MY MISSION STATEMENT:
"Introducing the next generation of gamers to WASTELAND: the spiritual predecessor to the Fallout series... one mod at a time!"


Description
===========

For those of you who love the original WASTELAND just as much as I do, then this gun is for you!

From the Wasteland Player's Manual:
"Created in the image of the legendary AK-47, the AK-97 was the latest in the assault rifle line. It was created for the Comintern Combine nations of Europe and Africa, but saw large distribution throughout the world before the war. It is chambered for 7.62mm ammo (.308 cal) and fires from a 30-bullet clip. This highly-respected weapon is fairly commonplace."

Location
========

The AK-97 Assault Rifle is a replacement for the Xuanlong Assault Rifle. It's still found on Prime's body. As a bonus, Prime's Loot Table has been modified to add 35 rounds of .308 ammo for this weapon.

Details
=======

The AK-97 fires .308 rounds instead of 5.56mm. A .308 round roughly equates to a 7.62mm round. Although not an exact match in the real world, as far as gameplay goes I didn't want to create a whole new round for this rifle and instead decided to use a suitable in-game replacement for it.

It also looks like Prime may have added extensive modifications to this particular AK-97 of his. One version of this mod comes with a useable scope, and the traditional banana clip has been swapped out with a 75-round watermelon clip (drum) as well. The other version comes with a useable scope, and the traditional banana clip.


The AK-97 model/texture is based off of Krazz's brilliant AK-47 model, which I got from here:
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1557

Basically, his mod adds a unique AK-47 to the game.
Mine replaces the Xuanlong with an AK-97, has a new texture, exchanges the clip for the drum, and fires .308 ammo.


Install
=======

1. Simply extract the DATA info in this download to your Fallout 3's DATA directory. Overwrite everything.

2. Either use the ArchiveInvalidation.txt file provided, or copy/paste the contests of the included ArchiveInvalidation.txt to your own file.

3. Choose only ONE of the following ESP files: AK-97 Assault Rifle.esp or AK-97 Assault Rifle-Clip Version, and fire up the game.


NOTE: I highly recommend using Quazzy's ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated and never worry about Archive Invalidation files ever again!

Incompatibility
===============

This mod will interefere with any mods that modify the Xuanlong Assault Rifle or Prime's Loot Table.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================

When reloading, the drum or banana clip does not drop from the gun like it should. If you are good at modding NIF files and/or animations, I would greatly appreciate some help with this!
