This Gun is insane. So accurate, so powerful, so stealthy. I love it! However the frequent reloading annoys me, you wrote that having a small battery capacity makes for tense/ exciting combat because you're punished for missing (which I think is brilliant btw), but the reload animation is too quick to make a difference. Maybe make it 50% slower and giving it 4 shots instead of 3. Perhaps it's possible to add buyable weapon mods to fully actualize this beast. Is it possible to completely remove the recoil, like the ratslayer? Perhaps give it a snappy sound, like a muffled version of the recharger rifle/ pistol.
I like to think that I'm following in Father Elijah's footsteps looking to improve upon technology xD.
Yeah. I had to fix a bug. Tape 2 was in Hayes tent. I put it in his tool box and didn't realize the game put that tape in ALL the tool boxes everywhere. Probably a noob mistake, but the file was fixed. You should be able to extract just the .esp and replace the one you've got now to fix it. Tape two (Next to the toolbox in Hayes tent now) should take you to the wrecked plane in Ivanpah close to the mouth of the Mojave Outpost. He doesn't make the outpost, so that was his second choice. Tape 3 is there. (Spoiler. Ed doesn't make the Mojave Drive in either so tape 3 is the last one, but you should be able to figure out what happened if you take a strait shot from the plane about half way to the Mojave drive in after reading it.)
I cant find the rifle at all and im really good at reading and following instructions but its not where its meant to be I lithely whent back and fourth beatwean the plane and drive in four 2 HOURS PLEASE HELP
I am having the same issue. I looked all over that drive in and the lake area, but I couldn't find it. More detailed directions might be in order or maybe a youtube vid with a walkthrough would help.
I did as you suggested, and searched a wide area between the drive-in and the plane, but all I encountered was a large group of bugs. No body, no containers, not even a bloodstain or bone to signify someone died there. Further assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks! I really hope you have some fun with it! By the By... Which others are you using? Always looking to try new and innovative ways to relieve people from the added weight of their heads.
It's not too difficult to change a sound pack in the GECK. Absolutely feel free to fiddle with it! ... and thanks for trying it out. It was a learning experience as well as a lot of fun to make!
Very glad you like it! I knew I wanted to give the weapon a flower name because of the "bloom" effect it uses to deliver damage. I almost went with a Hibiscus, but then thought "Who the hell would name a gun that?!". When I considered the name "Lily' however, the "Fleur-de-lis" came up right away and there was NO way to pass on that. lol! Making it was a learning experience for sure. Have fun!
I like this concept, due to it being an energy sniper rifle that isn't the Gauss. The only reason I haven't grabbed this yet is that the Infrared just wouldn't work as a weapon. Ultraviolet on the other hand would do the trick nicely.
It's a matter of energy wavelength. We use infrared on a daily basis. It turns on our televisions, radio/stereo systems, garage doors, etc. Remote controls use infrared to send a signal to the accompanying electronic device. Being closer to a microwave the relative harm to humans is minimal at best.
On the farther side of the visible light spectrum you will find UV (ultraviolet). Being that lasers themselves are concentrated visible light, it isn't such a stretch to take the higher wavelength (shorter/more energetic, I mean) and amplify that into a still invisible to the naked eye, damaging beam.
I mean nothing harmful by this post, I am simply making a case for the suggestion that it should instead be a UV Laser sniper rifle.
Via Wikipedia: "Pulsed Energy Projectile or PEP is a technology of non-lethal weaponry currently under development by the U.S. military. It involves the emission of an invisible laser pulse which, upon contact with the target, ablates the surface and creates a small amount of exploding plasma. This produces a pressure wave that stuns the target and knocks them off their feet, and electromagnetic radiation that affects nerve cells causing a painful sensation. The technology can also be used as a lethal weapon, and indeed an early name was Pulsed Impulsive Kill Laser (PIKL). The system was developed by Mission Research Corporation (now owned by Alliant Techsystems). It uses a chemical deuterium fluoride laser device producing infrared laser pulses. The plasma (produced by the early part of the pulse) explodes because its electrons absorb the energy of the later part of the pulse."
I just took this concept to the future by assuming an extremely high power source and phased arrays instead of a chemical laser. It is science fiction, so I'm not sure this will ever be possible, but I think the science is plausible.
Just to be clear I'm not saying its wrong, I'm suggesting a stronger beam than infrared that would make a kill shot.

Direct UV-emitting laser diodes are available at 375 nm.[24] UV diode lasers have been demonstrated using Ce:LiSAF crystals (cerium doped with lithium strontium aluminum fluoride), a process developed in the 1990s at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.[25]
Hmmm... I was thinking that the reason that UV wasn't used for PEP lasers was that the wave was too short. UV lasers ionize plasma in the atmosphere right out of the gate at high power, so they cause a blooming effect sooner instead of at the intended target location. I do think that the "Tesla Canon" in game theoretically uses a lower power UV laser to open an ionized path for the electricity. My theory on this, and I could be really wrong here (It wouldn't be the first time lol), is that PEP lasers use IR because the longer wave can penetrate longer distances without coming out of focus and do not cause a bloom effect until the struck target creates the ablation cloud, whereas a high powered UV wave starts to ionize plasma in the air right away and can cause ablation clouds from the atmosphere along it's path which I assume will bleed energy until the target is reached. Like I said, NO idea if this is the real reason, but that was where my head space was when translating it to the game. I am really curious about it now though. Do you know of any weaponized laser systems using the UV spectrum?
I tried to send a PM to you about what I looked up on this, but I think the message went through the nexus forums.. which I have to log into seperately.. That said I'm unsure if you saw it, but I will shorten it to this for the moment;
I can defend your use of IR lasers, based only on that it's easier to use them and they are more common. We should assume that most of the laser weapons are already using IR lasers (probably hence the red beam..even though they can be green as well such as with the AER14).
So scrapping any of my original idea, I left an idea for you to mull over about a mod you could add to the weapon.
I think you use the same account name here as there. It never told me I couldn't send the message and it's listed as a conversation to you still, or at least the same user name. Give it a go and try to log into it, let me know. I'd rather not paste a copy here as it got kinda long..
Oh, this should point you in the direction I was thinking though.
The project name was "Spring Flower" because of the superheated bloom effect. I named the gun "Lily" and was looking at something to put on the side. I found the fleur-de-lis (As you know, the symbol for a Lily) and thought "Oh man, there is no way I'm NOT doing that now!" I guess the reference wasn't that subtle after all. lol
Yeah, I dig the hell out of the Bozar mesh. I can't honestly say I would have gone that way had I known what a pain it would be to work with a "Unique" weapon class. I had never used the GECK or GIMP before and I popped my cherry on the Bozar instead of a nice 10mm pistol... a hell of a trial by fire for a noob.

see all those bugs near the crashed plane? whole mess of 'em, right? they all gotta be coming from somewhere...
Great mod
As a side note, I live in New Orleans, so the Fleur-de-lis is a very welcome addition.

Neat site about laser physics, lists articles you can review to see where the info comes from.
