Version 1.1
Background:
I was rather dissapointed with the Holorifle model in the Dead Money DLC, still I have to respect the developers of the DLC as I know modelling a 3D object is not simple. I am not a modeller. Before the DLC was released, a modder named lolzinator42 brought Ox30's "Plastek" Tesla Rifle into New Vegas. I love Ox30's "Plastek" Tesla Rifle model, and I thought that the model was very nice to replace the vanilla Holorifle.
I don't want to blatantly replace the model, I want to play a little bit with the mysterious vending machine. So in this mod, a new weapon called Tesla Holorifle can be assembled from Tesla Cannon and Holorifle (and some flavoured ingredient). However, as I said above I want to respect the modeller of the Holorifle, so the new Tesla Holorifle can also be disassembled into those original two weapons (Tesla Cannon and Holorifle).
The Tesla Holorifle has increased damage, but less clip per round and it has no scope. Sorry I am a gamer not a modeller, and adding a scope into 0x30's is beyond me. Also, you need a vending machine code in order to be able to assemble the new weapon. The code is located somewhere in the Abandoned Brotherhood Bunker. Find it! Also I don't want to clutter the list of items in vending machine. So you can only see the item selection if you have the right ingredients for the vending machine.
I haven't asked any permission to the modders, as I didn't repackage or reupload the original mod. I just use the available resource, so you still need to download the original mod. The mod can be downloaded from: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40910
The installation:
1. Download the original mod - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40910
2. Install it, in fact what this mod need is just the a file in meshes\Weapons\Plastek called "PlastekTeslaRifle.nif"
3. Open this mod with winrar or other, and put the Tesla Holorifle.esp in Data folder
4. Activate it
5. Go to Abandoned Brotherhood Bunker and have fun...
If in any case that original modder was offended by this mod, I will gladly take it down.
Also, most likely you will need Weapon antistar's Weapon Mods Expanded - WMX, as the vanilla New Vegas doesn't have the Tesla Cannon. It's available but no instance available in the game world. WMX can be downloaded from: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39651
And... you need Dead Money DLC.
History:
1.0- Initial release
1.1- Added the recipe for unique Tesla Cannon. By using the unique the clip size is doubled,
means also that you can get the gun without installing WMX.
- Removed iron-sight from the first person view, the model kinda blocking the view
- Added zoom when aiming
- Added Electrocution effect, the signature effect of Tesla Cannon
