+++++ Notes and such +++++

1. The pbos are binarized. This means that a lot of the models aren't accessable in Oxygen unless you have a lot of technical knowledge. As the project is open-source, if anyone should require any of the MLODS for their own projects they should feel free to contact me by sending me a PM on either the BI Forums or the ArmedAssault.info forums. I'll try to respond to these as quickly as I can.

2. The Saiga 12 doesn't show it's ammo count correctly. This is due to the way it's set up. There's no fix for this beside using a script to get the shotgun effect rather than the hacky way I've used. I have a bit of experience with these scripts, and know that it's usually more trouble than it's worth.

3. There are two unimplimented weapons. They were removed because they were:
3.1. Really silly
3.2. Really buggy
   If you really want to try these weapons out you're free to. They are not however supported in any way and I'll take the secret of their classnames to the grave if necessary. While I'm neither denying nor confirming that there may or may not be futures version made, these weapons may or may not be implimented in the future, however, they may or may not be removed entirely in future versions, so I'd advise against using them.

4. There's a bug with backpacks sticking out of vehicles. There's no fix for this that I know of, short of removing the backpacks. If anyone from BIS might happen to be reading this, you need to add a selection for stuff that should be hidden when soldiers are in vehicles.

5. I accept no responsibility if in the next 20 years the FFWs are completely inaccurate, because I'll have died in the zombie invasion of 2012!
5.1. They're coming you know! May 21st 2012. Mark in on your future calender.

6. The class names have been included in a seperate text file. Refer there if you need to know them.

7. Most importantly, enjoy the addon!
