Title: Gunman's Mod
Description: Weapons mod for Doom3: Resurrection of Evil
Author: Branislav "Gunman" Jovanovich
Filename: gunman_mod_v1.zip
Version: 1.0
Date completed: September 14th 2008.
Official release date: October 3rd 2008.
Contact: gunman-productions AT hotmail.com

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

This mod also includes:
* Alt-Fire for most weapons (also added an alt-fire keybind option in the mainmenu)
* TheRealSceneGraphManager's excellent Chromatic Dispersion Special FX shader
* Some new fonts for guis
* Custom HUD
* Bossbar! (now when you face a boss, the bossbar will appear on the HUD so you can
know exactly how much health does the boss have)
* Some tweaked D3 and D3XP maps for the bossbar feature to work
* Increased player's health, armor and maximum ammo limit
* Player can absorb 5 instead of 3 souls for the artifact
* Everlasting decals (bloodsplats, bulletholes, etc-)
* Everlasting brass (ejected brass does not disappear)
* Some additional custom sounds
* New intro screen

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

DEVELOPER'S IMPORTANT NOTE: This mod requires Resurrection of Evil and 1.3 patch
in order to work! (Patch 1.3 only! Recently when I tried running this mod along with
1.3.1 patch the mod couldn't load! Instead, it crashed with a message "Wrong Game
DLL API version.")
Also, the autoexec.cfg file (supplied in this mod) is needed for the mod to work!

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

Install & play: Extract all files to your Doom3 directory (not base nor d3xp!),
run via supplied gunman_mod.bat file (found in the gunman_mod directory) and have fun!
Uninstall: Delete gunman_mod directory, simple as that! :)

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

WEAPON CHANGES:

* Grabber
No alt-fire, new textures, has new sounds, new angle, removed the warp effect when
holding the object, grabber can hold objects pretty long due to the cvar change
entered in the autoexec.cfg file (you can still add new entries in this .cfg file,
just don't modify the existing cvars (namely: g_grabberHoldSeconds 100000000,
g_grabberEnableShake 0, and g_grabberRandomMotion 0 ) ).

* Fists
New sounds
Primary fire: left arm punch
Alt-Fire: right arm punch

* Pistol
Has new sounds, new texture and new angle
Primary fire: semi-auto shot (to shoot again, press LMB again)
Alt-Fire: 6 bullet burst shot

* Shotgun
Custom sounds, attached flashlight, no pump action (exept when reloading),
clip size 10 and tweaked texture
Primary fire: semi-auto shot (to shoot again, press LMB again)
Alt-Fire: launches several bouncing projectiles with bigger damage, can be used for
firing around corners

* Double Barrel Shotgun
Tweaked sounds a bit and attached flashlight
Primary fire: fires one shell at the time with a tighter spread (now you can fire
this baby twice in a row :) )
Alt-Fire: fires both shells at the same time with a bit wider spread

* Machinegun
Tweaked sounds, also attached a flashlight to it, clip size is 80, new texture
Primary fire: standard shot with a low spread, moderate firerate
Alt-Fire: faster firerate with a wider spread

* Chaingun
New sounds, new gui, faster firerate, continuous fire (no need to reload),
no alt-fire (yet, I'm still looking for some evil inspiration *muhahaha* )

* Grenades
Custom explosion particle effect, tweaked sounds a bit, added a new animation
Quick throw: drops a proximity mine which can be detonated using the RELOAD key
(Beware, if you approach the thrown proximity mine too close it will explode in
your face, causing you to lose some of your health! So be careful where you throw it)
Longer throw: throws a grenade that explodes on impact
Alt-Throw: throws a homing (guided, for that matter) grenade which will explode at
the nearest enemy

* Plasma Rifle
New gui, tweaked textures, clip size 100, new angle
Primary fire: standard rapid fire at high rate
Alt-Fire: launches a group of more powerful projectiles at wide spread, sorta like a
plasma shotgun :) (watch out as it utilizes slightly more ammo!)

* Rocket Launcher
Tweaked textures, new sounds, custom explosion particle effect and a new angle
Primary fire: standard issue rocket
Alt-Fire: launches a grenade that will explode after a few seconds (sorta like a
grenade launcher from Quake4)

* BFG-9000
New texture, tweaked reload animation, new sounds, clip size 8, you can now hold the
trigger a few seconds longer (4 seconds is good, but 5 is not really recommended).
Primary fire: just like the old bfg, a projectile which damages nearby enemies and
explodes on impact, only with a changed color of a projectile itself
Alt-Fire: DON'T FIRE THIS TOO CLOSE TO YOURSELF! Alt-fire is a powerful electrical
discharge that will most likely kill everyone in the close radius of its blastpoint,
use caution!

* Chainsaw
This mod also includes the chainsaw! >:D
Attached a light to it so you can see what monster you are bone-chopping!

* Artifact
New sounds, tweaked anims, hell-time lasts longer, artifact can now absorb up to 5
instead of just 3 souls

haven't been looking directly at the player.
- When BFG overcharges, it explodes but it does not inflict any self-damage.

to plasma gun instead (for no reason).
