That's probably because they're all so convinced that they're so much better modders than me. And maybe a few are. But boy, they certainly don't lack confidence, do they?

Good sir, you can't pay me enough to go to France while our countries are at war!
Okay, everybody's always going on about this combat overhaul or that combat overhaul, and I've been trying to find one that feels "right" since release. I do believe I've got a good recipe going here.

Near the bottom of my load order is where I keep these mods, the list is as follows.

RWD-Realistic Dismemberment 1.0.esp
XFO - 1ba - Dmg - Non-Var - 1x.esp
No Neos.esp
Bodypart Data Mod - Harsher Version.esp
XFO - 1aa - Accuracy Revamp - mild.esp

The most important mod here is Bodypart Data Mod. It edits the data for npc types in the game, so even new npcs from mods will have their stats rebalanced (except from mods such as Monster Mod where entirely new creatures are added, but I've been fending off those fuckers just fine)

The next is an optional side module from Realistic Weapon Damages. I wasn't a fan of the core module but this is nice for less limbs and stuff going everywhere.

Third on the actual damage list is one of the modules I'm running from XFO. It makes it so that everyone does the same damage with guns. Totally awesome when combined with the second module from them, the accuracy revamp. Instead of starting off rather accurate and having scaled damage, you start off wobbly but formidable until you can get your skills up. Much better.

The last is awesome as gently caress, a mod called No Neos. Enemies will no longer magically dodge bullets, thus making all other combat overhaul modules more effective.

So yeah, I've got this running on Normal with Hardcore and it's fuckin' wild.

Oh, and it's compatible with all custom weapons and armor.

So...yeah.

Bodypart data looks good, although given the damage dropoff when not shooting the torso it'd be nice if they made it slightly easier to cripple limbs as a tradeoff.

---

Got a question for the people who use guns in NV (I generally use energy weapons)- I've got some code that can be used to turn any semi-auto weapon into a burst-fire one, but I can't really figure out how to apply it.

Currently I've got a single craftable burst-fire rifle, but that seems a tad limiting when the functionality could just as easily be applied by having craftable 'Burst' ammo or a 'Burst Mode' slotless apparel item you equip/unequip to toggle it you can get by taking a perk. No idea which one of those methods would be the best fit for how people actually want to play guns characters though, and what the best way is to filter out guns that are inappropriate for burst fire beyond 'No fully automatic weapons' and '2 hand automatic grip type' to filter out the bolt-actions.

Restricting it to a custom ammo of specific calibres (like, say, .556) or a whitelist of Burst-OK weapons runs into issues with mod-added ammo types and weapons, but allowing any ammo type to use it means burst-fire Sniper Rifles. I'm leaning towards any ammo type as it seems better to let people do stupid things than prevent them doing sensible stuff, but then that means using the slightly odd 'Burst Mode' apparel toggle.

E: Of course I could just be overthinking this, but I figure no point doing something if you're not going to do it properly. Up to a point, at least.

Well, I'm not sure how the script works but if you can make it attach to something then it can work with fairly minimal work, I guess.

For example, say you were to do this for The Armory. We changed most of the automatic weapons to a toned down autotracer projectile type to reduce crashing, but you could make a sub-mod where you make a new custom projectile type - say autotracer2 as the name, but functionally the same as the stock one and assign that projectile type to all the weapons you want to have burst mode. Then the script looks for that autotracer2 projectile type and applies it to it. Then it doesn't matter what caliber it is or have incompatibilities with caliber type mods, and it's incredibly minimal work to ensure you're not doing anything silly like accidentally making a sniper rifle burst fire.

Naky posted:

That's basically a whitelist system- any weapon that has burst-fire has to be set beforehand to use autotracer2. If a mod adds a new weapon I've got to either come up with a filter to choose whether to set it to use autotracer2 (and I could just as easily not bother with the projectile change and decide if it's valid or not in the script when the player equips it), or just leave it burstless.
The script just tracks when the player fires, and fires 2 more shots- it can be stuck on an item, or a quest, or a weapon, the only complicated part of it is deciding whether or not the weapon equipped deserves those extra shots.

That said I've just discovered you can get the shots per second of a gun through NVSE, so putting a minimum shots/sec for burst mode to work is probably a good filter.

Yeah, that's probably best actually. The onus is on the modders afterwards to make sure their weapons fit the script and not the script to any specific mod kind of thing. We converted all of our sniper rifles to 2 hand automatic so we could increase the firing rate, but with that it would be on us to make sure that it's not that high so as to trigger the script.

I loaded it up in Notepad, hit CTRL-F, and typed "thread." That's the only way I can find it. It is buried within a bunch of stuff.

I'm playing it at the moment. It's working great so far -- feels awesome to be back in the Capital Wasteland. I actually deleted the BSA files after extracting them (and I didn't overwrite my ini file), and I don't seem to be running into any problems so far, so the requirement of needing "20 gigs" of space is only true insofar that you need that much space while you're installing it.

EDIT: you'll want to make sure not to overwrite any existing files, and even after you've done that, it's a good idea to remove meshes/textures that shouldn't be overwritten w/ their Fallout 3 counterparts, like heads/hairs.

I think it's because he's busy working on FOOKNV, though I'm sure Arenovalis himself will provide a better answer.
