Description: This mod started out when I was learning how to mod JC2. I've included aspects of some other mods, which I've noted in credits/changes. Also fixed some bugs combining them, and not to mention my own 'tweaks' to various other aspects of the game: Weapons, Effects, Enemies, Gameplay, Spawns, etc... This mod is intended for fun, and learning as well - I've included all modified sources, as well as comments in the .xml code wherever I could so others could see what was changed. The .bin files are also NOT locked, but I'd recommend using the .xml as it might be cleaner/easier to read. Thanks for looking, enjoy!
Install/Requirements:
-You need all DLC.
-If running ANY other mods, back them up and start with a FRESH (empty) dropzone folder.
-YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHER MODS.
-Unpack the 7z archive to your Just Cause 2 folder (not just copy it there, that will do nothing good).
-Dropzone, DLC and archives_win32 mods are included - no need to (re)create any folders.
