📋 About This Mod
Faster PipBoy Light v0. 1 Author: Kaurn --- Description: The PipBoy light seems too slow to activate to me, so this little mod changes the fPlayerPipBoyLightTimer GMST to . 3 from . 8 which makes it come on considerably faster when you hold the PipBoy key down. I\'m enjoying writing tiny mods to learn and make my own game feel smoother. I hope someone else out there finds this useful. --- Installation: Extract the archive to your \\Fallout3\\Data directory. Start the Fallout3 Launcher. Click Data Files. Place a check by Faster PipBoy Light.esp. Play the game and enjoy. --- Uninstallation: Delete - or use the launcher to uncheck - Faster PipBoy Light.esp. Load your save and click Yes when asked if you want to continue to load. --- ChangeLog: v0. 1 Initial release --- Credits: Bethesda for the G. E. C. K.
