*update Fel 11 2009: Added TanklessShishkabab.esp to the zip. Add it to your data directory if you'd like to remove the tank from the dropped shishkabab as well as the equipped kebab.
*update Nov 2 2009: Edited the esp to remove the oven glove, now that I got around to learning how. Have also made it so that it will not remove any player equipped backpacks when equipping the sword.

I've never been very fond of the big motorcycle tank on your back when using the shishkabab, especially since there is nothing connecting it to the sword.

So... I've ditched the tank for the player equipped model. It still shows up when you drop it (as removing the tank removed the entire sword when I tried) though.

I had tried replacing the petrol tank by turning a fire extinguisher horizontally, placing it on the lower back, and then deforming it so it didn't stick out so far on the sides, but it crashed the game when I equipped it. (If anyone out there knows how to do that, please feel free to one up me on this.)


Installation:

Simply place the shishkabab.nif into your Data/meshes/weapons/1handmelee folder and drop the tanklessshishkabab.esp file into your data directory, no txt file needed, though you do want to make sure that you go to your My Documents\My Games\Fallout 3 folder and edit your FALLOUT.INI file. Using ctrl+F find the line bInvalidateOlderFiles=0 and change the 0 at the end to a 1, like so: bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 Then save and exit.

Uninstallation:
Go to your Data/meshes/weapons/1handmelee folder, delete the shishkabab.nif file and uncheck and delete the tankless shishkabab esp.

EzPz lemon squeezy.
