New reduced load distribution method (modders using v2 will need to revise scr ipts) 12/24/2010: Updated Mod to include excalibr resources from FO3 12/12/2010: 14 new calibers added (see activate caliber list below) INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODDERS ========================== While FalloutNV introduced (or expanded upon) the concept of ammo lists, mod aut hors who create weapons in non-standard calibers still require a resource to sha re between each other so that multiple mods don't end up introducing several ty pes of the same caliber, all of which are incompatible with each other. Caliber for Fallout NV accomplishes this task. Caliber for NV also includes a system that will help you distribute ammunition f or your weapons throughout the wasteland, simply by issuing a startquest command . The first time a player opens the game with your mod, it will distribute the a ppropriate ammunition to all vendor and loot lists! NOTE: The activation method has changed from earlier releases. PLEASE READ BEL OW! Here is a step by step guide to follow: #1: Add Caliber.esm as a master to your mod. #2: Add a quest named CaliberStartup{YourModName}Quest So if your mod is called BigGameRifles, name your quest: "CaliberStartupBigGameR iflesQuest". #3: Set this quest to start when the game starts, check to use the default scrip t processing delay, and set a priority of 60 (or higher). When done, "OK" out o f the quest - leave the script blank for now.. #4: Create a new script. Here's an example for the fictitious BigGameRifles mod which will activate 416 Barrett and 338 Lapua Magnum. Use your own script name and reference the list below for tyhe specific quests you need: scn CaliberStartupBigGameRiflesQuestScript begin gamemode Startquest CaliberActivateQuest338Lapua Startquest CaliberActivateQuest416Barrett Stopquest CaliberStartupBigGameRiflesQuest end #5: Change the drop down at the top of the script editor to "Quest", and save th e script. #6: Reopen the quest you created earlier CaliberStartupBigGameRiflesQuest. Sele ct your script from the script dropdown. Make sure "Start game Enabled" is stil l checked! #7: Hit save.

#8: Set your weapon(s) to use the appropriate ammo list(s), shell casings, and p rojectile resources. That's all there is to it. Caliber.esm activate quests take care of distributio n and then shut themselves down. If the ammo has already been activated by anot her mod, scripts detect this and simply shut down. When the game starts, if you did everything right, you will see a message saying "Caliber Added: xxxx" shortly after the game starts. This means the caliber h as been distributed to vendors and loot lists. Loot is immediate, vendors will need to respawn so it will take about 3 game days before players can buy that ty pe of ammo. WHY IS IT DONE THIS WAY??? ========================== This method will avoid multiple weapons mods from having to distribute custom am mo on their own, reducing the need for players to build merge modules to make mo ds compatible with one another. In essense, Caliber becomes the "vendor and loot distribution management system" for new calibers added to New Vegas. Any mod can turn on any calibers, but eac h caliber will only be turned on and distributed ONCE for any game installation, based on the weapons mods they have installed. GLOBAL VARIABLE LIST ========================== CaliberVersion - Is the current version of the caliber mod installed. Your mod can check this if necessary and issue warnings to the player to upgrade. AAmmo - Is a global short referenced by all new vendor ammo lists. It can be us ed to set general availability of new rounds. Default is Change None == 0.

To do so would defeat the whole purpose of modders sha ring the same resource, and would run the substantial risk of your mod being ren dered incompatible. It would also make me, and others, who have worked so hard on it quite upset. :) NEVER override any Caliber*** quests or scripts in your mod! Ever! You *may* add new ammo variants, but do it IN YOUR MOD to ensure maximum compat ibility between all weapons mods! If you want to request a new ammunition type or caliber, contact FluidFire or Earache42. You *may NOT* re-upload Caliber.esm to another website. Please direct players t o NewVegasNexus to download the most current version of Caliber. This way if th ere are updates you don't screw up someone else's mod that is using a newer vers ion! I _strongly_ discourage including it with your particular mod, UNLESS you do it in an installation program that detects if a newer version is installed prior to copying the ESM in to the data directory. CONTACTING THE AUTHORS ========================== If you want to request a new caliber to be added to the library, or run in to pr oblems using this modding resource, you can contact FluidFire via e-mail ( trent [at] liberationsoft.com ) or on newvegasnexus.com, or Earache42 on newvegasnexu s.com. Uninstalling: ========================== This works like any DLC. If you want to remove Caliber and return to vanilla ex perience, remove it from the load order. Installation: ========================== Unpack the contents of the data folder in the archive file into the data directo ry of your game. The BSA and ESM files must be in your \data directory. Positio n the Caliber.ESM at the top of your load order after FalloutNV.esm (and any DLC ), using FOMM and activate. required: --------\meshes \Textures Caliber.esm caliberX.BSA

Shells and Slugs: ========================== * Expanded library of hi-res bullets pre-assigned to projectile data. * Expanded library of hi-res shell casings. * BSA packed resources reduces clutter when selecting casings.

Extra bang for extre mely large bore rifles and hand cannons. * All projectiles set "pass through small invisible" so you can shoot throug h things like chain link fences. * Velocity, range and impact force scale up with cartridge size. * 40mm and 25mm grenades have gravity and low velocity for ballistic type tr ajectory. -----------------------------------------------------------Light P.Cal.
