RFG_Madmod for Red Faction: Guerrilla

\Description/
Madmod is a large overhaul mod for the PC version of Red Faction: Guerrilla along with it's remastered version that aims to make the game a much better experience. It affects both the gameplay and visuals and also greatly extends the length of the main campaign. Starting a new game is required for all changes of this mod to properly take effect. This mod is most likely to be incompatible with other mod manager mods and does not affect the dlc.

\Initial release changes/
(Reverted)-Small 3d items like dropped weapons or empty clips will never despawn. This will inevitably cause strange things to happen but I haven't had it cause crashes so that's good. Loading a save will despawn them and fix the issue.
-Increased amount of EDF control for all sectors to force players to partake in many more guerrilla activities per sector and makes the overall game a much longer experience.
-Npcs on the same team can not damage each other. Prevents horde’s from accidentally killing their own people during combat. Players can still kill npcs.
-Major improvements to the way explosions are handled. Explosions will blast away any structure with ease including those pesky steel beams.
-Tweaks to alert_level.xtbl. To lose alert level either hide for a minute or drive far away from the crime scene.

\Installation/
This mod is made to work with RFG Mod Manager. To install you'll first need to download the Mod Manager for RFG which can be found at (Factionfiles.com) Use the readme in the Mod Manager download to read up on how to use it. Only the Mod Manager for the original RFG has the readme which is a bit inconvenient. When you are done with that, depending on which version of RFG you're gonna use, navigate to either the Classic or Remaster directory and copy the entire Madmod_v0.9.1 directory into the mods folder of Mod Manager. At this point you should be able to use Mod Manager to install the mod.

\Issues/
-Some guerrilla activities are locked behind missions so if you are unable to get sector control to zero then try completing the missions. Other activities may also need low sector control before showing up.
-Player animations not working on classic RFG until you change weapons.
