aaaJNFCamp - A portable Campsite and so much more.

Update: I realised that there were missing textures for the book marker in the main file. If you downloaded the original file there is no problem, but new users will need the uploaded textures, sorry about that!

Update: As requested I've uploaded a file which gives you 6 extra Sniper Nests and 2 portable vending machines - Nuka-Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla. They can be found in a metal box on Doc Mitchell's front Porch. This is just an ESP and requires the resources from the Main File.

Update: As requested there is an alternative to the Main File (but can be used along side if you so wish) This update adds 2 Portable Tents; one which has stuff inside (bed, shelves, containers, a radio etc) and one which has just a bed and a foot locker (so you have the option to fill it with the items from the Main File). The Tent with stuff inside is called "The Tent" and the one with very little inside is called "My Tent". Both can be found inside a metal box on Doc Mitchell's front Porch and when used both will summon their own map markers. This is stand alone and requires nothing from the Main File.

All files (apart from the Old Version, which is now redundant) can be used individualy or together, the choice is yours.

If you downloaded the first version:
The textures in this new version are in a new position and some of the meshes have been updated so these new meshes will overwrite the old ones. As for the old textures; you can delete them if you want to.

Some of the items now have skill requirements in order to use them - The cheat version in the optional folder removes these requirements and you can use them freely right from the start of the game. The cheat ESP also adds a Portable Cheat Box which contains all sorts of goodies. If you're going to cheat; do it in style! Don't put anything in the Cheat Box or you will lose it!

I have tried to find a way to balance the Backpack's container feature, but unfortunately without a script extender I can't find a suitable way. As such it will hold infinite amounts of stuff! I'm sorry about this but you will have to use your own discretion!

Description
-----------

This mod aims to cater for those of us who have taken on Hardcore mode, but it will work just as well for those who haven't. This mod won't necessarily make things easier; just far more convenient.

If you used Diernayr's collection of excellent mods for Fallout 3 then this will be familiar to you.

Inside Doctor Mitchell's house; on the floor of his living room is a Backpack. The backpack can be used as a container; either from the floor or from your Pipboy. As yet I've included no weight gain from what you put in the Backpack, but if there is enough interest I may add a Hardcore Version later that will weigh you down as you add things to the Backpack.

Inside the Backpack you will find:

A portable Tent
A portable Bed
A portable Table
A portable Chair
A portable Torch
A portable Camp Fire (With actual Fire, not just a pile of wood)
A portable Turret (In order for it to shoot enemies you should activate it while standing, you now have 3 turrets)
A portable Sandbag Wall (you now have 3 sandbag walls)
A portable Sniper Nest
A portable Medical Kit (now has a medicine skill requirement)
A portable Chemistry Set
A portable Laboratory Set (now has a medicine skill requirement)
A portable Reloading Bench
A portable Workbench
A Terminal (which contains data concerning the mod and instructions on how to use the equipment)

You will also find a Camping Bowl (which has a survival skill requirement) which works the same way as the Canteen does, only for food (it will periodically feed you and lower your need to eat).

In order for the Camping Bowl to work it must be in your inventory and not in the Backpack.
Those of you who didn't get the DLC Canteen can use this if you so wish:

It's Evhmovover's Vault 101 Canteen and it works very well.

So now you can wander the wasteland all day, then as the night closes in you can set up your camp and defences, take a look from your Sniper Nest, then do a bit of work with your Workbench/Reloading Bench/Chemistry Set/Lab Set/Camp Fire by torch light before healing yourself and going to bed. Good times.

WARNING
-------

When you open the pack container it is possible to put the pack in to it. DO NOT DO IT, or you will lose the pack (at least until you reinstall the mod) and access to any items in the pack forever!

When you pack up the items the name sometimes remains on screen, it will go away when you move your crosshair over something else.

Usage
-----

Drop the required item (i.e. "Portable Tent") from your inventory onto the floor. It will appear as a book with an arrow on the top and the bottom with a red stripe and a green stripe running along the sides (see below for more detail). While standing activate the "book marker". If you sneaking you will just pick the item back up again.
Once activated the "book marker" will magically become the required item.

When you place the tent a Map Marker will be added so that you can fast travel to your equipment should you need to leave it.

Placement:

Tent - Place the "book marker" with the arrow facing outwards from where you want the doorway. The tent will appear with the doorway directly around the "book marker's" postion with the main part of the tent behind the arrow.

Bed - The bed will appear in the centre of the "book marker's" position with the arrow pointing towards the head of the bed.

Table - The table will appear in the centre of the "book marker's" position with the arrow pointing along its length.

Chair - The Chair will appear in the centre of the "book marker's" position facing to the left of the arrow.

Torch - Dead centre.

Camp Fire - Player position.

Turret - The Turret will appear in the centre of the "book marker's" position facing to the left of the arrow.

Sandbags - Position the "book marker" so that the arrow is pointing towards the position you wish to defend.

Sniper Nest - Next to player.

Medical Kit - Position the "book marker" so that the arrow is pointing towards you.

Chemistry Set - The Chemistry Set will appear with its left side on the "book marker's" position with the arrow pointing along its length.

Laboratory Set - The Laboratory Set will appear with its left side on the "book marker's" position with the arrow pointing along its length.

Reloading Bench - To have the bench facing you point the "book marker's" arrow to the left, the bench will appear in the centre of the "book marker" with its length following the arrow's direction.

Workbench - To have the bench facing you point the "book marker's" arrow to the left, the bench will appear in the centre of the "book marker" with its length following the arrow's direction.

When using any of the camping equipment; be sure you are on level ground.

When you set the "Book Marker" on the ground you will notice that it has red and green stripes running along its sides (Where the pages would be if it were a real book). Be sure the green stripe is at the top and the red stripe is at the bottom before activating it or the equipment will be upside down.

Requirements
------------

Fallout New Vegas


Installation
------------

The same as most mods, just extract the folder, then copy everything into your Fallout New Vegas Data folder.
Activate the esp with the Data files option on the game loader and you're away!
Enjoy!
