Special thanks goes to:
Moraelin: for his expert knowledge of Gamebryo and hexing
Brurpo: for having the persistence to figure out the problems with the .Nifs
The entire Niftools development team: for their dedication and timely resolve to get their tools
up to Fo3's standard.
INSTALLATION:
first step: acquire FOMM (fallout mod manager)
second step: change the value "bInvalidateOldFiles" from 0 to 1 in both Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini
in your appdata or my documents\my games\fallout 3 folder.
third step: open DDragon.rar. using windows explorer, navigate to your Fallout3\data folder
(c:\program files\bethesda software\fallout3\data, by default). drag the Vashdeagle.ESP into your data folder
drag the meshes folder into your data folder.
fourth step: decide which resolution (high or low) you will use for the textures. i highly recommend the High res, but if you find
it causes your frame rate to drop too much, the low res will be better. after you have chosen your resolution, open the corresponding folder
in the rar. drag the textures folder into your data folder.
open FOMM. make sure to check the Vashdeagle.ESP. hit launch Fallout. enjoy!
Acquiring your shiny new unique weapon: (beta)
one day while wondering the wastes around megaton, you come across a beaten and battered ghoul. he is missing an arm and a leg
and is lying in what looks to be a pool of his own blood that has long sense been crusted over by the hot unyielding sun.
something is different about this one, although his clothes are all but shreds and torn, they look very different than anything you have ever encountered in these wastes. you decide to check his person out. obviously anything that might not have been scavenged off of this zombie
is fair game. you kneel down and start to search through is pack, when WHAM! a slimy hand grabs you by the collar.
*cough* *COUGH* blood splatters your face. "Rai....raiders, fucking scum!" you can hardly make out the strange accent through
the gurgle of blood that accompanies his words."they....they took it! those fucking bastards!. you...you make them pay! you cant let them keep it....
it was...was my fath...." the grimy hand releases its hold of your collar as it slumps lifelessly to the cracked and dry scorched earth.
that's when you notice the tracks headed off to the west.......
*OR*
if you cant be assed to play along (-_-)

*UPDATE*
due to some feedback about the availability of my chosen location, I have made a temporary concession! you may now purchase Desert Dragon from both Smiling Jack and Flak and Shrapnel's.
Enjoy!
critical stats: (beta)
Desert Dragon: pre war firearm, Desert eagle .44. magazine capacity: 8 round. effective range, medium to close.
even though being fairly solid in design, its operating parts are quite prone dirt and wear quickly. regular maintenance and cleaning are required.
most parts are interchangeable with the more modern M99 10mm pistol so simple repairs should not be too costly.
this compile, for all intents and purposes, is a beta version. as modding improves i plan on getting up to a better standard. use this mod at your own risk, as i can not say with certainty that this will work 100%. if you encounter bugs feel free to post them so i can look into what is wrong.
known bugs:
as of right now, if Desert Dragon is dropped from the inventory, it will appear as a 10mm pistol in the game world. i have no clue why its doing that, i imagine there is another subrecord that controls the world appearance, but i cannot locate it as of yet.
