📋 About This Mod

BCR v2. 0 is now released. It can now work together with Tactical Reload mod and allows to have something that was impossible in previous versions - post reload animation. Read more about it here:

You might ask, what does that post reload animation even means? Well if you paid close attention to how bcr works, essentialy it makes reload animation to transition to idle when needed. it was ok solution and wasnt much noticeable for some weapons, but that also was limiting certain kind of animations (for example bolt push when reloading bolt action weapons). Any animator who wanted to have their animation work with BCR needed to make sure that transition to idle looks good on every shell or bullet insert. For many weapons it was very difficult to do or even impossible. So animation interrupts in this case looked unnatural.

Starting from v2. 0, now having separate after interrupt animation is possible (meaning no more limitations to any kind of reload) thanks to weapon behavior edits - work by i_code_i, hyperX and Bwones. BCR takes advantage of Tactical Reload mod functionality and allows any weapon to have reload end animation in new animation file WPNReloadToIdle.

This mod is an engine level fix of an infamous Fallout 4 limitation, where weapons can't be reloaded based upon the number of shots fired. For example, the lever action rifle from Far Harbor - no matter how many times you fire, your character always loads 5 rounds into the gun.

The dynamic nature of this mod allows other modders to make their weapons have this functionality without even touching the Creation Kit or any scripts. It only requires the animation files to be set in a specific manner that was created specifically for this mod.

The detailed article about using this functionality + v2. 0 advanced functionality for external mods can be read here.
