If you really enjoy using this mod and would like to see more work done on it, consider throwing me a donation. Any amount will do, I put alot of time into this mod, and a little bit of compensation would mean the world to me. Have no fear though, I will never demand money for my mods.

See Changelog at the bottom for changes and additions. :)

Active Wasteland 1.51
By: Highsight
=================

Description:
This mod gives functions to objects in the wasteland with no function. The following now work:

Lamps: All lamps, hotel lamps, generic lamps, floor lamps, can be turned on or off, giving you a new light source in the room.

Coffee Maker (Optional): With two pinyon nuts and a coffee mug, you can make a cup of makeshift coffee, which will regenerate action points for a while and health. In hardcore mode, it will dehydrate you a bit, but it will take away sleep deprivation. Load "Active Wasteland - Coffee Maker.esp" to enable this.

Clocks: All clocks in the wasteland will now tell you the current time if you activate them.

Gas Tanks: If activated, it will release the gas from the gas tank (one time use) creating a gas trap around it.

Microscopes: If you have blood packs and you use a microscope, you can figure out the blood types of each blood pack. Each blood type has a different bonus to it that lasts 30 minutes.

Griding Wheels: Full restore the condition of any bladed weapon.

Ovens: Can be used to cook things, just like a campfire, requires 1 Flamer Fuel.

Fire Extingusihers: Can now be picked up as a thrown weapon, much like a grenade. Will explode when shot.

Barrels: Containers that can be opened with goodies inside.

Fire Hydrants: You can now get water from these, however, you'll need a wrench.

Bed Rolls: Can now be picked up and placed at will. Beware though, they are 20 pounds!

Paint Guns: Now work! The amount of paint in them is not measured by ammo, however, it is measured by the weapon's repair. Paint Guns cannot be repaired however, once they are done, they are done. Sadly, I have not found a way to make the paint permanent.

SunGlasses (Optional): All sunglasses, and helmets with glasses will apply a tint effect to your screen, depending on the color of the glasses! Load "Active Wasteland - Goggle Tints.esp" to enable this.

Installation:
Extract the Data folder into the New Vegas folder, overwrite anything that needs overwriting.
You must turn on Active Wasteland.esm and Active Wasteland - Vanilla Replacements.esp.
If you have Dead Money, you should also turn on Active Wasteland - Dead Money Replacements.esp.
If you want Sunglasses to work, turn on Active Wasteland - Goggle Tints.esp. If you have Dead Money, you should also turn on Active Wasteland - Dead Money Goggle Tints.esp.
If you want Coffee Makers to work, turn on Active Wasteland - Coffee Maker.esp If you have Dead Money, you should also turn on Active Wasteland - Dead Money Coffee Maker.esp.

Special Thanks:
My Girlfriend: A constant source of insperation, confidence and love. I love you Jordan. 3
fiskin1 and nikolaus: For donating the money for me to buy Dead Money and make the patch. Thanks guys! :D

Terms of Use:
You are free to create esp's that need the use of CHEMS.esm, so long as you give me credit for the use of CHEMS. If you wish to package CHEMS.esm with any of your mods, you MUST ask me first.

Known Bugs:
Currently, the standard clocks, do not work, but the sunburst and nuka cola ones do.
Paint Gun Paint is not permanent, I am not sure if there is a way to change this as this is engine-side programming for decals.
If you are currently carrying, or have picked a paint gun, it will not automaticly become a working paint gun.
I have not made any pipboy icons for Bedrolls or Paint Guns. If anyone would like to make some for me, it would be much appreciated. :)
