About this mod
Adds a toggle-able helmet headlamp & optional visor glow to My Cart's T-45x Light Power Armour mod. Works just like power armor headlamps & mining helmets. Directional light with 6 different lighting options. Made with vanilla assets, standalone mod that does not overwrite original helmet.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Installation
-You must first install the original mod "T-45x Experimental Light Power Armour" by My Cart's team here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41005
-Use a mod manager to install the mod (tested & used with Nexus Mod Manager Community Edition 0.70.8)
-Main file is an ESP Lite. This means that the file is tagged as an ESL but will show up as an esp in your load order. It will NOT count towards your plugin list.
The helmet can be crafted under:
Chem Workbench / Utility / T45X Helmet With Light
-6 light mods include default, extra bright, red, blue, purple & green. They can be crafted and activated at the armor workbench. Visor color can also be changed at the armor workbench.
Notes On The Mod
This mod creates a standalone helmet that adds headlamp functionality. There is also an option to change the visor color. The colored visors are for aesthetic purposes only & do not provide a light source.They do have a subtle glow which is best seen in dark environments. There is also an option to change the visor to a flat black / non transparent visor. The helmet can be crafted at the chem workbench without needing to find a holotape. It needs crafting components , Armorer 2 & Science 2.
Known Issues
Mostly vanilla bugs that you see with power armor headlamps or mining helmets. When you first craft the helmet & activate the light, the light source might be at your feet. Just deactivate the light and drop the helmet. Pick it up again, turn on the light and it should be in its default place.
Just like the vanilla mining helmets, if you enter power armor the light will deactivate. The green light (Vault Boy Light) will display only the green color without the projected vault boy (I prefer the green light). To fix this, usually a restart of the game will work.
Some users are getting pink textures on the visor. There is an optional headlamp only version in the files section.
Note: The original T-45X light power armor file does not come with textures. You need to download one of the texture packs on the files page here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41005?tab=files
