Gameplay
Balancing

Overview:

This small esp-free file simply damages the player's health whenever they gain radiation, either via a linear relation to the flat radiation damage number, or by a relative proportion to the player's max health and radiation levels.

The main file is a linear penalty, and the default value is 25% of the radiation is dealt as additional health damage.


To change the proportion, simply change

float fRadHealthPenaltyMult = 0.25tofloat fRadHealthPenaltyMult = 0.75for 75%.


This does not reduce radiation damage taken, and it does account for radiation resistance from all sources.


To switch to % based health damage, simply change

int bPercentBased = 0toint bPercentBased = 1


Requirements:

xNVSE

Installation:

Regular installation.


Sweet Mod Interactions:

Recommended with More Or Less Rads, Irradiated Lonesome Road, and RAD - Radiation Is Actually Dangerous


Load Order:

Irrelevant.


Patches:

None should be needed.


Compatibility:

Should be compatible with anything.


Bugs:

Please report bugs in the bugs tab, not the posts. I get a notification when bugs are reported, but I have too many mods to keep up on the posts on all of them routinely.


Questions:

How does this differ from Lethal Radiation?

This file is slightly easier to configure, has one extra safeguard, and there is an option for % based health damage.


Permissions:

Do whatever.
