EWE - Energy Weapons Enhanced

VERSION 1. 3 UPDATE: Tiny optional (but recommended) patch that should solve crashing problems in the basement of Fort Independence that a few people experienced. Please let me know if this works or not. VERSION 1. 2 UPDATE: Patch contains missing pipboy icons for Glock 86 plasma pistol and YK42B pulse rifle, and missing mesh for L30 Gatling Laser. (Includes the 1. 1 update which just included the L30 mesh.) Check out the HD youtube trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuIQD75yPxI A Christmas present for Energy Weapon users! Increases the variety and usefulness of Energy Weapons without breaking gameplay balance or Fallout lore/canon. Includes special effects, models and textures from Weijiesen and Cipscis\' \"EVE - Energy Visuals Enhanced\", and classic energy weapons from Fallout 1 and 2. The Fallout 3 energy weapons are weak but they are energy efficient and can be fired rapidly. The classic energy weapons are powerful slow-firing weapons that are energy inefficient and use up twice as much ammo per shot. Energy weapons have special armour piercing properties and critical hits can have various interesting results. Includes Talkie Toaster\'s supermutant animations, allowing supermutants to use energy weapons just like in Fallout 1 and 2. Also includes a compatibility patch for Saiden Storm\'s awesome Stormfront Studios Presents mod, so now you can get the best of both EVE and SS mods at the same time! Playing EWE with Stormfront Studios Presents will give energy weapons enhanced skeletonisation and disintegration effects and improved ash piles/goo piles that shrink and evaporate over time rather than remaining forever. =============== Features: =============== # Total overhaul of behaviour and usefulness of energy weapons # NPCs and loot include powerful classic weapons from Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics # Energy efficiency (weak Fallout 3 weapons use 1 ammo per shot, powerful classic weapons use 2 ammo per shot) # The weak Fallout 3 lasers are now true semi-auto weapons that can be fired rapidly # The Enclave-designed plasma weapons fire weaker plasma bolts but are fully automatic # Critical hits to the face can have a temporary blinding effect # Laser and pulse weapons ignore 5% of normal damage resistance # Plasma weapons ignore 10% of normal damage resistance # All the awesome criticals and projectiles and special effects from EVE - Energy Visuals Enhanced # All the improved meshes (models) from EVE - Energy Visuals Enhanced # New weapon textures that include some EVE details but are closer to the standard designs # New sound effects, many based on sounds from Fallout 1, 2 or Tactics # Gatling lasers and other \"energy big guns\" use Energy Weapons skill # There is a point to tagging energy weapons skill: a Vault 101 security guard has a classic Wattz 1000 laser pistol # Supermutants will sometimes use energy weapons (if you activate optional esp file)**** # Most energy weapons will ignite gas
