ROGUE HALLOW'S IRONSIGHTS - Rifle Models (Beta)
================================================
================================================

Original publish date: 09.07.09
Current version: 0.8 Beta
File type: Essential
Skills required: Low (mod installation), Average-High (weapon alteration)
Author: Rogue Hallow Media


PURPOSE
========

This section of the mod contains all the custom edited meshes for RH_IronSights.  Without these files, the weapons will not look straight in-game.


DETAILS
========

Summary
--------
All the models in this package have been carefully adjusted to line up with the reticule using the RH_IronSights system.  Some models have been changed from their original presentation to make them fit, though hopefully not to the point that they will cause distraction.

Some models use the "Null Texture" method of mesh-multitasking (thanks to antistar for this technique).  This entails creating a model with several optional components - say, a silencer and a scope - and applying a Null Texture Set to the part of the model you want to hide.


IMPORTANT NOTE
===============

Edited Guns
------------
Please pay attention to the following: if you use a custom weapon not found in the vanilla game (HeroinZero's pistols, 20th Century Weapons, etc.), it will NOT center properly during iron sights aiming!  Weapon meshes must be adjusted to fit the new animations before they line up perfectly.  Also, depending on the weapon's GECK settings, it may not center during aiming at all - only during firing, which is very distracting.

In other words, iron sights can't work with custom weapons "right out of the box".


INSTALLATION
=============

Merge the mod's Data folder with your game's Data folder.

Please note that without the .esm and custom animation files, this model package is basically worthless.  Only when the model, the animation, and the setting are all in alignment will a weapon center properly during iron sights!

If you haven't carefully followed the installation instructions for the .esm and animation packages, please do not complain that your guns aren't centered.


ISSUES & CONFLICTS
===================

* There may be a few minor flaws in the UV layout or normal mapping here and there.

* These weapons have the 1024x1024 textures by default.

* Note that mods like WMK, which use multiple weapon entries for each gun, will not center properly.

* Certain weapons may occasionally clip the screen when fired in iron sights.  Most vanilla weapons have been altered to avoid this, but some DLC weapons are still WIPs.
