Mojave Rattlesnakes

Rattlesnakes from New California placed in the Wastelands.

READ THIS FIRST: This is only an ESP. The assets (models and textures) were made

by Mindboggles and are in the New California mod. The ESP does not depend on New

California's master ESM, but you still need the assets. However New California is over

7GB, and if you don't want that mod sitting on your harddrive you can do the following:

- Download New California.

- Make a dummy folder (like C:\dummy).

- Copy FalloutNV.exe from your New Vegas install to C:\dummy.

- Install New California to C:\dummy.

- Extract the Rattlesnake assets from "New California - Meshes.bsa" and

"New California - Textures2.bsa" with FOMM or with BSARCH. The assets in the BSA

files are located in "meshes\creatures\rattlesnake" and "textures\creatures\rattlesnake".

- Copy the rattlesnake meshes and textures to your meshes and texture folders

of your New Vegas installation.

- Delete the dummy folder.

The rattlesnakemod idea is originally from hideaki411. However I made some changes:

- Three sizes of snakes:

Small Rattlesnake, stats based on Bark Scorpion.

Rattlesnake, stats based on Radscorpion.

Big Rattlesnake, stas based on Giant Radscorpion.

- Poison effect added, snakes are now venomous:

Small snakes have BarkScorpion poison.

Medium snakes have Radscorpion poison.

Big snakes have Giant Radscorpion poison.

Note that the snakes are really hard to hit so

they can actually be very dangerous. You'd

be wise to stock up on Antivenom!

- Audio template with real snake sounds.

- Fixes to the loot which should not be in the inventory, but in the DeathItem.

- Removed ESP dependency on New California master file.

- Added spawn points all over the wilderness parts of the map.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

In the previous version of this mod I had added the snakes to the vanilla leveled

creature lists. This is not the right way to spawn creatures, either via script or

through manually adding the creatures in GECK, both of those methods are

bugged. For some reason some snakes were renamed to the creature which it

was supposed to replace. Even worse was that some renamed snakes also had

the HP of those creatures. It was almost as if creature forms were merged.

Monster Mod has the same problem, so I guess it's just not a good idea to place

custom creatures in vanilla creature lists.

Furthermore, if you use "LeveledListAddForm 1 1 1" to add creatures to vanilla

lists then the options 1 1 1 do not work. These three integers stand for

level/count/health. If you replace "level" with anything other
