Child Sized Armor

Description
There are two types of people on the rim; those who feel it's unethical to create equipment that promotes use of child soldiers, and those who feel it's unethical to send your child soldiers into battle without proper equipment.

This mod is for the second type of person.

It adds the following child sized apparel, with stats identical to the adult sized versions but with reduced weight and material cost.

• kid plate armor
• kid flak vest
• kid power armor and kid power helmet (using the stats from recon armor)


Update 1.0.4: The child-sized recon helmet now supports different syles (morbid, totemic and animalist) just like the grown up version. This requires ideology to be installed, but will not cause errors if it is not.



Compatibility: This is a simple XML & texture mod so will work with any mod that handles existing child-sized clothing.

Hmmm, I'll check it out thanks.

@Kalter Stahl You could use School Defense. No shield belts for them unfortunately, and the turret is dropped on the ground but you can at least equip them with a turret backpack to drop and run away.

I don't suppose I could get some child ranged shield belts and turret backpacks? Back before Biotech I didn't let the kids out to play until they could run away in full panic with shields and a turret firing in the opposite direction!

@Nepenthe, Many thanks for that explanation. I'll give it a go, fortunately the items I want to modify are relatively simple. This mod has saved at least 3 of my child colonists from harm so far when they were nature wandering - even loaded a save to test without their child armor and it was fatal for the child.

I extracted the original textures from the game's datafiles and manually adjusted them to fit child sized bodies. It's a simple process that doesn't need artistic skill; you just put the clothing texture over the child body texture and resize/move it about until it fits. Do that for north, south and east facing views, and save them with the proper filenames & path so they get picked up automatically by the game based on body type and facing. Test the clothing out and adjust a bit if needed.

If you have a look in the mod directory you'll be able to see the modified textures.

Are the textures resized from the originals or new assets based on the originals?

There are a couple of mods for which I'd like to make child versions so I wanted to see if it was worthwhile doing considering my lack of artistic ability.

I'm really enjoying making sure the kids in my colony are well protected given how often predators come after them.
