[IDEA] Hostering multiple weapons at once

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 8:44 am

The title is self-explanatory; would there be any way to wear several weapons at once? Namely pistol, rifle and knife?

Not exactly lore-friendly, but any player with a character that's wearing tactical gear would agree that it would be nice to be able to show all the weapons of choice on the character. Technically this could be done by converting the weapon meshes to be attached onto the body using a clothing slot, but that would require too much work since all the weapons in-game (or ones added by mods) need to be converted.

Would there be a NIF / KF workaround for equipping multiple weapons at once, and only considering one main item as holstered / pulled out?

It's been done before for FO3 and it's buggy and not mod compatible - at least how he did it, I didn't keep up with it much.

The mod for FO3 was just a backpack scripted to change its mesh and whatever depending on what was in your inventory. The weapons seen on your back were not in any way equipped, and in fact if you had a rifle weapon equipped it would cause clipping problems with the 2 rifle backpack you'd be wearing. Also if I remember correctly, you could have the same rifle equipped that was already in that backback mesh causing you to apparently have 2 of that same weapon even though you may only have 1. It also only worked for rifles, which meant that you couldn't have a pistol and a knife shown at once.

It was only really good for taking 3rd person screenshots. I will definitely give it credit on that aspect though. You could get some really cool screenshots with that thing.
