      UPDATE 1. 7 (1899 FIREARMS):

      • []Fixed the always injured bug

        []Removed fatal injury areas from the player (head, spine)

        UPDATE 1. 6 (1899 FIREARMS):

        • []Further tweaked and designed new damage regions; Internal organs such as liver always take 2x the cartridge damage

          []New internal bleeding, 40~95% depending on the internal organ

          []New arterial damage region which triggers the vanilla visual bleed outs (95%)

          []Critical damage is now affected by distances

          []Small caliber bullets don't cause bleeding (. 32 ACP) except at a very close range

          []Bleed out mechanics tailored for each type of region

          []Player's fatal regions are now critical regions instead

          UPDATE 1. 5:

          • []Overhaul of critical damages and bleed out chance percentage for each damage region

            []Designed with 1899 Firearms in mind, low calibers are less likely to cause bleedouts

            []Slight increase in damage areas for animals

            []Large animals (Grizzly, Elk etc.) are less likely to react to low calibers and can't be poisoned

            • []Limb shots do severely less damage and high caliber leg shots cause ragdolling

              []Fatal areas have been remodeled (larger brain, spinal cortex and heart) and are highlighted by deadeye

              []Critical areas (hidden for peds) such as outer head, neck, lungs and gut can do 2x the weapon's damage

              []Bleeding has been configured for each location and added missing ones (ex: neck area has a high chance)

              []Bleeding is longer depending on the area (limb bleeding can last up to 3min)

              []Collapsed writhing lasts longer and this includes the player's injured horse

              []Thrown melee and arrows are not one shot kills anymore
