________________________ THE NUMBERS ________________________ Name: Fallout 3 Tactics Version: FINAL Author: Shubniggurath Requirements: Base Fallout 1.7. Downward compatible. ________________________ HOW TO UPDATE THIS MOD ________________________ FOR VERSION 1.6 YOU NEED A CLEAN SAVEGAME THAT IS NOT EFFECTED BY A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS PLUGIN! If you want to replace an earlier version of this mod with a newer one, please do as followed: .- Go to the ingame terminal mentioned below and SWITCH EVERYTHING OFF. .- Save your game, exit the game, and delete the old esp file. .- Place the new esp file in the DATA folder. .- Check the new esp file in either the mod manager or the launcher menu. .- Start the game and reload you savegame. It is imperative to switch the sections off, otherwise the previous versions effects could accumulate with the new ones and waste your character. ________________________ THE PRESENTATION ________________________ This plugin adds four things: 1. The A-B.A.M. (Action Bonuses and Maluses) Example: You move or do SOMETHING and a script checks your type of movement, action, physical condition, combat group size of the enemy and player - and allocates a specified bonus or malus, based on your characters level / physical condition or carried weight. You can see the effects on your pipboys EFF page. 2. Food and healing change Totaly reworked all food and the stimpacks to heal only temporary. Depending on wich skills you have, the values will vary. Chems are untouched. You can still be healed by sleeping, going to a doctor or using the infirmary in your house. 3. Radiation diseases and perks. Not only the radiation diseases bring serious problems, being sick with minor, advanced, critical or deadly radiation sickness will also add a sickness perk to the player. These perks reduce features a normal disease entry couldn't change. 4. Perks The new perks are collectibles, hwo look like skillbooks. They are scattered through the wastelands. You have to search for them in military and gouvernmental installations. There are 15 different perks, hwo will be in deactivate state as long as the conditions aren't met. You will notice a "INACTIVE" message in the particular perk entry. As soon as the conditions are met, the perk will be switched to active state and can be used. THE PLUGIN MUST BE ACTIVATED AT THE TERMINAL IN MEGATON. THE CHANGES ARE NOT ACTIVE ON GAME START. 1.3 Note: Every section of this mod, be it the A-B.A.M., the Food and healing change, the Radiation diseases and perks, the new TACTICS perks and the new combat speed settings can be switched active or to vanilla state via a terminal next to the ramp that leads up to the craterside supply. That means, if you don't like one of the sections, you don't need to play with it. The changes of this plugin do not touch the default game settings or enemys or monsters or weapons and is therefore highly compatible with other mods. You can use it with the Fallout Overhaul Kit 2, Marts Mutant Mod and/or the Weapon Mods Kit. 1.6 Note: This Plugin needs a lot of recources. If you use big plugins or have a mediocre computer, you will notice a framerate decrease of 10-20 frames per second. ________________________ A-B.A.M. ________________________ NEW: All of the bonuses and maluses increase with your levelups. A-B.A.M. means Action Bonuses And Maluses. In fact for specified actions you will get stat and skill advantages or disadvantages. The A-B.A.M. system is splitted in four fields. In each of them i specified actions hwo can accumulate with the other field effects. Inside the fields the effects will replace by condition change. The drawbacks and advantages will raise or lower over time. This means, by advancing, you will get higher stats for some actions but also bigger disadvantages. Generaly the gameplay will heat up overtime and you will be forced to make tactical choices in combat to survive. From version 1.6 on, you won't get messages about the A-B.A.M. anymore. It works silent but it still can be viewed in the pipboys EFF Section. If you don't want to refer to your pipboy all the time, you have to get a feeling for it. -------------------------------- FIELD 1 - Movement. -------------------------------- These bonuses and maluses will exchange each other field 1 bonus and malus.

If you use a mod that alters the default Fallout3 perks you won't get problems. The new Editor ids begin with a01shub[residual id]. ________________________ THE BUGS ________________________ If you play with the faster combat speed, you will notice pitched up voices from enemys. It sounds weird but can't be helped, because the engine also speeds up the playback speed of the sound files. Deal with it or switch the combat speed to default vanilla. Sometimes you will see inactive in your perk list, even if you switched the perks to OFF. ________________________ THE CHANGELOG ________________________ Version 1.7 Fixed the combat speed option. Fixed the LIMB Section. Fixed the appearance of inactive perks. Took the agility malus out of the Weight A-B.A.M. Reworked some food health buff durations. ________________________ THE E.O.F. ________________________ If (Reader.IsReadingStill) Author.Sayto Reader CongratulationTOPIC End
