Just wondering if anyone can make a SMALL tweak to the game. The perk Boone gives you is awesome for identifying enemies at long range (farther than VATS or most PER can see) but how about a 'green' version as well. THe perk highlights enemies in red, and friendlies in green? This way you don't have to get stupidly close to ID targets before shooting them long range?

That's a good idea, but I have no idea how I'd do it. Making a green version of that texture overlay (I assume that's how it works) would be easy enough (If I had my programs, but whatever), the complicated bit is scripting it so it differentiates between friendly targets and hostile targets, I know next to nothing about scripting.

Hopefully it's at least possible though, I like having Boone around on certain characters.

As it is, it highlights hostiles in red and friendlies don't get highlighted at all.

There shouldn't be a problem differentiating them.

Just figuring out how they are already being differentiated...


That would be groovy though.

What I meant is why do you need to highlight friendlies in green?

Shoot the red ones, ignore the non-red ones. If you want to shoot the friendlies, Boone isn't likely to help you with it.

Because sometimes if you're too far away they won't highlight at all. And when you get closer, if it's a friendly, I've thought that maybe I wasn't close enough for his perk to work.

...So I get closer, and get noticed. It would just help to assist in making out who's who.

Plus, if they're targets you'd like to kill but aren't necessarily enemies, it also helps (Legion/NCR)

Well, I hope you get your mod, but I can't agree with your reasoning.

Legion will always highlight red unless they are scripted for you to talk to, and Boone would never spot NCR troops for you.
