About this mod

A collection of small mods that change the energy consumption of certain hardwares. I will try to add more over time.

Permissions and credits
This collection of mods includes changes to the following hardware:
 - Infrared
 - Sensaround (not included, but I will link to a mod that does)
 - Enviro-Pack
 - Turbo Boots
 - Jump Jets

I am hoping through this that others can piggy back off it and start making their own energy tweak mods. For the sensaround energy tweak I piggy backed off of maskedmurderer's Sensaround Energy Regen Mod. I do not feel comfortable uploading modified versions of that mod here because they added a unique block of codes and values that I just have no idea how to do the same, as I have no experience in coding/modding whatsoever. Everything else though I did change myself, so a lot of hardware is still on the table.
 
The only hardwares I was not able to change were the Head Lamp and Shield. the Head Lamp did have EnergyTickRate values in its file, but changing them seemed to do nothing, even though with Infrared it did change things in-game when I changed the value. For the shield it just did not seem to have energy drain data in its own file. I figured it was stored somewhere else and I could not find it.

As for another thing I would not know how to change myself, and seemed to require new code to be added, is changing the energy activation cost. maskedmurderer's Infinite Headlamp mod has a way they figured out to effectively revert the activation cost. So if you want to look into it please look at that mod as well.

This upload also serves as a cry for help on the shield... and headlamp. I would like to make a "Classic Energy Management" mod someday. With no energy toggle costs and the classic energy consumptions. The shield would also need to not drain extra energy when you get shot, but that's a whole other thing. I just do not have the knowledge to do everything required, so I figured I upload SOME little progress I made myself. Only made possible because I piggy backed off of others of course.

I will post various versions of each hardware listed using different energy consumptions overtime. I can make some use no energy (but the activation cost still remains) or I can make it use 2,000 JPM. So depending on what numbers I decide to put in, this will be a straight up cheat mod. Do not take it lightly. In all seriousness I hope some find this even a tad bit useful. I will post a lot of pictures showing what values to change in which files to effect what things in-game.

I used Asset Editor to unpack, repack, and edit the .pak files.

Unzip the .rar file, and place the .pak it contains into System Shock Remake\SystemShock\Content\Paks\mods. I believe "Mods" is not there by default. If not, please do create that folder.

Please do tell me if something doesn't work. As I am very new at this and have never modded anything besides a couple Payday 2 one-offs.
