Would it be possible to make the Shishkebab weapon...

... give light like a torch (like torches from TES games for example)? I mean it IS a freaking torch, it has flames all around it all the time, so it should give light (in my opinion).

I think it'd be possible, but someone more knowledgeable in such things than I would have to give a definite answer.

It sounds like it should be pretty simple, though I wouldn't know how to go about it myself.

You could try asking the guy who made this: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39968/?

Risewild wants a Fallout version of the famous +1 Flametongue Longsword ... ;-)

I do agree that it should shed some light but kill a huge percentage of your stealth.

Necro time.

Was just looking to see if any mods had been done of this, hoping to see someone had come up with one that also used up flamer fuel and had to be refilled. Still looking, but like this idea too.

Well, it doesn't use fuel, but it does act like a torch.

I made it for New Vegas, but it works perfectly with TTW as well. Tested in Grayditch as you can tell from the screenshots.

Nice! SkB is a fun and silent weapon to use on the wee beasties to conserve ammo. And it also does a fine job roasting the roaches, should you decide/need to eat them. I hear they still taste like old feet though. Raise your hand...

I hadn't gotten far in looking when I necro'd the OP (was on break at work), so thanks for posting your mod. EDIT: Did you add this to Nexus just today? 300 views already.

Can it/does it affect stealth like the Pipboy light? Now hoping you may also be intrigued/challenged by the idea of having it use flamer fuel as well; that tank on your back can't be bottomless after all, but it might be fuel efficient...

I don't think it affects stealth... I can add that really easily. What do you think is a good reduction for the stealth? It's a lower intensity light that doesn't go as far, so it should be less than the pipboy.

EDIT: I looked at the game in xEdit, then did some tests in the game itself. The pipboy light doesn't actually add a debuf to the sneaking/stealth, instead, the engine seems to look for any actor effect of archtype light for calculating the sneak debuf. Since the shishkebab uses an archtype light effect, it SHOULD affect sneaking... and it does from my tests in the game. You are much more likely to be detected with the shishkebab drawn than with it sheathed.
