* "I messed up the Critical Effects on Version 3.66, Hotfix 3.67 is out, just install this and and overwrite " *
* "the used Color's .esp File, thanks." *
*** if you choose Vanilla-Green as Color : You Don't need the Hotfix , as this uses the Vanilla Effect Files, no Fix is needed***


This is a Custom Retexture of the Plasma Weapons and their Effects with more Details and Glow on different Weapon Parts for Fallout 4.
New texture Set available under optional Files :

This Weapons have altered scratched and Rusted optics, like they were 200 Years Old Pre War Weapons, Lore friendly

The Weapon Textures have twice the Vanilla Texture Resolution for more Gorgeousness in the HD Version (Optional) , and Normal Vanilla Size in the Standart Verion

Here is a trailer with all Colors in Action:



This is a Gorgeous Retexture of Plasma Weapons and their Effects with more Copper and Style for Fallout 4, chose the color you want out of Eight available Colors !

I modded this because i like the Plasma Weapons of the Fallout Series since the first part. What i missed first was Glow, then i wanted more Colors. After that i wanted better Details and higher Resolution Textures. The Brew here is the evolution of my Modding Knowledge and my Taste for more and better Details...

This is what the Mod does:

- Overrides Plasma Weapon Textures with different Colors, more Copper and Details on Cables, Screws,Fabric,
  Metall and new Plasma on different Weapon Parts
- Overrides Plasma Projectile to different chosen Color
- Overrides Weapon Muzzleflash to different Color
- Overrides Weapon Lensflares to different Color
- Overrides Normal Hits to Chosen Color
- Overrides Critical Hits to different Color
- Overrides Plasma Goo Puddle to different Color

Seven Colors available :

Lightblue, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Lime, Pink and White  (Vanilla-Green,too)


This Mod has been Made with the help of :

Fomod Maker : http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6575/?
Material Editor by Ousnius : http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3635/?



-  I want to thank you all for over  10.000 Downloads, thats awesome and i didn't think that much People would ever use my -  Mod.
Now V 3.x is out, and now the Weapons look like i wanted them. With Environmental and Glow Maps !



Installation :

I Recommend on using a mod Manager like the NexusModManager
The files will override your existing Vanilla Plasma Weapon Textures and Shoot Effects
You can Choose the Color you want on Installing the Mod with NMM.

...

MANUAL INSTALLATION:

If not done for another mod, you firsthave to allow loose files for Fallout 4
I Recommend the Fallout Nexus Wiki for the Infohow to do that :

http://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

Then Extract the Files of the Color Mod of your Choice :

1. First you need to Copy the Rootfiles :

1.0 copy the included Textures Folder to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data
1.1 copy the included Materials Folder to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data
1.2 copy the included Meshes Folder to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data

2. Then you need to determine the color of your Effects by opening one of the PlasmaEffect COLOR Directorys:

2.0.Copy the included .esp to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data
2.1.Copy the included Textures Folder to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data
2.2.Copy the included Meches Folder to Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data
(or just copy the whole Content of the Folder to your Data Directory)

In the End it should look like This and the mod will work correctly [xxx] are Directorys :

[Fallout 4]
[Fallout 4]---[Data]
[Fallout 4]---[Data]---Glorious_Glowing_Plasma_Weapons_by_Diranar.esp
[Fallout 4]---[Data]---[Materials]
[Fallout 4]---[Data]---[Meshes]
