Description
Adds throwable automatic hacking tools to the game. Inspired by the Automatic Unlocking Device from Deus Ex, the idea is to provide non-science focused characters a way to access the occasional terminal rather then being completely unable to ever unlock them, think of it as the computer equivalent of shooting the lock off a door.
Rare, expensive and disposable, they act much like a single-use throwing knife, simply throw the device into a terminal to override its security systems and unlock it. It will always unlock any terminal up to average difficultly but there's a chance it will fail with hard and very hard encryption and it can't grant you access to systems that require a specific password. They can be used to damage robots as well.
They're available to purchase from Mick & Ralph's in Freeside, Mister Holdout on the Strip (your best bet to get more then a few at a time), the Brotherhood of Steel in Hidden Valley and occasionally from Old Lady Gibson at her scrap yard near Novac. You can also find them very rarely inside toolboxes and you can craft and break them down with an above average Science skill at a workbench.
FAQs:
Someone: Is this compatible with X?
Me: In order to preserve user choice and not potentially damage your saves if you decide to uninstall the mod, the levelled lists have been done manually rather then with a script. You may need to use FNVEdit or the GECK fix conflicts with mods that directly touch the same vender containers and levelled lists that this mod does. Trust me, learning a bit of Edit rather then relying on mod authors to fix user-end problems for you is the best way to go.
Someone: The model/textures suck!
Me: Its just the vanilla Cattle Prod scaled down and turned into a throwing weapon, I figured it looked vaguely right for a thing you jam into a terminal to do bad things to it, if you want to provide a more suitable model I'd be happy to use that instead.
Installation:
This mod requires NVSE
Installs like any other mod, manually or using a mod manager, I recommend the later for easy uninstallation.
Uninstallation:
Installation in reverse.
Credits & Thanks
Xilandro for making it actually work, with magic.
Hitman47101 for everything else I guess.
