📋 About This Mod
January 2013 Yeah yeah, I know, you\'ve been patient and still no uploaded update. I\'ve been learning more and more within the GECK and applying it to the update I\'m working on. I\'m hoping the finished product will be worth the wait. I\'ll be honest, I work on it when it\'s fun for me to do so - and that happens when I learn something new and get excited to practice it. When I get distracted by things like dragbody\'s new armor, for example, some time will pass before I get back to it. If someone wants to work with me on this or even be a cheerleader behind the scenes I\'m sure it would go much faster - until then it\'s simply a side project for me. I\'m also going to attempt to get access to CaliberX so that if/when I make changes or updates I can hit both mods at the same time. Going forward I also intend to put the \"original\" AK-47 and AK-74 from earlier versions of Reload back into use - permission was obtained, might as well get some use out of them. Comments, questions, feedback? The Nexus does not always notify me when forum responses have been made, the best way to reach me is via PM. Thanks! April 8, 2012 I have begun recreating Reload. I started out this project eager to rebuild the original Reload with the additional ammo types added by CaliberX and the Fallout New Vegas DLC\'s in the last year. I was up to the daunting task of changing naming conventions back to the original Caliber standards as well as costs and weights, but I asked myself the simple quesiton \"why?\". I decided there was no point or \"payout\" in doing all that work for a few reasons. 1. The people who will notice the difference have likely not added mods or updated their game in over a year since many vanilla updates have changed weights and values in the last year and CaliberX HAS been updated to reflect some of these changes as well as intergrate the DLC\'s into the Caliber framework. 2. The naming conventions, as they differ between the original Caliber and CaliberX are merely cosmetic details and a matter of preference. I will be more than happy to customize or put out special editions to be consistent with almost any accepted convention IF (read that emphasis on the IF) someone can point me to a reputable, verifiable reference for the conventions they wish to see a naming patch for. It would also be more worth my while the more changes are required - if it\'s only one or two cartridge types that need changing I will leave that to the individual to edit their own patch for and if they wish to share I would be happy to host it. In that vein I will likely include one I will use myself because my personal preference is to see 7. 62mm NATO instead of . 308 Winchester and 9x19MM FMJ instead of 9mm Parabellum for example. My view on weights and costs will be similar - I understand and appreciate that for some every little . 001 of a pound is important to be 100% real world accurate, but for me this is a game to have fun with and e
