Project NARC - Armour Revisioned

this mod is mainly dedicated to reducing the amount of clipping across both vanilla armour pieces
and those added by various different mods, effectively making them all visually compatible with
each other and vanilla Kenshi assets. Secondarily a single go-to place for mesh- and clipping
fixes also helps keeping the load order clean of too many conflicting vanilla edits.

Right now, all it does is make all vanilla and modded variants of Samurai Clothpants and
Legplates use their existing overlap meshes for vanilla and modded variants of coats, like those
added in Dread Gear and Holy Chest Plate variants like the Dragon Ninja Chest Plate.

I also updated "The Dust King" and "Black Dragon Ninja Armour" to 1.0 with the
permission of Stupendous Man.

I actually make use of the Change Notes, so please have a look there to see exactly what I did
and when I did it.

No import necessary for the time being.



While I finally had some time to test the changes I made in-game I may
still have missed something so if anything looks funny, please feel free to
tell me in the Bug Reports.

If you do not use all of the mods listed below you will get a warning in the launcher but that is all.
There should be no issues cropping up in game, it's just a way for the game to tell you that there
are a bunch of "undefined references" attached to vanilla items. Since those references lead to
mod-added items that you may not use the game won't find them. The only thing I can think of
that this may affect are load times. If so it'll be barely noticeable, if at all.

• General Modifications
  
• Dread Gear
  
• Mediocre Black Armor
  
• Black Dragon Ninja Armour (stats updated to 1.0)
  
• The Dust King (stats updated to 1.0)
  
• Unique Phoenix Armor
  
• Patchwork Armour (partial, needs alot more testing)
  
• more to be added soon (tm)

None of these mods is specifically required for NARC to work. You can be subscribed to all,
some or just one of those and still benefit from NARC. Not using all of them will only mean you
get a bunch of missing reference errors when looking at my work in FCS.
Again, you technically do not need any of the above mods. Even if you are
only subbed to NARC the only thing that happens is you get a whole bunch of nothing
and I get a sub thinking this mod doesn't do anything. Because it actually really
doesn't other than fix stuff with other stuff that's already there and create a whole
bunch of references across mods and vanilla. Right now, this is essentially nothing
more than a glorified communication hub for other mods to communicate with each other
and vanilla Kenshi behind the scenes.

If you don't find your favorite armour mod included that just means that I either lack the ability to
do anything about the clipping for now or just simply haven't had the time to include it yet. I am
definitely open to any suggestions though. If you know of a mod that you think needs to be
NARCified or are a mod author yourself and want to unload some tedious busywork on me
- leave a comment below.
Or better yet, leave a comment in the Suggestions thread. For a cleaner comment section! o/ o/ o7

Sadly, my ability to vanquish clipping is limited for now to items Lo-Fi provided us with overlap
meshes for in addition to their regular meshes. For the leg slot these seem to be, as far as I can
tell, Samurai Clothpants and Samurai Legplates only. Please keep that in mind. Until I figure my
way through Blender there is simply nothing I can do to rectify that.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to load this after any of the listed mods in the launcher. This means NARC will likely have
to be very far down your load order especially if you use GenMod. In addition to editing those
mods NARC also touches some vanilla assets. So far this has only been light and managed
almost entirely through references so it should be pretty much compatible with every
other mod.



Eventually I want NARC to include overlap meshes for most, if not all leg pieces using the vanilla
meshes for Drifter's Pants, loincloths, cargo- and halfpants, Gis, etc. as well as a variety of
different boots and ultimately some of the more popular armour mods out there (Gusoku Armor Set,
pants added in Patchwork Armour, More Plate Options, etc.) so y'all can mix and match pieces of
different armour sets to your heart's content without worrying over clipping issues.

This is a MASSIVE goal and will take a lot of time to achieve, if I ever do. Not least because I don't
know sh!te about 3D modelling. I'm good at fixing things. Creativity is not really one of my strong suits.
Any and all help anyone of you can provide in this department is deeply welcome.

You'll find a rough roadmap in the discussions which is likely to change whenever I get a new influx
of ideas or actually get things done for once.



This is, in essence just a submod, albeit a very ambitious one, so all credits for the original work go

Because I know this question will eventually be posed - you'll find a full list of mods used in my
screenshots with links in the Discussions tab. Go pay them a visit and sub to their mods, they are
absolutely worth it!
