INTRODUCTION:
------------------
 
Project Nevada is a mod aiming to make Fallout: New Vegas a more interesting - eventually more challenging - but surely more fun experience for you.
Created by the team responsible for the Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition (FWE), we're leaving the barren DC wasteland behind and move on west to new, exciting regions.
 
Project Nevada is not an overhaul, instead it's organized as a set of themed modules.
Each module can address different aspects of the game and target different audiences, but they are also designed to work in conjunction.
Our vision is to allow players picking the modules they want and using them together with any mod they like, instead of forcing them to make the all-or-nothing choice.
See the next sections for detailed descriptions and features of all current modules.
 
CORE:
------------------
 
The Core module is the foundation of Project Nevada, and as such required by all other modules.
 
It adds the gameplay features found in popular first-person-shooter games that were missing in New Vegas.
Some of those features are improved versions of already well-known Fallout 3 mods, like the Grenade Hotkey, Bullet Time or Sprint.
All of them are rewritten from the ground up, with exciting new features like the support for several VATS perks in Bullet Time and support for throwing weapons with the grenade hotkey.
Others are brand new, like the Dynamic Crosshair that changes it size according to the current weapon spread.
Each of those features can be individually enabled or disabled in-game. They are fully script-based to play along well with other mods.
 
To allow customization, the Core module implements a Control Panel, which can be accessed directly from the pause menu.
Other mods may extend the Control Panel without conflict and make use of the provided methods for streamlined hotkey assignment.
 
Since the Core module avoids conflicting changes, players are free run it alongside any other mods, including their favorite overhaul.
 
Details:
----------
 
Dynamic Crosshair
This feature causes the crosshair to expand and contract dynamically based on the player's current gun spread.
 
Bullet Time
A classic feature that doesn't need much introduction - press a hotkey to slow down time, at the cost of Action Points.
 
Sprint
Yet another classic - as the name suggests, Sprint allows you to increase your speed until your action points are used up.
When bouncing into an opponent you may knock him down if your Strength is overpowering his.
 
Grenade Hotkey
Press a hotkey to quickly equip and prepare an explosive, then release to throw it.
Another hotkey is used to cycle through the different throwables in the players inventory. Besides grenades and thrown weapons, mines and placed explosives are now supported as well.
Any unknown explosives are automatically supported once they have been equipped.
 
Variable Zoom for scoped weapons
All scoped weapons get multiple zooming steps. This automatically works for mod-added weapons as well.
The number and magnification of those additional zooming steps is based on range of the weapon, so it will not turn a pistol into a sniper rifle.
Selected weapons have a digital zoom (Gauss, Scoped Laser Rifle).
 
Slower Backpedaling
When moving backwards, the player's speed is reduced based on his/her agility.
 
First-person Visor Overlays for helmets
Helmets and other headgear now get immersive first-person overlays and vision effects.
Based on the item condition, cracks and scratches will show up on the visor as well.
 
Immersive Health Visuals
With decreasing health, the player's vision gets weak and blurry, creating an immersive feedback mechanism for you current health.
 
Enhanced Stealth Field
The stealth field of armors or Stealth Boys can now be toggled on and off by hotkey.
To keep things balanced, the field can only stay stable for a short while. The current stability is displayed in the HUD.
 
Enhanced Vision Modes
Power Armor helmets and other high-tech gear now enable enhanced vision modes like Night Vision, Heat Vision and EM Vision.
If there's no Power Armor equipped as a power source, energy cells are required while these modes are active.
 
Explosive Entry ENHANCED
This feature makes it possible to burst open locked containers and doors with explosives.
It uses no special interface, just detonate something close enough to a lock and you may break it.
 
Immersive Primary Needs
As hunger, thirst or sleep depriviation increase, the player is notified by periodic sound effects.
These effects kick in shortly before the first penalties occur, so the player is given a chance to eat, drink or sleep in time.
 
Control Panel
The old control panel has been completely replaced by MCM, which enables more user-friendly and visually appealing menus.
It's still accessible from the pause menu, and every Project Nevada Core feature can be enabled/disabled at runtime.
 
Inventory Sorter
To keep your inventory managable, even when carrying lots of items, the inventory sorter prefixes items based on categories.
It's fully scripted and easily extendable by other mods, even without depending on Project Nevada itself.
 
Chargeable Weapons
Selected unique weapons can be charged to enable powerful special attack modes.
By default, these weapons are the AER14 Laser Rifle and the Q-35 Plasma Rifle, with the Equipment module adding even more of them.
 
CYBERWARE:
---------------------
 
Even though humanity nuked itself back into the Stone Age, you don't have to fight with sticks and stones.
Some of man's most advanced technological creations have been preserved - and the Cyberware module gives you the chance to obtain them!
 
Practically this means new features are associated with cybernetic implants and high-tech equipment.
Examples include enhanced vision modes for power armor helmets and bionic legs allowing you to charge towards your enemies with super-human speed.
 
While for equipment existing items are used, the cybernetic implants come with a custom interface to attach and manage them.
Unique implants that grant powerful abilities are placed all over the wasteland in rewarding locations.
Other, less powerful implants can be obtained from selected vendors, though with the proper Science skill those can be upgraded up to 3 times.
 
The whole system is balanced by several mechanisms, like limiting the number of implants that can be attached at the same time, or requiring energy supply for special equipment.

REBALANCE:
-------------------
 
This module aims to bring back the challenge and balance known from Fallout3 Wanderers Edition and includes many tweaks to the FNV gameplay and difficulty.
Combat will be quicker and deadlier and survival much harder.
 
These changes are aimed to be very subtle and non-intrusive, making the game more challenging without inconveniencing the player.
As usual, the Control Panel allows players to freely customize most settings according to their personal preferences.
 
Details:
------------------
 
Character Options
* Reduced Leveling Speed

* Headshots Bypass DT when Head is Unprotected
* Configurable Auto Aim

Food Changes
Food is generally classified as Terrible, Bad and Good. With decreasing quality, the food is less nutritious.
If the respective option is enabled, eating bad or terrible food will temporarily increase the hunger rate.
 
EQUIPMENT:
---------------------
 
The Equipment module brings new weapons and armor to the Mojave Wasteland.
Source of these items are the many excellent creations produced by the modding community, as well as those created by our own team.
 
We aim to include only weapons and armor of high quality that fit well within the New Vegas environment and the Fallout universe in general.
To ensure a seamless integration, the new items are carefully balanced and placed at appropriate locations, including vendors and loot lists.

Trouble Shooting:
 
How do I use specific features of this mod?
 
The Dynamic Crosshair is activated automatically whenever you're carrying an unholstered ranged weapon.
Immersive Health Visuals will automatically dim your vision when you're low on health.
The visor overlays are displayed when wearing certain headgear (Power Armor helmets for example). All of the vanilla helmets are supported, though if you found one we missed, please notify us in the comments.
 
For the rest of the features, the default hotkeys are:
- Bullet Time (C)
- Stealth Field (X)
- Throw Grenade (G)
- Select Grenade (H)
- Control Panel (Hold P)
- Zoom In (MWheel Up)
- Zoom Out (MWheel Down)
- Change Vision Mode (M)
 
Not all of those are available at all times:
- The Grenade Hotkey requires you to have something throwable.
- Zooming in or out only works when aiming with a scoped weapon.
- For the Stealth Field, you either have to use a Stealth Boy, have a stealth implant installed or wear stealth armor. Energy cells might be needed as well.
- Enhanced Vision Modes require certain headgear (see the Readme for a full list), or an installed implant (Bionic Eyes). Energy cells might be needed as well.
