(can be used with all .45 caliber weapons)


Other changes:

All dialogues regarding weapon uprades are changed to fit 
the new weapons.

===========================================================================

Instalation:

If you use FAME or ModRunner, place .dat files included in this package
either in the main Fallout 2 directory (ModRunner) or in FAME dir. 

Due to some issues with packing large .dat files I split the content
into few small .dats. You need to launch them all in order to experience
the whole mod content.

If you don't use any mod launchig software, unpack the content of data.zip
into your falout2\data directory. Note that files are marked as read-only
so you will have to remove them manually if you don't want to use 
the mod anymore.

===========================================================================

Compatibility:

1.02
The mod should be compatibile with your old savegames from Fallout 2 v1.02.
I would suggest to unload all the BB guns and Bozars you have 
in your inventory, as they use now different type of ammo 

1.051
The should work fine with the newest fanmade Fallout 2 1.051 Patch
However, the mod will supress changes made by the patch to weapons that are 
included in both releases.

However, you need to :
- if you use modrunner or fame - launch 45acpweapmod-pro-item.v1.051.dat 
  instead of 45acpweapmod-pro-item.dat; 

- if you don't use any launchig software - rewrite the pro_item.msg placed
  in \data\text\english\game\ dir with the one from pro_item.v.1.051 folder
  included in this package.   

===========================================================================

Changes made to v0.9

- Added M56 Smart Gun as a replacemnt for Bozar
- Added a patch 1.051 compatibility
- Tweaked 9mm S&W and H&K UMP SMG for proper (higher) AP usage
- Corrected various spelling mistakes
- Improved documentation (inluding this awfully long readme) 

=========================================================================== 

Credits

Most of the pictures used in the mod are edited photos of actual weapons 
or their airsoft replicas gathered from many places around the web.
However, there are few exceptions which need to be mentioned:
- a Beretta picture is an edited render of a 3d model by Jackal326,
  it was released as an addon for Operation Flashpoint – a game
  by Bohemia Interactive Studious
- an M14 picture is an edited render of a model by an unknown member
  of a never-released Vietnam Mod for Operation Flashpoint;
- an AK47 pictureis a render of a 3d model by… me, 
  it which was created during my short 3dmax adventure.

Many thanks to creators of useful modding tools for Fallout 2, 
especially to guys behind FIME and Dat Explorer. 

Kudos to the authors of HK mod for Fallout 2,
which was a direct inspiration for my work.

Thanks to Enclave Interactive & FMC (2003) for their 1.051 patch.
(Hope they don't mind me using tweaked version their pro_item.msg
in my mod to make both releases Compatibile)

Finally I’d like to thank guys at Interplay and Black Isle Studious
for bringing us both a masterpiece of gameplay in two parts
- The Fallout RPG series.
