Description
===========
***Requires Operation Anchorage***
This adds four armored variations of the Chinese Stealth Suit to the Wasteland called Dragoon Assault Armor, Dragoon Light Armor, Dragoon Imperial Armor, and Dragoon Swordmaster Armor. Also included are optional "Addon" items for Night Vision, increased Carry Capacity, and other various things. The set is a WIP, so expect changes or additions in the near future.

Commonly Asked Questions and Resolved Issues
===========
***Please read the following if you have any questions or problems regarding the mod or content pictured on the images tab!***
Q: My game is crashing whenever this mod is active!?
A: This mod requires the Operation: Anchorage Downloadable Content pack. If you have the DLC and continue to get crashes, you may need to relocate the DLC's files (two .bsa files and the .esm) from their hidden Xlive directories to your Data directory for everything to work properly. You can find the files in the following locations, depending on your operating system:
(In Folder Options, make sure "view hidden files and folders" is checked)
If you're using Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC
If you're using Windows Vista:
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC
Q: Where is L.O.B. Enterprises?
A: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/L.O.B._Enterprises
Q: Where is Mama Dolce's?
A: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mama_Dolce's
Q: The toggle effect won't work!
A: The toggle effect ONLY works in 1.8, and only seems to work when you have one version of the armor in your inventory. No fix is available at the moment.
Q: My character's hair disappears in stealth mode and is attached to an arm/weapon/whatever!?
A: Game-related bug. The stealth effect causes the hair mesh to attach itself to your Pipboy, or do other crazy things. No fix is available.
Q: The item codes you have listed aren't working!?
A: Try increasing or decreasing your mod index number, even if it doesn't match the one associated with the mod.
Q: Things aren't showing up!? The suit is white!?
A: Try Archive Invalidation Invalidated [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944]. Also, make sure you download all of the necessary files.
Q: Things aren't showing up!? The suit is invisible!?
A: If wearing the armor causes your character to be a floating head with floating hands, you probably didn't install both the main file AND the update file. 1.7's file is required for the 1.7b update! Also, 1.8's file is required for the 1.8 update!
Q: Where can I find an item found in the images tab!?
A: Ask the user that uploaded the image, or look through the comments.
Q: Where can I find that helmet!?
A: Ask the user that uploaded the image, or look through the comments.
Q: Do you take requests?
A: I don't have much time on my hands, but I don't mind being given ideas/thoughts. By all means let me know what you think and what you'd like to see!
