Radiation Display

Post » Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:50 pm

I adjusted my fRadiationAccumulationRate to 5 (default=1). For those wondering this will multiply my rads/second by 5 from vanilla (not including wading or swimming in water sources). The problem is that in game, while I do accumulate 5 times the rads, my rads/second meter/display only shows me getting the vanilla rads/sec.

To clarify: If I stand next to a radiated barrel that gives off 2 rads/sec vanilla, my display shows me receiving only 2 rads/sec, but my total rads show the proper increase of 10 rads/sec.

This happens with all my mods loaded which includes DarN UI, with vanilla UI (no DarN) + mods, and with no mods loaded (vanilla) except the fRadiationAccumulationRate settings change. I even went so far as to uninstall DarN UI completely rather then just unselect it in FOMM. All with the same results.

So what Im getting is a disconnection between the rads displayed per second, but not total rads, and any fRadiationAccumulationRate setting above the vanilla default of 1.

Anyone else notice this? Advice or insight is apprieciated.

Thx - Mal

Edit: Full game reload with the problem persisting just using vanilla GOTY, no mods. Thinking its an oversite with the UI code to not include any multipliers from radiation in the displayed Rads/sec.

Also the water source radition settings (waterhealth...) are left at default levels as well as the fwade & fswim multipliers when checking this though they shouldn't affect this result anyway.
