Handheld Geiger Counter

Add a handheld Geiger counter to the game so you can see how much radiation damage you take per second.

Frontend: Baka Framework

Handheld Geiger Counter Description

Adds a separate handheld Geiger counter that shows how much radiation damage you've taken in the last second. This mod also disables the original Geiger Counter sound and plays a copy when the counter is equipped (so any sound replacer mod will work and is actually recommended).

This means you can walk through radiation hazards without a counter, it won't make any noise, but if you're wondering about radiation you can find out.

I (Kewin568, the original author, the same below) have some ideas for expansion modules, but I don't intend to do so until the counter has more use cases. Currently, Bethesda has made it easy to spot radiation hazards without the tool, so it's only used for immersion. However, I'm looking for ways to make it more useful.

Require

The only hard requirement for this mod is the Baka framework.

However, the mod has some soft requirements, including:

FIS

Classic Radiation Poisoning

Not a great not terrible Geiger sound - just a preference

FallUI - or similar remove rad hud widget

Practical information

Two different types can be made at the Chemistry Station; hand-held or belt-mounted.

The tight strap simply allows you to passively hear the Geiger, takes up no slots, and doesn't change your appearance.

The counter lags 1s when taking readings.

Since this mod uses the same principle as Casio watches, it replaces textures every second, which can be laborious on some systems.
