Description
===========
Ever wished you could earn achievements and use FOSE at the same time? Now you can! Achievements for All keeps track of your achievements when you're not logged into Games for Windows Live, and then turns them in for offical credit the next time you log on.
Details
=======
One of the most common complaints about FOSE (Fallout Script Extender) is that you can't earn achievements with it. This is because FOSE is incompatible with Games for Windows Live, and so in order to use one, you must disable the other. Achievements for All is designed to address that complaint.
Note that this release is for the original 50 (minus one) achievements ONLY. Addon packs for the DLC are coming soon.
Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Fallout 3\Data\
4. Start Fallout Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).
Usage Instructions
==================
Play the game with FOSE and this mod active. Whenever you earn an achievement an ingame popup will appear telling you what you did. When you want to get official credit for your achievements, you'll need to transfer your savegame over to your GFW profile. Go to /My Documents/My Games/Fallout3/Saves/ and copy your latest save to the folder named after your gamertag. Next, start Fallout 3 with GFW Live enabled, load the save and watch the achievements roll in. Finally, save the game again and copy it back to where it was originally. The last step isn't absolutely necessary, but if you don't do it there will be a delay of up to 4 minutes the next time you turn in your achievements, because the mod will try to turn in every achievement you've already unlocked, wasting 5 seconds for each one.
Uninstall
=========
1. Start Fallout Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
The achievement for Take it Back! can't be tracked by the mod, as it's awarded at the instant before the game plays the ending cutscene and then dumps you to the main menu. To get credit for it keep a save right before the very end, then load it up and beat the game while logged into GFW - OR - wait for the Broken Steel addon to this mod.
