About this mod
Pulowski Shelters now protect against radiation storms.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Although highly praised before the Great War, afterwards every child knows that Pulowski Shelters didn't help to survive a nuclear war...
...but they do help to survive a radiation storm!
Perhaps Pulowski Shelters will live up to their name after all, albeit on a smaller scale.
Personal
I've always found it a shame that Pulowski Shelters are pretty useless in Vanilla. So I changed that.
I thought, if they can't help with nuclear war, they can at least withstand a radiation storm.
Maybe through patented lead-based paint from Pulowski.
Such shelters are more immersive for me than vanilla.
For whom?
Maybe for Survival or Frost players (NEITHER of the two mods is a requirement) or players with high and deadly radiation settings (like me).
But also for everyone else who likes it that way.
Technical
I created an Pulowski Shelter interior cell for each usable (see below) shelter and linked them together.
No further requirements needed.
No additional scripts used.
Mod is cleaned.
How to
- activate the shelter and land in the interior cell
- there is a seat to wait
- after a while get up from the seat and activate the shelter (this time from inside) and be outside again
- only intact shelters (with default closed door) which are free standing (no flooded or half sunken) work.
- if there are several shelters in a group, only one of them will work
- they are now also good panic rooms when you in combat :)
Notes
- I have only worked on the shelters in the Commonwealth so far (the DLC shelters might come in an update when I have more time and if requested)
- I had to empty some shelters from enemies because of clipping and because they can't get out anyway.
- some shelters contain gimmicks in vanilla (some weapons, nothing quest related), you can't get them with the mod
- there is a slight clipping when sitting down and getting up from the seat
- you can slightly zoom out (then the cam is blocked by the shelter), but the mod should be used in 1st person perspective (there is not much room for 3rd person inside)
- companions have no access to the shelter (logically also for space reasons)
- because of the mentioned space reasons the mod is only meant for human sized characters. As a supermutant better hide in a missile silo. :)
I recommend better textures for the Pulowski Shelter, because you are standing very close inside and the vanilla textures then just look ugly. I use the Pulowski Preservation shelter 2287 edition by Pipboy900. Thx to him.
Bugs please post in the bugs section and suggestions (and comments of course) in the comments!
... I know the position of the seat is optically not the best but I was getting tired :P ... maybe fix in an update if requested
Compatibility
I've tested the mod with and without my other mods (342 Plugins) and found no issues with these.
Can be incompatible with mods which modify the same cells. Give my mod a higher load order and test.
Is definitely incompatible with mods that place quest relevant items in the shelters. Then decide which mod is more important to you, the quest or the shelters.
Have fun! and don't forget to endorse if you like it.
