Overview

CAS Armour is a fully featured, slot-based equipment system for RedM servers. It includes a custom NUI interface with drag-and-drop mechanics, 7 unique armor sets (70 pieces total), set bonuses with passive abilities, durability/wear mechanics, crafting stations, and deep stat-based gameplay.

Unique Passive Abilities (10-Piece Bonuses)

Set Passive Effect
Wolf Hunter Wolf Detection Reduction NPCs have drastically reduced awareness of you
Bear Barbarian Bear Charge Resistance Immune to ragdoll effects
Outlaw Duster Bullet Dodge Chance 15% chance to completely negate bullet damage
Mystic Scholar Enemy Detection Boost Blips appear on hostile/alert NPCs nearby
Snake Oil Salesman Poison Aura Deals AoE poison damage to nearby NPCs
Night Stalker Assassination Expertise Bonus stealth + extra damage on unaware NPCs
Wild West Legend Quickdraw Mastery 2x intimidation effect + passive deadeye recovery

Damage Reduction

  • Formula: reduction% = (armorBase x multiplier) + categoryResist
  • Capped at configurable maximum (default 65%)
  • Categories: Bullet, Melee, Animal, Fall, Explosion, Poison
  • Damage is reduced, not absorbed - your health still goes down, but less

Durability & Wear

  • Taking damage reduces armor piece condition
  • Wear spreads to nearby slots (torso hit also wears belt/amulet)
  • When condition reaches 0, the piece breaks and is removed
  • Condition is saved per-item via metadata

Movement & Speed

  • Heavier armor slows you down (weight penalty per piece)
  • staminaCostModifier affects movement speed
  • Configurable min/max speed multipliers

Environmental Effects

  • Cold/Heat Resistance: Reduces core drain in extreme temperatures
  • Stamina/Deadeye Drain: Armor modifies core drain rates
  • Stealth/Noise: Reduces NPC hearing and seeing range
  • Intimidation: Chance to make aimed NPCs surrender with hands up

Crafting System

  • Blacksmith NPC stations at configurable locations (default: Valentine, Annesburg, Rhodes)
  • NPCs with proper outfit spawns and idle animations
  • 3-layer menu: Set Selection > Piece List > Confirm/Craft
  • Progress bar with animation during crafting
  • 14 crafting materials included

In-Game HUD

  • Bottom-left HUD showing equipped armor pieces with condition bars
  • Auto-hides when no armor is equipped
  • Clean, minimal design matching RDR2 aesthetics
