PIDL-lite - Pip-Boy Item DetaiLs

==================== PIDL-lite (Pip-Boy Item DetaiLs lite) -------------------- Discussion Thread: http://www.fookunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=498 ==================== Version: alpha 1 Date: 06-01-2009 Author: HugePinball E-mail: huge.pinball@gmail.com ==================== What\'s new ==================== alpha 1 - fixed repeated polling of hotkey - added conditional display of \"Zoom\" and \"(Scoped)\" - added Condition and Skill Damage \"Penalty\" display Contents ==================== (A) Description (B) Requirements (C) Installation (D) Usage (E) Conflicts/Known Issues (F) Credits (G) Permissions/Modding Usage ==================== (A) Description ==================== PIDL-lite is an upgrade to the Pip-Boy 3000 that allows you to view extended information on certain items in your inventory. Currently limited to weapons only (excluding Explosives). To test out some dynamic values, I\'ve added the \"Penalty\" stat. This is the combined weapon damage penalty due to current weapon condition and current associated weapon skill. Since I\'m still limited to 9 parameters while using the basic MessageBox (PIDL-lite will not stay this way), I\'ve removed \"Zoom\" from non-scoped weapons, displaying \"Penalty\" instead. !!NOTES!! This is a very preliminary version - a number of things are not fully developed. - Damage from explosive projectiles (like missiles) is not calculated or displayed. - Range is a calculated value based on Minimum Spread. It is designed to be a more user-friendly way of expressing a weapon\'s accuracy (as compared with spread). These values likely need to be adjusted - feedback in the forums are welcome. ==================== (B) Requirements ==================== - Fallout 3 - FOSE http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=984389 - (Recommended) Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640 ==================== (C) Installation ==================== 1) Place the plugin file \"PIDL-lite.esp\" in your \"Fallout 3\\Data\" folder. 2) Using FOMM or another mod manager, activate the plugin anywhere in your load order :: Uninstall 1) Deactive and remove the plugin. :: For METRIC version - Follow same steps as above, but with \"PIDL-lite(metric).esp\" instead. ==================== (D) Usage ==================== - Available in the Pip-Boy Inventory menu, on the Weapons tab. Equip a weapon and press the \'D\' key - this will bring up the Item Details display. Click \'OK\' to return to the Pip-Boy. That\'s it! ==================== (E) Conflicts/Known Issues ==================== :: Conflicts - PIDL-lite uses the \'D\' key as a hotkey, and will have problems with any mods which do the same. - Apart from hotkey issues, PIDL-lite should not conflict with any other mods, and should be fully compatible with any UI mods. :: Known Issues - Hotkey still polled when console is open.
