perks to increase weight limit

[ntelinatsos]

hi, i want to request if someone can create three perks for me to increase my weight limit, see the list below:

1) one to increase 60lbs and have as requirements: lvl 40 character, Strength 8, Endurance 8 and "Burden to bear" perk (i know a perk that gives 100lbs but i believe is too strong for my gameplay)

2) one to increase 0.5lbs for each character's lvl, so if the caracter is lvl 50, you get +25lbs (and it's going up as the character's lvl going up too). i want this perk with three ranks, each rank will add the same effect to the previus one, so in rank 3, we'll get 1.5lbs (0.5*3) for each character's lvl. also as requirement make it lvl 50, (i believe it doesn't worth to get this perk before this lvl)

3) for the finale, i would like one perk that will require the previus two perks i mentioned (the second perk in rank 3) and its effect would be to increase my weight limit 5% of the current weight i carry. for example, if i carry items weighting 500lbs, this perk will increase my limit to 25lbs more. i want three ranks in this perk (+5% for each rank - 15% total with all three ranks together)

thanks for the help, stelios..

Are you using vanilla level cap or modded? Because if you use vanilla second and third rank of second perk and third perk will be unobtainable. I mean after 50 level - goodbye perks it's a cap. And 25lbs bonus for 50 lvl perk? Kinda meh IMO. And since second perk only available on 50 lvl isn't it easier to just add 25lbs bonus each rank instead of that math stuff with 0.5 lbs per level? But without 50 level requirement it's worth to get this perk at the beginning of the game - your max carry weight will increase each level which is kinda neat and overall bonus for first rank isn't that huge.

 

Don't get me wrong it's not just rant. I can write this mod for you but you really should rework your math. But if you use mod that increases level cap - well I need to know which mod you use so I can work with it(just make your mod dependent from it).

i'm using limitless stats (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64471) and carry weight doctor to increase my weight limit (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61495). i'm trying to play a fair game, so i don't use too strong perks neither i get bonus exp from special perks like the Deft Negotiator from limitless stats mod (one time i got 90.000+ exp from on trade i done and then i loaded my previus save game and i never used this feature again)

 

also i don't want to use mods that give 5k, 8k or even 50k libs weight limit, i want to spend toil to increase my weight limit. i'm lvl 57 and i have close to 700 lbs weight limit atm, i believe that these perks will help me reach even higher weight limit without having the feeling that i'm cheating

 

about the second perk. you said that is worth to take the perk in early levels. well, this perk will not only increase the weight limit by 0.5 libs per lvl but will give immediately the bonus libs (0.5* lvls) of the lvl you are. so if you get it in lvl 50, you get 25 libs and you keep getting 0.5 libs in every new lvl you get. i believe that my maths are good, the first perk is just to give one small bonus to your weight limit, the most important are the next two perks that increase the weight limit while you getting stronger and combined with the Carry Weight Doctor, the third perk can give a nice bonus to our weight limit

Ok, I'll write the mod. Do you have any suggestions about perks names and description? Better write perks description by yourself because my English is really bad.

well, here's the three perks:

 

 

 

1) title: Hercules Strength

Ranks: 1

Requirements: Level 40, strength 8, Endurance 8, Burden to bear (perk)

Description: You are strong as Hercules!! With this perk you can carry 60 more pounds of equipments

Effect: Increase the weight limit by 60 libs

 

 

 

2) title: Carrying my life

Ranks: 3

Requirements: Level 50

Description: You are an experienced traveler and as more experience you acquire, as stronger you become. With this perk you gain half pound in your carry limit for each level you have and for each futural level you get. (Second and third ranks of this perk add an additional half pound per rank)

Effect: Increase your weight limit by 0.5 pounds for each character's level and for each futural level the character gets. In rank 2 you gain 1 pound and in rank 3 you gain 1.5 pounds for each character's level (and for any futural level the character gets)

 

 

3) title: Packing Expertizer

Ranks: 3

Requirements: Hercules Strength and Carrying my life (rank 3) (perks)

Description: Every item you carry increase your experience on how to pack them better. With this perk, your weight limit increases by 5%/10%/15% (on 1st/2nd/3rd rank) of the weight you carry (weight limit increases or decreases every time the burden you carry changes)

Effect: Increases the weight limit by 5% for each rank of the current weight you carry

 

 

 

i want to do one example for the third perk to be sure that you understood it clearly. let's say that my carry limit is 500 libs and i carry items exactly 500 libs, then i get lvl up and i get the packing expertizer perk. as long the weight i carry is 500 libs, the perk will give me 5% * 500 libs = 25 libs bonus and my weight limit will be 525 libs atm. later i go to a trader and sell to him items that weight 100 libs, so, now i carry 400 libs, the new bonus i get from the perk now is 5% * 400 libs = 20 libs. so my new weight limit will be 520 libs now. i'm not sure if it's easy or hard to make this perk since the bonus that gives in weight limit changes every time the burden changes too, but this is the perk i want.

 

i hope you can do these..

 

thanks for the help, stelios..

So if I got it right the third perk increases player's maximum carry weight by fracture of current weight they carry?

Like:

 

CarryWeight(with Packing Expertizer) = CarryWeight + InventoryWeight * 0.05 * PerkRank

 

am I right?

Not sure about second and third perks.
IIRC CarryWeight is integer but your perks uses rational number modifiers. In second perk my guess is that game just truncate modifier(0 instead of 0.5 and 1 instead of 1.5) and first and third rank bonus will not work. I can try to write perk so it will give you bonus 1/2/3 lib(s) every two level if my guess is right.
With third perk... well, if you carry less than 100 lbs there will be no bonus for you because everything below 1.00 is zero for game.

But I may be wrong I'm new with GECK but don't worry it will be fine :laugh:.

Anyway it's doable but I got a busy week so expect it on the next week or so.

[ntelinatsos]

you are correct about the third perk.

 

well, i don't know what numbers the game accepts, so if it accepts only integer numbers, you can give the solution you described

[Armok74]

Sorry dude I don't think I'll make this mod. Got problems IRL ask someone else.

[ntelinatsos]

maybe i should make them myself, do you know which program and any link with infos on how to make them?
