📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

Simple script that allows bulk editing of weapon dismemberment properties, making them more logical and less messy.

The mod comes with a basic INI file covering FNV, DLC, and TTW weapons. By default, pistols will no longer cause dismemberment, while blades still will, and so on.

Don't hesitate to let me know if any edit seems off. You can also create your own tweaks by making your own custom INI files.

No direct edits are made to weapon records, all changes are handled entirely through script.

REQUIREMENTS

JIP LN NVSE Plugin

CUSTOM INI FILES

To create your own INI file:

  • []Create a .txt file inside the data/config/zebumper/Dismemberment folder, then change its extension to .ini.[/]

    []You can name it whatever you like, but keep in mind that files earlier in alphabetical order take priority over those later on, in case two files edit the same weapon. So a file named aaa.ini will win conflicts against a file named bbb.ini.[/]

    []Add the section at the top of your INI file, just as it's done in the one provided with the mod.[/]

    []Then, under this section, enter line by line the weapon's editor ID as the key and the dismemberment setting as the value. Values are: 0 (allows limb explosion and dismemberment), 1 (dismemberment only), 2 (explosion only), or 3 (no dismemberment and no explosion). For example, WeapNV9mmPistol = 3 will prevent the 9mm pistol from exploding or dismembering any limb.[/]

    []Save your file.[/]

There is no limit to the number of custom files you can create.
