Drag0ntamer's Hi-Res Gauss Rifle
=============================================
Description:
============
This is a texture replacer for the vanilla Gauss Rifle. It makes both the texture and the normal map higher res. I made the metal have greater detail and replaced the wood on the rifle to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Both the 1st person and 3rd person textures have been doubled from the standard vanilla settings.
Installation:
=============
1. Unrar Drag0ntamer's_Hi-Res_Gauss_Rifle.rar to your Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3/Data folder.
2. Use FOMM to run Archive Invalidation and enjoy!
1. Remove all Drag0ntamer's Hi-Res Gauss Rifle files. They can be found in the following directory...
data\textures\dlcanch\weapons\2handrifle
