Name: The Weapon Mod Menu
Author: Pelinor
Version: 1.1
Download: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=44515
Last Modified: Nov. 10, 2011

===============
Description:
===============

Provides a new weapon modification menu for adding/removing weapon mods.

===============
Details:
===============

The Weapon Mod Menu replaces the existing menu when choosing to "Mod" a weapon in the PipBoy. You use it by pressing "X" as you normally would to open the mod menu.

There are four main features added by The Weapon Mod Menu:
-Removal of attached weapon mods
-Specific information on the amount of improvement each mod gives
-Information about all of the weapon's mods, even if you don't own any of them
-The number of available mods in your inventory


A very special thanks goes to schlangster, who created the new NVSE functions that make this mod possible.

F.A.Q.:
===============

Q. Does this mod work with WME, WMX, or others that add weapon mods?
A. Yes. This mod was designed to be universal and apply to any weapon that can be modified without needing compatibility patches.

Q. Does this mod work with DarNified UI fonts?
A. Yes. The menu will check for DarN fonts and adapt accordingly.

Q. Why does my game crash when trying to mod a certain weapon?
A1. This can happen (even without this mod) when you try to mod a weapon that uses mods from a plugin that is no longer in your load order. Remove any weapon mods added by WME, WMX, etc. from weapons before disusing those plugins.
A2. This can also happen if you have an error in the weapon form. Load your mods with FNVEdit and look for any errors in the weapon. One or more of the weapon's mods could be trying to use invalid FormIDs.

Q. Why am I told a weapon "cannot be modified" even though I know it can?
A. See the answer above to crashing when modifying certain weapons.

Q. Does this mod have controller support?
A. Yes, although with limited functionality. You will be able to modify your equipped weapon if you press "X" on your keyboard, which works even when using a controller. You can close the menu with the "E" or "X" keys.

Q. Why can I not interact with any mods that are grey?
A. This happens when you don't have any of the mod items in your inventory. You will be able to see the mod information, but not interact with them.

Q. Why does my character equip the weapon every time I want to modify it?
A. The unique nature of the weapon mod functions requires the weapon to be equipped for them to work. It is also necessary to re-equip any equipped weapons after modding so the weapon model is updated.

Q. I deactivated The Weapon Mod Menu, so why can't I use "X" to mod weapons like before?
A. You need to uninstall The Weapon Mod Menu to return to using the default menu. The menu files are altered to prevent the default menu from opening when the new one is open.

Q. I am told to update NVSE. Where do I get it?
A. http://nvse.silverlock.org is where you will find the NVSE download. If the version you see on the website is not 2 beta 12 or higher, you will need to clear the browser cache and refresh the page. Ctrl+F5 will do this for most browsers.

Q. Do you have plans for future updates?
A. Not at the moment. I will consider requests/suggestions, though.

===============
Compatibility:
===============

There is a problem with FOOK 0.80's "Repair In Combat" feature that prevents The Weapon Mod Menu from working when you press the "X" key. You can get around the issue by going into the MCM options for FOOK and enable the "Repair In Combat" option. If it's already set to enabled, disable and enable it again. Then save your game, quit to desktop, and it should work when you load the save again.
No other compatibility issues are known or expected.

===============
History:
===============

1.1 - Added detection for reversed mouse buttons; added "Reverse Mouse Buttons" MCM option; center text if mod type is None; made PCShortcutLabel visible if using controller; added version info to NVSE warning
