Chapter III. FAQ
===============

How to change the Enclave Soldiers to something completely different?
- Use "Enclave Commander - Options" in your AID selection.

How do I change how much XP I get for squad kills?
- Type in "set J3XVertibirdXpGain to ?" where ? is the xp-multiplier of the squads kills, where 0 is no xp and 1 is normal. Any number goes.

The marker thingys is not working!?!?!?!
- Make sure you have FOSE installed correctly. Use "E" to drop the marker.


How do I play with the DLC and FOSE at the same time, GFWL is evil!

- Move the DLC to your \Fallout3\Data folder so you can play without GFWL. The DLC is located in...

- C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC for XP
- C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC

- Take the ESM and BSAs and move them to your \Data folder, activate them like a normal mod, enjoy playing without GFWL.


How do I add my own weapons / faction?
- Load up the mod in GECK and change the soldiers inventory.

How to get it?
- It will be added to your inventory when you start the game.

Please do not request new factions, changing of the weapons, ect to be added. I don't have time to customize this mod so it fits everyone. You are still however free to ask, just don't hope for it to be added.
Load up the GECK and add it, then release it. insufficient knowledge of the GECK is not a valid argument, learn to mod dammit!


===============
Chapter IV. Playing
===============

The items will be added to your inventory when you start your game.

Command radio:
The command radio is your main tool for this mod; you find it under your Aid tab.

New in 0.80: How to use the new marker system:
Choose a option, like call in ground support.
You will find that a creepy green marker is following your mouse, you can change the distance to it by your scroll wheel.
When you have found a good position to call in your troops press the use key, "E".

Move Markers:
Used for the move to marker AI command.
Use it and select a color then move the marker around with the mouse, you can change the distance to it by your scroll wheel. Press E to drop.
Try to place the flag right over the ground. Placing the flag in weird places may break the AI.
Or double click on something with the command button.

Prisoners:
To enable prisoners, use the Command Radio, Squad Commands, take prisoners.
The prisoners sometime bugs the soldiers AI and if they are left along for too long they will go back to normal but might be bugged.
Shot with the laser marker on the prisoners for access the command menu
Execute = Pop the prisoners head.
Transport to base = Transport the soldier to the prison marker.
Confiscate belongings = Pick and choose from the NPCs items.
Release = release, nuff said.

Air support
You don't get xp for Vertibird strike kills.
The Vertibird will shoot down everything in the area, including you and your soldiers.
Vertibird fast travel may cause some bugs if you fast travel to places before you have access to them.

Command button:
Use EC options to change it, default is G.
- Double click on a soldier to access the command menu.
- Select a soldier and then a NPC for attack order.
- Select a soldier then a prisoner for execution order.
- Select a Scientist and a locked terminal or container for give a unlock order.
- Double click anywhere to place a marker there.
- Double click on a NPC for air support menu.
- Double click on a prisoner for options menu.
- Select a Scientist or a Wraith then a ordinary object (not NPC) for mine placing order.

Vertibird fast travel:
Use 'e' to enter the vertibird.
It's a bad idea to fast travel while you have soldiers following you.
Selecting a follower then select the vertibird moves the follower into the bird.
Select a follower then the vertibird's indoor door to move him out.
Select the vertbird once to give take off order.
Use the pipboy to select a destination (might conflict with no-fast travel mods)
Or use the console and select a player set position.
