BACKGROUND:
===========

Because of some significant and other differences between Borderlands and Fallout 4, some
changes have been made to how weapons work and are spawned.

Where available, most weapon stats have been taken directly from the modding resources and
wiki, and revolvers in Fallout 4 more or less accurately reflect their counterparts in the
first Borderlands game, including naming convention.

For more information about what a weapon's name means, visit:

http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons_by_prefix_(Borderlands)
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons_by_title

The significant changes are as follows:
---------------------------------------

- Prefixes and titles no longer are applied after a weapon is first spawned. Instead, the
requirements for meeting certain prefixes and titles have been artificially supplied at the
time a weapon spawns with whichever applicable prefix and/or title.

- Since the player can swap out almost all of a gun's parts at a weapon bench, most of these
rules get thrown out the window anyway. However, true to form, Jakobs never manufacturers
guns that deal energy damage, and Maliwan only provides energy weapons. What the player does
after that is his business. Different legendary mods should also be swappable, in theory.

- A large change is how proc rates and naming works, and how it's based on Tech Level. Just
as in Borderlands, a gun's Tech Level determines its chance to apply elemental (or energy)
damage. However, a weapon's prefix for each elemental damage type does not reflect this.

- The reason for this is how weapons are named in Fallout 4, which is based on keywords that
certain weapon parts and modifications add, explicitly. A weapon cannot be named based on
how accurate it is, but if a mod that increases accuracy is present. So, a weapon cannot be
named based on its Tech Pool or Tech Level, but only if something is present or not that
tells the game that this weapon 'has a high Tech level,' which it may not actually have.
Instead of being relegated to meaningless, therefore weapon prefixes for elemental damage
have been turned into a new stat, a 'Tech Grade' which is used in conjunction with Tech Level
to determine Proc Rate.

- Since the player can swap out parts at a weapon bench, it would be very easy to jump right
to making every gun have an equivalent x4 Proc Rate. Tech Grade limits this by putting a
condition on Proc Rate that the equivalent Tech Level for each Tech Grade must be met. A
gun that spawns with a lvl 1 Tech Grade will only ever proc at x1. This does not mean that
increasing Tech Level is futile, however since in Fallout 4, Tech Level is directly related
to the bonus energy damage which appears on a weapon card. Tech level is multiplied based
on energy damage multipliers for each type as in Borderlands. (Cryo is 0.8x)

- Proc Rate itself works a little differently. There is no Tech Pool or cost. Perhaps in a
later version, some similar system can be devised, but for now, each equivalent proc rate
simply has a flat % chance associated with it. A x4 Tech Grade gun with a requisite Tech
Level will proc at all levels, with larger, more powerful procs occuring less frequently
than lower ones.

- There is no 'corrosive' damage in Fallout 4. Instead, corrosive type guns deal poison
damage. This is probably not very effective against armored enemies as corrosive guns are.
In fact, the way the game handles and implements different energy damage types and
resistances is entirely different, and really beyond the present scope of this mod to try
and balance for BL-type elemental damages (for now).

- The Equalizer regenerates ammo based on Tech Level and at a much, much reduced rate.
Fallout 4 is after all more of an RPG and survival-based game than Borderlands, and something
that prints free money is quite game-breaking.

- Obviously, S&S, Torgue, Hyperion & Vladof never manufactured revolvers.

- The color grading/rarity system is based directly on the value of each weapon, and value is
more or less a comprehensive sum of the positive/negative stats for each part. It's not nearly
as robust, but it works.

INSTALLATION:
=============

After downloading BLGUNS and installing the archive to the Fallout 4 data folder manually
or through using NMM and activating BLGUNS.esp in your load order, the player will be
notified that the mod has been installed and will have received a new holotape, the
ECHO PCD. The ECHO PCD is used to uninstall and re-install/update versions of BLGUNS. It
is also used to enable BLGUNS's optional features like showing rarity grades on weapons
and enabling Lootsplosions.

Read the help database in the ECHO PCD to find out more.

KNOWN ISSUES:
=============

- Parts of guns that glow sometimes sort of don't, and it seems to be totally
inconsistent with what materials or parts a gun can have.

- Healing effect for the Sickle legendary does not work. This will be fixed.

- 2-shot and 3-shot cylinders seem to cause trouble for reloading mid-attack in VATS.
