The following instructions are how to get this working on v2.1:
Manually download this mod
Open the .7z file that you just downloaded, go to Files folder and open the colour that you want (NOTE: can only use ONE colour)
Remember that there are two sets that you need, the (Main) and either (No Logo) or (With Logo) or (Institute Logo). You will need to grab the files from BOTH mandatory and the selected folder.
v2.1 of NanoArmor puts textures into the following directory Data/textures/Vasstek/NanoArmor/
The textures that we are going to replace with our selected textures are in /Chrome
Create a new folder in /Chrome and name it "Old" or something and move ALL the files in the /Chrome folder into there. This is your backup in case you want chrome stuff back
Next, move the selected FILES (NOT THE FOLDER) from this mod into the /chrome folder.
Rename the files to look the EXACT SAME as their chrome counterparts. Example -> "NanoArmor_Arm1_d.dds" should be "Arm_d.dds"
With maximum compatibility as the philosophy, we now need to find replacement Specular map textures, as we don't want FO4 to use vanilla speculars, and we don't want the original chrome shininess. Go back one level in the folder directory and open the /Standard folder (the same place where you found the /Chrome folder).
Copy ALL files that end in "_s.dds" and paste them into the /Chrome folder. You can even try to use the "_s.dds" files from the /BOS folder instead. I just used the standard, but /BOS might offer more detail since the BOS specular is digital camo and this mod uses a digital style camo template for all recolours.
Done, you now have your recolor in v2.1. If you have pink textures then you fucked up... Start from step 1 again.
how does this work with vortex and the mod stage folder? I replaced everything in chrome the way you said, but in game my armor is still chrome.
edit: Nvm, I was looking in the wrong folder, got it working. edit2: new problem, that causes me to consistently crash after about 10 seconds of walking around in-game
great seeing a fellow Canadian on hear who makes great mods sorry you can no longer mod to life changes hope you all the best was chatting to vasstek regarding his nano suite mods and you were mentioned how you have this mod to work with his mods and nano helmet re placers as as well and see to ask you to port it over to xbox one to be used with his mods or to get your permission to have them ported over to Xbox one
Something weird is occurring in my game, and I'm not entirely sure why, but this mod for some reason seems to trigger it. I have the original nano armor mod, as is required. I can play the game using the original armor in any of its variations without any sort of negative side effect. Yet whenever I try to install one of these recolors through NMM, the game crashes after an indefinite time (usually 1-2 minutes) with the armor equipped. I know that the textures installed, because the recolor occurs.
I don't understand why that would be the case, because I don't see how a mere texture swap could cause any mod conflicts. The crashes only occur when the recolored armor is specifically equipped, too... If I have the recolor mod active, but am not wearing the armor, the game plays as normal.
For the moment I've resorted to using one of the original color options, but I'd appreciate any insight you might have on how this is possible. I can post my load order if necessary, and I apologize in advance if your mod is not truly responsible.
So this is definitely a very odd report. I have absolutely NO idea why this would happen. Never experienced this and never heard from anyone else who has. As you said, these are only textures, so shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I can think of is maybe you have a bad texture (corrupted during download)? Even a completely missing texture should not cause a crash, just a pink/purple colored item. Does this happen with ALL of the colors or only a specific color?
You could try to re-download. It may be that one or more texture files were corrupted during download? Otherwise I don't have much advice unfortunately beyond basic troubleshooting. I hate troubleshooting myself, but I do it in my own game all the time (such a time sink). But, all I can suggest is
1) disable ALL mods then activate only NanoArmor.esp. 2) run the installer for the recolor pack and select your armor color. 3) test the game for crashing 4) Try all of the textures
I you find that everything works except for a specific color and re-downloading doesn't fix things, let me know and I'll see about getting you a replacement file.
I have the same problem, unfortunately I tried some things, but still have no solution :/ . I really don't know how a texture can crash the game, but it can apparently... Well if u managed to find a solution, please tell me . Thanks in advance (and sorry for the english, not my main language).
I'm pretty busy with other projects right now, but I could give it a try. There are TONS of looks for Boba Fett over the years. Can you grab some of your most preferred images and send me some links in a PM?
