EVE 'Vengeance' Gatling Laser Upgrade

This mod is an upgrade of the unique Vengeance gatling laser .nif & textures used in the EVE mod. The main skin now has numerous details to appear more realistic. Supporting texture maps have also been changed to go along with the new skins. The normal map is now 2048 x 2048 as well.

There is now a selection of styles in how the user wants it to appear. The weapon can be skinned in 4 different ways and textures are included in the archive to achieve the desired look.

The user can also activate the laser pointer (ie. make it visible) that was part of the EVE version of the weapon. There are 3 colors included to choose from.

The .nif (the game-compatible mesh and all its details) has been altered to correct a texture path error in the EC-pack version. The UV mapping on a few of the mesh's parts have been edited to properly center and orient them to allow greater detail without distortion.

Note that this mod is dependent on EVE being present in the user's game and no plugin is provided to use the weapon outside of EVE. The reasons for this are twofold:

1) When I began work on this mod, my sole intent was to retexture the weapon for private use. It was only later when I began to look into things that I found out I could release it publicly because the developer of the EVE mod publicly stated that all it's content was now open source. Further searching revealed that the original maker of the L30 version, DaiShiHUN, had allowed modding of it from the start. This cleared me to go ahead and modify both the texture and .nif for public release.

2) Seeing as how this weapon is available in both EVE and DaiShi's original release, I see no reason to make another plugin for it. Why have yet another mod running in your load order? I use EVE and like how the L30 model replaces the game's default and where and when it becomes available. I don't really approve of a powerful weapon like the Vengeance becoming available to someone just starting out because they added it to their mod list (good luck finding ammo for it without cheating!). If however, you'd like to use this mod and don't have EVE then I suggest getting DaiShiHUN's mod - my files should work with it.

So, if all the above interests you then please DL the mod, install it and have fun vaporizing baddies in style! :)
