About this mod

This is not the greatest and best gun in the game...

Permissions and credits
Reasons!!!:
Ever feel that Fallout 4 was sorely lacking aerial fireworks?

Ever want to celebrate your Fallout 4 accomplishments with a proper Tribute to them in firework form?

Hell, ever want to murder your worthless enemies with aerial fireworks?

I have taken the Alien Blaster and it's Ammo:  changed it, tweaked it, and made Aerial Fireworks from it!
 
I bring to you my 16th weapon related mod for Fallout 4 "Tribute"!

Video!!!:
FALLOUT 4 MODS - WEEK #19 by Tyrannicon

Tribute(Fireworks) is featured at 2:04 into this video, he uses all Low, Med, and High End.
(Also enjoy the cover art... ALL THE GIGGITY!!)


AMMO/Mod Info!!!:
This mod contains the customized version of an Alien Blaster (Tribute) along with separate Ammo (Artillery Shell).

***There are three different .esps for this mod, one for Low End PCs, one for Med End PCs, and one for High End PCs.  Each of these has a different amount of explosions associated with it, more details on this in the Disclaimer section.***

This weapon and its ammo come fully craftable in the game (at any Chem Station)!

Tribute comes standard with it's own mods I felt would help improve the performance, and look of this weapon.

These mods are:
Alien Blaster's Short Scope
Alien Blaster's Fusion Mag (Modified to not override the projectile)
Cryolator's Recoil Compensating Stock
Combat Shotgun's Light Ported and Shielded Short Barrel
Instigating Legendary Mod

Only the Fusion Mag has been modified by me to make sure the projectile didn't override.

Parody!!!:
That is right, I took the time to write my own Parody of the song "Tribute" by Tenacious D and relate it to this mod.  This is a means to entertain you and thoroughly embarrass myself.

It is called "Not the Best Parody in the World", it isn't a tribute to a Parody, just a lousy Parody lol.

Parodied from the great Tenacious D's song "Tribute" (the song is also great).

[Derpsdale Speaks]
This is the greatest and best gun in the game... Tribute.

Week or two ago me and my tester Flinks here,
We be thinkin' about some cool and awesome mods.
All of a sudden, there spawned a wicked Deathclaw... in the center... of the 'Wealth.
And it spoke!

[Sung Deathclaw Voice]
"Make the Best Gun in the game, or I'll moon your Mom."

[Derpsdale Speaks]
Then Flinks and I, well, we complained online...
But then I said... "Mmkay."

[Derpsdale Sings]
And I made the first gun that came to my head,
It just so happened to be,
The Best Gun in the Game, it was The Best Gun in the Game!
Look at the barrel, and it's easy to fire
Boom and Boom make Bang, Bang and Boom make Splat,
The fa-tal-i-ty!
Rarely every fifty Redbulls or so,
When the corpse doth rot and the Rads doth glow
And the crops don't grow...

[Derpsdale Speaks]
Pointless to say, the Claw was doomed.
Round-spent from this Majestic Gun,
And th' Claw was gone.
I asked me: "Be me deity?"
And I said, "Neigh. I am but horse!"

[Derpsdale Sings]
PWN!
Baaaaang, Baaaaang, Baaang-Blap-Blap,
Spla-a-a-at, murder-maim, feeeer-tiill-iiize!

This is not The Greatest Gun in the Game, nope!
This is simply a Tribute.
Couldn't recall The Greatest Gun in the Game, nope, nope.
This be a Tribute, Regards: The Greatest Gun in the Game,
Uh-Huh! It was The Greatest Gun in the Game,
Uh-Huh! It was the Prime madaflupin' Gun, the greatest Gun in the Game!

[Derpsdale Speaks]
And the obvious thing is this my chums:
The Gun I made on that magical night, it didn't look, sound, fire, or gank
anything similar to this Gun!

[Derpsdale Sings]
Tis a lowly Tribute! Please, you must trust me!
And if only you showed up! Not a point of assessment.
Aw, yeah! Great Gun, Bad Parody,
Very shocked to know I just wrote this.

[RandySavage]OHH YEEEAAAH![/RandySavage] [GeorgeTakei]OHHH MYYYY~~![/GeorgeTakei]

[Derpsdale Bows, While Everyone Boos, or Just Doesn't Care.]

THANK YOU!!  THANK YOU!!! 

[Derpsdale Bows Again]


Disclaimer!!!:
****I apologize if that Parody gave you cancer.****

***You can bring any of this weapon to any weapon bench in the game and mod it, but I highly recommend NOT doing this, as anything that overrides the projectile will make it not work right.***

*****If you fire this gun to close to the ground, you will get blown up, I know how to fix this, but if I do other worse problems will occur.  Even if you fire this 75 meters in front of you at the ground the explosions will be at your feet.  So aim high and try to "graze" the mobs you wish to kill with it, the explosions will do the rest, if your aim is good enough.*****

***When you craft this gun at the Chem Station, it will look like the Alien Blaster Model, but when you actually make from it will look much different.***

***This weapon primarily does explosive damage, and IS affected by the Demolition Expert Perk with each explosion it creates (which is A LOT).***

******IMPORTANT:  To make this gun fire like an aerial Firework would, it has MANY explosions in it all of which have been modified by myself to better represent a Firework.******

******Here is how they work read this before deciding which .esp file to download, and only have one active at a time.******

***Low End: Projectile1 -> Explosion1 -> ~5 Projectile2 -> ~5 Explosion2 -> ~6 Projectile3 -> ~6 Explosion3 -> ~6 Projectile4 -> ~6 Explosion4  Total: ~181 Explosions per shot fired

***Med End: Projectile1 -> Explosion1 -> ~11 Projectile2 -> ~11 Explosion2 -> ~8 Projectile3 -> ~8 Explosion3 -> ~9 Projectile4 -> ~9 Explosion4  Total: ~793 Explosions per shot fired

***High End:  Projectile1 -> Explosion1 -> ~27 Projectile2 -> ~27 Explosion2 -> ~10 Projectile3 -> ~10 Explosion3 -> ~9 Projectile4 -> ~9 Explosion4  Total: ~2430 Explosions per shot fired

**The Ammo is only craftable in stacks of 10 at a time.  The Gun is craftable 1 at a time.**

****You will need the Demolition Expert Rank 3 Perk to craft either the Gun or the Ammo.****


All of the Projectiles that this weapon uses are modeled after Sentry Bot Outdoor Shoulder Cluster Bombs, as they do a good job of lighting up creating a better Firework effect.

**Do not use these .esps at the same time, I am sure that it is doable, but to limit confusion, or Graphics card melting, I recommend that you only use one.**

**These projectiles DO know what gravity is, and I modified each one of them to better represent a proper Firework.**


*This is my 19th mod for Fallout 4.  I still do not know everything, so please go easy on me if I do not know how to fix or understand an issue that randomly comes up.*

*****As long as you do not use this mod for monetary gain, feel free to use this mod however you please, but give me credit, and I would appreciate a PM letting me know what you are tinkering with.*****

If you have any ideas for weapons or a mod of some sort don't be shy let me know, I prefer through PM, and I will get back to you and let you know how feasible it is through our current limitations of modding.

Installation/Acquisition!!!:
Need to cut this short as I am running out of room, click the Credits button for Credits and Thank Yous, and the ReadMe button for the full Description, and check out my other mods as well!

Tribute is a standalone weapon, and uses an .esp file.  This file will go into your Fallout4 -> Data folder.  If you have a desktop icon right click it and "Open File Location" then drop it into the Data folder.   Add the line without quotes "TributeMed.esp" OR "TributeLowEnd.esp" OR "TributeHighEnd.esp" under the Fallout4.esm in whichever load order you wish.

Read the Disclaimer for the differences between Low, Med and High End, it is important to avoid freezing, and graphics card melting.
