Balls! Baseballs! Get Your Baseballs Here!

Radlings, the maker of fine baseballs, brings you 120 commemorative baseballs to collect. Some balls are more valuable than others. Some can't be scrapped, or used as Junk-Jet ammo, while others can. Dogmeat can find some of them for you too, he likes balls as well as teddy-bears.

• 7 S.P.E.C.I.A.L Balls
• 73 Perk Balls
• 10 Unique Abraxo Home Run Derby Balls
• 10 Unique Sugar Bombs Home Run Derby Balls
• 10 Unique Vault-Tec Home Run Derby Balls
• 5 Unique Vim Home Run Derby Balls (requires Far Harbor)
• 5 Unique Nuka-Cola Home Run Derby Balls (requires Nuka World)
  

Collect the unique balls to gain ranks in new perks. All balls are randomly spawned across the Commonwealth using leveled lists so who knows where you'll find them, or if you'll even find all of them!  You also get a bonus settings holotape, courtesy of RobCo, to adjust the overall ball spawn chance, as well as being able to completely disable/enable them.
Files
Main Files
Just install and use. The unique balls will be shown in the 'Misc' section on your pip-boy. The rest will be under 'Junk'.

Optional Files
The two DLC add-ons are in separate files, for now, just install after the main file. 

Miscellaneous FIles

WARNING - HIGH LEVELS OF SCIENCE! REQUIRED - WARNING

I use Valdacil's Item Sorting, DEF_UI and Updated ICONSLIB2 for DEF_UI so have a tagged up version that works with these. It uses custom tags though, so you can use it at your own risk, as it could be easily nerfed by changes to the lyrConfig.xml and the DEF_INV_TAGS.xml files from other mods. I might make a tagged up version using default tags. The download is in the 'Misc' section of files - download and install this file, INSTEAD OF THE MAIN FILE, with NMM.
Installation
Use Nexus Mod Manager, or download manually and copy the files into data your folder. If in doubt, consult your Vault Overseer for guidance on mod installation. Or you could just look here on the wiki.
Future Plans

• Installer
• Display Case(s)
• Custom perk animations
• Custom Mesh and better textures
  

Development Notes
As mentioned, I've created leveled lists to add all the balls to the game world. Rather than messing around with the default lists/cells I've scripted their addition to a whole load of container lists. I've also added the perk balls to the lootItemsUnique form list via the script. Hopefully this works as intended!

The default models and textures for the baseballs aren't that great, so there's some issues with join seams in all the textures (which are actually there in the vanilla versions too). I've tried to fix it, and even tried to go to a 100% custom model, but don't have enough NIF Fu at the moment - is there a NIF Guru out there willing to help?

A Note on Grenades
One of the things I originally wanted to do was make the non-unique balls convertible into baseball grenades but couldn't figure out a way to do this. At least a way that didn't involve having 80 recipes in the workbench! So, no conversion to grenades until I can figure out a way to do this.
Compatibility
Main file and DLC add-ons should be compatible with all other mods.

VIS & DEF_UI version might loose their icons and grouping if another mod changes the lyrConfig.xml and the DEF_INV_TAGS.xml files. If this happens you can manually edit the XML (if you have enough Science!) or let me know and I'll try and create a patch for it.
