Mono's Lore Friendly Equipment Pack

This page covers some additional equipment, mostly weaponry, as well as seeking to balance out the packs already in F&L. The main focus of this pack can be neatly summed up in two tenets:

  1. Only include equipment which has sufficiently high quality to seem as though it might originally have been part of the game. This includes quality of design, but also implementation and art style. I will for example never include weaponry which looks much more modern than the art direction employed in New Vegas, as I find this diminishes the overall aesthetic.
  2. Attempt to make said mods follow the same precedence in terms of balance, appearance or implementation. This is an extension on the previous tenet, but mostly serves to dictate that no two mods have a noticeable gap in quality, or that any of the mods overlap each other. The most noticeable change will be that I have renamed all weapons to use more general names, like the vanilla "Sniper Rifle" or "12.7mm Pistol".

I might extend on these tenants as I develop this more, especially the part about what aesthetic I look for, but for now they fit their purpose. Due to the nature of what the pack sets out to do, it will naturally overlap with some of the weapons included in the two other F&L weapons packs, and you're free to add the missing weapons manually, but doing so would probably take away from part of the point with this pack. It should also be noted that unlike EssArrBee's Additional Weapons, I will supply the plugins already merged, as I've rebalanced several weapon packs to my own personal taste.

One thing I'd recommend you to do if you've been following Fear and Loathing and want to get this pack's intended experience, is to uninstall the Modern Weapons file from WMX, as I find those weapons to be of far lower quality than the other weapons included here, and they don't really fit in with the game's retro-futuristic vibe.

Mono's Project Nevada Plugins

This is a modified version of the Project Nevada Equipment Module, which replaces the .44 Pistol with Millenia's Desert Eagle (details on that further up), removes the extra Ranger Recon Armors (basically flat black or grey versions of the Ranger Combat Armor that look much worse than the ones included in ADAM), as well as the additional advanced recon equipment which is already included in Advanced Recon. Also includes a modified version of the WMX patch.

Mono's Spice of Life Package

This package includes my custom textures for the Rogue Ranger Duster (and helmet) as well as a rebalancing of said armor. Pictures are linked in the first page of my feedback thread.

Full changelog for the SoL changes: 

Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster to light armor
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's weight from "20" to "14"
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's item HP from "400" to "200"
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's DT from "10" to "8"
Changed the Rogue Ranger Duster's value from "500" to "600"
Created a new effect for the Rogue Ranger Duster giving 2+ Guns and 2+ Unarmed and added it to the armor
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use the default path for the jacket from the Mercenary Adventurer Outfit, so as to use the higher res version from WCHR
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use the higher res version of the Ranger Patrol Armor for the kneeguards
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Duster to use a custom version of ADAM's (2x as large) texture, made especially for this armor
Changed the Rogue Ranger Helmet's item HP from "50" to "70"
Changed the Rogue Ranger Helmet's DT from "2" to "3", which is one less than the NCR Ranger Combat Helmet
Changed the Rogue Ranger Helmet's value from "110" to "220"
Changed the meshes for the Rogue Ranger Helmet to use ADAM's (2x as large) Ranger Combat Helmet texture
Changed the name of the "Rogue Ranger Helmet Painted" to "Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet"
Changed the Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet's item HP from "50" to "70"
Changed the Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet's DT from "2" to "3", which is one less than the NCR Ranger Combat Helmet
Changed the Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet's value from "120" to "230"
Changed the meshes for the Painted Rogue Ranger Helmet to use a custom made version of ADAM's (2x as large) texture with a mouse-drawn skull on it
Changed all mentions of "S.Mutant" to "Super Mutant" following precedence set by the vanilla game
Removed all mentions of the helmets and armor from low-level raider leveled lists, they're now pretty rare, which makes it cool when you spot them

Full changelog for the PN patch changes: 

Removed the "fixed" Rogue Ranger Helmets as they are visually broken anyhow (missing the required component for special vision modes)
Removed the "broken" prescript from the Rogue Ranger Helmets, following the precedence of ADAM's Outcast Mask which doesn't have vision modes either
Changed all recipes to have "Fixed" first instead of last in their names, so they're more easily sortable
Carried all changes over from the SoL plugin
Scratchmade Campo-Giro Model 1913
  • Author: MonoAccipiter
  • Version: v1.2

You got me! I made this pistol, so I'm obviously biased. I do however think it upholds the pack's two tenets, and it even has a "lore friendly name" out of the box. Do however feel free to skip it if you think my judgement has been compromised. I don't recommend the smaller mesh.

Changelog
  • v0.1: Initial WIP.
  • v0.2: Added plugins for WotNM and Milennia's Additional Weapons.
  • v0.3: Changed all links to be with the encryption key. Whoops! Also added custom Project Nevada plugins and new instructions regarding WMX's Modern Weapons addon.
  • v0.4: Added Scratchmade Campo-Giro Model 1913.
  • v0.5: Added Mono's Spice of Life Package.
