1. Descrioption
This is a small mod that makes the chances of hitting with a scoped modded weapon in VATS higher. This effects all weapons with scopes (including the Sniper Rifle and uniques).
Also, the accuracy calculations are determined by distance from the target. At close range a scoped weapon will be practically useless, but at long ranges it should be much more accurate.
I recommend that you use Rafahil's "Activate VATS at Longer distances":

This looks nice.

I have never liked how weapon skill affected damage instead of accuracy (Fallout 2 was that way). I'd like to give that a try. Sounds like your mod does it in part, at least for scoped weapons.

Well, it just bothered me that the scope was only helpful outside of VATS. I had to make it...

The formlist including the weapons is missing from the perk, mod wont work without it..

I had a look at your latest esp, and while you do have WeaponModKits.esp as a master now, the hidden perk still has null entries for the formlist checks. So it's not actually fixed.

Really? How do I fix this?

EDIT: I believe I fixed it. Uploading the new file now.

Uh... Can anyone confirm? :angel:

Unfortunately, the latest version has actually gone backwards: WeaponModKits.esp is no longer a master to your esp, and the formlist fields in the perk are trying to reference a FormID in your esp that doesn't exist.

I can't remember if I mentioned in a PM, but you'll need to temporarily 'esmify' WeaponModKits.esp in FO3Edit before doing the work on your esp in the GECK. Open WeaponModKits.esp in FO3Edit, and in the File Header, edit the Record Flags field to have a tick next to 'ESM'. Save and exit. Revert that change after you've finished working on your esp in the GECK.

Also make sure bAllowMultipleMasterLoads is set to 1 in your GECKCustom.ini config file, before all this.

Once it's working and you're able to test it in-game, you may want to re-balance things. Or not; I don't know how drastic you wanted the effect to be.

At the moment though, if I'm reading it correctly, it seems that for anything over a couple of steps away from the player, accuracy will be doubled in VATS.

I'll try that. Also, how does the distance work? I thought the numbers represented in game meters or something... What is considered far away?
