Munitions Expansion Framework

What is this mod, what does it do ?!

Munitions Expansion Framework (MEF for short) is a mod that adds a framework of new munitions/assets into starfield, allowing modders to use specific ammo or casings for their custom weapons, or for users, for use with the vanilla weapons using the vanilla weapons patch, this is the list of current features, remember none of this is final:

• []Accurate casings dimensions, textures and models.[/]

  []Completely new munitions such as 5. 7x28mm, 9x19mm or 7. 62x51mm etc, each having their dedicated ammo entry, art object entry for casings, custom ammo boxes and LL integration, as well as recipes available for crafting at a custom Ammunition Workbench, here's a list of the calibres/casings implemented :[/]

  - 10mm Auto

  - 12 Gauge Buckshot and Slug

  - . 277 SIG Fury

  - . 300 BLK

  - . 44 Magnum

  • []Custom made projectiles and properties for some munition variants, such as . 50 BMG AP, API, as well as 12 Gauge Slugs.[/]

    []Adjusted casing ejection settings and lifetime to be more satisfying.[/]

    []Easy to use for modders to add casings to their weapons.[/]

    For modders

    If you're a modder making a custom weapon and would like to allow your weapon to eject casings follow these instructions : 

    • []In Nifskope, open your core/receiver weapon nif, select BSConnectPoint::Parents.[/]

      []At the bottom in the Block List tab, in Block details add a Connect point by changing the Num Connect Point value up(ie 5>6), click on the refresh icon under it next to Connect Points.[/]

      []In the list of Connect points, you now have a newly created connect point, select it, in Parent, rename the text to whatever you want or leave it blank, in Name, add P-Casing, modify the rotation and translation to adjust the ejection angle and start point, save the nif.[/]

      []Next, In the CK, select your weapon entry, edit, in the ammunition tab, at the bottom, use the Override Shell casing list, select whatever casing you want for your weapon, the assets provided by MEF should be named MEF-xxxxx, once you're done, click apply, save.[/]

      [*]Make sure your weapon mod is loading AFTER the MunitionsExpansionFramework(MEF).esm, as a general rule, the MEF .esm should be the lowest possible in yo
