Changelogs
Version 3.1.0
Added optimized MCM menu (only runs during pause menu). The mod now supports changing settings mid game
Converted mod to use new system for adding Recon Armors to NPCs. Power Armor added through script will now have Recon Armor added alongside it.
Changing the Under Armor Required settings during a playthrough will no longer result in naked NPCs. If the setting is made more restrictive, NPCs that lack recon armor will be given it the next time they try to equip Power Armor
Mod now requires the Complete Power Armor master file, which is needed to provide interoperability between my new power armor mods
Fixed potential crash when equipping armor from the Pip-Boy
Added support for The Frontier Armors
Script optimizations and improvements
Version 3.0.3
Added support for Courier 6 Power Armor
Version 3.0.2
Improved Rebuild the Capital compatibility
Minor compatibility update
Version 3.0.1
Minor update for improved compatibility with new expansion mod, Unique Under Armor Effects and Faction Armor Expansion
Version 3.0.0
Power Armor can now actually be prevented from being equipped (if those options are enabled), as opposed to being immediately unequipped if the player is not wearing recon armor. This is thanks to some awesome new ShowOff functions. ShowOff 1.50 is now a requirement.
Under Armor can no longer be unequipped while wearing Power Armor again. This is now possible in a safe manner because of the new ShowOff functions
Modified Under Weight setting. Instead of Under Armor weight simply being removed, the wearer will have a percentage of the armor weight offset from their current inventory weight. This applies while using any Under Armor or Recon Helmet while wearing a Powered Torso supported by the system. PA Training perk is required for the benefit. Do not use this and the FO4 Power Armor Features carry weight option at the same time
Removed Object Effects option. Regular Recon Armors now have unique effect that specifies they don't work while wearing Power Armor. All other effects will work while worn under Power Armor
Made required Under Armor setting more granular. Under Armor can now only be required for T-45 or Salvaged T-45 armor or helmets, while still having the system work with non-T-45 armors.
Separated Under Armor Required setting into different settings for Armor and Helmets, allowing Body Armor to require Recon Armor, while helmets do not for instance
Separated Recon Armor and Unique Armor Chance into separate settings for Armor and Helmets
Excluded certain named NPCs from being given Recon Armor randomly (unless it is required to wear their armor), to ensure visual continuity
Changed Under Armor added to NPCs to use bipedless objects. This greatly improves compatibility with NPCs that have their helmets unequipped, and is far less invasive
Improved Script to handle NPCs that are unable to equip Power Armor. They will now properly equip the best armor in their inventory that is not Power Armor
Cleaned up messaging system, so player will be correctly notified if they need to acquire Power Armor Training AND Recon Armor in order to use an item
Added support for missed Army Recon Armor from TTW
Removed Star Paladin Cross' permanent Recon Helmet
Added help menu entry describing mod functions. This will appear the first time you attempt to equip Power Armor (unless Tutorial Killer is installed)
Enclave Armory Master in Broken Steel will have full Composite Recon Armor if Recon Armor works with all Power Armor
Initiate Reddin will use BoS Under Armor instead of Lyons, and Initiate Jennings will now have Brotherhood Recon Armor and have a Recon Helmet in TTW (as his helmet is lying on the ground beside him)
Gave dead Still in the Dark Paladins Recon Helmets
Fixed some NPCs with Faction armor receiving the wrong under armor
Added integration with my new Power Armor Chassis mod. Incompatible settings from Recon Under Armor will disable themselves if using that mod
Added B42 Descriptions Support for Under Armor that had a description available
Added support for Rebuild the Capital. It's power armors are correctly tagged for the T-45 only option, and it's under armor is converted to work with the system
Added support for STARS TTW - Sweet's Total Armor Rework System. Its Power Armors will be correctly setup for the T-45d Only option
Large Script optimizations. Moved duplicated Armor/Helmet code into single functions to reduce code duplication
Added checks and warnings for merged Recon Under Armor plugins, as these cannot be merged safely
Version 2.3.0
Revised mod to use new CallAfterFrame function from xNVSE 6.2.8 instead of game loop callbacks. This is more efficient, and fixes some potential small bugs
Adjusted reequip script to use TestEquippedSlots from JIP LN NVSE. This resolves a small potential issue with irregularly slotted recon helmets, and greatly improves efficiency function
Added event handler to catch under armor that could be removed from an actor without being converted into recon armor
Added version checks for xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE, and JohnnyGuitarNVSE, as very new versions of these are now required
Version 2.2.0
Revised recon armor distribution scripts to use new Johnny Guitar functions. Naked NPC issue is now resolved. Johnny Guitar 4.80 or higher is now a requirement. Huge thanks to c6 for making these functions for me. Thanks also to PassionateLobster for helping me to debug the initial issue
Forwarded changes from TTW 3.3.2
Added failsafe to prevent naked NPCs
Removed quest script and adjusted mod to use JIP Script Runner
Added ySI - Sorting Ycons support
Version 2.1.0
Under Armor can now be unequipped while worn. This will cause the equipped power armor to be unequipped, if Under Armor is required. This fixes a number of potential bugs with items being removed from the players inventory
Added system for distributing Unique Under Armors to random NPCs. NPCs with a power armor have a percentage chance (default 5%) to have a unique recon armor instead of their faction armor. These Unique Armors can also be bought from Durga, Torres, and the Gun Runners
Added support for new expansion mod that adds Under Armors with Unique effects while wearing PA
If Recon Armor is set to be optional, NPCs now have a percent chance of having Under Armor. Configurable in the ini. Default 50%
Adjusted how armors are given to actors with power armors to prevent issue when npcs with leveled armor reevaluted there lists
Fixed BoS NPCs in Hidden Valley not unequipping their helmets when not in combat
Fixed Jury Rigging allowing worn Under Armor to be used for Repairs
Version 2.0.1
Fixed small issue in which the wrong recon armor could be equipped if an actor had multiple suits
Optimized hotkey code and removed crash and duplication error on unequipping
Version 2.0.0
Rewrites to improve compatibility and eliminate crashing. NPCs now use simpler implementation method, fixing the crashing the could occur in areas with large numbers of npcs in power armor
Optimized and streamlined scripts. Eliminated duplication glitch and potential crashing
Bound Recon Armors added by mods to specific Under Armors, preventing numerous bugs that could happen if a mod was uninstalled, or load order changed
Compatibility with TTW 3.3
Added weight multiplier option for underarmor
Added option to make Recon Armor optional
Added option to preserve object effects from recon armor while wearing PA
Message that appears when player does not have Recon Armor accurately reflects state of the T-45d Only option
Version 1.6.2
Fixed issue with Arcade not giving the Player the Gannon Family Armor. Thanks to olvelsper for alerting me and helping me test the fix
Version 1.6.1
Fixed issue with Daisy Whitman's and Orion Moreno's power armor training dialogue not triggering. Thanks to olvelsper for alerting me and helping me test the fix
Version 1.6.0
Rewrote the scripts that re-equips the actors items when they fail to equip Power Armor because they lack Recon Armor. They will now re-equip everything that was unequipped, instead of only re-equipping items in certain slots.
Version 1.5.0
Changed responses to Sentinel Lyons giving the player armor to make it more clear what is being given with each option
Fixed bug where the PostLoadGame handler would not run due to missing arguments. Thanks migck
Version 1.4.0
Added feature patch for TTW, which alters certain scripts which award Power Armor in order to improve compatibility. These focus on Mr. Crowley and the T-51b (if only T-45d is off), and the Lyons' Pride, who are now all properly given helmets at the start of Take it Back. Also, the player now gets the Recon Armor as well as the Power Armor at the start of Take it Back (as well as the option to only take Recon Armor, or nothing at all)
Forwarded game hour fixes from TTW to Remnants Power Armor Training scripts
Version 1.3.0
Added compatibility for Project Nevada's Advanced Recon and T-45d Armor
Added support for unique Recon Armors for the Boomers, Legion, and NCR. Another mod would have to add these, but the lists are now implemented to support it
Rewrote the faction specific armor distribution script to be more compatible and easy to update
Added Basic compatibility for Powered Power Armor. Under Armor from PPA will now operate exactly as other Recon Armors do when using this mod, and the PPA Under Armor scripts will not be used. All the under armors effects remain intact, and they use the same armor forms as they do in PPA. Composite T-45d armor is patched to work with the T-45 only option (This is still untested. PPA will still probably do some things that don't make sense for it to do if using this mod. This is the best I will do, as I don''t use PPA)
Version 1.2.1
Rewrote Arcade retrieving and giving the Gannon Family armor scripts to make more sense and prevent potential item duplications
Version 1.2.0
Fixed crash when unequipping Power Armor and not using NVAC. Stability improved for everyone
Rewrote Arcade and the Enclave Remnants getting their Power Armor scripts to be more compatible
Player will now recieve Recon Armor when given Power Armor by the Brotherhood or the Remnants (assuming that Remnants Armor needs Recon Armor). These scripts have also been rewritten in a more compatible manner
Version 1.1.0
Reduced delay on some callbacks to improve smoothness
Actors which have there armor or helmets unequipped in on load blocks are no longer forced to re-equip them
Rewrote the Elder McNamara -> Elder Hardin clothing switch script to be more compatible
Allows characters to equip Recon Armor under their Power Armor. The mod works with the player, followers, and all NPCs.
In order to equip Power Armor (either all Power Armor, or only T-45d models. Configured in ini file), any actor needs a suit of Recon Armor or a Helmet (this can be configured in the ini to be optional). NPCs that start the game with Power Armor are automatically given recon armor(with faction dependent versions if you are using TTW). This effects all NPCs, including those added by mods.
When Power Armor is equipped, the actors Recon Armor is automatically switched with an identical version without a Model, that can't be unequipped. When the actor unequips their Power Armor, if they don't immediately equip another set, the Under Armor will be replaced with the original Recon Armor. The Recon Armor will be equipped if the actor did not equip anything else when unequipping their Power Armor.
Features
Fully compatibility with all NPCs, in vanilla, DLC, TTW, and all mods
Compatible with all instances of actors being given Power Armor in the base game and TTW (with optional patch), such as the player at the end of the Brotherhood quest line, or Arcade and the Remnants at the end of their quest
Can give unique Recon Armors depending on faction. For instance Lyons' Pride and Outcast Recon Armors will be given out to appropriate NPCs if using TTW
Option to only affect T-45d style armors, or all Power Armor (defaults to all Power Armor)
Option to require Recon Armor to equip Power Armor (defaults to required for T-45 and Salvaged T-45 Armor, not required for any helmets)
Option to offset the carry weight of Recon Armors while worn with Power Armor, if the actor has Power Armor Training (defaults to off)
DLC and TTW armors are automatically added to the correct lists, and are fully supported without any extra work. An additional patch is needed for TTW, in order to edit the scripts for some NPC's who are given Power Armor after they spawn. With this patch Sentinel Lyons will give the player Recon Armor as well as Power Armor before Take it Back (the player can also choose to only take the Recon Armor, or not take anything at all). This patch is found in the optional files section
Fallout 4 Power Armor Features is recommended. The Scorched Sierra Power Helmet optional is automatically added to my lists if it is used, and it has many other cool PA related features. The carry weight features from both mods should not be used simultaneously.
ySI - Sorting Ycons is supported. All Under Armors in the mod are patched to used the same Icon as their Recon Armor
B42 Descriptions is supported. All Recon Armors that had an available description will have the same description when used as Under Armor
If Tutorial Killer is installed, this mods tutorial pop-up will be hidden
This mod will not function properly with Handheld Pip-boy mods, unless they make use of Handheld Fixes and YAPR
The Under Armor system from PPA is removed, and replaced by the system in this mod. All the Under Armors work exactly like the Recon Armors in this mod, however they get to keep their unique effects when equipped under Power Armor. The Under Armors use the same armor records as they do in PPA, so this should be fairly compatible with mods which alter PPA. Composite T-45d is added to the T-45d only list if you are using that option. You may get duplicate Recon and Under Armors on some NPC's if using this mod. I will not fix this, this is simply how PPA works, and I do not want to mess with it further.
Complete Power Armor
This is the first part of my Powered Power Armor replacement mod series. I intend to replicate all of the major features of Powered Power Armor with modern replacements, similar to the Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 features that were clearly inspired by that mod.
