seems to be borken. a shame.

@Caesar thanks, its on my to-do list. Will most likely be updated after my armor re-balance mod and be combined with a heavy armor skill tree.

Not working in current Stable.

Armor has some significant design space limitations atm. Light armor is the only armor type that needs any assistance to be viable as it is missing high tier armor pieces (nanoweave vests are t6 and the highest tier 'light' armor chestpiece) and DV is a weaker defensive mechanic than AV. I am waiting until the next update before I resume armor balancing and adding a 'heavy' tree.

Wouldn't making armour flexiweaved, essentially make it behave like light armour (from my understanding?). But from a gameplay perspective, a skill tree giving advantages for restricted choice is fun sounding :D

If you want a proper separation that makes sense:

Light armor is armor that adds any value to the DV
Medium armor is armor that adds between 2 and 0 penalty to the DV
Heavy armor could be everything else

Otherwise even plate mail could be light through flexiweaving it.

fixed, thanks!

i've been getting some occasional crashes with this mod enabled when entering the skill menu.

this is the message i get in the log right before the crash:
MODERROR [Light Armor [Fork]] - You do not need to set the display name of the skill
Light Armor, please remove the attempt to set it in XRL.World.Parts.Skill.Spore_LightArmor..ctor
MODERROR [Light Armor [Fork]] - You do not need to set the display name of the skill Light Armor Specialization, please remove the attempt to set it in XRL.World.Parts.Skill.Spore_LightArmorSpec..ctor
Crash!!!

here's the crash log following that if it's of any use:

correct, just updated the description.

I'm guessing Bucklers and Shields do not count towards light armour equipped

Light armor is armor with no DV penalty, that is now added to the description.

Specifically
Light armor is armor with 0 DV penalty
Medium armor is armor with DV penalty less than AV
Heavy armor is armor with DV penalty equal to AV

That said medium and heavy armor categories don't really exist in-game outside of the flexiweaved item mod

@Wakko, according to the original, it's determined by DV penalties, so greater than or equal to but otherwise yes.

Which armor is light? Armor with DV>0?
