About this mod

Adds a new weapon to the game, located at the Rivet City Science Lab.

Permissions and credits
Adds a two-handed melee weapon called the Toy Fire Hydrant Mace and a one-handed version called the Toy Fire Hydrant club to the game. The weapons are located in the Rivet City Science lab on one of the upper level platforms.

The Toy Fire Hydrant mace and club are smaller replicas of the weapon used by Super Mutant Behemoths. I've scaled the Mace down to 50% of its original size (note: when used by behemoths, it's actually scaled UP from its original size) and the club by 50% of the mace, considerably reduced the weight, damage, and value, and increased the critical damage.

This isn't a very powerful weapon; the mace deals about twice as much damage as a Sledgehammer, with which this weapon is repaired, and the club deals about twice as much as a Police Baton, with which it is repaired. Both weapons also deal 3x damage on a crit. It's more a funny weapon than anything else. There was kinda a Benny Hill moment when I was chasing down Victoria Watts and slowly beating her to death with this thing (in version 1, where the damage was only 1/4 of the new version and there was only the mace). My gun (which is another recent mod I made) would have taken her out in one hit.

Feel free to tweak the .esp to make it more powerful. This was just a quick little thing I did on a whim.

Includes two scaled-down versions of the stock Fire Hydrant weapon mesh, but includes no textures; it'll pick 'em up from the .bsa archives. I claim no ownership of the meshes and only include it out of necessity since it's not possible to rescale items in the GECK.

One bug is that the player's or NPC's hands clip into the handle of the weapon; this is because it was designed for a Behemoth, who has proportionally larger hands than a human.

Installation: extract the contents of the archive to the Data folder of your Fallout 3 directory. Activate the Toy Fire Hydrant Mace.esp file.

Uninstallation: Delete the files Data\Meshes\weapons\Kristoffer\toyfirehydrant.nif, Data\Meshes\weapons\Kristoffer\toyfirehydrant1h.nif and Data\Toy Fire Hydrant Mace.esp.
