Without this mod, my strategy is to tap the turn lock button while slowly moving the pick from left to right. I note the angle of the pick when it starts to let me turn, then note again when it doesn't let me turn. Then, I put the pick in the middle of that window and succeed about 75% of the time, only needing minor adjustments the other times. Even hard locks are very fast with that method.
With your non-cheat version of the mod, all it does is make it so you can attempt to turn the lock in a very wide range of angles. This doesn't make it any easier to find the success angle. Instead, you waste time turning the lock a lot to find out if your attempt is successful or not.
Making the success window size almost the same as the turnable lock would make lockpicking easier without being a complete cheat. I would even bump up the size of the turnable window on the hardest locks. Below are the values I decided to use in my lockpickingminigame.scr
I misunderstood the values. Instead of having a 60 degree window to move the lock and 59 degrees inside that, the numbers above make it so you have 59 degrees to succeed and 60 degrees on either side of that window to move the lock. I have revised my values to be 15 degrees to move the lock for all difficulties around the same generous success windows.
You can open the pak file with 7-zip or what ever you like, extract the contents, modify the scr with a text editor (I like notepad++), save and repack into a zip and rename the extension to pak.
why making this even more easy? :D lock picking in games is not even close to be hard or complicated. but everything needs to be easy nowadays so ppl can rush thru their games :D
Works as intended Thank you. In my Opinion they should remove at least 80%* of the lockpicking 'scenarios' in the game. So this is very helpfull. Again thank you. *(It should probably be 90% haha) Love this mod

//a LockpickDifficulty(s, <-- difficulty identifier
You didn't change the correct variables.//b s, <-- localized description

//e f, <-- success angle - how much can one deviate from the required angle and still succed(per side)
//f f, <-- angle randomization range (per side)
//g f, <-- angle randomization - excluded part (per side)
//h f, <-- hold to fast-break time (seconds)
//i i, <-- lockpicks amount to fast-break
//j i, <-- cube level
//k i, <-- required lockpicking skill level
//l i) <-- required lockpick break skill level
//a SafeDifficulty(s, <-- difficulty identifier
//b s, <-- localized description
//c i, <-- combination lenght
//d i, <-- max number
//e i, <-- tolerance

whats the path to find lockpickingminigame.scr
thanks
many thanks love this mod
much appreciated
