📋 About This Mod
Requires lStewieAI's Tweaks and Engine Fixes (But you should have this great mod anyway!) and NVSE
Better Shell Ejection attempts to make ballistic combat more satisfying by making ejected casings more realistic. Best paired with a mod that increases the duration casings spend on the ground. Such as Shell Casings Stay Longer ESPless, IMPACT Etc.
Alternatively, you can add the below lines to my file, and tweak any of my, or the new values to what suits you best!
fGunShellLifetime = (In seconds)
fGunShellCameraDistance = (Draw distance, multiples of 512. 512, 1024, 2048 etc)
iDebrisMaxCount = (How many shells can be on the ground at once)
