Description:

*************************************************************

:Squadmate Update:

Lock and Load these custom "Doom3" weapons to "Allied Marine Squadmates v.7.1.ufo" or use as a "Stand-Alone" mod as well!

The "=AMS= Real Weapons XP." Mod adds the "real" Plasmagun, Chaingun, Rocketlauncher and BFG models to the =AMS= Marines.

In the previous versions of the "Allied Marine Squadmates" these weapons were represented through the use of the standard Machinegun model and skin. With some successful tweaking and changing of the =AMS= Marines model skin, the "real" weapons
were successfully added to the =AMS= Marines! I would like to thank Project Contributor: Donald E. Flood for his help in attaching the Plasmagun and setting this new mod build in motion! After attaching the Plasmagun model, I decided to tackle and manipulate the other weapons as well! The Chaingun, Rocketlauncher and BFG models are now added to the =AMS= Marines and includes 24 new =AMS= Marines outfitted with these weapons for your spawn-in enjoyment! The new weapons =AMS= Marines offered here will not over-ride or replace the original =AMS= Marines. They are still available with the machinegun model if for some reason you wanted to keep them! I have attached these weapons to the new =AMS= Marines as best I can and even
though some are not a perfect fit, I'm satisfied with the overall outcome of this new alternative spawn-in option now made available to you! So upgrade your =AMS= Marines! Lock and Load "=AMS= Real Weapons XP."... Trust me, it's the "Real" deal!

..Good Luck and Enjoy! = Murph =

The "=AMS= Real Weapons XP." Mod adds the "real" Plasmagun, Chaingun, Rocketlauncher and BFG models to the =AMS= Marines.

Original intentions for this new mod build was based off of "=UAC= BFG: Campbell" and was intended to add the Machinegun model with alternate projectiles! While in the middle of a new =AMS= XP. mod build, Project Contributor Donald E. Flood
sent me his rough draft idea on how to add the "Doom3" Plasmagun model to the marines. In the previous versions of the "Allied Marine Squadmates" these weapons were represented through the use of the Machinegun model and skin. Don's early
attempts had the Plasmagun model poking out of the marines chest. With some more tweaking on my end and the changing of the =AMS= Marines model skin, the "real" Plasmagun model was successfully added to the =AMS= Marine! After attaching the
Plasmagun model, I decided to tackle and manipulate the other weapons as well! The Chaingun, Rocketlauncher and the BFG models are now added to the =AMS= Marines for your spawn-in enjoyment! I have attached these weapons as best I can and
even though some are not a perfect fit, I'm satisfied with the overall outcome and this new alternative spawn-in option.

The Chaingun and Rocketlauncher are attached to the Shotgun Marine model and the Plasmagun and the BFG are attached to the Machinegun Marine model.The Rocketlauncher and the Plasmagun are pretty good attachments in look and operation. The Chaingun attachment is a bit of a compromise, as a little sacrificing was needed in the way that it operates when fired. The BFG or "Baby BFG" as I call it, is attached in such a way as to make it appear a bit smaller and less massive. Once fired, you'll see the "Baby BFG" has been set up to be in "NPC Safe" mode by me, as oppossed to the "Kills All NPC" mode!

I have decided to split this mod into two seperate mod offerings, as there is enough new material to do so! The original mod build is based off of the "=UAC= BFG: Campbell" model, to be released soon, labeled as "=AMS= Thunderbolt Squad XP."
With the "=AMS= Real Weapons XP." mod, you will have the option to use this as a "Stand-Alone" mod pak or as an "Add-On" mod pak install along with "Allied Marine Squadmates v.7.1.ufo"... The "Stand-Alone" mod pak install will allow you to
spawn-in and use these new additional =AMS= Marines without having to install "Allied Marine Squadmates v.7.1.ufo", but of course, you'll be missing out on much fun from this mod as well!

Known Bugs or Issues :

*************************************************************

No new bugs to report with this expansion pak offering. Any previous issues with-in "=AMS= v.7.1.ufo" will still apply. The note below also still applies as well!

Note 1: Allied Marine Squadmates used with = Alternate Monster Squad .XP = : 2 or 3 paks ONLY!

.............If you decide to download and try =AMS.XP= read below!................

When using "Allied Marine Squadmates" ( =AMS= ) in any version, you may ONLY choose 2 paks! Old version "=UAC= BFG Campbell" ( ver.1.0 ) falls into this 2 paks ONLY category as well. Any 2, but ONLY 2 ... Except if using the "Mancubus" & "Revenant" paks. The final pak is your choice allowing for a total of 3 monster paks. Both the "Mancubus" and the "Revenant" should be either "OnSight" or "OnPatrol" to avoid one over-riding the other mod choice! The work around to fix this general =AMS= scripting issue to allow for more paks at once in a game is possible,but is also a proposition I don't have the time for right now! Sorry! Good Luck and Enjoy!
