Can someone tell me how to make weapons sway depend on our skill? I thought it was in the gun spread formula - fGunSpreadSkillBase +(fGunSpreadSkillMult * ActorSkillValue). I've changed the skillbase and the skillmulti with a mod and ingame with the SetGS command, but neither one seem to make a difference. I still want to bullets to fire straight from the gun, depending on the individual guns spread, but I want our skill value and strength to determine how steady we can aim.

The GECK shows fGunSpreadSkillBase = to .5 and fGunSpreadSkillMult = to -.005. I've change these setting to what I thought were absurd numbers but the gun sway didn't change.

Does any one know what these setting do?

fIronSightsMotionBlur = 0
fIronSightsGunMotionBlur =0
fGunSpreadDriftMult= 0

Thanks

I think what you're looking for is fWobbleToSkillConversion. Others that will have a notable impact on weapon sway are:

• fRunningSpreadPenalty
  
• fStandingSpreadPenalty
  
• fUnaimedSpreadPenalty
  
• fWalkingSpreadPenalty
  
• fNonAttackGunWobbleMult
  
• fMinGunSpreadValue

I made a mod that alters the way aim steadiness works, for personal use, and I had to add a Perk with "Calculate Gun Spread" Entry Points to pull it off the way I really wanted in all situations. Notably crouching and post-shooting accuracy had to be dealt with that way. They were far too steady for my liking.

Yep, the spread formula was considerably changed and the old game settings no longer have any effect, instead the ones pelinor posted are now used. The influence the actor skill has is that after all penalities have been summarized, they are multiplied by 1 - (skill * 0.005), so 1.0 at 0 skill and 0.5 at 100 skill.

Thanks Pelinor and Schlanster. Do either one of you have a formula for these settings? Or are just added together like this?

(fRunningSpreadPenalty + fStandingSpreadPenalty + fUnaimedSpreadPenalty + fWalkingSpreadPenalty + fNonAttackGunWobbleMult + fMinGunSpreadValue) * (1 - (skill * 0.005))

How did you guys puzzle this out?

Yes we have have a (hopefully) complete formula because we did lots of testing during the past weeks for a mod we're working on. Once that's done and we are not that busy anymore someone will write down what we found out so far and post it.

Well thanks again. It looks you guys may be addressing some issues that I have with combat. Maybe I'll just let the pros handle it.
If you're also going to change weapon - range, recoil, speed , volume, damage, crit chance, and crit damage (don't ask for much do I) then I'd be a happy man.

hmm.... ouch ... that explaines some things ^^

two questions: is it
1 - (skill * 0.005)
or
1 + (skill * -0.005)
i am asking because the "fGunSpreadSkillMult" is -0.005 ... yes i can be very nitpicking
or is the 0.005 a fixed value?

If not, it seems, the "fGunSpreadSkillMult" is the only skill-dependant factor in the new formula ... hopefully there is one *g*

how about "fDamageSkillBase" and "fDamageSkillMult", are they still "in use" ?

As far as I remember, all those spread-related XMult, XBase game settings are no longer used. This includes fGunSpreadSkillMult, the 0.005 are static (you can try setting either base or skill to some very high value, it shouldn't have any effect).
I dont know about "fDamageSkillBase" and "fDamageSkillMult", only tested spread stuff
