===============

Version 0.9:

- Revamped all plugins to share the M.M.A.T logo. Incooperated all additions into a single core.esm file. Most of the new modules do the same as the old ones. The GMST module incooperates all
tweaks in a single plugin. The CORE module incooperates EasyConsoleCommands, HotkeyRebind, Perks&Traits, CreatureAdditions, ImprovedBinoculars, KDS Backpacks and SlowerBackwardsSpeed.
- Made a little quest to obtain the Source Shack from Brian.
- Skill progression now is even harder.
- Merged the stronger light and pitch black night plugins into the new one. The light is pretty useless without darker nights and vice versa.
- Weapons can now only be repaired on workbenchs and campfires. You also need the right materials to repair weapons. Armors will follow in next version.
- Weapon degration lowers with increasing repair skill.
- You can now sort items in containers when looking at the container and press the "Space" button.
- Integrated KDStudios backpacks.

===============
[size="3"]Description:[/size]
===============

This is basically just another "big overhaul mod" that started with some simple changes to game settings and will add more elements in future versions. Other then a lot of overhaul mods, this one
comes modular, with single files, so you can use them with your preference. The intention of the modular plugins is not more realism. The real world is realistic, games can't be realistic.

===============
[size="3"]Keys:[/size]
===============

New keysettings are:

M.M.A.T - Shader Module.esp:

Turn on Vision mode = Backspace
Cycle mode backward = -
Cycle mode forward = =
Cycle Submode = 0
Battery Menu = \

M.M.A.T - Core Module.esp:

Hotkeys 1-7 = NumPad 1-7

Toggle Menus = NumPad 8
Toggle Collision = NumPad 9
Toggle Menu + Toggle Fly Camera = NumPad /
Toggle camera mode (Toggle Menu + Toggle Fly Camera + Change View) = NumPad *

M.M.A.T - Quest&Gameplay Module

Sort items into containers = Space

===============
[size="3"]Requirements:[/size]
===============

Fallout New Vegas Patch 1.2 (you get it automatically via Steam)
Fallout New Vegas Script Extender
Wrye Flash NV
Lucy Blues Thermal Vision Mod (if you plan to use the headwearshader plugin)

===============
[size="3"]Install:[/size]
===============

!!!I know the next steps are complicated for new users, but they are necessary if you plan to use all features of this mod.!!!

1. Extract the files from the archive to a place of your choice.
2. Copy the files you want use to "Steam\Steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\". Delete or preserve the others.
3. In order to enable all features you need to readjust your load order with BOSS(automatic)
andWrye Flash NV(manuall).
4. Now use Wrye Flash NV to create a bashed patch and merge anything into the patch thats been suggested and use the following "tag suggestions" settings: (look in the lower right corner of WFNV to
tag plugins)

M.M.A.T - Weapon Module.esp Bash tags = Stats
M.M.A.T - Shader Module.esp Bash tags = Scripts, Stats
M.M.A.T - Loot Module.esp Bash tags = Invent
M.M.A.T - Ingestible Module.esp Bash tags = Stats
M.M.A.T - Companion Module.esp Bash tags = Actors.AIPAckages

5. Make sure that the "M.M.A.T - Weapon Module.esp" and "M.M.A.T - Shader Module.esp" plugin are loaded before the "M.M.A.T Repair Module.esp" plugin.
6. You can always recreate the bashed patch without problems and it will minimize or entirely erase all conflicts. See the screenshots for an example of my load order and tag suggestions.
7. Use manual version of this tool, to enable archive invalidation. For now changes must be applied to Fallout_default.ini located
in New Vegas game folder, rather then FalloutPrefs.ini.
8. Start your game, have fun.

- In order to see the new creature additions, you'll have to wait at least 12 ingame hours.
- If you want the NPC markers turned on again, use the optional .dds in "NPCMarkerEnabled".

===============
[size="3"]Upgrading:[/size]
===============

I recommend to start a new game, but if you want to try your luck, do this:

1. Follow installation steps above.
2. If your upgrading from a previous version, delete the old files and use the new ones.
3. Get into game and load a savegame. Find a interior cell and save.
4. Exit New Vegas, start again and load the save then play.

===============
[size="3"]Un-Install:[/size]
===============

1. Start Fallout 3 Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp files.
2. Delete the files/folders associated with this mod.

===============
[size="3"]Compatibility:[/size]
===============

Is incompatible with anything that does similar changes. Use Wrye Flash to make it compatible, which indeed is possible if you do it right.

===============
[size="3"]Bugs/Issues:[/size]
===============

Since I don't have the time to test anything, there could be some minor bugs, dunno, please let me know if you find any. Most features are tested to work 100%.

===============
[size="3"]History:[/size]
===============

0.1 23.10.2010 - Initial Release:

- Adjustet fJumpHeightMin 0.64 to 0.96, making it 1.5x higher.
- Adjustet iLevelsPerPerk 2 to 1, so you get a perk at every level up.
- Adjustet iMaxCharacterLevel 30 to 99, maximum level now 99.
- Adjustet all iXPLevel and iXPReward to give you 4-5x less experiences points, quests give the vanilla experience points.
- Deleted the onscreen text on sSneakCaution, sSneakDanger, aSneakDetected, sSneakHidden.
- Put anything into seperate plugins.

0.2 24.10.2010:

- Added new custom shaders and new script for sunglasses.
- Added and modified slower backwards speed script by DarthTim.
- Modified the weight of most clutter items to be more "realistic", they are overall lighter now, while some have been given more weight.

0.3 30.10.2010:

- Adjustet the weather data for nights, to show darker nights then anything else I've seen so far.
- Adjustet the pipboy light to shine brighter and in green light.
- Fixed German names and text in various entries.
- Raised the "no find" chance of leveled items and loot to at least 75 in every category.
- Theres a low chance to find new items in loot, like books, magazines, medicine, ammo parts and animal parts
- Set most containers to respawn.
- Removed the POI, Quest and NPC markers directly from the "interfaceshared0.dds".
- Removed the crosshair inside of "interfaceshared0.dds". crosshair only shows above containers, NPCs etc..
- Adjustet all food and drink items to not heal you anylonger. Some will now restore starvation/dehydration instead of health.
- Adjustet Companion Packages, so they use different idle animations and stances and also actually do something when they lurk around.

0.4 07.11.2010:

- Improved zoom on Binoculars (FOV 12) and enabled night vision (same as nightvision scope).
- Remade the headwearshader plugin. Is now dependend on @Lucy Blues "ThermalVision.esm". Modified all vision types and added some new sounds.
- Improved the pipboy light (magnitude 65, range 5.000), cateye and nightvision scope. Should work much better now with pitch black mod.
- Fixed dozens of German names in misc and food sections. Sorry must have missed this the last time.
- Fixed floating statics bugs: 2 Rocks north of prison, plant north of GS Cemetery, plant at GS water source near fireplace, plant west of Yangtse memorial, rocks NW of plane near Nipton.
- Made a player owned shack. Inside is bed, purified sink, chemistry set, workbench and rerloading bench. Fireplace is outside the door. Shack will be improved and decorated in future versions.
- Made a crossrepair plugin from the scratch. You can now use almost anything for repair. May also be adjustet and made more complex in future versions.
- Canged some scripts to allow companions to wear stuff you give them. Original idea came from @Les_Punk dressup mod, which conflicted with my own companion plugin.
- Changed all weapons without scope to no longer zoom. Needs more testing. Is the only change I didn't extensively tested yet.

0.5 14.11.2010:

- Updated all plugins to New Vegas patch 1.2
- Fixed several Bugs: Floating rock at Black Rock Cave, ground static rock south of hidden valley bunker, a skelett with items southeast of Goddsprings, a Rock at gibson shack near helios, rock at
Highway95 Vipers Encampement, rock southeast of Ranger Station, floor plate inside dino shop in Novac, rock western corner of test facillity, rock north of legion camp.
- Doc Mitchell now owns his house and anything inside, so you can't loot all his stuff at game start (interiors/GSDocMitchellsShack owner).
- All food&drink items now have a base radiation of 5, irriadiated food&drink now has base radiation of 10.
- Purified water now drains health to simulate the chemicals that are needed to purifie the water.
- The radiation value of food&drink items now depend on your survival skill. The higher your skill the lower the radiation on the item is. This simulates that players with high survival skill are
more resistant to radiation in food&drinks. The radiation level also depends on your medicine skill, so difference might occur(Vanilla).

Works like followed:

Example food:

base radiation value of 5 if 25 survival skill
base radiation value of 4 if >= 25 survival skill
base radiation value of 3 if >= 50 survival skill
base radiation value of 2 if >= 75 survival skill
base radiation value of 1 if >= 100 survival skill

to vision modes and added sound when switching modes.

fBarterBuyBase 1.55 -> 3.10
