I have decided to stop all development of this mod. If anyone wishes to continue it, they may do so. Just link back so people know I had a little bit of a hand in it :)

===============
NVSE Disclaimer
===============

NOTE: This mod requires NVSE (v1.0 beta 10 as of 5.01.11). Since NVSE is still in beta, this mod must also be considered a beta release. Please go to http://nvse.silverlock.org/ for downloads and more information.

================
Patch Disclaimer
================

This mod only works with Fallout New Vegas v1.3 (4.25.11).

===================
Mail Order Catalogs
===================

Courier: "Chet, this is all you have? Crappy 9mm's and silenced .22's? Don't you have anything with more... OOMPH?"
Chet: "Sorry, man, but this is all I can get my hands on. This is Goodsprings; not New Vegas."

Do you have caps to spare for more firepower but tire of trekking all over the Mojave Wasteland? On the east side of the Goodsprings General Store and next to the tail of the Dinky the Dinosaur in Novac, there is a mail order catalog stand and dropbox.

=================================
Buying Firepower Through the Mail
=================================

Upon loading a save or starting a new character, the merchandise codes will automatically download to your Pip-Boy. After browsing through the notes to find what item you want, make a mental note of the number, click the mail order catalog stand, and go through the menus. Wait two or three days and you should see a message pop up around 3:00 PM asking you to check the dropbox.

Notes:
1. For normal shipping, orders placed before 3:00PM will be delivered in two days and orders placed after 3:00PM will be delivered in three days. For rapid shipping, it is one day faster.
2. The prices are the standard values of each item plus 10% for normal shipping and 30% for rapid shipping.
3. This mail order service will only sell weapons and weapon mods. For game balance reasons, consumables like ammunition, grenades, and mines are not available.

IMPORTANT: READ IF YOU NEVER GET AN ORDER DELIVERED

The way the quest script works, you shouldn't wait for two days straight to get your delivery. The quest script has a variable that checks for when it's about 3:00 PM. You have to be awake and not in menu mode (like sleeping or waiting) for two time periods: the first from midnight to 2:59 PM and the second between 3:00 PM and midnight. Note that you have to be awake for at least 5 seconds in real time during each of the two time periods. That way the quest script will fire correctly and update the time left. In other words, don't just sit there and wait for the package. Go out and kill something!

===========================
Installation/Uninstallation
===========================

Vanilla:
Copy "Mail Order Catalogs.esp" to your data directory as well as the "Meshes" and "Textures" directories supplied in the zip file. If you have any DLC, copy the appropriate "Mail Order Catalogs DLCxx.esp" file to your data directory as well. Make sure the DLC files are in numerical order.

Hardcore:
If you think the prices are too low, add the file "Mail Order Catalogs Hardcore.esp". It will increase all prices by the global variable of fBarterBuyBase. In the vanilla game, that's a 55% price increase. Mods like XFO (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37871) may increase it even more.

WMX:
For WMX (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39651) support, copy "Mail Order Catalogs WMX.esp" to your data directory. If you want to use the WMX Modern Weapons mod, copy "Mail Order Catalogs WMX Modern Weapons.esp" to your data directory. If you have any DLC, copy the appropriate "Mail Order Catalogs DLCxx WMX.exp" file to your data directory as well. Make sure the DLC files are in numerical order.

Remove files and directories to uninstall.
