Changelogs
Version 0.2
Rebuilt file in CK.
Version 0.1
Initial release. Optional file to allow magic boosting at rank 4 of Boost Pack Training.
Note This mod still works just fine in vanilla games. However, if compatibility or customization are a concern, please use Magic Boost Disabler instead. It uses a scripted method that is compatible with everything, and can be toggled at will.
What?
Prevents you from boost jumping unless space suit is shown.
Why?
I never liked the boost pack appearing out of nowhere. Maybe I'm the only one, but I found it immersion-breaking and counterintuitive - if I'm not wearing my suit, why can I boost? This also helps remove the temptation of jumping off of tall buildings or skipping ladders - We finally have working ladders and a mantling system in a Bethesda game, and (I at least) always ignore it in favor of the magic boost.
How?
The Boost Pack Training skill allows you to boost jump. If you change the conditions, you can 'disallow' boost jumping when the suit is hidden. I've made two changes to each rank of the perk to check the following:
Should the player's suit be shown in this environment? If your suit should be hidden, you will not be able to boost jump. Has the player toggled ON showing the spacesuit in settlements? If your suit is (or should be) shown, you can boost jump.
I've done some testing and these work as intended. TL;DR - If you can't see your suit, you can't boost. If you must boost, toggle your suit visibility ON in the inventory menu.
Installation It's a plugin. Install however you like to install plugins.
Notes
This does not unequip any of your gear at any time. It just prevents the boost pack from magically appearing. If you would prefer to not have any passive effects and armor from suits when hidden, use Auto Equip Unequip Spacesuit.
Compatibility
Compatible with Auto Spacesuit Hider and Smarter Spacesuit Auto-hide. Incompatible with any mod that changes the Boost Pack Training perk. Incompatible with mods like Ascension or Royal Galaxy that alter when the player is allowed to boost jump.
