📋 About This Mod
==================================== HUNTING RIFLE MESH FIXES ==================================== Author: MadCat221 (MadCat221@gmail.com) Version: 1. 0 May 22, 2011 1. Introduction 2. Installation 3. Terms of Usage 4: Version History =============== 1. INTRODUCTION =============== The venerable bread \'n butter gun of the Fallout series, the Hunting Rifle has returned and got a badly needed de-nerf from Fallout 3\'s iteration. It\'s also one of the lucky few guns that are fully tricked out with all three mods. However, those mods are rife with UVW errors, mesh mixups, and most crippling of all, a 1stperson SightingNode misalignment. Though partially corrected by the efforts of Joefoxx on an animation level, the fact remains that they\'re still misaligned on the mesh level. The UVW texture errors are most readily apparent with detailed texture replacers, such as Milennia\'s. This mod fixes all the UVW errors and alignment errors, and also implements a few other fixes. Despite my best efforts, 1stperson texture set overrides still went wonky, so they require a correction via the plugin. Also, the Extended Magazine mesh component was lengthened to actually be twice as long as the base magazine, to reflect the fact that it has twice the ammo capacity. This mod does work with Milennia\'s retextures, and I strongly encourage that you do use them. They will overwrite his own mesh replacers, however, but these arguably work better anyway. (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39070) It also is strongly recommended to pick up Joefoxx\'s fixed 1st person iron sight aim fix for non-pistolgrip rifles. All are affected, from shotguns to lever action rifles to bolt action rifles. Scoped guns aren\'t, though. (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38927) =============== 2. INSTALLATION =============== 1) Copy all files inside the Data folder to your Fallout New Vegas/Data folder (sans this Readme) 2) Open your favorite mod manager. 3) Activate \"HuntingRifleMeshFixes\". ================= 3. TERMS OF USAGE ================= These are altered Vanilla models, so usage is free. I\'d still like a little credit for the fixes though. ================== 4. VERSION HISTORY ================== v1: Initial Release. v1. 1 UVW corrections on one of the wire wraps, and also made the UVW layout of the rear iron sight a bit more sightlier.
