JIP Localized Damage Fix

This mod was created in response to a claim that NPC targeting would always target the player's head due to body part damage multipliers. This was later found to be false in both in game testing and engine investigation. This mod is not needed for any purpose.

It has been left up instead of deleted to help mitigate the incorrect impression that the false claim created.

JIP's Localized DT/DR setting is very cool, but the player's head generally having a higher damage multiplier with mods like New Blood/BLEED/BLEEDLESS generally results in AI almost exclusively targeting the player's head, effectively making body armor useless in the majority of circumstances. This small scriptrunner just standardizes all of the player's body part damage multipliers.

All body part multipliers are normalized at 2x.

Customization:

Fun fact, you can tweak the numbers in this file to change the player's body part mults to whatever you want, if you aren't using this with the JIP setting.

Requirements:

JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, the usual stuff.

Intended explicitly for use with JIP's Localized DT/DR setting.

Installation:

Regular installation.

Limitations:

Obviously, getting hit in the head should do more damage than getting shot in the leg. I think this is still a worthwhile change, however; the reduced DT/DR of your headgear will serve to make headshots on the player more dangerous, while still making headgear stats very important. Additionally, since you hardly ever got targeted in other body parts but the head anyway, it didn't even really matter that much that the other body parts had different mults anyway.

Permissions:

Do whatever.
