Q:
What does this mod?


Short A: It revamps the vertibirds and the implication in the game, now they're a reliable defensive horde, a mean of transportation, and even a friend. 

Long A: 

  • Improved vanilla Vertibirds. We all have experienced how squishy the vanilla vertibirds are, and there's a lot of mods that makes them tougher... well this one does that and goes a little bit further. I reworked what i did in the previous patches and improved more just than add some things to the AI and give them more HP. The VBrids are now PC leveled, so it means that they will scale with player's level with a minimum lvl of 20 and a maximum level of 8.000, wich means that the VBirds will be tougher to fight against (they were fucking helicopters and you could take it down in a few shots, it had no sense). It also improves how they lvl up so they have more HP, better resistances, they move faster and if they're high enough they'll have laser gatlings instead of the normal ones. They also have beter AI wich means that they will be more agressive and shot more time if they're in a good position and if they're heavily outnumbered and with low life they'll try to escape but if they're about to die (<100 HP left) they'll start a course to the target so... yea they're now kind of kamikaze... yay!


  • Adds a new Flare Gun to the game. The new flare gun comes with 3 kinds of gamazines, Marker, FMarker and EMP. The fist one and the second one will move a custom fast travel point in the map, so you can fast travel to it with Verti-Brain and also you can tell him to go to the marker. The EMP one does the same as the grenade one but it could be thrown further away. You can craft it in any Chemistry Station under "Utility" section. If you're updating the mod the flare gun is almost the same as you've seen in the later version of the mod but now i removed the "call hacked VBirds" sorry about this but they had a conflict with VBrain scripts so... yeah... i strongly suggest you to put the ammo in a container or just throw it away, you can keep it i'll try to solve the compat problems but for now it's useless.


  • EMP Grenade. The EMP grenade is a small adition. It will damage ONLY machines and robots so you can trow it to your feet and do not recieve any damage, but it also will let you recover more parts of the robots, with the objective to be able to grind all the things that the requirements have because some things are expensive. Craftable in any Chem Station under the grenade section.


  • Defensive Vbirds. This also adds 8 new defensive vertibirds under the Defense>Turret section of any settlement they will increase the amount of defense in your settlement by 15 the most squishy and 25 for the bomber, the hardest one and the one who fires mininukes... yea... he's a bomber... better take cover because it kills everything. My favourite one is the Missile Vertibird.


  • New Helipad. Well this is more a... INTENSE AND ANOYING request than other thing. The coment section is nothing compared with literaly dozen messages telling me to put a fkin helipad in the mod so yea... i added it but it's for the "aesthetics" (as MxR should say) because seriously it's freaking imposible to make him land in the helipad because of how the phisics of the game works so i have to work a lot on it. I had an idea that i'm going to try to implement in future patches but... yea i do not promise nothing more than "I'm working on it". It's unther Resoruces>Misc Category


  • Verti-Brain. This little one is the key of the mod it has a lot of new content. He's a personal vertibird in wich you can fly wherever you like yes... but you can also do a lot of new things with his program wich you can craft in any chemistry station under the "utility" section. He comes with an AI wich you can activate of deactivate as much as you want under the AI options of the program, and he can carry your stuff, now also you have an entry in the ai section to be able to trade with him without talking him. You can craft him under Resc>Misc in any settlement


  • Pilots for Verti-Brain. In it's program under the "Hire pilot" section you can hire a pilot of any faction you like (included the children of atom because... why not?) and order him to board VBrain with a cost of caps. This is under construction and it's quite more aesthetic than nothing but yea... atm you can use the pilots as cannon folder werever you are xD.


  • Weapons for Verti-Brain. VBrain comes with new weapons and turrets. You can select wich you want in the Wapons section of his program, from the laser turrets to the missile or the mininukes you have a lot of combinations. You also in the same section you can choose a new turret for VBrain it will look exacly as the minigun (beacuse other weapons just mess things up) but it will fire lasers/Blue lasers/Plasma/Gauss projectiles (my favourite the gauss one :D)


  • Functions for Verti-Brain. The new version comes with A LOT of functions for vertibrain and my favourites are under Beta but let's talk about the normal ones. As in the previous version you can CALL HIM to come wherever you're and you can track it's progres via quest marker. Now also you can make him look for enemies in the zone in wich you call him, and also you can make him go to the custom marker, so for example let's say that you want him to go back to base once you call him to come to aid you in combat, well place the custom mark werever you like, call him to come to aid you and then tell him to go back to your base with the new command.


  • In flight orders for Verti-Brain. Woah that's the big thing. It's still in BETA because i have a lot of things to polish but i think that is playable from now on. USE THEM UNDER YOUR RESPONSABILITY. One he's landed you have 4 options, STOP, ORBIT, HOVER, STOP & IGNORE COMBAT, when he's flying or hovering a position you also can select a course to fly NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST. While you're Hovering you can just dismount him and fall with your power armor makeing an ironman. So yea it's like a "free" flying across the commonwealth with your personal Vertibird. ATM i'm implementing a travel to ... function in wich you will can fly to important positions even if you didn't discover them yet. So yea, VBrain is now a tool for exploration :D.


  • Debug menu for Verti-Brain. The new version comes also with a debug option for VBrain and your companions some bugs are quite tricky but i did my best with them and those scripts, if you are still having problems please READ the comments to see if your problem has been answered and if not report it to me in the comments or bug section so i can try to solve it.



INSTALLATION:
Just NMM it. You will need the DLCRobot.esm to make it work. Or in other words you need Automatron DLC because it uses a lot of keywords and some assets of the DLC.



I'm uploading a new video to explain everything beter :/ .... yes with my horrible acent it's like if i'm saying ancient...

I'm sorry for almost everything in this video D: It's just here to let you know what to do and what this does but... it's definetely bad
