This mod is a ground-up rethinking of the original mod and as such is NOT compatible with that mod. 

8/20/2023 Optional File:
G36 Scout had an issue with the 3x laser not working. This is because of a QA issue leftover from the base game (thanks Ubi). Fix now included as an optional file 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V2.1 Changelog:

Updated to be compatible with newer versions of Anvil Toolkit

- Install instructions updated 

- Tested to ensure that both Red and Green Versions are functional

Note: Check for duplicate named files. The beginning numbers may be different, but the text will be the same. If found, it's easier to delete all and just reinstall from the download.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V2.0 Changelog:

By popular (and persistent) demand, red lasers are back!

Added a supplementary "Step 1" set of files that will make the laser red instead of green. 

NOTE: This is not a pick-and-choose thing. You either use Step 1 for green OR Step 1 for red. DON'T MIX AND MATCH. 

Future additional color support is possible.

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

What This Mod Does:

Allows for the selection between 4 types of laser effects:
1. Laser Beam Standalone (no IR Illumination)
2. Laser Beam + IR Illumination
3. Flashlight Standalone (no Laser)
4. Flashlight + Laser

All laser beams will be a single green beams (The mawl default beam)

There are 2 Light options:
1. Short range - Good for dark interiors areas, not great for exterior areas.
2. Long range - Good for exterior areas, not good for interior areas.
[Is really bright by the muzzle, will cause lens blooming if the camera isn't behind the player]

Optional replacement file:
Added a medium strength light that doesn't have the lens bloom. It's about 50-60% as bright as the long range option, but performs just as poorly indoor. 

What This Mod Does Not Do:

You can't have a red laser. Green is better anyway. Newer updates now gives the option of either red or green
