About this mod

This mod attempts to provide something cool yet masochistic for those technically unable or emotionally unwilling to use Fallout 4's command console.
There are 3 more minor weird weapons to fool with (gun randomization, aerial invasion, and world eating), but they are not the main event.

[This mod attempts to provide something cool yet masochistic for those technically unable (e.g. XBOX) or emotionally unwilling to use Fallout 4's command console.]

Would we know "THE ULTIMATE WEAPON" if we encountered it?
Wouldn't we expect it to be just as creative as it was destructive -- a thinking man's killing machine?

Will it greet us as a mere doomsday device that wreaks irrevocable, insane, inane havoc?
Could this Alpha-Omega gizmo come in the form of the means to forge countless lesser weapons?
Or does this notion just REFer to the power of friendship?

This experimental, weirdest weapon mod centers on the theme of warping reality and Calling Things by their Proper Names, which is Wisdom, and the sublime inherited gift of polymorphism, which is the ability to commune through many names. Being aware of the proper designations ranks as Knowledge you need to acquire.

Principally, the mod adds a complex but powerful "weapon"/tool of evil alien import to the Cooke Residence in the Upper Stands in Diamond City.

SPAWNDO.COM - Melee to build a "Form F From Address Space" Marquee interface! Shoot to "spawn" objects.

You can use the bottom buttons on the front face of the marquee (or the letter display segments they connect with) to enter a 8-hexadecimal-"digit" Form ID used by the game.
When you shoot a target or activate the return arrow on the end of the marquee (designating the marquee as the temporary spawn target), something will happen.

What happens depends on the type of Form pointed to by the ID, and whether your character is crouched.

Examples:

If the form is an ObjectReference/RefID (0001A4D7), you can summon the object to you by using the marquee when standing, and create a refrigerator warp door to the object when crouching.
If the form is a thing (000BD56F) that can be placed in the world but isn't (not a reference), an instance of the object will spawn. (If you are outside, not sneaking, and it is possibly susceptible to gravity, it may be delivered to you by "airmail".)
If the form is a sound (0019ECE8), the sound will be played in 3D at the spawning point.
If the form is weather (000DB2A1), the ambient weather will be changed.
An invalid form should net you a buzzer noise. (Note: User placed items are generally assigned high-order form IDs, and the game doesn't cleanly retrieve those forms, e.g. with the MSB set, 0x80 and beyond.)

If the form is something that can be added to or done to a thing (hereafter the "Victim"), like an EffectShader, it will be added to the Victim if you are standing, and removed if crouched.
For example, you can set Nat on fire visually by storing her as the Victim (entering 00002f21 and pressing the PRID function button on the marquee's side), and entering the FireHazard effect ID (00231F8A).

Several other function buttons exist:
There's a button to (attempt to) find the closest reference (to the last spawn target) of the form on the display, or the closest NPC (crouched).
There's a button to toggle the existence of a reference, or the AI processing of a NPC (crouched).
There's a button to get rid of the marquee (crouched), or zero out the display segments (useful).

There are 3 more minor weapons to fool with, but they are not the main event:

Polymorphic Fireus - melee while crouched to drop this gun. A copy of it is placed on the ground. Pick up the copy. Equip it. Melee again (*WHILE STANDING, as many times as you like) to cycle through countless different weapon mod, ammo, and sound combinations. Copy the ones you like to the ground to use later. Note that most combos will be useless and/or suicidal.
Ad Terram! - Call a BoS airship which will attempt power armor insertion of heavy weapons shock troopers. This may not be such a healthy idea if you are enemies with the Brotherhood (see "friendship", above).
Ill-Logic B.O.M.B. - Save before using this one, because this is a entropy bomb that enduringly, sluggishly reorganizes the world around you. You can use it to LITERALLY figuratively "destroy" Diamond City, once and for all. Exercise extreme caution because statics are loaded in a way that requires quitting out of the game session.
