Zippys crazy arrow/bolt mega mod.

[ZippyDSMlee]

This has the most edits of any TES I have modded before, Fallout NV comes close with my multi explosive bullet(fire,frost,poison,emp) mod I want to polish up then release after I get this done.

 

And yes I know meh another arrow/bolt mod so meh, LOL But I like it so far and want to share whenever I get it done.

 

So I am making a multi-tier arrow and bolt damage,speed,magic radius and magic damage mod.

 

 

For speed for both bolts and arrows gravity is halved and range is quadrupled speed itself comes in 3 tiers for arrows its 5600 to 11600 the default speed in skyrim is 3600.

 

Bolts go from 8600 to 16600 their skyrim default is 5400.

 

I am aware of the tilt code in the ini needs to be tweaked, found out you can use -/negative which helped a bit but it goes left from dead center a bit, but still useable.

 

 

Damage is staggered falmer arrows are the lowest they do from 5 to 13 points of damage at 1-4 price depending on which tier you use, on the high end Deadric dose 50-85 of damage costs nearly as much with dragon bone doing the most at 50-100 depending on what tier you use. And are as much as 85 an arrow.

 

I’ve made Bolts do more damage than their arrow counterparts tier 1 is 18 to 35 in damage while dwarven is 18-65, all dawngaurd bolts are together I might separate them but I dunno, explosive bolts are separate their magic damage and magic damage radius are independent of each other, at least they are on paper so far LOL.

 

 

The tiers are broken up for skyrim only or dawngaurd and there are dragonbone esps to adjust the dragonbone specific arrows.

 

So you can adjust the arrows of skyrim,dawngaurd and dragon borne separately, the bolts of dawngaurd are all in the same tier levels. Tier catagories are speed, damage and for anything with enchantments(magic damage) or explosives (magic radius) they get options for them.

I got permission from enchantment bolts and arrows mod creator DarkFox127 so I will be using his 175 + arrows and bolts mod. SO not only can you change and adjust the ones above but you will be able to adjust all the new enchanted arrows and botls separately from each other in all 4 categories speed, damage and for anything with enchantments(magic damage) or explosives (magic radius) they get options for them.

 

The goal is the ability to use a tier or not use any tier at all.

 

I’ll also offer optional files for normal dragon born arrows, reilking spears and dwarnven sphere bolts(yes I up’d them to roughly match the arrow tier you have selected). As well as tier 4 for damage radius and magic damage for the dawngaurd explosive bolts, since I have not run into any in 30 hours of play I declare them special so I will give them optional crazy level of damage and or radius. LOL

Installing it seems nightmareish, I mean I will have them in tiers with the master files so all you have to do is drop a tier into your data folder then adjust the categories using higher or lower tiers removing or disabling the unused tier.

 

I might need to make it a FOMOD but cannot find any easy to understand tutorial.

Okay back to working on this I have over 50 files, trying to dumb down the install process.

 

Dose this sound that complicated?

-----------

First install EAB-MAINFILE-SKYRIM.esm for Skyrim without Dawnguard or EAB-MAINFILE-SKYRIMandDAWNGUARD.esm if you have Dawnguard. The place ZAB and or EAB files in any load order below the MAINFILE, if you want to adjust the magic damage or magic radius on enhanced arrows/bolts have 1-1.ZAB-MAINFILE-BOLT-MAGICRADIUS-MAGICDAMAGE-DAWNGUARD-.esp above/before the 1-2.ZAB-MAGICRADIUS file that should be above/before the 1-3.ZAB-MAGICDAMAGE file. Remember to install only one of the 3 tiers of any file.
