Fortaleza2 (WIP)

[ralfetas]

 

So, back to FO4 modding and decide to remake a mod.

 

Don´t know if this can be called adult mod, but because you can have nudity, i think this is the right place.

 

Back when i made the first fortaleza, we still have keyword limit problem, and to be honest, i made everything on the rush, so i cut many corners and skip many ideas i had for this mod.

 

Now i starting almost from zero, i say almost because i am following some design concepts i put on the armor pieces, but everything is new.

 

Spoiler

New topology, less polys and more details.

New textures, new base maps, more friendly UV for any retexture, better symmetries, decal marks so less texture sets, less space with more content.

For colors, i am using FO4 tint system, i create a good workflow in substance painter, if anyone is interest to know how let me know.

Complete new ESP, special fortaleza keywords for naming, custom upgrades etc... much more balanced.

Because the set is split into themes, any addon is easy to make.

 

So, let me share the plan, hope to get some comments

 

For now only Mk1 and Mk2 version is ready, the idea is to give the option to customize each piece, what i have ready for now.

 

Mk1 Torso - Light - Heavy (more weight more protection) - Wastelander (more weight, more radioactive protection) and 3 jackets variants, forgot the name i give, each one has their own special perk.

Legs and arms - Light and Heavy version

Bodylink - Gloves option

Wetsuit - Gloves and leg option

Goggles - Just color and themes

WakeUp - A small outfit, panties and some strap for the torso, freedom upgrade too (no cover in the boobs)

Training - A more traditional outfit, shorts and top, freedom upgrade too.

 

Colors and themes, Army, Gunner, BOS, Institute, Minutemen, Nukacola, Raider, Railroad, Vault-Tec, for the colors there are 10 colors for now.

 

The base body i am using is TWB 3BBB, i know most people here prefer FG, but i really like the TWB sliders.

 

Because the mod is already huge with just this, i am splitting it based on the themes, so you get the basic mod with all meshes and basic textures and choose the themes you want to install, i think this way we can keep everything light and the menus not so crowed.

 

--- Future plans ---

- Other mk´s of course.

- Torso armor - Veteran variant, just a scarf, maybe i will reuse a vanilla mesh.

- Arms - Sniper, explorer, tech version and fighter

- Legs - Scavenger and tech version

- Belts - Have some ideas and some stuff done, a armored belt to combine with the armor and another leather version.

- Outfits - A lot more... I made the basic mesh for 5 more outfits that i think will fit nice with the armor.

- Armored CatEar - Is ready, will go in the next version

- Face armor - Some basic meshes ready, but still a long way to go.

- Undercover - A armor that looks like clothing, difficult to explain, plan for torso only.

- Themes - Some specific stuff, like medic, police, firefighter and a new color set more clean without so many rusty.

 

Other Themes - I want to add more variations for the themes, Courser, BOS Paladin, Minutemen General, Nuka-Cola Quantum (not sure about this one), and maybe some other small themes like Atom Cats, but still thinking about.

 

Some screens (my screenshots are not the best, but should work to show the basic)

Damn will this be a big one, still IF you somehow have the will to do it at some point I at least would love parts that were instead of hiding naughty bits presenting them. Maybe a chaps like armor part instead of the frontal harness thing in the pics with a corset like armor part that lets the tits hang free.

[jg8ts]

I've always loved the Fortaleza armor, especially with the naked bodysuit. Thank you for creating this first time around, and I look forward to seeing the new armor, assuming that someone creates a conversion to FG

Will have for sure.

Thanks! Indeed the naked was cool, now i made the bodylink, is a naked but with a excuse to be naked.

For the FG version, i am sure someone will make the conversion, if no one show, i will make it, for what i see the body of FG and CBBE have the same UV, so is just copy weights and remake sliders, time consuming but no difficult.

What was particular nice about naked was that it could also be armored up, and who doesn't like extra armor.

 

I do like the way you are approaching arms and legs. I never liked the all-in-one armor, preferring to mix and match the bits to get the right look. In my early game progression it also allows me to gradually replace a bit of raider armor with a bit of your armor as soon as I can afford to build it. It creates some great hybrids.

 

I'll need to take a look on Patreon to get my head around the bodylink idea. Plus you, like so many great creators, deserve the support.

I think the balance now is much better, you can leave the vault and build something, but you will need the armored perk, material change too, using the crafting framework is a game changer, amazing mod.

 

If you can, i have a small server on discord where i put some screens of the stuff i am working, is always good to get a feedback

I've installed the mod but can't find it to craft anywhere.

The crafting system is a separated ESP, in the install you will be asked what crafting you want to use, make sure those esp are active.

 

If you got the crafting framework version you have a universal bench, there you can go to create and there is a section there fortaleza armors and fortaleza outfits.

 

I made a chemstation version too, optional in the fomod, but i do not test it.

thank you, thank you, thank you, to both of you!

MK2 almost done, base mesh and details ready, now start the texturing.

 

Some WIP images. Light torso, heavy torso part, arms parts and leg parts, the leg don´t change much from the first version.

This is really cool, I especially like the cape on the wasteland version! I'm trying to mix parts of your armor up with the Slooty vaultsuit mod, but sadly the torso and arms keep unequipping. I've looked at the slots Slooty vaultsuit uses in creation kit and FO4Edit but it doesn't overlap or use any other slots, kinda weird. Other under armors seem to work though so I'll just use those. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the future versions ?

Thanks! New version is almost ready!

 

For the slooty vaultsuit, probably they use more slots that conflicts.

Can be a little complex at first, but is not, there are two places to check the slots, ARMO and ARMA, will use fortaleza as example.

ARMO is where the item are made, what meshes groung file stats etc... ARMA is the mesh.

ARMO MK arm use 38 and 43 (for the right side)

ARMO MK torso use 36 and 41 slots.

 

And the ARMA

ARMA MK arm use use 43, but if is the heavy one, they use two meshes, one in 43 and other in 38

ARMA MK Torso use 36, but the wastelander use 36, 37 and 38 with a high priority, so the wastelander removes the heavy part of the arm, just the visual, the stats don´t change, this happen so the arm will not clip with the wastelander.

 

So, you must check the arma too sometimes, probably the slooty vaultsuit use something that the arma in fortaleza disable it.

Thanks for coming back and Remastering. GL

[ralfetas]

Some stuff that will be on the next version.

Cat Ears - Add armor value and a perk, i made it in 2 sizes, my character have a big hair, so i think is good to have one big and other small.

New torso upgrade - the veteran (add a scarf)

New right arm upgrade - Medic Pump (same perk as the PA medic pump, injets a stimpak when your health goes bellow 50%)

New outfit - "Angel", named angel because it was inspired by a character in hitman blood money

 

A lot of bug fixing and adjusts...

 

I really like the cat ears, so i plan to make more ears, what i am thinking.

Cat Ears - +Perception or Agility or Luck??

Bunny Ears - +Charisma

Bear Ears - +Strength or Endurance??

Fox Ears - +Agility or Endurance??

 

Not sure about the perks, suggestions are welcome.

 

 

[ralfetas]

Ears ready!

Anyone knows if is too difficult to animate those???

 

Cat, Bear, Bunny and Fox.

Cat - Agility

Bear - Endurance

Bunny - Charisma

Fox - Perception

[ralfetas]

Version 0.4 is up, with the ears, new outfit and some new upgrades.

[ralfetas]

Version 0.5 is up, lots of new stuff.

[ralfetas]

So, i found a bug, don´t know if there is something i can do about it, but anyway, here is the problem.

 

When you choose the type of the armor, this OMOD adds keyword that open the possibility for that type customization, for example, when you choose tech variant, this variant add a light color keyword to the armor so you can choose the light color, i made this way because if is not like that, the menu would be massive, so, where the problems show.

 

If you equip let´s say a MK1 tech scav variant and you build another MK1 tech scav, the new one will not show all the customization options unless you unequip the one you are using, if you are not using any, no problem, still don´t see how this bug shows, what is the combination that make this happen, found this for accident when i was making a lot of armors for my provisioners and i notice i could not change the color of the bags unless i unquip me gear.

 

Anyway, not a gamebreaking problem, but if anyone has any idea how to fix this, please share

Trauma Team Theme

https://www.patreon.com/posts/fortaleza2-theme-57612756

 

Any suggestions for new themes are welcome!

[KusanagiAkio]

That looks amazing! Gonna give it a try tonight!

 

Maybe an Arasaka theme if you're diving into 2077? 

 

Keep up the amazing work!

I like that.

I try to keep lore friendly, i think trauma team can be in any world, Arasaka is more limited to CP2077, but i think this red and black theme can work for BOS, something like BOS Paladin theme, we have the basic one with orange stuff and exposed metal and we could have another one, painted black metal and some black fabric for the under armor, something more clean and more shinny, will give a try

Maybe kind of a lore offshot exploration?

 

Everybody loves the Enclave, maybe the fabled Chicago branch? It could be the same color scheme.

 

Sorry, got all these story mods with creative approaches to the lore that I may just be pitching ideas left and right based on that

Sure, ideas are like that, that´s why i love suggestions! Someone say something, i understand wrong and bam! new idea rise and new something and so on LOL.

 

I like the enclave style, but to be honest, i don´t know much about them, just that they are a faction from fo1? or all? Anyway, i like the idea to put enclave theme, most enclave themes i see are black and gray, but you say about chigado branch, i will do some research about that, i think there is something here!
