Name: RobCo Certified Stealth Bots Version: 1.1 Date: 2010/03/10 Category: Companions Recommended: Fallout Mod Manager Author(s): Q Source: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11407 Description =========== Makes your RobCo Certified friends stealthly! Location ======== In order for your robots to cloak, you need to give them each a 'RobCo Robot Cloak Generator.' They are available from Moira Brown and Seagrave Holmes. Alternatively, if you have CRAFT, you can build your own 'RobCo Robot Cloak Generators.' Schematics are available from Moira Brown and Seagrave Holmes. Details ======= This mod make your RobCo Certified companions go into cloak mode whenever you sneak, provided they each have a RobCo Robot Cloak Generator. There are two levels of cloak: partial and full. Partial is 50% chameleon, and Full is 100%. The difference is mostly visual (it's hard to find your robots to access their storage if they are fully cloaked), in either mode they will be prevented from causing enemies to aggro on them. You toggle between the two modes using a hotkey (the default is 'j,' but it can be configured using the '< RobCo Stealth Config >' item in your Aid menu). The mod includes a compatibility patch for FWE/EVE. There is also an option that allows the RobCo Robot Cloak Generators to be built using the excellent CRAFT mod.
