Service Your Gear - Weapon and Armor Degradation

SUMMARY:

There are a few equipment degradation mods out there, each with their own strengths and weakness, but none of them had the options I was looking for. I built Service Your Gear (SYG) to provide you with a wide level of customization for how your equipment degrades.

FEATURES:

- General

- All slots considered and optional to disable

- Handles weapons & armor

- To service your gear back to health, just temper it as normal

- Does not change the vanilla tempering system

- Degradation

- Degradation supports PC and NPCs

- Options for base levels to degrade, and modifiers for:

- Weapons striking, blocking, and bow firing

- Power attacks, two-handed, bash, sneak, arrows, magic, and stamina

- Being hit in the chest, or periphery, while blocked or not

- Clothes, light armor, heavy armor

- Material tiers, so higher tiers are damaged less:

- High: Daedric, Dragonplate, Dragonscale, Dragonbone, Ebony, Daedric, Ebony, Stalhrim

- Medium: Dwarven, Elven, Elven Guilded, Glass, Orcish, Blades, Nordic

- Low: everything else

- Material keywords are in form lists, so you can edit them

- Sleep damage (because who sleeps in armor)

- Turning vampire / lycan while in your armor

- Low health and stamina

- And more (see screenshots)

- Breakage

- Occurs when the equipment health bottoms out (i.e. it hits 0, works like player health).

- Breakage can destroy, drop, and/or just prevent equipping

- Although armor health can reach 0, the armor will still retain it's basic armor protection, hence why we drop, destroy, or unequip

- Option to prevent destroying enchanted items added in v2. 1

- Breakage affects PC only

- No breaking of NPC's items as this can cause issues, and after trying it in BES, I didn't like it

- NPCs can wear items that have degraded to the broken state, meaning you can pick up items with no health from NPCs that are too damaged to equip

- So launching an enemy off a cliff will result in a smaller chance of broken gear than hacking them to death

- Scraps when broken

- A convenience, but not a fully built up feature (I won't be building this up much because it gets messy

- Uses two form lists to pair material keyword with scrap, so you can edit it if you want (index offset is important!)

- No Breakage / Degradation Formlist

- As of v2. 0, items on this formlist will be ignored from the breakage and degradation system

- Has a separate save system for bringing lists betw
