Description:
I hate how your character is always pointing his gun foward 100% of the time in First Person, it's not immersive. Now your character will have their guns downed when not firing it. It's a simple animation sweep, for now...
Feel free to comment any suggeestions/bugs
Guys Please, don't ask for a delay or a button for lowering weapons, not possible yet.
I'm trying to improve the mod without CK and i have to confess, it is really hard! But i can do everything you want in minutes after the CK release :)
- ------------------------------------------------
- Plans:
- []Add a delay before lowering your weapon after shooting.
- []Add a Button to manual lower your weapon
- []Stay with your weapon up 100% of the time during combat
- ------------------------------------------------
- Changelog:
- []1. 1
I Suggest you to disable the aim zoom for a better experience! You don't have cyborg eyes to zoom while using the Iron Sights.
Open fallout4.ini and add this after everything:
f1rdPersonAimFOV=XX. 0000 f3rdPersonAimFOV=XX. 0000
Where XX is your current FOV.
-------------------------------------------------
MANUAL INSTALLATION
1) - Extract the meshes folder to the fallout 4 data folder: ..\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data
2) To have the game read loose files you need to change a line in the Fallout4.ini (You don't need to do this step if you already done so with another animation mod) - Located here: ...\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 - Find this line: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ - add "MESHES\" to the end of the line, something like this: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, MESHES\
i suggest you to change "fallout4.ini" to Read Only as the games refreshes this file often.
