--------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT
NOTES--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-This mod has been made and tested to work with 7 days to die 1.0, it
doesn't necessarily work with newer or older versions of the game.

-In case you want to use it on a dedicated server both server and client need to install it.

-This mod has not been tested on dedicated server, if it works on single
player should work fine on multiplayer too, but for obvious reason I
can't test it and make it work on every server that wants to use it.
At the moment some people have experienced different errors on dedicated
server, so my suggestion is to test it on a new world before adding it
the older ones.

-This mod it's not supposed to work with Ravenhearst, War3zuk, Darkness falls and other mods that apply changes
to weapons, weapons crafting, weapons stats, weapons accessories
and perks trees. It could work but will cause some issues that can break
the game, there will be no fix for this.

--------------SPECIAL----------------
-M134 Minigun    can be found only in military boxes (2% chance), this weapon has the
highest DPS of the game but will drain your ammo supplies and will slow
you down while holding it. 

-Flamethrower     a special anti-horde weapon, it's governed by the perk advanced engineering, can
use motor tool mods and gascan as ammo. this weapon can be crafted after
reading the schematic or found in destroyed workbenches  (2% chance).

-Railgun       a special hi-tech weapon for the intellect class, it's governed by
the perk electrocutioner and uses iron dart as ammo.  this weapon can
be crafted after  reaching electrocutioner level 5 or found in secret
hidden stashes  (2% chance).

-M82 Barrett     a heavy 50 cal sniper rifle with a insanely high dismember chance that can
use only special .50 bmg bullets and the variant Incendiary and
Armor-Piercing. This weapon can be found only in military boxes (2%
chance) and came with its own scope that can be replaced by 8x scope.

-M1A2 Thompson      Old and legendary Automatic Submachine Gun that uses 9mm Ammo. Holding this
weapon while wearing a full suit and a press hat will grant you a 40%
bonus buying and selling goods. This weapon can be found only in gun
safes (2% chance).

-AA12      this full automatic shotgun has massive damage output and a strong recoil. Found only in gun safe (2% chance).

-M79 GL40    a small grenade launcher less powerfull than a rocket launcher but
also more handy and easy to use. This weapon is craftable after reading
the schematic and can be found in loot or bought from traders, uses 40
mm grenade ammo.


I'm not sure if those percentage are correct because there is no good way to test them, I'll increase them if
turn out to be too low.
Roughly you should find at least 1 of the special weapons (not including the M79 GL40) before day 70.
------------------------------

All these weapons are compatible with the ingame weapon accessories, but not every accessory can be mounted on every weapon.
The SPECIAL weapons have a really limited set of accessories that can be installed.


Known issues:

-Reloading Animation Incorrect: Skorpion, Vector,  M1 garand, M1A2 Thompson,
Colt38 have a not properly correct reloading animation.
-Missing Reloading Animation: M240, M79 GL40, M16, M82 Barrett, AA12 the animation start but the magazine doesn't move.
-Glossy or Rough surface: this is not an issue it's just their graphics that has been done like that.
