Red Faction (client side mod) WEAPON modification:   "Dual HMG"  	January, 21th 2006
"DualHMG" replaces the Heavy Machine Gun -> HMG
------
Thank you for downloading my mod!

--xxx---xxx---
Installation:
vvvvvvvvvvvv
Extract  0_DualHMG-Weapon.vpp  into your   RedFaction\user_maps\multi   folder. Just like you'd do with a map.

Run Red Faction (launch RF.exe, as usual) start or join a game, pick up the hmg and select it.
Now'll see the new weapon :)
To remove the mod, just (re)move the vpp from your multi folder.

Note that the "ekoSIG HMG" also replaces the HMG, you have to remove the SIG before you can use the Dual HMG!

This is NOT A CHEAT modification.
The weapon WILL NOT SHOOT TWICE AS STRONG. There's no change on the damage (it won't work anyway)
The mod ONLY replaces the model, textures, sounds and the animations of RFs default HMG.

# This mod MAY give the user slight time advantages or disadvantages. (draw, holster or reload)
# I don't know how long the original animations are, but they are VERY very close to the original ones.
# From the 3DsMAX Weapon Examlpes (by volition)  I can say, that the new animations have pretty the same
# length! However, some of them are a little different to the game which I found out so I've also used the
# sound files to catch the right times. My target is to keep the gameplay untouched, which is VERY important to me.
Trust me, I'm not a fool. :p

Attention: If you already have a client mod, that replaces the HMG, for example the "ekoSigHMG",
RF may use the other models or mix up files from other mods. So remove these double used mods first.
Also your ui.vpp should be untouched to avoid errors with this mod. However,
of course you CAN have files in there like custom HUDs or texture skins.

Description:
############
This is a client side mod. That means you don't have to run Red Faction with a mod to play with this weapon!
Just put the file .vpp in your multi folder and play with it!

I have used the original model of the HMG, so it's not much of a visual difference to play with
this mod. However I think many people may like this one, try it if a single machinegun isn't enough for you. ;)
Of course "this weapon" doesn't fire twice as much, but you'll get that feeling.

Have fun! :)

Note: The ekoSIG HMG also uses the Heavy Machine Gun slot. Make sure you re/move that modification
first before playing with the DualHMG.

Bugs:
#####
All bugs listened below are only visual problems. You should not notice them while playing, but I had to mention
them.

(1stP)Muzzle flash on _alt-fire_ doesn't work well. Alt-fire has no additional animation in the code. Not a real bug.
(3rdP)only one Muzzle flash particle can be spawned in 3rd person. I could not fix by editing the emitter
texture (2flashes at once) because the code tells the sprite to rotate - that wouldnt work.
(3rdP)Male,Merc,Civil Default Animations don't work with well the dual hmg. I could not change them. At least I changed the female ones.
(3rdP)Female jump animation was not changed - it's a global animation for all weapons.
