Deadly Reflex - Remove Decapitation?

[Lardtree3]

Decapitation causes some strange bugs for me (I tried to get help with the problem in this thread, but unfortunately no one seemed able to help.

 

I know there is a mod that makes it so knives cause throat slitting instead so I guess what I am asking is if either of the following is possible:

 

1. Make is so that swords and other bladed weapons cause throat slitting instead of decapitation.

 

2. Make it so that DR recognizes swords as knives with the aforementioned mod active to allow for throat slitting instead.

 

3. Or if you have any advice on how to avoid the issues I outlined in the thread linked at the top here, that would be great too, but I really prefer the throat slitting to the decapitation.

 

Any help here would be fantastic as this problem has bothered me for some time, but I love DR too much to give it up. I am using DR 5 by the way.

Isn't there an ini setting or something that sets what length a sword has to be to be recognized as one? I can't remember. You can probably set the values to be really high and then it should have everything recognized as a dagger/shortsword.

[Lardtree3]

I think you're right, but I wouldn't know where to look. The ini file isn't in the INI folder. Would I be able to acess that through the CS? Doesn't seem like it...

 

If I knew where that was stored, I think that would be the right way to go.

Okay, I think I found a relevant script in the CS that might have something to do with setting the correct value, but I have no idea how to interpret it. Perhaps someone can help:

Sorry for double post, but there's also this script which is tied to using the Deadly Reflex Reset item that is given to you. Using this items triggers a quest to set all the keys for DR combat. That data must be stored somewhere, but I don't know where and I'm not sure if this script would tell, but maybe someone could get a hint from it:

 

scn skycaptainskeyconfigScript

begin OnEquip Player
if(player.isRidingHorse == 0 && getquestrunning SkycaptainsHorsecombat == 0)
	stopquest skycaptainsSb
	startquest skycaptainsKeycustomisingquest	
endif
end

Just a little bump, I would really love someone to take a look at this.
