INSTRUCTIONS

Put the folders "fmod" and "tags" inside the folder for the H3EK.
The files and folders inside should be automatically put into the correct places.

The H3EK gets installed here by default
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\H3EK

All weapons in The R3ACH Weapon Pack are in
path\to\H3EK\tags\dw3\r3ach\objects\weapons


INSTRUCTIONS | OPTIONAL

If necessary, use the script "sound_R3ACH.bat" to import sound again for all weapons.
Get that from the folder "scripts" and put it inside the folder for the H3EK.
Put the folder "data" inside the folder for the H3EK.

Ensure Guerilla, Sapien, and the standalone build of Halo 3 are closed.
They use the FMOD sound banks inside path\to\H3EK\fmod\pc

Double-click on "sound_R3ACH.bat" to run the script.
The process should be complete after about one hour.
