This mod unifies weapon damage and rebalance it, based on the type of ammunition. Furthermore allows you to convert most of vanilla weapon to another ammo caliber, in particular PIPE weapons, and makes them stop being weapons, only for the early stage of the game. This mod also changes the damage of melee weapons and unarmed attacks, companions weapon damage.

This mod focuses on the DAMAGE (at least for now), does not change any animations (not my specialty), also modifies the recoil, reload speed, value, weight, and cost in AP of using the weapon in VATS depending on the ammo caliber, but quite subtly, and mostly only in receivers.

I would like to point out, English is not my first language, it's not even the second one, so please be tolerant.
This mod was created primarily for private use, matches my style of play, and as the only tester it is difficult to catch irregularities in it. Changes or creates over 1500 records, that's why there may be bugs, because in the game I do not use every possible weapon or modification. Of course, I tried to check every weapon, but I'm just a human.
If anyone has any specific suggestions including explaining why, and not only because, I will listen to you with joy.
This is my first mod, a few days ago I didn't even know how the mod look from the inside, so do not be too rough�


# It all started with the questions:
# Why the pipe weapon is so weak, if they shoots the same ammo as the rest of the weapons.
# And why is there such a big difference between weapons of the same type using the same caliber of ammo, aside from modifications.

# I'm not a fanboy of pipe weapons, but of all vanilla weapons, I like them the most.
# Not to mention the weapons from mods, balanced on the basis of I do not know what, and what rules.
# I understand the reason for the difference in range, rate of fire or ammo availability, but damage, when using the same ammo?!!

# Yes I know every weapon uses the potential of a given ammo somewhat differently, but this is a game, a most part of the real world rules is simplified and standardized so that the game mechanics could work properly. The real range of damage also changes, becomes artificial, suited to the game.



# I'm not an expert when it comes to weapons. I know how it looks, I know the basics of working, some physics related to this topic and the chemical basis of the reaction. I had a few pieces in my hands and shot some of them. And I know it's a game, so the rules are a bit different.

# I understand that the amount of damage at some weapons may arouse controversy, but personally annoys me the situation in which I have to use the entire ammo magazine to get rid of the usual raider armed with a pipgun, and he can't even scratch me.
# When I shoot an opponent in the head with a .50 sniper rifle, I want to see like his life bar drop dawn, not just twitch. I want to feel a challenge with strong opponents, and not to deal a lot of time with flies without end, and waste time and ammo unnecessarily on them.



What this mod do:

# It changes the basic damage of firearms, lasers weapon, launchers, grenades, mines, melee weapons and unarmed attack, as well as adjusts the damage of Companion weapons.
# Allows you to change the type of ammo in most firearm weapons, and som laser weapons.
# Weapons with different caliber should appear on opponents. At least in those who are assigned to a randomly generated weapon.
# It fixes a bug with the Institute Laser Weapon (bug for me), where the basic weapon deals reduced damage, now only the auto conversion reduces damage.
# Change weapon name from 44 to Revolver


# Ok, then what doesn't work?!!.

# Automatic naming when it comes to caliber weapons, doesn't work. The caliber is not added to the name.
# # When you use AWKCR and Sorting Mod like Vis-G or Valdacil's Item Sorting, and you place my mod below them in load order, the caliber of weapon is added to name, in most cases.
# # If you put it before the sorting mod, adding the caliber doesn`t work correctly, and the damage becomes inadequate.
# # In Vanilla version this will work maybe in the future, when I create a separate instance naming rule, but maybe next time.

# There is a problem with legendary effects, unfortunately, the effects of additional damage given by some of them, are counted from the base weapon damage, and not from the current modification of the weapon.
# # For example, a pipegun that has a legendary effect Two shot, will always receive a extra 18 damage regardless of conversion. A 44 (revolver) always receive a extra 52 damage, even if it will be converted to .38 ammo caliber with the damage base 20. Such game engine mechanics. I do not know if there is a simple way to deal with it, I'm too green in these issues.



# But, to the point:

# So, based on the game mechanics, I put together a set of basic principles which I (maybe we) should use, more than less, determining weapon damage, based on ammo type.

# I virtually splits ballistic ammo into two types: Guns ammo, and Rifle ammo.
# # For example we have in the game .45 ammo which is the same for each weapon with this caliber, which causes the same base damage value (in theory) for each weapon, regardless of type.
# # With my virtual assumption .45 ammo for guns is .45ACP (or similar), and for rifles is 45 Long Colt (or similar). One caliber two sets of base damage.

# Of course, we can add into the game the next ammo caliber, this makes sense, of course, with a completely new and completely unlike the already existing in the game. But when the ammo has very similar parameters (weapon damage), we only do it for the displayed name in fact. It's a pity to mix up so much because of this. If it is important to someone, he should do it, but not for me�
