1.Introduction
====================================================================================================================================================

This is my attempt to further unify and polish the crafting process in Fallout 3 by extending CRAFT.

For users, it provides a single, consisent crafting menu, with clear categories and improved usability features.
The mods that are Supported as of now are:
- FWE
- WMK
- Vanilla Schematics
- CRAFT - EnergyAmmo
- CALIBR Ammo Schematics
- Workbench and Crafting Expansion
- Bobby Pin and Tin Can CRAFTing

For modders, CRAFTHelper should ease the addition of new CRAFTable items.



====================================================================================================================================================
2.Features
====================================================================================================================================================

Contained in this package is the CRAFTHelper master file and a set of patches. The master file contains common item categories and scripts, and the
patches use these to integrate other popular crafting mods into a common, seamless menu.


CRAFTHelper itself is a modders resource. It provides:

• Helper script to take care of the crafting process
• Set up to 8 different required items with respective amounts, and up to 8 different resulting items with respective amounts
• Support for individual item types, item health, failure chance, success/failure messages, crafting time, ...
• Support for item categories (weapons, armor, misc. items, ammunition)
• Generic support for creating multiple items of the same type at once. Availabe choices based on how many sets of required items the player carries.
• Crafting now takes (game) time, visually indicated by a short fade-out. All crafting effects are optional and can be turned off in the configuration menu.
  

For further details, see the included modders guide.

A short description of what each file does. The patches have to be loaded
after their respective main files!
