S

There's also a button at the top-left corner of the FO4Edit window (looks like 3 horizontal bars) that you can click, and it will give you the Save option.

Also also, you can just close FO4Edit and it will pop up with a window asking if you want to save the changes you made to the mods listed, and you can just click Yes, and the program will then continue to close.

But sometimes - not often - it will refuse to save for whatever reason, no matter what you do. But that's pretty darn rare. If it happens repeatedly, you got other probz.

I have it down to where I can add the rad resistance. Even figured out how to add SPECIAL stats. How would I do it though if I had a particular set of clothing that I wanted to add all resistances and create a basic all purpose set of armor that I could use without having to concern myself with power armor, leather or metal/raider pieces or whatever? I thought maybe there was an all option on the pull down menu but I didn't see it there. And I tried to add them individually all on the same line but once I did, I couldn't get it to save properly.

If you want to add additional resistance types to a piece of armor, just do the same thing you did with the Radiation resistance.

Right-click the white space beside the DAMA - Resistances (sorted) section, click Add, and then change the NULL into whatever type of resistance you want.

Type in dt, and the pull-down window will jump straight to every type of damage (dt stands for Damage Type) in the game.

And then, beneath the damage type, the Value will say 0. Just change that 0 into whatever number you want.

 

Each damage type needs it's own little line beneath the DAMA - Resistances (sorted) section.

You can't just add every single damage type to a single line.

Just repeat the exact process you did when adding Rad resistance, over and over, for each different type of damage.

 

Again, if you feel like you want a video for this, just let me know.

Hey! You seem super knowledgeable, and I'm very new to this. I'm aware that the default Hazmat suit has an additional hidden 'radiation reduction' modifier. Is there a way I can add that to a piece of armor or clothing as well?

 

Edit: Nvm, I figured it out.
