Deathclaw Gauntlet Fix Notes

Version 1 26/01/2010

Requirements

Installing the file
-------------------

Simply copy the IgDRDeathclawGauntletFix.esp file to your Fallout 3 Data folder. Check IgDRDeathclawGauntletFix.esp before launching Fallout 3.


Description
-----------

The Deathclaw Gauntlet is a weapon that is supposed to ignore DR (damage resistance); however, this appears to be bugged, as I have not found any target where this is true. Indeed, the damage inflicted by the gauntlet is the same whether the 'Ignore resistance' box is ticked in the GECK or not.

The primary purpose of this mod is to correct this problem. The mod calculates the correct damage, works out the damage that has already been applied to the target and then adjusts the target's health by the difference.



Limitations
-----------

1) THE DR CHANGES ONLY WORK IF THE WEAPON IS USED IN VATS.

2) The calculation for unarmed damage is not known. Therefore, I have used a version of the melee weapon damage calculation, leaving out the factors regarding the players Strength stat. The calculation appears to be fairly good for a player in good health.

2) Note that the changes do not affect enemies which have no DR.
