------SANCTUARY'S PISTOL REPLACEMENT PACK------  version 1.1
-----------------------------------------------
29 April 2005

Welcome to the Readme.txt of the Sanctuary's Pistol Replacement pack 1.1
I hope you will enjoy this addon that is replacing/modifying and tweaking several default pistol animations to fit better with my released animations packs.
The 1.1 version is much more complete than the 1.0

--- IMPORTANT --- IMPORTANT --- IMPORTANT --- IMPORTANT --- IMPORTANT --- IMPORTANT --- 
You are totally free to use/modify any of the animations from this addon
-without- having to ask me first. You can even modify/tweak etc.. the whole addon without having to asl me first.
It means you can convert them to anything you want, you can use only a part of them, you can mix them, you can rework them etc... without requesting my permission or something like that.
If you disagree with that statement i really don't care, sorry.

||Changelog||

-------------

***Version 1.0*** 
first release with 34 new/reworked pistol animations, some are BIS tweaked to interpolate with my owns.

***Version 1.1*** 
A total of 25 animations redone/reworked.
stand aiming with pistol reworked (and so the stand to crouch and crouch to stand with pistol)
totally redone ,with now a smooth interpolation, Reload and Binocular animations in standing/crouching/proning with pistol, previously it was just the BIS animation reworked a bit to interpolate with my other animations.
Several touches and tweaks, for more info look at the Anim_list_pistol.txt that is listing all what is new/redone in 1.1


How to install
--------------
Very easy, as it is an addon it will not replace or overwrite any kind of file
Be sure to run in version 1.96, as this addon is needing Resistance (it can't work with 1.46)

1-the Easy way (alias the Lazy Way)
--------------
Put the sancpistol.pbo in 
....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\Res\AddOns\
Launch the game and enjoy

2-the Mod way (alias the Normal Way)
--------------
Put the sancpistol.pbo in 
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\AnyModNames\Addons
by example
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\finmod\Addons  for the FDF mod
or 
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\csla\Addons  for the CSLA mod

3-the Custom Way (alias the Advanced Way)
--------------
Create a new folder inside
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\
Rename this folder @SANCPISTOL
Inside
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\@SANCPISTOL\
create a new folder and rename it Addons
After this is done, put the sancpistol.pbo inside
.....\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\@SANCPISTOL\Addons\

Now take an OFP shortcut and right click on it then press Properties
Look at the "Target" line , it looks like this
"X:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe"
(where X is your hardrive letter)
if you are using the latest official 1.96 patch
or 
"X:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\Flashpointbeta.exe"

if you are using the previous 1.96 beta patch (notice that some people are reporting that for us there is no space between Operation and Flashpoint , why ? i have no idea)

Now add after this target line    -mod=@SANCPISTOL , so it should look
"X:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe" -mod=@SANCPISTOL
Now you can launch OFP with such shortcut and enjoy the new pistol animations.

-NOTICE-
You can use several mods like this
instead of -mod=@SANCPISTOL  , put -mod=finmod;@SANCPISTOL  or -mod=llaumax;finmod;@SANCPISTOL;@SANCANIM  etc... etc... to make mods combinations

TOTALLY UNTESTED IN MULTIPLAYER.
TOTALLY UNTESTED WITH SEVERAL MODS.

-IMPORTANT-
This addon is made by Sanctuary for everyone that want to use it.
This addon is not made or endorsed by Bohemia Interactive.

If you install this addon, it can eventually make your computer to explode or it can grow a 2nd head in your back.
If you don't want to risk a computer explosion or having a second head in your back do not install this addon, i will accept no responsability if you are a victim of fate.

-CREDITS-
Tons of thank you to Dschulle for making the program OFPAnim , despite its limitations, i would never have made any animation for OFP as i don't have any professional animation programs

Thanks indirectly to Flashpointgamer for his tutorial, without him i would have never tried to make a single animation
http://ofp.info/animationcenter/

Thanks indirectly to Dreamy Knight, i think his animations are the best for OFP, it is the unfortunate lack of interpolation in his pack that gave me the will to create interpolated animations

Have fun
