About this mod

Adds a rare Union Cap to the TTW world, with integration into the Head of State Quest. Blast Slavers in Style.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod adds a 2k retextured Confederate hat for our Northern brethren.

These hats are rare, hand placed in the following locations:
  • Capitol Preservation Society (must be stolen)
  • Museum of History Offices
  • Temple of the Union, on a table (this reference is set to player ownership, a nice gift from the Temple)
  • Temple of the Union, Hannibal's Home (must be stolen)
The hats are additionally added to point lookout's DLC04LootaddMisc list, which is added to misc containers and vendors at Point Lookout. Presumably there are some Union hats buried with Union casualties. Thus any Civil War battlefield/museum is a reasonable place to find a Union hat. However, to maintain its rarity I adjusted the balance of the DLC04LootAddMisc list. I have doubled the Yeast, Fission Battery, and Fishing Pole records while tripling the workman's outfit and confederate hat chances. I only added a single union hat chance. So thus, the odds are:
  • 2/13 Fission Battery (~15.3%)
  • 2/13 Yeast     (~15.3%)
  • 2/13 Fishing Pole    (~15.3%)
  • 3/13 Workman's      (~23%)
  • 3/13 Confederate Hat (~23%)
  • 1/13 Union Hat     (~7.7%)
I feel that is an appropriate ratio. And also I want hats and clothes more than the other items. 

Finally, for the extra mile: You can sell the union hat as part of Head of State to Leeroy Walker, Hannibal Hamlin, or Abraham Washington via fully voiced vanilla dialogue. Hannibal and Abraham will even pocket (and wear) the hats. You can sell as many hats as you want, but you can't barter up from 15 caps or sell more than one per dialogue.

Optional files include a TTW Reputations patch for reputation gain on sell. 

Known/Supposed Issues: 

  • You can likely steal a hat forever from Abraham or Hannibal and sell it back. I won't fix this.
  • Hannibal and Abraham both wear the hat, though I do not have a script for them to equip it on sell. They will just wear it if the slot is open/doesn't have a better option. Hannibal should prioritize the Lincoln hat when you sell it to him, but I am not sure if he will always wear it over the union hat. It does make Abraham look a bit silly. I don't care.
  • Rex won't growl at the hat. He supports the Union. I don't want to edit this big FLST or implement a script for something so minor. Especially since Rex supports the Union.
