About

This mod replaces vanilla pipe bolt action guns and pipe revolver weapons in the game into ExpoAlt's MTs-255 Revolver Shotgun weapon mod.

Replaced weapons will spawn with the following modifications:

• All replaced weapons will be named "MTs-255" in-game and will follow the instance naming conventions
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random receiver (Standard or Semi-Auto)
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random barrel
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random polymer grip
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random scope/sight
• Replaced pipe bolt action weapons will be chambered in .308 and NPC's will spawn with .308 ammo
• Replaced pipe revolvers will be chambered in .45 and NPC's will spawn with .45 ammo
  

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with Austindudeman's MTs-255 Revolver Shotgun Reanimation mod

If you plan on selecting a plugin with support for the new animations, make sure you install the main weapon mod and the MTs-255 Reanimation mod first.

Installation

1. Download and install: MTs-255 Revolver Shotgun by ExpoAlt - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31240

2. If you want to use Austindudeman's MTs-255 Revolver Shotgun Reanimation mod, install that now as well

3. Make sure the esp for the mod is activated and all the assets from it are in your Fallout 4 data folder

4. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want in the installer and click finish

5. Done

Troubleshooting

1. Place the replacer esp(s) lower or last in your load order. It's possible you have another mod activated that is overwriting the replacer data or your mod manager is auto sorting the esp's in a poor configuration

2. If an NPC/Companion weapon is broken, you can individually update them by entering the console, selecting the NPC, and entering the "Resurrect" console command. You will have to do this one-by-one for each NPC. If the NPC/Companion isn't equipping their replaced weapon after the resurrect command, open the console, select them, then enter the "openactorcontainer 1" console command. You can use this console command to view their inventory and force them to equip their replaced weapon and ammo or force them to equip another weapon altogether

3. Take the replaced weapon to a weapon workbench and re-craft the weapon parts. Crafting a new receiver usually opens up the parent slots for the weapon

Uninstallation

Simply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game. This mod makes data changes that may be irreversible, so you may have to load a previous save that hasn't seen this mod.

Known Issues

This is an issue with the weapon mod itself and not an issue with this replacer. The original weapon mod uses vanilla animations. The weapon will float above the hands when a stock is equipped on the weapon. This may be a dealbreaker for some of you
