3. GAME CHANGES
Adds detail to The Chop Shop back area, properly restores access to that
area and restores cut terminal entries.
While the Updated Unofficial Patch provides access to the back area of The
Chop Shop, there's lingering mistakes with the cut terminal entries and the
back area remains unfinished.
The back area is now more detailed with clutter, has lighting, an
"air-lock" type door arrangement, and the Glowing Ones Ethyl and Meat now
become aggressive when the player goes back there.
The terminal entry names are abbreviated to simply "Entry 01" to "Entry 3"
as the original, longer names were truncated by the Terminal screen.
Fixed some bad writing and grammatical mistakes in the Terminal entries and
restored them to the Terminal.
4. RATIONALE
It does appear that the back area to The Chop Shop was intended to be
accessible as there is a safe there (Doctor Barrows probably used Ethyl and
Meat as guards as well as test-subjects), and the Glowing Ones have names
which the player can't discover normally.
Doctor Barrow's terminal is accessible, but does nothing when actually
accessed.
5. UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Delete the file “JXPTheChopShopCutContentAndFixes.esp”. The mod is now
uninstalled.
6. CHANGELOG
0.1.0
Initial commit.
Finished back area.
Corrected cut terminal entries and fixed terminal problems.
Made Ethyl and Meat Foolhardy instead of cowardly and scripted them to
attack the player when the back area "air-lock" is opened up.
1.0.0
Updated ESP description.
Fixed documentation syntax.
