Centurion's NCR Armor & Gear Re-Imagined

by Mats "Centurion" Liljeroos



BETA 0.12


A mod that changes all the NCR armor to give it a more military feel, without going all tactical monkey. I know there are several mods of this kind, and I mean no disrespect to their authors. The creative influences of this mod is something like Fallout meets the Vietnam war G.I. I also wanted to emphasize the hotness of the climate, so I have included short-sleeved variants and "no-shirt" variants of the armours.

The standard uniform for the NCR is now a BDU-cut uniform and combat boots. Armor protection is given by a "home-made" flak-armor consisting of interlocking metal plates in a fabric shell. Hot, sweaty and uncomfortable but reasonably protective. A reinforced variant is included with additional plates. Scout troopers use a more lightweight chestrig with no protective plates.

*Variants:
Officer (Replaces "Mantle" armor)
Grunt (Replaces normal trooper armor)
Support (Replaces "Bandoleer" armor)
Scout Chestrig (Replaces "Face Wrap" armor)
MP (Replaces "MP" armor)
Shotgunner (new)
Grenadier (new)
Radsuit armor (new, based on Beth radsuit)
+BDU, short sleeved BDU and BDU-pants and tshirt/top.
+Helmet replacements, Boonie hat and desert hood

*New Troopers added to leveled list that use new kit (support troopers/scouts/grenadiers/shotgunner troopers). NOTE: Some of the new troopers have access to better equipment than vanilla NCR troopers, might give low-level player advantage if he loots dead troopers.

*Modified some NCR trooper types (leader troopers, normal troopers, camp searchlight troopers, camp forlorn hope troopers).

CHANGELOG:
Beta 0.11: Added female BDU and Short Sleeved BDU. Made the dirt stains more obvious on the BDU.
Beta 1: First public release

KNOWN ISSUES:
*Texture mismatch/skin tone mismatch on the no shirt/short sleeved variants. Help needed with this one, dunno why this is or if it is only on my computer? If some experienced modder could take a look into nifskope that would be great.

*Scout chestrig minor dismemberment prob. Also dismemberments not 100% perfect all the time.

*Small clipping/skinning issues: To be expected, i hate skinning. Will only fix major problems

*Female versions missing on most armors, not super noticable as I will NEVER make "bikini armors" out of these. If you are into that type of thing, then maybe this mods functional design approach is not for you anyway.

*Radsuit visor weirdness. Again, not sure why.

COMPATIBILITY:
Probably more or less completely incompatible with other ncr equipment mods. Works well with other mods, for example increased wasteland spawns and warzones. Does not touch the weapon leveld lists, so works well with for example WMX.

PLANNED FEATURES:
*Female variants (no brainer)

*Different camo variants that are without NCR faction script

*Optional lower res textures if wanted

*More reinforced armors

*System for displaying rank insignia. Prototype already tested..

INSTALLATION:
Extract to Fallout New Vegas\data\
Check the included .esp file.

UNINSTALLATION:
Uncheck esp
Delete esp and meshes\CNT\ImprNCR\ + textures\CNT\ImprNCR\ folders. Weirdness might occur on old savegames if the mod was loaded when it was saved.




****NOTE*****
This is a beta release, it's not perfect and not all encompassing. If that's a deal breaker, don't download it. I know about most of the issues. I might have time to fix them, but don't hold your breath. But I wanted to get this file out to you all, to give something back to the community and not make ANOTHER fairly comprehensive mod that sits on my HD. I hope you enjoy it! I put a lot of effort into it, and considering how charater modeling is not my stuff i think it's ok.
