Disclaimer:
This mod was ported, fixed and modified on request. The original mod author, UnclePips, allowed me to make any modifications and changes needed.
The pictures in the mod are meant to showcase the outfits, and do not represent any new gameplay, workshop items, textures or weather present in this mod (as they are none). The character in the pictures is my own character, so of course tattoos not included.
Overview:
The original intention of “True Minutemen” is to give them a Guerrilla/People’s Army look without losing their vanilla essence. This mod can be considered a lightweight Minutemen overhaul that retains their vanilla look but improve their identifiability as a faction while making them a little stronger. The original mod the Minutemen Outfit contains a modified version of the following outfits to include a faction armband: Padded Blue Jacket, Greaser Jacket, Flannel Shirt, Road Leathers, Farmhand Clothes, Green Shirt and combat Boots, Scavenger Outfit, Drifter Outfit, Undershirt and Jeans, Winter jacket and Jeans that spawn only on Minutemen Level Lists.
About the “Revived” part:
The mod was in an unfinished state, as the author lost the files and the intention to continue working on it. I made all the required fixing to ensure the mod works without issues, please see the fixed and changes made below.
Fixes:
- The armors had the incorrect GO mesh, resulting in a crash when dropping the outfits on the overworld.
- The hats and helmets had missing or mismatched textures.
- The material files had to be corrected to the right textures.
- The underarmors did not allow armor pieces to be worn, as they would clip. The underarmors were rebuilt with the correct weight and data to allow armor pieces to be worn over.
- The leveled lists did not contain armor pieces, and Minutement will spawn only with the outfits. This was corrected and it now allows for underarmors to spawn with random armor pieces.
- Armors did not have a first person mesh, this was corrected by using their vanilla counterparts.
- Several armors were not set their correct slots, this was corrected to ensure there are no clipping issues.
- The weight data for the coats of the Drifter outfit and Farmhand clothes was incorrect or missing.
- Fixed some armors to avoid armband or armor piece clipping.
- Removed tactical belts from underarmors to avoid clipping with chest pieces, maintained the belts for Armors that don’t allow armor pieces.
Changed made:
Removed the left arm armors from the level list, to avoid clipping with the armband. This results on Minutemen never spawning with left arm armors, so their armband can always be seen.
- Changed the original stats of the armors as they were too OP, balanced it using their vanilla counterparts.
- Allows underarmors to use armor on top on the armors should allow it (Vanilla counterparts).
- Remade the Level lists to ensure variety and correct functioning.
- Included Combat Armor to Minutemen Level Lists (Starting at LVL1) to increase their survivability: Minutemen will now spawn with combinations of Leather, Metal and Combat Armor.
- Included Marine Armor pieces to the level list with a very small chance (Starting at LVL30, 20% chance of spawning).
- Included the following weapons to MM Level list: 10mm Pistol, .44 Revolver, Submachine Gun and Minigun (Minigun spawning at LVL30 with a 30% chance).
- Reinstated the Militia Hat to the level list.
- Reverted the Minutemen General Outfit and Hat to its vanilla version.
Requirements and Incompatibilities:
Requires Far Harbor, for the Marine Armor Pieces.,
Definitely incompatible with any Minutemen Level list modification or overhaul, injections are fine.
Level lists changes or modification do not cause the issues that came with the NG Update, so this mod is stutter-free.
