This Mod works as reliably as people read the readme and customize their settings. If you do that it works, if you don't you say things like it doesn't show up. Good stuff thanks for the upload. TTW setup with almost 200 plugins some even editing when my hud is visible not a single issue.
Amazing mod. One more variable to balance the ranged playstyle. Always liked the way it was done in Synthetik, forcing you to switch from weapon to weapon due to overheat, even if one of the weapons is clearly better and has enough ammo. Now I can experience the same in Fallout. Being unable to continously shoot high damage, super accurate guns as I please sure changed a lot of combat situations, especially early on when I had like 1 good gun.
Had to mess with "Attack Shots/Sec" stat on most weapons via FNVEdit to actually make them overheat in a reasonable manner though. Difficult to balance guns via MCM settings because they're too general/apply to too many weapons.
Also, I don't know if its just me, but sometimes, when weapons overheat I can shoot them without reloading, because I guess the jam animation somehow overwrites the reloading one. Might be a kNVSE-related thing though.
i don't know why, but the options to edit the heat gauge do not appear. The MCM menu shows everything in the JIP RWO section, except for the heat gauge settings. The command list also says that the files for that are not found, but I can edit everything else. I installed the mod using vortex, and the settings for selective fire all work. Does anyone else have this problem?
@Matagubonchi & @Drehvik I had experienced the same problem, moreover, the Heat Gauge never appeared in my game no matter how long I shoot. Then I noticed that the mod's heatmeterHUD.xml file is not appropriately added to the HudMainMenu.xml through the default Data\uio\supported.txt file of UIO. As you can see its line 31
jazzisparis\heatmeterhud.xml:hudmainmenu
misses the following line
true
as it is supposed to be. So I've created Data\uio\public\JIP RWO.txt containing just these two lines:
jazzisparis\heatmeterHUD.xml::HUDMainMenu true
and saved it there. When I loaded the game I was finally able to see the Heat Gauge settings in JIP RWO's MCM entry (although I needed to scroll it down to see it at last) and the Heat Gauge finally started to appear in the HUD when I was "firing the holes".
@jazzisparis I know that you are very busy developing JIP LN NVSE etc and most likely don't check the comments for your other mods, but it must be said that it would be nice if you add to the mod additional supplementary buttons for the positioning of the Heat Gauge in the HUD for those (like me), who play FNV using a laptop and lack the Num buttons. As for now only the arrow keys for x-y positioning are available to me. At least a supplementary button for the Heat Gauge rotation would be great. Thanks in advance!
Been using this mod for a bit, and while it is incredibly well-done and accommodates for certain mod weapons, there's a few times when the mod would identify a weapon as incompatible with the function - such as the G36K from the Weapons of a New Millennia or henukelkock's MG42 mod. I've been wondering if there's a way to fix the cases when the mod cannot be applied to mod weapons like the aforementioned weapons?
It would be fun to see what would happen if I were to just spend an entire box of ammo on the MG42, really.

@everybody who is interested
I recommend to try Thin HUD - JIP Realistic Weapon Overheating (created by aogara), which makes the Heat Gauge thinner.
