[UPDATE 1] Better Armed Zombies REDUX  

This mod allows enemy Zombified Stalkers to make use of any weapon that the other factions use within the game - minus Monolith and Sin. I did not include Monolith and Sin because of balance issues with Monolith's stronger loadouts as well as myself not seeing those factions becoming Zombified Stalkers due to the brain rot they already have.

They obey the same loadout restrictions based on rank as other factions do (i.e. you won't see a endgame weapon on a low "rank" Zombie and you won't find low-tier garbage on higher "rank" Zombies).

CHANGELOG

Update 1 (11/11/22):

• Created two separate folders - GAMMA and Non-GAMMA
• Non-GAMMA no longer pulls from ISG and Renegades in case crash may have to do with unlockable factions (still unclear)

COMPATABILITY

Any weapon mod that add their weapons to any of the other factions' loadouts is completely compatible and will be automatically applied and added to the Zombified Stalkers' loadouts as well if they fall within the inherited ranks. This mod is also GAMMA compatible since GAMMA does not edit Zombified loadouts in any way.

However, this mod does overwrite "npc_loadouts_zombified.ltx" (gamedata > configs > items > settings > npc_loadouts), so any mod that modifies this file is encouraged to be overwritten with this one OR (if using MO2) put this mod at the bottom of your load order.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DLTX THIS MOD AS IT WILL CAUSE CRASHING DUE TO THE SHEER AMOUNT OF DATA IT NEEDS TO WORK WITH!!!

INSTALLATION (MO2 Recommended)

MO2 Install: Drag the file into your "Downloads" window on the right-side and install from there. Click "Manual" and pick which version you want to use (GAMMA or Non-GAMMA). Then, right-click on your chosen folder/version and click "Set as <anoamly> directory". Finally, hit OK and it will install.

Manual/Non-MO2 Install: Extract this file and select the version you want to use (GAMMA or Non-GAMMA). Then, move that version's "gamedata" folder inside of your Anomaly directory.

If you are still experiencing crashes after this update, please let me know. The cause for the ISG crashing still is a mystery to me after looking at the files. Hopefully, this workaround will fix the problems (or show new ones...).
