Version 1.0 - 2011 august 03.

[size="4"]DESCRIPTION:[/size]
The HoloPipBoy 4000 is a texture sets for the default Pip-Boy 3000, it dont change/adds function, just the color. The texture is DOUBLE than normal (2048 instead 1024). You can choose the hologram color from the installer.

Colors that match the actual PipBoy screen:
Amber
Blue
Green
White
Also there are 3 "fancy" colors:
Extra - Purple
Extra - Red
Extra - Rainbow


[size="4"]TOTALLY USELESS ROLE-PLAY DESCRIPTION:[/size]
The HoloPipBoy 4000 is a very-ultra-high advanced piece of technology from a far future beyond. Is very small, but with the use of solid light, force fields, cohered photon infusers and smart uses of variances in the multidimentional subspace tube, can do LITERALLY anything.
There is only a problem: is broken.
Is locked on a "old" PipBoy 3000 simulation and there is no way to restore his original function. But... well, as PipBoy 3000 is working good.

[size="4"]F.A.Q:[/size]
Q. Can you hide the PipBoy when not in use?
A. Short answer: No. Long answer: although I dont even know how to that, the hologram texture is nice to be seen anytime.
Q. Will you add more colors?
A. Very unlikely, I've tested a yellow and a pink color but was very close to amber and purple respectively.
Q. What about a Readius hologram?
A. Nah! The Readius is good as solid. Is a handheld device and a cool variant of the PipPoy, really dont want make it transparent.


[size="4"]KNOWN ISSUES:[/size]
* The glowing effect is not the same on every environment, sometimes glows more sometimes less. This is intended by the game graphic engine and cant be changed.
* On nightvision the glowing effect can be TOO bright! ...but sometimes is nice to see.
* On long sleeves suits the left forearm is missing. I found no workaround for this. If anyone is able to find a solution would be great.
