Can you make a variant that removes almost all attachments so weapons can be a default version? Like all hunting rifles have the long barrel and stock and the only attachments are better scopes? basically like F3 and NV?
Just curious if you are planning to patch the rest of the Commonwealth weaponry by Dak. If not that's cool, I'll patch for my personal load order following the example of your patches.
Thanks for this mod, I was just thinking how superfluous True Damage made these receivers and it was irritating me to see them in the weapon bench.
I'm still pretty new to FO4 and modding but I've been attempting to turn it into a realistic shooter with attention to the lore of the game.
Everything in this pack seemed excellent until I saw the part where you said caliber conversion recievers will no longer alter damage.
Does this mean damage entirely, critical damage, or something I'm not getting? LIke I said I'm still pretty new to these mechanics.
When you convert a weapon from a smaller caliber to a larger caliber, the whole reason to do it is because of the damage. You often lose out on other aspects by doing so, but without the buff it's just a worse standard reciever.
I'd like to create a .308 battle rifle in game but if it's going to have worse recoil yet the same damage I'd just be shooting myself in the foot. Is there a way to modify the damage nerf to none (either in files or MCM/GCM) because otherwise your mod is just what I was looking for.
Appreciate the work you've done. Don't want this to sound like criticism because I don't know anything about making mods. Just seeking advice on how to fix it for myself potentially.
The reason I removed damage modifiers from caliber conversions (and magazines) is because this mod is intended to be used together with something like True Damage (Nexus) or Caliber Damage Overhaul (Synthesis Patcher). These mods will reduce the inherit damage of ballistic weapons by 90% and instead attach a certain amount of damage to each ammunition type.
That means if you modify your ballistic weapon from smaller caliber to a larger one it will in fact do more damage, because the damage is now tied to the ammunition, not the weapon or receiver itself (when using one of the two aforementioned mods). If I didn't remove the damage changes from caliber conversion receivers and magazines you would get double buff or double nerf from switching ammo type.
Thanks for asking the question. I will add in the mod description the links to these two mods as well to make it more clear for future users, and I highly recommend that you should get one of them.
Thank you for the detailed reply, that helps a lot. Currently I've been running a mixture of mods to get by but that sounds a lot simpler. I'll have to check it out.
It's just some random AI generated picture I made. Kinda looks like a bunch of guns, but doesn't make much sense and it's all messed up once you take a closer look. Just like most of FO4 weapons!
