Automatic Weapons Fix - Minigun-Gatling-Chainsaw and more

As of august, 2021 this mod seems to be redundant because the sound bug is now completely fixed by lStewieAl's Tweaks "bSpinWeaponsSoundFix" option and the 0 ammo animation bug is fixed by "bManualReload" and "bPreventFiringAnimWhenEmpty" options so you should use it instead because it fixes it on the engine level.

I keep this on for archival purposes and for the people who for some reason don't want to use Stewie's Tweaks.

The description below hasn't been updated and reflects the old state of things.

Note regarding 2. 0 and lStewieAl's Tweaks: while it also tries to fix these bugs on the engine level, current (4. 90) version is not fully fixes them, now the sound will start to play no matter what but for some weapons there is still a critical sound desync if you firing too quickly.

I asked lStewieAl and he said that he's not gonna fix it further ATM, so I decided to update my mod instead.

It will now be aware of lStewieAl's Tweaks existence and will partially (optionally) disable unnecessary scripting functionality, leaving you with shortened/fixed sounds only, but you'll need to use certain ini settings, you will be warned about this after the first launch.

Also see "INSTALLATION" part for more info.

DESCRIPTION

This mod fixes two bugs associated with F:NV automatic weapons, first is that if you are out of ammo and keep firing button pressed, then your weapon will continue to play firing animation until you let go of attack button and second one is that if you stop attacking w/ certain weapons and then start again right away then there will be no firing sound.

Here's a list of weapons that were affected in some way by a sound bug, now they're fixed:

Various Miniguns

Various Gatling Lasers incl. Sprtel-Wood

Various Flamers incl. insta-firing TTW BS Flamers

Heavy Incinerator

Ripper incl. GRA Ripper

Thermic Lance

Industrial Hand

Auto Axe from TTW

Best thing is that beside these vanilla weapons, any modded weapons that use vanilla sounds are also auto-fixed, and even if you use weapons with custom sounds you can manually add them to form lists/edit their sounds a bit and they will also be fixed, or alternatively you can disable selected weapons from auto-fixing, see "customization" part.
