FALLOUT NEW VEGAS MODDING WEAPONS MOD

Although a popular Fallout 3 scripted weapon mod plugin made use of up to 4 mods, the Fallout: New Vegas option only grants up to three mods.For casual mod authors, creating a modifiable weapon is fairly simple.

Weapon mods are implemented directly via the user's Pip-Boy menu, rather than requiring any special scripting.

VATS Bonus: Unused in game, further testing is needed to find the effect of this and the two values.

Set it to 1 to maintain the default minimum spread. Remember that the weapon's damage will be divided up among the projectiles, so adding more projectiles lowers the damage per projectile while reducing the number increases the damage of each projectile in addition to the 30% bonus the modification already applies.

Split Beam: Value #1 is an integer equal to the number of projectiles added, or subtracted if a negative value is used.

Increase Rate of Fire: Value #1 is an additional multiplier where the number as a percentage is an additional increase in rate of fire (0.2 = 20% faster).

Decrease Spread: Value #1 is a flat reduction of the weapon's min spread.

Increase Zoom: Value #1 is a flat value subtracted from the weapon's zoom field of view.

It is currently untested whether or not this applies to the weapon noise from the weapon itself or from the weapon and the projectile.

Silence: No values used, this silences the weapon.

Increase Clip Size: Value #1 is a flat bonus to the weapon's clip size, or amount of shots that can be taken before reloading.

Increase Projectile Speed: Value #1 is the multiplier of the projectile speed.

Value #2 doesn't currently appear to do anything, but this requires further testing to ascertain whether that is the case. The weapon then ignores the next use of ammunition.

Regenerate Ammo (Shots): Value #1 is the number of shots before the regeneration effect procs.

If negative, it reduces the time taken to recharge.

Regenerate Ammo (Seconds): Value #1 is the number of seconds added to the weapon's recharge time.

Increase Max Condition: Value #1 is a flat bonus added to the weapon's maximum condition.

Increase Weapon Damage: Value #1 is a flat bonus to the weapon's damage.

Decrease Weight: Value #1 is a flat reduction to the weapon's weight.

Very few modification effects use the second value. Each mod can have two values specified- each does a different thing depending on the effect specified. A weapon can make use of up to 3 mods, each of which can be assigned one of the effects from the list below. Mods are assigned effects on the weapon's Mod Info tab.

In addition, attached Weapon Mods are effectively destroyed and merged into the weapon itself- they do not run their scripts, and cannot be detected using the GetEquipped function.

If the script contains OnAdd blocks, the game will crash when the mod is attached. However, they do not run their OnDrop or OnEquip blocks when they are attached to a weapon. Multiple different weapons can therefore use the same mod and grant different bonuses. Note, Weapon Mods have no effect in and of themselves- the only data they have is text description.

They can be selected as 'mods' on a weapon's Mod Info tab. Weapon mod items, known in the GECK as Item Mods, are new items in Fallout: New Vegas roughly similar in behaviour to Misc items.
