Megaton Tweaks -- Snipers Edition

WARNING: Do NOT upgrade Fallout 3 to version 1. 5+ if you use a lot of mods unless you use FO3Edit and create a Merged Patch, especially mods in Megaton. I have now released a version (1. 0) that should work fine with Fallout 3 v1. 7. Megaton Tweaks - Snipers Edition -------------------------------- This mod sprouted from an idea that hit me after I found the corpse of my favorite merchant, Crow, crumpled up right against the exterior walls of Megaton. I use a wide variety of mods (FOOK, CFW, MMM, etc.) and play on Very Hard with more customized mods tossed in for good measure to give me a challenge. That\'s fine for me, but not so good for the innocent NPCs trying to stay alive! So, here you have my first mod dealing with NPCs and scripts. It is quite simple at its heart, but was more of a challenge than you might expect. It adds 5 additional snipers to the walls of Megaton to help out Stockholm. It doesn\'t just stop there though. I\'m attempting to make this feel like a natural part of the game, so these snipers are scripted with some basic AI and I might get more complicated with them as I update this mod. Also, since the mod is built on the base of the most excellent Megaton Tweaks by dragon0421 (with his gracious permission), there\'s that much more detail and playability to the otherwise stale crow\'s nests of Megaton. Climb up into a crow\'s nest and you\'ve basically relieved one of the guards. That sniper may head to the Common House and perhaps take a nap, or go grab a meal at the diner, etc. And you won\'t be crowded up in the crow\'s nest. I have not altered the Megaton Entrance sniper Stockholm because I wanted to make sure I kept this mod as compatible as possible with other mods now and in the future. I have used the original Megaton Tweaks for months and combine it in my long mod list with a half-dozen Megaton mods. All work very well together and so I believe this particular mod to be a safe and quality base to use for the addition of snipers to Megaton. ********* FEATURES ****** 1) 5 unique, geared and balanced snipers added to Megaton. 2 of them will sell you something. 2) Snipers may be armed with anything from a hunting rifle to a plasma rifle based on a custom randomized level list. They will get better geared as the game progresses. 3) The snipers exist in the world of Megaton; they are not just cheap decoration. They eat, sleep and even take restroom breaks. They sometimes patrol, other times wander or loiter, and anything that happens to them on the inside or outside of Megaton is reflected correctly on the opposite side. (i.e. Sniper is killed on the walls outside then he will not appear alive when you enter Megaton. If a sniper is sleeping inside he will not be manning a crow\'s nest outside, etc.) 4) Snipers idle and patrol randomly and defend Megaton inside AND out. ****** REQUIREMENTS ********* The original Megaton Tweaks is NOT r
