[feature request] Change armor (vests/helmets) GameMat specific to vest and hitbox
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description


In vanilla armor, the material used for armor are named titanium_6.5mm
When modding, I want to:

  • replace armor values for vanilla vests, but only for a specific vest
  • Only modify the armor value for certain hitboxes on the armor

(what I am trying to achieve: create versions of the vanilla vests with different armor values)

However since the naming for the GameMaterials does not specify which vest they are made for,
there is an implication that these GameMaterials are used elsewhere as well. (6b2 GameMat are used in 6b3)

To clear confusion and to allow for modifying GameMaterials separate for every vest (or armor equipment)
we would like for the GameMaterials to be rennamed separately for every hitbox:
titanium_6.5mm.gamemat -> titanium_6.5mm_Vest6B3_1.gamemat , titanium_6.5mm_Vest6B3_2.gamemat , titanium_6.5mm_Vest6B3_3.gamemat

  • All GameMat are specific to their respective vests
  • All GameMat are specifc to different hitboxes

This way we can modify the game material for the specific hitbox on the specific vest.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. try to change the armor value for 6b2 vest stomach (titanium_1.25mm.gamemat)

  4. the desired result was not achieved
Additional Information

Alternatively please add technology to modify/override .xob files and/or .xob parameters and configs.

There are a lot of cases where this would be very useful,
there will be 100s of instances where overriding a single
parameter for a .xob file can provide more happiness
and joy from modding.
