A Mod for Disabling V.A.T.S.?

[zerocompliance]

First of all, I'd like to apologize if this has been covered already. I'm new to both the Nexus Forums and modding in general, so please forgive the lowly newb if this is something that is common knowledge.

 

I'm currently using an XBox 360 controller on my first FWE playthrough (amazing changes, by the way, in case anyone reading this contributed to that project) and XPadder in order to utilize the d-pad for hotkeyable features. The problem is there are so many awesome hotkeyable features offered by FWE and, with the XBox Controller option enabled, I can't clear button assignments. The d-pad is my only option. I love the way that the XBox controller option essentially emulates everything that was great about playing on my 360, but if there were a way to disable V.A.T.S. so that pressing the right bumper did nothing, that would free up at least one button to assign via XPadder. Is there a mod available that does this, or perhaps a line of code I might be able to alter via Notepad? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Why not just change the RB in xpadder to something else?

don't have xpadder

but something like this would be really nice

have you tried using mods that let you assign custom hotkeys to locations and overlapping your vats hotkey with one of those?

 

If not i am certain you can make it so you can reassign vats to a hotkey somewhere else that way you won't press it.

 

As for completely deactivating it. That might not be possible considering how fallout 3 is made. It seems to be a very core element of the game and the nature of how it works is graphically intensive (kinda) which requires lots of animation and the game was designed for a console not a computer. This means less processing power which means to have such smooth animations and features it would require fairly efficient code. So that means they would have to hardcode the hell out of it to make it useable on a console or smoothe for a console. Since there are indeed other things that it has to do at the same time and the game itself is pretty massive with lots of options.

what mod?

how can I do that?

In FWE, you can assign the hotkey of your sprint mod.

 

In my vanilla game vats is assigned to v. So i can just assign sprint to v.

 

I'm not sure it will do what you want, it may cause a CTD or other errors.

 

As for re-assigning VATS. Someone would have to make that mod for you, i havn't stumbled across anything on the nexus that does it. it doesn't seem too difficult to make such a mod.

 

But i wouldn't install FWE just to overlap your VATS key. You should go through the thousands of mods in the game and find one that functions like this. There are tons of mods that give you options to assign hotkeys cuz they add new customizable features to the game. If you like night vision, i know for a fact gopher's nightvision mods give you this ability. So now you can overlap VATS and add to your game at the same time. Only con to gopher's nightvision is ENB is incompatible with it.
