MannaroTP HoloPipBoy 4000 - FOMM with new modified textures


If youve been here before or downloaded the earlier esp only version, v2 includes the whole mod except with the Fallout3 esp, plus the modified textures of each color. They have a softer plastic look with better sense of volume & black radmeter for contrast. See this & if your playing Fallout New Vegas, theres an optional file to install the v2 textures over the FNV mod. Or can also install that over the main file here to avoid reactivating the esp every time you switch colors


Requires
FOMM or NMM - note the installer sometimes forgets to activate the esp. Check its been ticked

Disclaimers
these textures are sensitive to image space modifiers, and be particularly bad at night, as mentioned in the comments. The solutions to increase the saturation with tools like The Imaginator/Directors Chair etc, but a really simple alternative is Amazing Color Enhancer with three steps of saturation as separate esps. Have just tested it and definitely fixes the color saturation at night. Im also using The Outbreaks WMS vol2 and minor tweaks with the Imaginator, so step 1 was the best balance. See the regular setup vs step 1 & step 2

And further night/indoor testing shows the v2 shading effects too bright, so going to update it with a better version; watch NMM for when the latest is 2.1. Also weighing up if a normal map improves it, the original textures dont have one but can make alotof difference

Amazing Color Enhancer - aka Awesome Color
The Imaginator
Directors Chair
Faster Pipboy Faster - NV/FO3 compatible, installs to the same locations
Pip-Boy Invisible When Not In Use aka Pipboy Remover - partial solution using it with power armor or any clothes/armor where the width of the texture/meshes is similar to the pipboys, can even be light weight stuff which just has a wider arm shape
Holographic Armor FO3 - havent tried it, just keeps with the theme

This shot of v1 also shows my Better High Detal Map
