CaliberX patch for PN. NVEC, FOOK and CFWNV: Anyone interested

[SMB92]

Hi all.

 

So I've been fiddling with FNVedit today and I've decided to make a standalone patch for CaliberX and the said mods, which would be great for anyone using them. It however does not require them!! It is a standalone patch and fully mergeable with Wrye Flash or FNVplugin.

 

The reason why I set out to do this is becasue CaliberX tends to stuff up the bashed patch when you have it selected in the bash menu by making all it's records override everything elses and either way requires manual patching. I have designed the patch to merged with Wrye Flash seamlessly to the bashed patch, cleaning all the conflicts between all the mods, but not actually require any of the mods. I will make a log of all the individual overrides but in short here's a few things done: Leveled lists corrected, ammunition names from CaliberX now get imported correctly without making a mess of the bash patch but NOT changing unique names given by NVEC, PN and FOOK (only a few of these edits apply anyway), ammunition models corrected to use CaliberX high quality models but NOT override any from NVEC, PN and FOOK, animations and muzzle flash effects to use CaliberX in most cases however some are left for NVEC, PN and FOOK where necessary, containers now have the loot merge properly into the bashed path, etc etc etc etc XD

 

So in short it's a patch designed to have at the bottom of your LO and merge to the patch seamlessly so you don't ever have to worry about conflicts with the said mods :). Works well for me but I have only 50% patched it so far.

 

Let me know if y'all think this is a good idea and if you'd be keen on it :)

I'd love a patch to implement CaliberX and FOOK together, as there doesn't really seem to be one elsewhere.

I'd like to see such a patch. While you are at it, could you make the CaliberX ammo names unique as well, but the same both in the inventory and in the recipes? It's a real pain to distinguish between rounds in recipes by the number of grains of lead or powder when crafting, but then have no idea which round it was without having to create a list to match it to the name in the inventory.

 

The .50 cal rounds in particular come to mind.

CaliberX is all scripted, to add calibers you activate them via script and it's seamless and needs no bashing if it's done how it was designed to be. The mod is using both lutana and jipnvse in addition to nvse so there is a full set of script commands to change everything for weapons and lists that should need to be.

 

Since it's a modders resource I left the ITM's for easy lookup of the leveled lists for modders, they are harmless and can be safely removed if you want.

 

The ammo records and recipes are altered for a reason and supercede any other mods. You can off course change them how you like, but it's not recommended for a variety of reasons. The prefixes on rounds are there for sorting purposes in the pipboy. The recipes were altered so they are equal in creation and breakdown, as well as use the ammo bench exclusively and require skills and perks which are related to their types.

 

For mods like CFW and PN you can disable their built in cartridges and recipes and use CaliberX's *if you want*, otherwise you can leave them alone. However CaliberX has more types for certain weapons like 2mmEC and the RPG. Merging lists results in duplicate rounds which cannot be broken down via recipe.

 

Keep in mind you can't change ammo lists themselves via script or you'll get a hang on the main menu if a weapon using them is hotkeyed.
