WEAVE – Equipment-EX Extension – Wardrobe Evaluation and Automated Visual Engine

What this mod does

W.E.A.V.E. is an advanced extension for Equipment-Ex that adds smart wardrobe management, automatic item classification, and quality-of-life improvements for outfit handling.

Why this mod exists

When your wardrobe grows to thousands of items, Equipment-Ex becomes hard to use. Endless scrolling, no proper filters, no real outfit organization.

W.E.A.V.E. fixes this by making large wardrobes manageable and fast to navigate.

It uses a Dual-Layer Architecture:
– Visual Layer shows what others see
– Tactical Layer contains your real gear and stats

Your armor keeps you alive. Your visual appearance defines how you look to others. W.E.A.V.E. manages the visual side through Kiroshi optical projection.

The system classifies clothing using the native game tag system and extends it with a custom behavioral layer.

It includes 40 tags across 4 categories:
– Styles
– Factions
– Wealth levels
– Reactions

It also supports fully custom user-defined tags. Other mods can read these tags to create faction disguise systems, NPC reactions, set bonuses, and more. Clothing choices in Night City gain functional meaning.

Features overview

◈ System overview
W.E.A.V.E. is an AI-powered wardrobe management firmware integrated with Kiroshi optics and Equipment-Ex. It turns your wardrobe into a structured visual management system with classification and projection features.

It uses a classification matrix that maps clothing into 40 core definitions with support for unlimited custom tags.

The system does not create clothing. It organizes and interprets it.

◈ Dual-Layer Architecture

– Tactical Layer
Your equipped armor. Protection and gameplay stats.

– Visual Layer
The appearance projected through Kiroshi optics. This is what other characters see.

W.E.A.V.E. operates only on the Visual Layer. Your look can differ from your actual gear without affecting stats.

◈ ChromaScan™ classification engine
An automated system that analyzes wardrobe items and assigns tags.

How it works:
– scans item IDs and display names
– prioritizes user-defined tags
– skips items with existing native tags

Data storage:
– auto-generated tags: r6\storages\WEAVETags\auto_tags.json
– custom tags: r6\storages\WEAVETags\custom_tags.json
– external tag packs: custom_tags_*.json (read-only support)

Everything stays outside the save file.
