Alt Start FWE Redux

NOTES (added 9/20/2010)

A reminder to everyone. Telling me you receive too much equipment is just shy of enough information. Telling me how much of what, for what history and skill set will allow me to tweak and fix things for an optimal FWE experience.

If reporting multiple characters, a list of history and the item you get too much off will suffice. Thank you all for your support on this. I actually have some more edits that drastically reduce ammo coming soon.

CHANGELOG

9/26/2010 - 1. 4:

• []Significantly changes ammo amounts. See the Ammo section for details; the result is that for each weapon, you will have 1 to 3 clips worth of ammo, plus a partial clip. Old calculation ranged from 2 to 7 clips per weapon.

  []Fixed the non-hardcore Slavers/Raiders being given the Hardcore factions.

  []Added key to Fort Independence for Outcast equipment.

  9/7/2010 - 1. 3:

  • []Fixed non-playable un-removable hat being given.

    9/4/2010 - 1. 2:

    • []Reduced amounts given of all items (food, chems, misc.)

      []Fixed issues with buggy items being given

      []Fixed Raider/Slaver histories

      []Fixed Politician and Ex-Enclave having ~36000 pounds of items.

      9/1/2010 - 1. 1:

      • Initial public release.

        Are you the kind of person who starts a character, gets to about level 10 or so, and then starts over? Are you also a person who plays FWE and ueses the Alt Start? Are you tired of always starting with the same gear in the same place? If so, then this is most certainly for you.

        What this is

        This is a complete reworking of the entire Alt Start system in Fallout Wanderers Edition. It aims to add variety to the start both in equipment and locations. It provides you with gear related to your skills and history, and places you in a location that is either faction important or somewhere around the Wasteland.

        How this works

        It actually works no differently on the user end than it did before. You choose your race, skills, and history at the terminal, and then activate the bed. All the original options are still there (Hardcore for Raider and Slaver).

        Where this changes is when it starts handing out gear. Each history is broken down into 3 levels: Poor, Moderate, Wealthy.

        Poor histories are unable to receive the best gear, even if they have high skills. (History Modifier of 0)

        Moderate histories could receive the best gear if they have high enough skill values. (History Modifier of 1)

        Wealthy histories are almost guaranteed the best gear with even low values in the required skills. (History Modifier of 2)

        All skills are fa
