About this mod

It really should have been silent in the first place...

What It Currently Does

This mod has several options to suppress the NPC-heard sound-levels of the laser gun, laser musket and plasma gun.  They can be lowered to the sound of a suppressed 10mm or suppressed rifle.


Why It Does What It Does

To be perfectly honest, I think the fact that the laser guns make a sound is a little dumb, let alone a loud sound.  However, removing the sound altogether might be a little cheaty.  Although the main reason I haven't done it, or at least lowered the sound more, is because I can't be sure what the other sound level values do.  I'll play around with them, but we might have to wait until the dev kit comes out.


What It Will Eventually Do

  • Have a FOMOD installer
  • Have optional ESPs via installer that will grant the same changes to other laser pistol / rifle modifications
  • Have optional ESPs via installer that will grant the same (or similar) changes to the plasma pistol / rifle
  • Have ESPs for different sound levels for each of the mods.  Each player should be able to choose which mods add sound suppression and to what degree each modification silences.  Modular-like :D
  • Have custom suppressor weapon mods instead of overwriting new ones.


What It Will Not Do

  • This mod will never replace the actual sound you hear from the game.  This is JUST stealth detection.
  • I will likely (but MAYBE) not change the sound level from the laser guns themselves.  I will keep to the weapon attachments.
  • I will not be modifying any other values for energy weapons or the attachments.  I will not add different damage types, etc.  I believe in modular mods that can be combined by a player on their own terms.
  • I will probably not be adding suppression for any other weapons apart from energy guns in this mod.  I might make other mods, but, again, modular.


What It Will Conflict With

This mod will conflict with anything that modifies the Laser or Plasma Improved Sniper Barrel attachment.  If you want this one to "win" against larger mods, make sure this one is lower on the list of active mods.
That means that it will probably conflict with:
  • Better Weapon Mod Descriptions - I will probably change the things I modify so that they follow his standards, since I like what he does.  Put my esps below his to ensure your energy weapons are suppressed.



How Was It Made

This mod was made using FO4Edit.  A lot of thanks to ElminsterAU, Hlp, Zilav and Sharlikran.
Furthermore, if I am not too lazy this weekend, I will be making a video that details step-by-step how I made my changes as well as things learned.  Hopefully this will lead to more creative people making their own changes.
I have finished recording the video on my process, but it requires editing.  I'm not great at this, so it'll take me some time to get it up.  Not sure how insightful this video will be, but it's a start.
