Ever crave an implementation of a "Non-Scoped" Hunting Revolver that does what it says on the tin, but also avoids the hassle of editing the original?
This project aims to add a separate, fully-functional, weapon-modifiable version of a non-scoped Hunting Revolver to the game. This cuts down on incompatibilities and other oddities.
Enter: The .45-70 Govt. Revolver, a "B.F.R." with plenty of options to help you take on the Wild Western Wasteland of the Mojave.
[What This Does]
+Adds a separate non-scoped version of the Hunting Revolver, titled the .45-70 Govt. Revolver, to the game.
+The .45-70 Govt. Revolver has complete weapon modding support, and if you have Gun Runners Arsenal installed, you can choose to upgrade it with the Hunting Revolver's weapon mods, as well. There's even a new scope weapon mod!
+Optionally distributes the weapon to NPCs, mostly ones that also use the regular Hunting Revolver. This package is called "TheWorks". It's recommended for couriers who aren't afraid of a bit of variety in their (and others') gunplay.
+Adds the weapon (and one weapon mod for it) to Perk lists, Vendor lists, and Loot lists, all where necessary and within reason. This is included in both "TheWorks" and "TheBasics" packages.
+Utilizes FOMOD installer support for recommending which plugin would suit your setup best. So far, Vanilla, GRA, and TTW support is accounted for, with the latter making sure pricing is affected accordingly.
+Includes meshes and textures from "Hunting Revolver Iron Sights" by NS97, used with permission and given credit for. Please consider checking out their mod, which you can find linked in the Credits section!
+There is also a version for anonx1987's WAP Hunting Revolver compatibility, but DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY MESHES OR TEXTURES. You are REQUIRED to download those meshes and textures from their mod and install them separately if you would like to use this version.
[Update History]
(1.25)
+Added WAP Compatibility versions. They don't include any meshes or textures, please read the Documentation carefully for details on what to do about that.
+Updated the main FOMOD plugins, mostly making sure weapon mod statics were actually being used and tweaked the scope mod's icon(s) some.
+Also fixed a bug in one of the TTW related plugins. Thank you to DodoTheDodo42 for helping me pinpoint the reason why scopes were always enabled in older versions of that particular plugin!

+Initial Release.

[Conclusion]
I don't expect this to catch on too much, but I would appreciate it if any and all commentary and bug-reports be kept constructive and cool-minded.
Anyone not interested in trying it out or just wanting to leave nasty "MikeBurnFire"-esque comments will probably get their name in the halls of shame. Behave.
Aside from that, thank you for reading, enjoy, and have fun!
