TSC Troop Deployments

Requires Mothership Zeta Crew and all of it's prerequisites!

Description:
This mod is an addon for Mothership Zeta Crew that adds a new option to a new war room -- A holographic button to update the current deployments of TSC troops across the wasteland depending on your character's current progress through certain quests.

Important! (Below)
When updating the mod, it is important to press the reset deployments button added by Version 1.4 NEW LOCATION IN 1.6 (See images section) and then to re-activate the Update Troop Deployments holographic button on your council chair IN THE WAR ROOM (Accessible in the Teleport Hub!) -- This will re-run the script and make sure that all the troops that are supposed to be on a deployment actually end up being enabled.

Make sure that in the FALLOUT.INI file in your Documents/My Games/Fallout3 Folder has the line "bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles = 1" inserted below "STestFile1=Fallout3.esm" or some of the Soldiers will have a purely white face when they are not supposed to!
Important! (Above)

Locations that can have troops deployed to:
Project Purity (4 Troop Tiers)
The Mall (4 Troop Tiers)
Path between Rivet City & Underworld (2 Troop Tiers)
Path between Rivet City & Megaton (4 Troop Tiers)
Canterbury Commons (2 Troop Tiers)
Path between Canterbury Commons & Megaton (2 Troop Tiers)
Arefu (2 Troop Tiers)
Big Town (2 Troop Tiers)
Path Between Arefu, Big Town & Megaton (2 Troop Tiers)
Path Between Tenpenny Tower & Megaton (2 Troop Tiers)

Troop Types:
TSC Marines (Unlocked after Take Me To Your Leader for certain areas, otherwise they will unlock after In At The Deep End)
>Marine Sniper Subtype
Thunderfist Guardians (Unlocked after In At The Deep End)
Hammerhead Heavy Troopers (Unlocked after Elsewhere..)
TSC Guardian Robots (Unlocked after the Ship's Factory is Repaired and Take Me To Your leader is Complete.. Unsure exactly when the ship's factory is repaired in the TSC questline.)

Known Issues:
Due to some unknown issue, sometimes when speaking to certain TSC Soldiers while having an Aqua Pura in your inventory you can have an Aqua Pura removed from your inventory and be given good Karma, as if giving water to a beggar. However this bug seems to have no bad consequences (Just think of it as the soldier being thirsty)

Sometimes TSC Soldiers can have their weapons shot out of their hands, causing them to patrol around with their fists out, this can be fixed by opening the console, selecting the soldier and then typing Resurrect.

Sometimes TSC Guardian Robots will blow up their allies, this most often occurs when TSC forces are engaging Enclave forces dropping from a vertibird (The Robot Cannons can blow up the Vertibird)

Sometimes the sound engine will bug out and play a weird static noise that lingers for a very long time, however this is an engine limitation that I cannot fix. Can be solved with a mod that removes the idle sound from the Alien drone cannon Like my mod here: Silent Drone Cannons


Plans for the next version:
Possibly greater variety in marines/thunderfists' loadouts.
