📋 About This Mod

Blackhawk to Desert Eagle Mod - By Cocknose Original mod by Vashts1985 found here, \" http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=548 \" -------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This mod retextures the unique . 44 magnum \"Blackhawk\" to being a Desert Eagle. The reason I created this mod is because I don\'t like introducing a new, perfectly clean gun into the wasteland to be used be every common raider and super mutant, as it is not like Desert Eagles are that common today so why would they be common after nuclear war. However I do feel justified introducing it as a unique weapon especial as Agata (who you obtain Blackhawk from) says that her dead husbands gun is quite rare and that he used to tinker and modify it. -------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Unzip the BlackhawkToDesertEagleMod file but NOT directly into the fallout 3 data folder. 2. Open the unziped folder. 3. Drag and drop the BlackhawkToDesertEagleMod.esp folder into your fallout3 data folder. Default location \" C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\Data \". 4. Drag and drop the meshes folder into your fallout3 data folder. 5. Decide whether you want the high or low res. versions and open the applicable folder. Then decide which version you prefer (i.e. EMDG, Millenia, RacerGold or RacerSilver, there is a picture to help you decide) and open the pertaining folder. Now drag the texture folder into the fallout 3 data folder. 6. Now open up the data files from the fallout launcher and put a tick in the box beside BlackhawkToDesertEagleMod. -------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall: 1. Remove BlackhawkToDesertEagleMod.esp from your Fallout 3 Data folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- Compatibility: This plugin only edits the unique gun Blackhawk and does not edit the . 44 Magnums at all. So as long as no other mod edits Blackhawk no problem should arise, even then as long as it loads up after an incompatible mod there should be no problem. If any problems arise, feel free to contact me at Fallout 3 Nexus. -------------------------------------------------------------- Credit: Most of the credit for this mod should go to Vashts1985 and his team for creating the models for this gun. I mearly changed it so that it was Blackhawk that was edited which involes little to no work on my part. So any credit must be given to Vashts1985\'s original mod found here; \" http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=548 \" for making this spectaclular looking gun. Credit for Vashts1985\'s original mod; Model: Vashts1985 Uvmapping: Flamshmizer & Malignant Textures: Millenia El maestro De Graffiti Racer445 Fallout 3 port and compile: Vashts1985 Special thanks goes to: Moraelin: for his expert knowledge of Gam
