Useable World Objects

What this?

A Mod to make a couple of world objects useable by the player. For now this adds: a Binocular with nightvision, high magnification, and target marking. A Spyglass with less but still magnificent magnification with a vintage zoom overlay. A Hammer, a Pool Cue, a Pipe Wrench and a Frying Pan as blunt weapons, with mediocre damage, and ranging staggering effects. Two new forms of explosives: the Wilby Grenade(frag/flame hybrid) and Molotov Cocktails. A Falme Thrower made from a Extinguisher, Solvent, and a Pressure Tank. Last but not least you get a wearable music player "Walkman" to choose from 10 tracks already in game, like the Neon Disco music, some Classical, Country and Pop, as well as the Crimson Death Metal run in many bars across the settled systems.

How was it done?

This mod is free of any base game edits, and will hopefully stay in future versions. If edits have to be made a secondary patch will be provided.

Most of the custom models are mash ups from existing stuff in game. That's also true for the wepaon setups and customizations. There were some boundaries due to reflection locks, but nothing that couldn't be circumvented with legal creativity.

However, while everything is fully functional and has appeasing presence most of the time, some things can only berefined with a future Creation Engine tool, like for example the sound of the Frying Pan, or the explosive particle effect on the Wilby Grenade.
