Summary-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who want the Pip-Boy 2500 to look even more like the classic Pip-Boy 2000 from Fallout 1 & 2

Retextures the Pip-Boy 2500 mod to look more like the original Pip-Boy 2000 from Fallout 1 & 2. Just like my retexture for the 2501 mod. Requires Pip-Boy 2500 - glowing letters by DryBones12 and Pip-Boy 2500a 'Glowing Tubes Edition' by IrregularJohn85 for the glowing tubes and letters shown in the screenshots. Big thanks to Pommymax for allowing me to use parts of his HD retexture for V3. Logo looks a lot cleaner now. You can find his mod here

This mod as I said essentially rearranges some things and adds or otherwise changes some stuff to closer resemble the Pip-Boy 2000. Most obvious change is the added date counter which the 2500 was missing, but In the newest version for example I've edited the button textures to look a bit more like the transparent plastic looking texture the 2000 has. All versions are in the screenshots tab so you can look there and then pick and choose which one you'd like from the files list.

Also works with the arm mounted version


If anyone out there wants to help me with getting the date counter to actually display the current in game date, rather than when the bombs fell, I would greatly appreciate it.


Mods in screenshots------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cracks in the screen and the font of the Pip-Boy are not included in this mod. Those are from the following mods:
Pip-Boy Screen Cracked - By deleted21607364
Fallout Classic Font With Accents - By Daroskey

And, as mentioned in the mod summary, for the glowing tubes and letters you'll need:
Pip-Boy 2500A 'Glowing Tubes Edition' by IrregularJohn85 
Pip-Boy 2500 - Glowing Letters by DryBones12


Versions------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V1 - The first version. It's the closest to the original 2500 mod by EdisLeado in appearance. Date counter made to look broken.
V2 - Deviates further from EdisLeado's original mod. Looks closer to the original Pip-Boy 2000 from the classics. Date counter made to look broken.
V2.5 - Same as 1.1 except the date counter is set on the time at which the bombs fell on the Mojave.
V3 - Added a new normalmap alongside the retexture so that you don't see the shadows of the original texture anymore. Got permission from Pommymax to use the logo from his HD retexture of the 2500, so it looks a lot cleaner now.
V4 - Extra edits, look at the screenshots

I would make the date counter display the current in game date but I have no idea how GECK works and I don't have the time to learn. If someone else wants to do it, go on ahead. For now though It'll just be a static texture.


Load order---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Load after A Familiar Friend and (if you have it) the glowing tubes mod

If the textures do not show up you may have to go in and manually replace the pipboy2500.dds file with this mod's version in the texture directory of the A Familiar Friend mod. If you're also using the glowing tubes mod you may have to replace that too.
