📋 About This Mod

Rework of the original mod to remove performance impact.

From the original mod Damage To Armor Fix:

Very small and simple mod, fixes a longstanding bug where the amount of damage your armor takes is based off your total DR, not the DR from your actual armor. This means that taking Med-X and/or the toughness perk will speed up how quickly your armor breaks.

This mod fixes that using a script, a simple math formula, and a function to override the game setting.

The original mod has its script running every few frames to override a game variable. I believe this is only necessary once per save-load, and expanded the mod to behave accordingly. The script to re-calculate armor damage based on AR value now only runs exactly once per savegame load, no matter if you're coming from main menu or from within a play session.

INSTALLATION

Use a mod manager. While not technically required, i am asking you to head over to the original mod and give it a download - override the file with mine.

The original author has opened permissions, which made my modding here very easy. Please thank him for it.
