Version 008
- General, as of version 008, the plugin is still in early development and many mechanics dont work as expected and or advertised, start a new game and test. Make sure to read the articles.

  - Removed most effects and resistances from armor and weapon mods this is needed to cut down the interaction of weapon-to-armor, damage-to-health, aim-to-hit to more manageable playground
Version 007
- Actors
  - Removed health boost from Citizen class and added removed health to human race instead
  - Swapped Gamma Gun with Radium Gun, almost all CoA actors now use the Radium Rifle over the Gamma Gun, the Gamma Gun instead can be found in Far Habor
  - Removed specific resistance from actors and instead moved resistance to equipment, armor, inherent race abilities, cleaned perks, spells, properties of most actors for this - NOTE: This will unify and specify actors, race and class much more differently when done

  - Removed Border restriction on all world maps
  - Unified weather across all world maps, vanilla and DLC - NOTE: This is slightly experimental and requires some more testing. Please report any problems.
  - Removed Vault specific BoS uniform overrides

  - Fixed lower mine trigger time, its now lower but will not explode instantly
  - Moved most XP changes to TSV
  - Restored SPECIAL points change
  - Removed Dogmeat counts as a real Companion
- Set Cell Respawn time to 48 hours - NOTE: Why? Because vendors do respawn after 2 days, 48 hours too by default and to lower save game bloat.
Version 002
- Fixed VATS menu oversight, VATS was not able to use at all (Special thanks to timeline67)
Version 001
- Initial Release
- Actors / NPCs / Race / Body Part Data
  - DisableTunnelingKeyword [KYWD:0022FC80] was added to Bloodworm, Molerat, Radscorpion races
  - Lowered Bleedout Default for companions to 0.01 was 0.15
  - Replaced Impact DataSet BloodSprayImpactSetClear [IPDS:0007D6AB] by BloodSprayImpactSetPus [IPDS:0007D6AE] or BloodLimbPusSmallImpactSet [IPDS:000C32CD] since SetClear is bugged with Weather lighting effect and certain insects still use Pus with some leftover SetClear blood impact, Rad Scoprions for example use Pus in Race and Clear in Body Part data for whatever reason ...
  - Removed "Can Use Crippled Limbs" for human and super human actors and altered limb condition regeneration – NOTE: This will affect PC and NPC and will disable the feature to use a firearm once arms have been crippled, just like actors could not run once legs have been crippled before.
  - Recuded Rust Devil chance to 10% in both DLC01REPercentChance [GLOB:0100AF69] and DLC01WorkshopRobotAttackChance [GLOB:0100FD12]
  - iHoursToClearCorpses [GMST:FE009800] was set to 6 (was 24 by default) to minimize save game bloat – NOTE: 6 hours is more or less the time PC needs to sleep so it should fit perfectly.
- Animation / Idle Animation
  - Set fDeathForceDamage/Force/Spell Min/Max/Impact to much lower values to simulate better ragdoll physics
  - Swapped "DeathAnimation" with "Ragdoll" for any ragdoll death reference – NOTE: If you use ragdoll physics mods you must either patch or remove these mods to see a difference
  - Added Knock Down to some explosives, especially missing entries for nukes
- Armor / Clothing / Outfit / Armor Addon / Object Modification
  - Removed UnscrappableObject [KYWD:001CC46A] for any power armor piece and created appropiate scrap recipes for workshop mode
  - Power Armor Jetpack Effect no longer drains Action Points – NOTE: The initial thrust was lowered to simulate a gravitational impact. My initial idea was to higher PA Battery damage rate but it conflicts with the engine itself. Instead the game settings were altered.
- Crafting
  - Removed misc item and added raw components instead for; co_chem_GrenadeBaseball [COBJ:00245F1D], co_poison_Berserk [COBJ:000628CE], co_poison_MindCloud [COBJ:000628D4], co_poison_YellowBelly [COBJ:000628E3], co_chem_DLC03ModifiedBowlingBall [COBJ:03031708]
- Display / User Interface / UI / HUD
  - Close to death, sleep interrupted messages have been compact and do not appear in the middle of the screen anymore
  - Removed fIronSightsDOF – NOTE: That is a feature of the human eye, there is no need to have it applied in a game aswell...
  - Removed blur and color change from VATS
  - Almost instant terminal display rate from 60 to 6000
  - Reduced time to target select in VATS to a minimum
  - Added FO3 VATS time freeze feature back in – NOTE: At total freeze is impossible the engine will still cause the game to run, which one can hear by the sounds appearing slowed down, rather than disappearing entirely.
  - Set white image space adapter to CGNuke##, DLC01RoboBrainShadowImod, DLC03SubBaseExtNukeImod, DLC03_HermitCrabAOEImod, DLC04ExplosionNuka##, DLC04Gauntlet_GasHazardImod, DLC04MisterImodHit, DLC04PackScentGrenadeImageSpace, DLC05ExplosionWeather##, DLC06BlurImod, DN102_DruggedWaterImod, DN102_GasHazardImod, Explosion##, FireHazardImod, HC_IMOD_SleepEffect_Incapacitated, LowHealthImod, SlowTime##, TimeFreezeImod, VANSImod
- Game Setting
  - Set fEnergyMinDamageReduction [GMST:0006461D] to 0.01
  - Set fFireMinDamageReduction [GMST:0006461C] to 0.01
  - Set fFrostMinDamageReduction [GMST:00064620] to 0.01
  - Set fPhysicalMinDamageReduction [GMST:00066DC7] to 0.01
  - Set fLimbMaxDamageReduction [GMST:0006D5A1] to 0.99
- Gore
  - Increased Dismember and Explode default chance to be 95 and removed dismember and explode effects from weapons which should not grant this feature.
- Effects / Lights
  - Reduced smoke signature for laser impact to "Effects\MPSSmokeGunSmokeSmall.nif"
  - Fixed FatManExplosion [EXPL:001A7FF2] explosion force
  - Fixed FatManExplosionMIRVchild [EXPL:00246741] explosion force to be /5 of FatManExplosion
  - Fixed GaussImpactExplosion [EXPL:0022E05D] impact data set and spawn entires, for whatever reason gauss projectiles spawned 15 of whatever projectiles
- Magic Effect / Object Effect / Spell / Perk
  - Fixed Lone Wanderer perk and added PlayerHasActiveDogmeatCompanion [GLOB:00145868] condition and set to "Equal To 0" – NOTE: This will prevent the Lone Wanderer to work while Dogmeat is an active companion. This will first work when dismissing Dogmeat and drop one item, from inventory. The game then will reset the weight in Pip-Boy.
  Misc Items / Junk / Loot
  - Added Brain to Robobrain leveled list
  - Set Auto Calc Value to be equal to Misc Scrap Item Value – NOTE: Example, c_Acid "Acid" [CMPO:0001FA8C] Auto Calc Value is 10, c_Acid_scrap "Acid" [MISC:001BF72D] value is 2, Auto Calc Value is now 2
  - Added Angler Gunk [MISC:030540FE] to leveled list
  - Removed junk and caps from creature loot and added perk requirements to some of the junk loot instead – NOTE: Some vanilla creatures do not have caps and junk as loot part of their drop list, some have, thus im confused and henceforth, almost none creature has any junk or bottlecaps on them anymore.
  - Added/restored "Bloatfly Larva" which can be looted from Bloatflies
  - Set DefaultDisableRefOnLoadOrReset to [REFR:03049C31] (places DefaultAshPile1 "Ash Pile" [ACTI:0000001B]
  - DefaultDisableRefOnLoadOrReset was added to Ash Piles, Brahmin Corpse,
  - Removed "Quest Object" flag to allow PC to actually drop quest items, this will also cover the CC/NG content – NOTE: Quest specific items might be droppable first when starting a new game, please report.
  - Disabled FeaturedItem_DO [DFOB:001B3FAD] – NOTE: Any referenced record was fixed too and the keyword removed, magazines should still work fine, and pop-up the front cover when first time loot.
- Name / Description / Capitalization / Typo / Grammar
  - Fixed "Artillery Smoke Grenade" [WEAP:0012E2CA] to "Artillery Smoke Flare"
  - Fixed "Vertibird Signal Grenade" [WEAP:00056917] to "Vertibird Signal Flare"
  - Renamed .44 to "Revolver" and fixed Load Screen Weapons27Pistols [LSCR:00203053] the changes will also cover the object modification naming – NOTE: The Disciple Revolver is not called .44 which i find more fitting, thus any .44 was renamed Reolver. Mid-game changes appear once the weapon was dropped from inventory.
  - Renamed 10mm to "Combat Pistol" and fixed Load Screen Weapons1610mm [LSCR:001F6DBD], Weapons27Pistols [LSCR:00203053] the changes will also cover the object modification naming – NOTE: Mid-game changes appear once the weapon was dropped from inventory.
  - Swapped "cannot" or "can not" by "can't", "You" by "I", "Your" by "My", etc. – NOTE: This does not cover the main menu description boxes.

  - Removed CanUnarmedBlockKeyword [KYWD:00230326] for Knuckles [WEAP:0005524B], BoxingGlove [WEAP:0016498F], UnarmedHuman [WEAP:000C2C27], UnarmedSuperMutant [WEAP:000EB340]
  - Set action point cost for Knuckles [WEAP:0005524B] equal to UnarmedHuman [WEAP:000C2C27]

This file is meant to tweak Fallout 4 into a more post nuclear tactical combat mod.

Overview

This mod is inspired by Fallout Tactics and is meant to mutate Fallout 4 into a tactical combat mod.

Furthermore, this mod combines the work in Fixer, Dark[Commonwealth], Biome and many other mods i work on the past years. It is my personal impression on how to play Fallout in 3D space with less Legoworld environment. Therefore i have altered the visuals and overall appearances of many objects and effects. To make the Wasteland feel more deadly and overall an empty and ugly place.

All what is available in Fallout 4 in terms of data, such as meshes, materials, sounds, etc. is recycled. And the overall focus lies to keep the ba2 archive as small as possible by relying more on ESP/ESM editor level.

To keep track of all the changes read the changelog and articles:

- Gameplay
- Mod Compatibility

Many of the ingame Loading Screen are also used to explain some of the changes.

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to use the post section.

Thanks and have fun!

In-/Unstallation

This mod should be installed with a new game any further updates if not told otherwise mid-game. It is not recommended to uninstall mid-game.

The plugin is not ESM and or ESL-flagged, and it is not recommended to do so.

This mod does not affect precombined meshes or PreVis data.

Compatibility

This mod works with the Old- and Next-Gen. OG version but requires a .ba2 downgrader to work fully. For third party mods ask the author of the mod of interest.

▲ Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch - UFO4P by Arthmoor is fully patched and must be loaded before
▲ Fixer by me is fully patched and must be loaded before
