-= Version 1.1 27May13 =-

Laugh Heartily inside your Power Armor Helm as desperate Wastelanders or low level Raiders fire on you with .22LR or 9mm rounds ... Enjoy :)

With Impervious Power Armor(IPA) - 13325, by TheTalkieToaster, Power and 'manually ENABLED' armors have a Damage Threshold of, by default, 25% of the armors current DR, similar in effect to armors in FO1, FO2 and FNV.

So, to save you the trouble, I've created a prebuilt list esp listing armors from literally dozens of mods. This is meant for use with FWE, as I've also adjusted and overridden armor values where needed for FWE setting.

I've done the hard work, to save you time, so if you Like it and appreciate the work involved, Please don't forget to Endorse it :)

Recommend IPA Threshold settings, at value=1.0 (25%), NOT x 2.1 for FWE ... FWE has already buffed armor Damage Resistance (DR) on armors ...

As the DR on your armor drops, so does its DT, so even .22 LR rounds will eventually do some damage if you just stand there and are hit by enough of 'em :))

Shooting 9mm at Metal, Combat Armor Mk II or Power Armor equipped foes, becomes mostly pointless :))

Hence Calibr, DT and DR all play a significant part in combat for FO3, as they should !

REQUIREMENTS:
Impervious Power Armor - 13325, by TheTalkieToaster ,
Fallout Mod Manager v0.13.21+ (FOMM) - 640 ,
FO3Edit - 637 , and
FWE - Fallout Wanderers Edition - 2761
Requires FOSE v1.2+ .

-= Your mods containing 'Armor'entries to be DT enabled =-

MyImperviousArmorList_for_IPA_v1-19039.esp -= Put it last, Before/Above your 'Merged-Patch' !!! =-

Done.

Now, The REALLY Important steps:
1. Load this esp in FOMM and right click to 'Open in TESNIP'.
2. Click on 'TES4'.
You will now see a list of 'MAST' entries, each followed by a 'DATA' entry below it.
The MAST entries identify the Load Order 'Master' enabled.
3. Click on each 'MAST' file in turn and if you do NOT have that Mod in your Load Order, hit the Del/Delete Key and also highlight and Delete the DATA file below it.
4. Once done, Click on 'File', 'SAVE', then 'Close all'.
5. Load FO3Edit and confirm there are no missing 'Masters' ... FO3Edit will abort and tell you if there are ;)
6. Add into the armor List form any Armor entries you wish to enable from other mods.
7. Create your unique 'MERGED-Patch'
8. Save and exit
9. Open FOMM, enable\activate your 'Merged-Patch' and set it last in LOAD Order.
10. Exit FOMM and run the 'MASTER-UPDATE' process.
11. Launch FO3 and enjoy DT on all Armors from Leather to Metal to Combat Armor MkII Heavy :)

If the above steps are too much for you, not confident or comfortable to do so, or you don't have many of the pre-enabled mods, then this mod is Not for you ;)

Steps 9 & 10 are explained:
(a) self-created Merged-Patch with FO3Edit.exe (LAST, as always), and
(b) run the Master-Update process
