DESCRIPTION

SVD "Dragunov" Remodel/Replacer & Rebalance.
Always loved the Dragunov, magnificent weapon. Sad thing is, the texture for the Dragunov was terrible.
It looked to be relatively clean despite not trying to be, didn't have enough edge and grit, just felt like a very old model and texture overall.
So I decided to replace it with one made by "Matthew Wilshaw" using my textures.
Also, to further make Dragunov the cool weapon it is, I've made some minor balance changes such as giving them the ability to use the Ironsights even if you have scopes attached.
I'd like to give big thanks to "Qatapro" since he helped me set this weapon up.
I would also like to thank my good ol' friend, "Lord Blundernaut", for fixing up the animations for me.

INSTALLATION
___________
Simply extract the "gamedata" to your main Anomaly folder.

PATCHES/ADDONS INFORMATION
___________
- "EFT Style Weapons Re-position". A patch to make it compatible with said mod by Apathy_Knight.
- "NO-STAL-GIA". This makes it so the 2nd variant of the SVD, "Customized", uses a somewhat-intricate desaturated green plastic instead.
- "Alternative Lynx". Changes the camo of the Lynx to a much more subtle one.
___________
DETAILS
___________
Graphics-wise:
* New Model made by Matthew Wilshaw, with textures made by Blackgrowl.
* Unique "Lynx" variant uses a 20-rounds magazine model.
Texture-wise:
* All textures at 2048x2048, without compression artifacts and a proper Normal & Specular map.
* "Default" texture is a very worn Wood&Metal SVD, fit for the dark grittiness of the STALKER environment.
* "Customised" version now uses Synthetic parts instead of Wooden. The Metal is also cleaner, but still worn.
* "Lynx" version is now even more unique; Synthetic parts with Lynx-imitating Camo. Ironsights also have Tritium.
Balance-wise:
* All SVD variants now have "Alternative Aim", this means that if you want to aim with the ironsights despite having a scope, you can.
To use it so, simply press the "Grenade Launcher Mode" button which by default is the "V" key.
* All SVD variants have adjustable Tulip scopes.
---UNIQUE "LYNX" VARIANT---
* Fire-rate has been increased substantially. (45 to 120)
* Lynx now uses a 20-rounds magazine, with a proper model to fit.
* To balance the buffs, the recoil is now MUCH higher.
___________
KNOWN ISSUES
___________
* Weapon has no "Lock" in the model. I will make an update that adds it later.
* Bullets are not visible in a full-mag. I will make an update that adds it later.
- Weapon scopes might be inconsistent with the textures, not something I will "fix" just for one consistency though.
+ However, might fix the Lynx's scope's texture later.

COMPATIBILITY
___________
Anything that changes "wpn_svd.ltx" is not compatible.
A merge/patch can be done relatively easily though.
