Donations
BACKGROUND
I love Fallout New Vegas, it's my favorite Fallout game. I used to play it with a huge number of mods and made several personal mods for myself. At least 4 mods I used from the Nexus were entirely related to ED-E and nothing else.

OVERVIEW
I have altered, expanded upon, and invented as much as I reasonably could from the original mod without learning to animate, which I hope to one day be able to do so I can add in Lonesome Road ED-E's animations(if you can do this already, PM me for cooperation).

ADDITIONS
Spoiler:  
Show
Joining a faction(actually joining them, not just doing a single mission) unlocks related upgrades and items. the factions are as follows:
BOS:
Spoiler:

Armor upgrade, BOS medallion, holotag for ED-E

Institute:
Spoiler:  
Show
Weapon upgrade, Institute medallion, Courser chip

Railroad
Spoiler:  
Show
Stealth upgrade, RailRoad medallion

Minutemen
Spoiler:  
Show
Combat support upgrade, Minutemen medallion


Upgrade boards can also be crafted by the player, increasing the Camarader-E perk's rank, see Integration section for details.

Clothing: a great many base-game hats can be converted to be worn by ED-E, so long as they wouldn't clip inside his chassis.

Voice/combat options: Silent mode, and attack distance settings. Find them in the dialogue.

Multiple short quests:
Quest 1:
Spoiler:  
Show
distress signal to find and repair ED-E's chassis

Quest 2:
Spoiler:  
Show
learn about ED-E and how it got here, then recruit as companion

Quest 3: Starts at Affinity 250
Spoiler:  
Show
search the glowing sea for an eyebot that has something ED-E wants
Spoiler:  
Show
holotape that unlocks movie references

Quest 4: Starts at Affinity 500 
Spoiler:  
Show
search Vault 81(2 guesses where) for another item ED-E wants
Spoiler:  
Show
holotape that starts up his radio station with 85 songs


Radio:
Spoiler:  
Show
ED-E's radio adds 85 period appropriate songs to the game, played in random order much as Diamond City radio does. Unlike Diamond City radio there is no host, and all of the songs are related to Boston or Massachusetts exclusively(singers, composers, musicians, content).
I have no rights to these songs, all credits go to their original writers, composers, musicians, and singers. Please don't take the mod down lol

a calling card gets stuck to ED-E after the initial quest is finished


Affinity works, ED-E only hates murder, everything else is Piper's likes and Deacon's love affinity events. So the affinity should only go down if you're a murderhobo.
Upon reaching max affinity you will get a companion perk.

ED-E has his own companion script and slot, so he shouldn't take up room for another companion. This should also not conflict with the mod that adds Dogmeat's own slot, therefore you could hypothetically you could have 3 followers.
ED-E has the Protected flag so only the player can kill him, but even if you do you can simply repair him again.

All upgrades are craftable at the chem station, or in the case of upgrade boards can be found on eyebots.

ED-E shares its Enhanced Sensors with the player while recruited as a companion.
The Camarader-E perk also makes a return, giving the player a suite of services which expand with each new rank:
Rank 1:
Spoiler:  
Show
allows the player to alt activate any power armor and repair it on the spot, anywhere.

Rank 2:
Spoiler:  
Show
allows the player to have ED-E craft various energy-based ammos

Rank 3:
Spoiler:  
Show
allows the player to have ED-E craft ammo AND explosives, grants an energy dampening field for -10% damage from energy weapons

Rank 4:
Spoiler:  
Show
ED-E's energy field also increases both of your energy weapon damages by +5 

Rank 5:
Spoiler:  
Show
ED-E's combat sensors are improved, giving you both +5% to hit in VATS



INSTALLATION
Use your mod manager to install, or you can manually place the files from the zip archive to the Data folder of your Fallout 4 installation.

UNINSTALLATION
Dismiss ED-E as a companion, and then make a save. Uninstall the mod, run the game and make a fresh save without overwriting. Confirm everything is working as it should be. Contact me if there are issues you believe have arisen from the mod/uninstallation

FUTURE PLANS
Bug fixes, if there are any?
Add Lonesome Road's ED-E animations
Add new crafting station for ED-E upgrades? unsure
