== Upgrade Instructions from v1.x ==
Albeit version 2.0 includes extensive changes since version 1.x, straight upgrade from v1.x is perfectly works fine. You'll need to take few additional steps though. Also many extra weapon mods are supported via add-ons now. Don't forget to check out them!

Assets Migration Guide:
  • Remove Assets Pack - WSE2VR.7z and Assets Pack - RU556A.7z. No extra pre-patched asset is necessary. v2.0 patches them using scripts in game.
  • Consider re-building Assets Pack - WSE2.7z using v2.0 Builder.  Old one still works fine, but v2.0's comes with updates.
  • Remove FRIK Patch.zip. FRIK compatibility is now built into main plugin. No additional patch is required in v2.0.
  • Remove VR_AWKCR_Nukaworkd CTD Fix.zip. This file is now a part of main file. Will be always installed.
  • Remove VRCP_VIS-G Item Sorting.zip. VIS-G compatibility is a FOMod option now. Select corresponding option during installation.

Plugin Migration Guide:
  • JSRS_Weaponsmith Extended 2.esp -> VSFX_Weaponsmith Extended 2.esp. Please upgrade to Ballistic Overhaul for Weaponsmith Extended 2 >= 2.1. It comes with a lot of improvements.
  • DOOMMerged.esp, Weaponsmith Extended 2_DOOM.esp -> (Deprecated). Please uninstall DOOM weapons pack and WSE2 patch. These contents are now moved into main plugin in v2.0.
  • VRCP_JSRS_Weaponsmith Extended 2.esp -> (Merged into main). JSRS compatibility is a FOMod option now. Please fill corresponding option during installation.
  • VRCP_Weaponsmith Extended 2_RU556A.esp -> vrscope_RU556Armouryprojectv3.esp. RU556 Armoury patch is a selectable add-on now. Please fill corresponding option during installation.
  • VRCP_Weaponsmith Extended 2.esp (Weighted) -> (Merged into main). Weighted plugin replacer is now a part of FOMod option. Please fill corresponding option during installation.

In-Game Savedata Migration Guide:
  • Mod manager quest/perks update. Please use WSEVR Setting Holotape and open any sub-entries. Doing so will trigger update script in background.
  • Additional weapons from DOOMBased patch. If you've installed DOOM patch and had weapons from it, they'll be gone because of FormID changes in v2.0. Please use WSE Debug Container Menu Holotape, spawn weapon container and re-acquire missing weapons.
  • Weapon inventory preview fix. Due to edits made, pre-v2.0 weapon instances become invisible in Pip-Boy and container menu preview. Equipping them once will resolve the issue. Alternatively, using Holotape entry [Trouble Shooting] / [WEAPONS - Weapon preview is missing from Inventory/Workbench] will fix each weapons in current inventory.

== Video Tutorials ==
Laser Sight(Please watch in fullscreen if you can't see laser/glow spot)

  • Equip a laser sight attached weapon. Or laser weaponry, because they can propel its own laser for sighting.
  • To toggle on/off laser beam, use 'WSEVR Laser Sight Toggle' item.
  • You can toggle using popup menu too. The menu will show up when a supported weapon drawn.
  • Aim target with glow spot, then fire!
  • Laser color is customizable. Use 'Weapon Workbench' and pick favorite color from 'Laser Sight' menu.

*

Flashlight

  • Equip a flashlight attached weapon.
  • To toggle on/off flashlight, use 'WSEVR Flashlight Toggle' item.
  • You can toggle using popup menu too. The menu will show up when sneak mode is activated/deactivated.
  • Flashlight color/pattern is customizable. Use 'Weapon Workbench' and pick favorite one from 'Flashlight' menu.
  • Walk into darkness with flashlight!

*

Scope Zoom
  • Equip a weapon with variable magnifier scope. Combat scopes and few others support this feature.
  • To zoom in scope, use 'WSEVR Scope Zoom Toggle' item.
  • You can toggle using popup menu too. The menu will show up when you activate scope mode then exit.
  • Aim target carefully, then fire!

*

Projectile Laser Sight(Please watch in fullscreen if you can't see laser/glow spot)


  • Equip a gun you want to attach projectile laser sight. Should work on almost any weapon, Including other mod's weapons.
  • Use '(Setting)WSEVR Setting Holotape' item. The holotape should be in your inventory with the mod installed.
  • Follow menu hierarchy [Laser Sight Menu] / [Attach Projectile Laser Sight to Equipped Weapon].
  • Pick your color then enter. Try first four entry without 'Muzzle Alternative' first.
  • Following process is identical to regular laser sight: Activate using item or popup menu.
  • Then sighting laser will be emitted from the barrel or gun point.
  • The options above may not work on certain weapons, Minigun in the video's case. When this happened, try 'Muzzle Alternative' variants with step (4).


== Compatibility and Load Order ==
Survival Ammo Weight Patch:
  • 'Survival Ammo Weight Patch' from Weaponsmith Extended mod is not compatible. Use 'Weighted Plugin' option from this mod's installer.
Mods that alter weapon records of Weaponsmith Extended 2:
  • This patch mod edit many weapon records for VR compatibility. So balancing or whatever mods that alter same weapon records need further patch.
Mods that edit Leveled Item records:
  • The Weaponsmith Extended mod edit Leveled Item records extensively. So mods that do same thing would have compatibility issues. Other weapon mods that inject LL via scripts should work fine. This patch mod itself only contains LL edits for bug fixes, so any compatibility patch for base mod should work fine too.
Mods that alter reflex sights of vanilla weapons:
  • This patch mod will take care of reflex sights. So mods doing same things will conflict.


== Known Issue and Limitation ==
Enemies attacks by barehands despite they have mod added guns:
  • This happens because rechambered weapons spawn without converted ammo. I looked through plugin and everything seems to be right. And actually works correctly on newly spawned enemies. Only respawned enemies seem to suffer from this issue. Probably another engine glitch? Further research should be taken. TBD for now.
Grenade launcher's timed explosive ammo may drop into ground:
  • Grenades and explosives was a category that needed extensive edit for compatibility to VR. It's mainly because Bethesda modified 'lobber' type projectile to implement VR's 'throw by hand' feature. Anyway, I had to edit grenade launcher's behavior and that cause this trouble. If you hit ground by timed explosive ammo then it may bent into ground. Not very often, but sometimes happens. Not against structures nor creatures but only ground.
Some throwing weapons fly into unintentional directions:
  • For dart weapons and some other explosives, you need to throw with a different manner than ordinal explosives. Don't throw them bluntly but just snap wrist, in immersive term. Or hold grenade button and release into desirable angle, in technical term. Some may call this glitch, but I prefer this variance, so leave untouched. Affected weapons are: chemical dirts, Throwing knife, stick grenades, Compact Artillery Shell, Fire Bomb and Energized Sentry Rockets.
Moddable Throwing Knives by Jkroovy is missing:
  • There are multiple difficulties to port this weapon to VR. So I just disabled the construction recipe. No LL edit was made. You can still use throwing knife from included Grenade Expansion Pack.
If you found any other issues, let me know via 'BUGS' page. It'll always be helpful!
