[Rel] Marksman Enhanced v1.2

[Bravo 1]

Here it is...finally!
Marksman Enhanced v1.2

New to v1.2:
-Revamped Orcish crossbow
-Added Silver Crossbow
-Changed projectile store chance to 85% instead of 25%
-Changed the names of the files and organized them more efficiently
-Redid the all crossbow stats based on extensive timed tests comparing bows and crossbows

As of 16 July 2005, you can find the latest version here at my new site.

...and the intro from the readme:
This mod was inspired by the original Marksman Mod; I opened it a few years earlier and was most amused by it...but then I came across the orcish crossbow in the mod. Much to my disappointment, it did NOT look at all like the armor; so I sat down with photoshop and cannibalized peices of the armor until I made a texture. What had initially started as a tweak turned into a mod as I made a wooden and bonemold crossbow texture, but due to UV mapping issues the wooden one was not released. Instead, I substituted Bethsoft's model.

After making all these crossbows, I decided to make them more realistic, by tweaking their rates of fire and damage; after this I saw that this made them way better than bows and throwables so I tweaked those too. After placing orcish crossbows on orcs who previously had steel, adding a couple Hlaalu sharpshooters with bonemold crossbows...and scattering a few wooden mods, I came up with the mod you have now before you; I hope you enjoy it! And after doing all that I realized that I'd left out the silver crossbow to complement the bolts already ingame, so I've added them in v1.2, hopefully the last update for this little mod!

As of 16 July 2005, you can find the latest version here at my new site.

Many thanks to Calislahn for everything really (you name it, she helped me somehow!).

Thanks to Alienslof for her photoshop tips, encouragement and testing v1.1.

Thanks to Bored Guest X for the testing both v1.1 and 1.2, encouragement and ideas! Not to mention putting up with the bombardment of WIP shots

A big thanks to HeWhoWatches for testing and staying up with me way past his bedtime giving me opinions and ideas (among which was a wonderful revision for the bonemold crossbow's texture)!

Thanks to Mebyon for the field testing (oh those poor cliff racers!) and readme corrections...

Thanks to Regan for encouraging me to rethink my crossbow stats and the suggestion to compare them in the field thus being able to factor the speed of the animation into the rest of the speed/damage ratio.

Thanks to Intelligentsia for the Marksman Mod (which was my inspiration for this mod) and for allowing me to use his dwarven bolt and glass longbow icons, meshes and textures.

Also thanking Soar182 who tested v1.0.

And of course, many thanks to Bethsoft for such a wonderful game!

Sorry about the lack of feedback, RL has taken a bit more of my attention than usual

[Calislahn]

Is it your friends who moved in next door? has your peace been shattered ;D

[Regan]

Just a bit, nextdoor's been empty (apart from the spiders) for 30 years so they can't move in quite yet. They're currently asleep in the lounge. Only for a couple of weeks though ;D

Sorry Bravo, but you know how it is round here
