UPDATE 3 Mar 09 : Uploaded a minor bugfix, well, minor or major depends on how you like invisible deathclaws from time to time :p This is the basic mod for the project SKYFIRE series which includes several weapons, quests/lore and new areas over 5 to 6 releases You can follow the development of the series and get the latest news, proof-of-concepts and maybe some extras at the project SKYFIRE page at : http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3828 The series involves a line of energy weapons glued together with a story, quests and lore (and perhaps new areas with unique functions, e.g. player made city, romance mod...but anyhow check the skyfire page for more) And now for an IMPORTANT service announcement : YOU NEED FOSE 1. 0 OR BETTER TO RUN THIS MOD! I REPEAT! YOU NEED FOSE TO RUN THIS MOD! ....that is all :) and now....on with the show ============================================================ Name: E-42 Ion Pulse Rifle Version: 1. 1 Date: 3/3/2009 (3/2/2009 Initial Release) Category: Weapons and Armor Requirements: Fallout Script Extender 1. 0 (FOSE) Author(s): TeNb1 Source: Description =========== An experimental weapon borne from the research and adaptation of alien technology by DARPA and the US government before the nuclear annihilation. It was being prepared as the \'game changer\' in the Great War, but sadly, never made it past prototype Location ======== A researcher from the Massachusetts Commonwealth on a quest for ancient pre-war tech used to live in the abandoned house now occupied by the Vault Dweller from vault 101... rumors abound that he had made a great discovery before he went missing awhile ago. Perhaps he didn\'t take his discovery to the grave? What secrets did he leave behind? Search the house for hidden clues to his final treasure. (Consider this a semi mystery quest mod if you want, I have hidden the rifle in plain sight :) Details ======= ThE E-42 Ion Pulse Rifle is a complex scripted weapon. Even though I have scrubbed the code over and over, it was only ever designed to accomodate ONE rifle in the gameworld. i.e. if you use player.additem to make one for every follower YOU WILL BORK THE SCRIPT. To avoid this I created an Ion Pulse Rifle (NPC) version that is unscripted, looks the same but is much weaker and less accurate but does not eat ammo (you only need to give them one) for your followers. I will try not to put any spoilers here but to activate the rifle\'s true power, the secret lies in the user manual (duh :p) Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files to (install folder)\\Fallout 3\\Data\\ 4. Start Fallout Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the .esp file. Uninstall ========= 1. Start Fallout Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s). 2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. \\Data\
