This is just a conversion of a fallout 3 mod that i put together.

============================================================================================

As I am no longer updating this mod OBmodist has done a couple of fixes that i missed in the final
release and re-added the blowback version, I recommend that you grab them and just replace my files with those.

50.AE Desert Eagle V2.5b
============================================
*Uses CaliberX for ammo sytem*

Description
===========

This mod adds the Desert Eagle XIX and the unique Desert Dragon to the Mojave desert, they come in several types .357, .44 and .50AE.

They use the CaliberX ammo pack by Fluidfire and Earache42 get it here http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39981

Added Silencer and Extended magazine weapon mods these can be bought from various vendors (188 trading post, Gun runners)
You now able to re-bore your guns at work benches to use different ammunition .357, .44 and .50AE.
A relatively high repair skill is needed along with scrap metal, you need to achieve the "crafty Veteran" challenge to unlock the recipes to re-bore the Desert Eagle to use .50AE rounds and to re-bore any Desert Dragon.
!!!!! WARNING MODDED GUNS DO NOT KEEP MODS AFTER RE-BORING !!!!!

The .50 Versions are still the most powerful dealing the most damage but the .357 and .44 versions will still KICK ASS!!

I have also added Desert Eagles to a some of the npcs so watch out.
Location: The Desert Eagle XIX variations can be found at most vendors who sell weapons. The .50 version is in the safe at the NCRCF admin building if you haven't visited it yet or in Red Lucy's Chamber at The Thorn
The .50 Desert Dragon can be found in one of the houses at Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals.
The .44 Desert Dragon can be found in New Vegas steel up high on a edge.
The .357 Desert Dragon can be found in the church at Camp Searchlight or at the Gun Runners HQ.
(check the screenshots to see where they are)

I also highly recommend you get Arenovalis 10mm Retex due to me nicking the 10mm silencer for this mod

Versions
===========

NV Desert Eagle: uses the animation for that of a revolver - more kick back but the chamber doesn't move
NV Desert Eagle - less kick: only changes the animations to those of semi-auto pistols - less kick back but the chamber slides when you fire

Its all about personal preferences I chose the animation of the revolver because a desert eagle has a shit load of kick back and it seemed more fitting for something as awesome as this.

Just download the optional esp.

If you want less kick back and a sliding chamber use NV Desert Eagle - less kick
Just enable "NV Desert Eagle - less kick" instead of "NV Desert Eagle"


Installing with FOMM
======================

Open FOMM and start the package manager and select add FOmod

Then select your CaliberX download if you havent already installed it then once it is added be sure to activate it

then once you've installed it repeat the process except select your NV Desert Eagle V2-5 download and activate it

*Note if you want to use the less kick version just disable "NV Desert Eagle.esp" and activate "NV Desert Eagle - Less Kick"

When you start your game you should have a message box come up telling you that it is enabled


Manual Install
==============

Extract the files into the data folder of your New Vegas install location
install any updates then enable it in the launcher

replace any old files if it asks

When you start your game you should have a message box come up telling you that it is enabled

Updating from a previous version
=================================

I would recommened doing a clean install (yes you will lose all your ammo and guns)

To do this start your game as normal
1. Un-equip any desert eagle or desert dragon
2. Do a proper save (not a auto or quick) and exit
3. Deactivate NV Desert Eagle.esp or NV Desert Eagle - Less Kick.esp
4. Start your game save your game again
5. Install the new NV Desert Eagle mod - replace old files
6. Activate NV Desert Eagle.esp
7. When you start your game you should have a message box come up telling you that it is enabled
8. Have fun!




Uninstalling
============


Delete the NV Desert Eagle files from the data folder


Compatibility
=============

Ummm no conflicts that i'm aware of.

Bugs
====
I havent had a chance to see if the whole script that adds the weapons to lootables and stuff has worked properly but it should be fine

Sometimes in 3rd person view the magazine will be under the barrel, still works fine just looks funny.

Any problems with the gun models i can't fix, any problems with recipes, mods and vendors lists let me know and will see what i can do.
If there are any others please tell me and i will try to fix it.

Updates
=================


Changelog
===========
V2.5b Added weapon mods and used scripts to edit leveled item lists (took ages for me figure out how to get the scripts working properly)
