📋 About This Mod
This mod seeks to improve the balance and some other visual aspects of the PBW - The 9mm Pistol. Most changes are subjective.
What this does:
- []Ha_ru's Animations for the MP443 are used in the original mod, but did not have their power armor counterparts imported; this has been fixed.
- [
- WPNFireSingleSighted (simpler recoil, screen center is obstructed for a shorter amount of time);
- WPNWalkForwardSighted (sights will remain near the screen center instead of drifting down).
- []Due to the animations changed above, some sights needed to be recalibrated:
- Reflex and Advanced Reflex's .nif models had minor position adjustments; both sights are now of the dot variant (personal preference).
- Integrated everything from Glow Sights for the PBW - The 9mm Pistol (glow sight mod was recalibrated to the animation changes as well).
-
[]Created custom Instance Naming Rule for the 9mm Pistol so its name will reflect its ammunition type (9mm Pistol, . 32 Pistol, . 45 Pistol).
- []Recoil was changed on the ammunitions other than 9mm. When compared to it:
- The . 45 conversion will have +20% recoil.
- The Western Standoff unique (. 357) will have +80% recoil (actually a decrease from the original).
- []Rates of fire were changed. The 9mm Pistol's was increased to match the Pipe Gun, and the Western Standoff's was lowered to that less than a 10mm Pistol. Their in game values (10mm is 46, for comparison) are now:
- Western Standoff - 40
- []Base values were changed:
- Western Standoff is now worth 350 caps from 1500 (bruh)
-
[]The 9mm Pistol's base AP cost was reduced from 30 to 24 (by comparison 10mm's is 28)
-
[]Injected the ammunitions from Munitions (9mm, . 32 and . 357) automatically into the game. If already injected by the player or some other mod, nothing will happen (so no double injections)
- [
- Generated AnimTextData (for the gun bash kill anims)
And probably some other minor stuff.
Installation:
This mod has two versions, one containing a ESP and another
