Cyberware-Ex Gorilla Projectile Conjoined

Please read the details below for a better understanding of how this mod works.

Files with 1.1 version are vanilla and vtk skin options. They can be installed at any time and include skin color options 1-12, you choose one out of the zip you download.

Files with 1.2 version don't use skin they use materials. The split options are separate downloads. The launcher arm color is designated, the left arm. The right arm is the variant inside these downloads, you choose what color right arm from the options inside. Then there's plain black for both arms, plain white (enamel) for both arms, or a color options folder which has many other options to choose from like chrome, gold, or blue, which again covers both arms. Only the split options have separate arm colors.

This mod should be loaded last or close to last. Only use one file at a time. 1.2 Version should not be installed until gorilla arms are active on player as new fixes related to colored (non-skin) options will disappear your right arm without the cyberware installed. 1.1 version of this mod will take effect only when gorilla arms are active on the player and can be left on forever.

VTK option now available, considered 1.1 version as described above. Tattoos now working with VTK version.

Dedicated male version is a tentative WIP. Right now there are too many issues to recommend using this mod for male V, some of which may not be fixable. Right now the arms only render properly with fists raised.

If you've ever wished your left arm didn't magically transform when using both gorilla arms and projectile launcher, you're in luck. This mod achieves exactly that. Animations and functionality for gorilla arms are preserved. For instance, when forcing open doors, attacking, etc., the right arm will still open and animate. No gameplay/combat specific issues. Personal link functions as expected, as do punching animations, finishers, etc.

Mechanism and other recolor mods will typically work as long as they don't alter certain meshes.

This mod is likely not something you want unless you are using Cyberware-Ex, as it was created specifically with that mod in mind even if it is not a requirement. Altered internals to remove piston clipping, inspired by the mod by XivelG - Gorilla Arms PistonRemover

The clipping pistons are a vanilla issue and can be seen when looking all the way down or when using a mod that removes the knuckles. For this reason they were removed. This is only a positive change.

This mod will alter both arms up to the shoulder (forearm only for right arm only is not possible at this time) with the chosen material or skin color archive you pick. Skin colors are numbered 1-12 and correspond to the in-game skin color options starting from left to right. 1 is pale/white, on to 12 at dark/black. You need to match the proper skin tone if you don't want the body and arms to be separate tones. This is necessary because the game is attempting to read material data from both gorilla arms and the launcher arm and they do not align otherwise.

The I Know Kung Fu pose which activates gorilla arms will cause slight misalignment on left arm elbow and shoulder. This is also vanilla issue. Any other pose is fine. Aiming the launcher before going into photo mode will make your right arm go back to normal until you switch poses. This is probably something most people won't be doing but it's best to be informed. Changing skin color and possibly other appearance options during character customization will make your arms disappear in the inventory screen until you raise and lower your arms in game.

Phantom Liberty: The optional side gig that allows you to play as Kurt Hansen will have a visual bug with this mod. Hansen's left arm will have some clipping as Kurt has gorilla arms. Ultimately a pretty minor issue as you'll deal with it for all of sixty seconds, but it's there. Consider uninstalling for that one segment if this will bother you.

Includes an optional download for an exposed internals version, very much a work in progress. Expect your arm to disappear when using anything but gorilla arms, even in photo or inventory mode. Only photomode poses that activate gorilla arms will work. The file is only there for people who might make use of it.

If you are looking for a certain color option feel free to leave a request within reason.

Confirmed compatible with Arasaka Cyberarms.

Big thanks to psiberx for creating Cyberware-Ex and xBaebsae for creating and making VTK available to the community.

Uninstall mid playthrough should have zero consequences. Further issues discovered please let me know.
