It also says it has everything from the original ADAM which obviously had a different take on the same helmet or this mod wouldn't exist. I mean, I downloaded ADAM R, and except that I had to install it manually cuz it hard froze every mod manager I tried I installed it properly, and the only change with just ADAM R was the eye lights and the ear piece. No blood. No shadows. No rust. Also "covering all Ranger-related armors in both the vanilla game and the DLCs". Where does that include mods that are specifically meant to modify things that are already modded? Plus again I don't see it anywhere on the ADAM R page. Only custom thing the description says it has is a Fafnir edit.
I never had any issues downloading the mod with Mod Organizer 2 what mod manager did you use? Adam reborn is a continuation of the original Adam mod so it's going to be different from this mod and it doesn't include modded stuff because that would need to be patched by the user and I have no idea what a "Fafnir" edit is I just checked the description and it doesn't mention that feel free to tell me if I'm wrong here's the link ADAM Reborn at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community (nexusmods.com) feel free to ctrl f and put in Fafnir it does say anything about that.
Also, I just linked Adam reborn for people to see because Adam reborn does more than just retextures the ranger it fixes issues with the original Adam reborn mod adds new armor to the game that you can choose not to add in the fomod rebalances all of the armor added new female meshes that didn't have them initially and, on the mod, page the author says this would be Complimentary to their mod and I agree I use both mods and I don't have any issues.
Okay so, my bad for one, swear your comment originally said something a little different but either way I took at as you saying this mod was already in ADAM Reborn since this was originally for regular ADAM. I'm using FOMM, I know it's kind of crap but I'm kind of slow and I don't see why it should matter since ADAM Reborn is supposed to be installed as a Fomod but when I try to do that FOMM just freeze indefinitely, and the only problem I've had from installing ADAM Reborn and this mod together manually (as far as I can tell) is that there's the regular version and the custom version with the bottle cap and bullets. In the screenshots for this mod, the regular version has the writing, but in it's textures files it does not. The custom version adds the writing back but the next problem comes with using these two mods with https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/81755?. Works just fine with the regular version and glows almost perfectly but the custom version doesn't glow even when I added that mods files to ADAM Reborn's and this retextures before reinstalling them.
I did say it was in the original mod that was my mistake this mod isn't included in Adam reborn I edited my previous comment. Yeah, FOMM Is pretty outdated I think the guide viva new Vegas explains why FOMM isn't really recommend especially compared to newer mod managers like mod organizer 2 and installing Adam reborn manually probably messes up the FOMOD I personally just use Adam reborn I'm not really picky and that mod you linked probably needs a patch for it to work with the custom version I'm not sure I don't use that mod.
Well I got the writing back. Just had to swap the names of the textures in the desert helmet folder for both the ADAM folder and nvdlc02 folder. I don't really expect either mod author to try to make them compatible I just need to figure out a way to make the customized version replace the vanilla model instead of being it's own model so the glow is there and I don't have to actually craft the thing. Just slap them onto it like I did with the writing, but I have no clue if putting the accessories.dds into the nvdlc02 folder and renaming it would work, or what to rename it to. Like I said, besides the lighting issue and the writing not showing up I've had no problems from installing ADAM R manually. They need to seriously overhaul FOMM it's the easiest to use for my tiny brain lul
Unlike the screenshots here the uncustom version of the helmet doesn't have "Mama Forgive Me" or other writing on it. It's even blank in the texture files.
For anyone not getting writing on the base version of the helmet even with the top file, installing this will overwrite the textures from ADAM Reborn. So install ADAM Reborn, then this, go to your general textures folder and find the ADAM folder, get to the desert ranger helmet textures folder and just swap the names of "drhelmet.dds" and "drhelemt02.dds" then copy the new "drhelmet.dds" into your vanilla nvdlc02 desert ranger helmet textures and rename it to the same as the vanilla texture "nvdlc02crhlemet.dds". This will for whatever reason remove the writing from the customized variant from the full ADAM Reborn mod though. If anyone knows of a way to do something similar to make the customized additions appear on the base version WITH this retexture I'd greatly appreciate it.
i dont understand how to install it properly. i keep having the original textures and also using the original ADAM mod. ive copied the data folder and droped it into my FNV folder am i missing something
Put the mod lower in the boot than Honest hearts DLC. Or delete the files of the clean version from the folder and give their names to the files with the inscriptions. But then if Honest Hearths will be lower in loading the mod will crash
