This is a replacer for Bird Killer - Get Exp and Items from Crows by El Ha/Zorkaz that reduces XP earned for killing birds, halves loot drop chance, and changes their Synth Component bird brain. Since this is a total replacer, you won't need the original mod anymore.
Changes
- The XP amount per kill was changed from 20 (20 is wayyyy too much per bird, lol), to 3.
- The loot drop chance from birds was halved. (Please, tell me if it's too much)
- Changed the Synth Bird death item from Synth Components, to Watcher Components.
They're worth 50% less than regular Synth Components.
Thought Synth Components would be too big to fit into a bird's head, so I made these. Wish I could make them more distinct from each other than just cap value, but idk how to reduce mesh size, so it'll have to do.
I've also included the uncompiled .Psc Source scripts that I converted from the original mod's compiled .Pex scripts using the Champollion tool.
If you want to tweak this mod's scripts, all you have to do is:
1) Download Notepad++, if you haven't already.
2) Open a Source file with Notepad++ from the mod folder: SCRIPTS/Source/User/BlahBlahBlah.psc.
3) Change whatever you wish, then click File -> Save (NOT SAVE AS. NEEDS TO HAVE THE SAME NAME!).
Then, to re-compile the scripts:
1) Open the Creation Kit.
2) Click FILE at the very top left of the screen to open the drop-down menu.
3) Click Data, and scroll down in the menu that pops up to find BirdKiller.esl.
4) Click on BirdKiller.esl, click Set as Active File, then click OK.
5) Wait until it loads.
6) After it loads, click on Gameplay at the top of the screen to open the drop-down menu.
7) Click on Papyrus Script Manager, then type the source file name into the search field like this: BlahBlahBlah.psc.
8) Right click on the file, then click Compile. A pop up box will tell you if you've made any errors in your tweaks.
9) Click FILE again, then click save.
Note: I can't help you with any errors you encounter while trying to compile. It's probably best to look up the error it gives you on google, that's how I've solved most of the script errors I've made before.
If all goes according to plan, then it should overwrite the .Pex files in the mod folder. After that, it should work!
Files
There are three files to choose from.
Just XP: Just reduces the XP earned per kill to 3, from 20.
XP and Loot: Reduces the XP per kill to 3 and halves the loot drop chance.
XP and Loot w/ Synth bird brain replacement: Does the same thing as the XP and Loot file, but also changes the Synth Component dropped from Watcher birds, to Watcher Components.
El Ha/Zorkaz for Bird Killer - Get Exp and Items from Crows
Instructions / Installation:
This is a total replacer, so you won't need the original mod anymore.
ONLY INSTALL ONE MAIN FILE!
Manual:
Place SCRIPTS folder and BirdKiller.esl into Fallout 4/Data. Click yes to overwrite original BirdKiller.esl, if you already have it installed.
With Manager:
Download and Install over Bird Killer - Get exp and items from Crows in MO2.
Choose Replace, or Merge. It doesn't really matter.
Don't worry about deleting BirdKiller - Main.BA2 from the original mod. The game always prioritizes loose files and scripts over BA2s in case of files with the same names.
As always, criticism is always welcome, and even encouraged! I hope you enjoy! :)
