What this mod does
==========================================================================

This mod reworks the Stealth Boys found in Fallout 3. Instead of adding a
permanent stealth field for a longer duration, the player can switch it
on/off once the Stealth Boy has been used. To keep it balanced, the
stealth field is only stable for a short duration, after which it needs
time to regenerate.

As a result, the player can now freely decide when/how to use the
stealth field, however, only short continuous stealth periods are
possible, resulting in a more dynamic and suspenseful gameplay experience.

==========================================================================
Features
==========================================================================

• Stealth Boys are now switched on/off by hotkey after they are used
  
• The stealth field is influenced by its stability
  
• When unstable, the stealth field can collapse and cause damage to the Stealth Boy
  
• HUD display elements for stability, charges and Stealth Boy condition
  
• All parameters configurable via menu

Installation
==========================================================================

Refer to readme for detailed instructions.
Installation with FOMM recommended.

==========================================================================
How to Use
==========================================================================

When activated for the first time, the configuration menu will pop up.
Default values should be reasonable, but feel free to change them.

Use a stealth boy like before to enable the stealth field.
Activate/Deactivate it by pressing X (default hotkey).

In your inventory under the category Aid you will find an item called
" Stealth Boy Config >" you can use to re-open the configuration menu.
