Power Armor without Training

Post by **darthbdaman** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:12 pm

I would like to remove the requirement of having power armor training to do power armor.

Currently, in JSawyer, this is done by removing the power armor tags from power armor. This is generally fine, however it causes some compatibility issues with mods like Project Nevada which rely on those tags.

What I would like to do is just remove the requirement. I know that I can do this by adding the power armor training perk at startup, however this perk has been re-purposed to let power armors carry some of their own weight by having it. I like this feature and would like to keep it.

Any ideas?

Make a new perk for the carry weight, and then make the original perk hidden and add it by default.

Doing it that way would allow you to have the default PA Training perk add some penalties like -2 Agility.

Than the "Advance Power Armor Training" Perk would remove the penalties and add the carry weight.

You could even have it also add +1 Strength and a slight movement bonus since the training shows how to get the most out of the PA.

when your mod loads, have it setstage generic 80

then make your perk do whatever the hell you want while player.getequipped armorpowerlist

When you say the perk has been repurposed do you mean it actually checks to see if the player has the "Power Armor Training" perk?

If that's the case you could just script in "setpccanusepowerarmor 1" at start and let them gain the perk as normal.

Hm with a "player.getequipped armorpowerlist" it would be possible to do some nice PA Perks.

I need to learn to better mod and also to steal time from somewhere.

Than I will make my own super duper Power Armor Training and rebalancing mod ;)

If not I will try to request a nice Power Armor Traininf & perk mod ^^

Also this would be a good way to make JSawyer compatible with PPA.
