Really Repeating Blaster Attacks 1.0.0

This replaces the old "heartbeat" style implementation of Repeating Blaster Attacks Restored (RBAR), and replaces it with a KPM-powered engine-based system.

 

It hooks into the attack sequence itself... and simply increases the number of Main Attacks by 1, if you're holding a Repeating Blaster. That's it. No messy effects or anything. 

 

Stacks properly with Master Speed and Rapid Shot, for five full attacks per round with all of them stacked.

Requirements and Compatibilities:

 

This installer requires the KOTOR Patch Manager (KPM) runtime. KOTOR Modern Restoration Project (KMRP) is supported and includes the required runtime, but KMRP itself is not technically required.... But seriously, you should be using it, it's incredible.

 

Ironically, it actually should be compatible with the original RBAR. That old heartbeat system basically casts a hidden force power on the player that increments a different value... so these effects would actually stack, if you wanted Repeating Blasters to just be ridiculously good. lol But, of course, you'd fall into the old problems of it breaking on save/load and area transition, intermittently not working at all, and having a limited ability to stack with Master Force Speed. 

 

Really, the only thing this should be directly incompatible with is something that also hooks into the attack sequence engine-side. And I'm not aware of anything like that. 

 

Since it uses the old "if the weapon you're using is BaseID 23 or 24 trick" to determine if it's a Repeating Blaster, this should even have direct compatibility with mods that add new repeating blasters (unless they, for some reason, add them as an entirely new weapon type).
