WARNING! :)
==========
NOTE: Now you can use a fix.

Little DELAYS when entering menus (i.e. barter) MAY appear because of new textures. Standard menus have very simple structure and light-weight textures. And when game loads my full-featured textures in real-time without caching... delay happens.

Speed will *probably* increase when some kind of module packs creator would appear. But now all "as is".

And about buttons. Buttons was made with stock, bigger than text on them. Active area, which presses the button, is the same as text width. So pressing the button means pressing the text, not the borders of button. Later i'll try to fix the problem, but now it's low priority problem.


Install
=======
1. Backup your ingame menus, if a folder exists - Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\*menus*!
2. Extract this archive to your Fallout Data folder. The Data folder can be found under the directory where you installed Fallout.
3. Start the game.


Uninstall
=========
If you didn't install other GUI changing mods, all you need is to remove both folders "menus" and "Textures" in Fallout Data folder!

If you installed other GUI changing mods or you are unsure, just remove following files from Fallout Data folder:

Data\menus\barter_menu.xml
Data\menus\container_menu.xml
Data\menus\message_menu.xml
Data\menus\message_menu0_w-buttons.xml
Data\menus\quantity_menu.xml
Data\menus\recipe_menu.xml
Data\menus\repair_services_menu.xml
Data\menus\sleep_wait_menu.xml
Data\menus\tutorial_menu.xml

Data\menus\prefabs\list_box.xml
+
Data\menus\prefabs\REVELATION_***.xml (all REVELATION_ files in this folder)
Data\Textures\Interface\Revelation\*.* (all files in this folder)


Incompatibilities
=================
There are some possible bugs on low resolutions (1024x768 and 800x600 especially). :)

Some text labels in not english or russian Fallout New Vegas versions can get out their places. It may happen 'cause different word translations may differ in letters count. I'm trying to leave a reserve in text fields but nothing is unlimited. ;)
