Name: More Oomph for Energy Weapons
Author: XanKrieg0r
Version: 0.6
Date: 12/15/2015
Category: Audio - SFX

DESCRIPTION:

This is a sound replacer for energy weapons and a learning experience for me. My main goal is to make punchy, gritty, sci-fi sounds for Fallout 4's energy weapons and make them feel like they could really do some damage. In other words, to add more oomph.

STUFF DONE:

 - Semi-auto plasma weapons (short barrel)
 - Plasma sniper 
 - Plasma thrower
 - Plasma scatterer 
 - Semi-auto laser pistols (all semi-auto barrels)
 - Semi-auto laser rifles (all semi-auto barrels)
 - Gatling laser (overcharged barrels)
 - Gauss rifle
 - Gauss rifle (suppressed)
 - Gauss rifle charging SFX
 
STUFF TO DO (Coming Soon™):

 - FOMOD installer
 - Automatic laser pistols and laser rifles
 - Automatic plasma weapons, except for the plasma thrower 
 - Laser musket
 - Gamma gun
 - Alien blaster (to be honest, I have no idea on what to do with this one)
 - NPC energy weapon sounds
 
INSTALLATION:

1. Enable mod support if you haven't already by following this guide: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/news/12645/

2. Download and extract the Sounds folder to your \Fallout 4\Data folder or use the Nexus Mod Manager (recommended)
 
KNOWN ISSUES:

 - There may be a small delay when firing a weapon for the first time due to how the game works. This can also happen with stock sounds.
 - Laser weapons sound comparably low. The game itself handles volumes for some weapons differently.
 
NOTES:
 
 - Some energy weapons and their barrels share the same sound file paths in the game.
 
CHANGELOG:
 
 v0.6 - Added plasma scatterer sound
		Added new new laser sounds by popular demand
		Added new SFX for the gauss rifle's charging mechanism
		
 v0.5 - Initial release
 
LICENSING/LEGAL:
