describe
In Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics, laser weapons are visually referred to as "blaster"-style weapons. Like Star Wars "lasers," they're projectiles rather than beams. I personally prefer this visual style, so I've worked hard to add it to my current Fallout experiences, first with my NewVegas model and now with Fallout 4 using this mold.
This mod changes all standard red laser beams and changes all institute blue laser beams to bolt projectiles. There are no changes to any weapon stats, this is purely a visual enhancement at the moment.
Install
(The steps listed below assume you have the mod ready installed, if you don't then stop reading and get it sorted!)
- Download the main file. This will be the FOMOD installer, don't download the manual install file unless you know something
What are you doing
- Install using NMM or the mod manager of your choice. Again, if you want to install manually I'm going to assume you are
Very knowledgeable and know what you are doing.
- Activate all esps installed by this mod.
- Play!
Compatibility/known issues
Apparently by changing the beam to a projectile it makes the laser weapon no longer register "Penetrator"
perk, this is currently unsolvable as it is an engine issue with non-hitscan projectiles.
For some reason I can't figure out the bolts don't work with ceiling laser turrets, the projectiles are spawned above
The turret collided with the one mounted on the ceiling. I don't know how to fix this so I edited everything temporarily
Ceiling turrets so they will use vanilla laser beams. This will be implemented starting with v1.1
Other than that, it should be compatible with anything that doesn't change the recording of laser weapon "projectiles".
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
