📋 About This Mod
: : : : Stimpak Counter New Vegas : : : :

: Installation : (modified from original readme)
Requires NVSE
It is highly recommended you use Unified HUD Project!
1) Install using a mod manager or extract the contents of the archive file to your Fallout New Vegas\Data\ directory. If asked if you want to overwrite files and folders, click 'Yes to all' (or equivalent in whatever OS version you have).
2a) If you have Unified HUD Project installed, make sure you have updated to the latest version with Stimpak Counter NV support, then deactive/reactivate the mod and make sure Stimpak Counter NV is checked. Skip to Step 4.
2b) If you do not have Unified HUD Project installed, navigate to your Fallout New Vegas\Data\menus\main\ directory, and check to see if hud_main_menu.xml is there.
3a) If it is not, or if that folder does not exist, move the \main folder located in data\menus\prefabs\SC into the data\menus folder and skip to Step 4.
3b) If the file is there, open it up using a text editor. Scroll to the bottom, and just above the last line, add:
<include src="SC\SC_HUD.xml" />
The last two lines will then look like:
<include src="SC\SC_HUD.xml" /> </menu>
4) Enable the Stimpak Counter.esp in your load order manager and you're done. Position in your load order is unimportant.
Once installed, check to make sure any further mods you install do not overwrite hud_main_menu.xml. If they do, repeat Step 3b once the file has been overwritten. If you're not sure, check (it should be pretty apparent, the hud counters will disappear the next time you play the game).
: Using the Mod :
If installed correctly, the counter will appear on your HUD when you next load up the game. To adjust its position on your screen, hold down RIGHT-SHIFT and use the arrow/cursor keys on y
