Another Fallout 4 Weight Gain Mod

[AlphaDog445]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, 

 

   I would like to create another Fallout 4 weight gain mod. I've been researching how to write scripts, how to create sliders in BodySlide, and how to convert outfits in OutfitStudio. This mod I want to create is inspired by ColdSteelJ Fallout 4 Weight Gan mod. You can find it on DeviantArt.  But I want to take it a step further.

 

I would like to create a food, drug, and alcohol rework mod where each item has attributes geared towards weight gain. Such as vegetables are quick to digest, but you don't gain much weight. Meats take longer, but you pack on more pounds. Alcohol accelerates digestion and adds a little weight. Drugs can increase digestion, add more/lose weight, slowdown digestion, etc. Just to name a few. I'm fairly new to coding, but if anyone would teach me/help me out with it that would be awesome! I'm having a hard time finding tutorials online, and most of them tell me to talk to modders online (hence this post). 

 

If you have any questions just ask in here or email me metalhead19u9@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!

The big thing IMO is making your mod play nicely with other mods that affect the sliders. So, grab the current slider setting, make your adjustments, and then push the new setting.

 

Check out how the hardcore manager script watches for food/drink items and processes them. That should help you with some of the initial coding. Unfortunately, there aren’t keywords on the items that would help you determine “this is a carrot” or “this is a tato”.  One option is you could make a list of the vanilla items to compare against and have a default value for non-vanilla items.
