==============================================================================
  GUN SMOKE  -  spaghetti-western gun smoke for Red Dead Redemption 2
==============================================================================

Every shot throws out a big cloud of black-powder smoke, like an old western.
Smoke pours out of the barrel, hangs in the air where you fired, and keeps
curling off the gun afterwards. Each shot also gets a bigger muzzle flash and
a quick burst of light.

It works for you and for NPCs in a gunfight, and with revolvers, pistols,
rifles, repeaters and shotguns. Bows and thrown weapons are left alone.
Dual wielding is supported.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
- Script Hook RDR2 (by Alexander Blade)
- Story mode only (Script Hook mods don't run in Red Dead Online)


INSTALL
-------
1. Copy GunSmoke.asi into your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder (the folder
  with RDR2.exe in it).
2. Optional: copy GunSmoke.ini there as well. If you don't, the mod creates
  one with the default settings the first time you start the game.


UNINSTALL
---------
Delete GunSmoke.asi, GunSmoke.ini and GunSmoke.log from the game folder.


KEYS
----
F9  Test: puffs smoke from the gun in your hand without firing, and
    reloads GunSmoke.ini
F10  Turns the mod on and off

Both keys can be changed in GunSmoke.ini.


SETTINGS (GunSmoke.ini)
-----------------------
You can edit the INI while the game is running. Save it, and the changes
apply on your next shot. Every setting is explained inside the file.

The two main settings, under [General]:
  SmokeMultiplier    How BIG the smoke is.  0.5 = half, 2 = double,
                      0 = no extra smoke (the flash stays). The lingering
                      smoke has its own size: [Linger] Scale
  DurationMultiplier  How LONG it pours out. 0.5 = half, 2 = double

Other things you can adjust:
  [Weapons]  Extra or less smoke for handguns, rifles and shotguns
  [Stream]  Off by default. An extra blast of smoke thrown forward out of
            the barrel (Enabled=1 to add it)
  [Trail]    Small puffs that keep trickling out of the barrel after a shot
  [Linger]  Extra smoke that hangs in the air long after the shot
  [Plume]    The smoke that keeps curling off the barrel after you fire
  [Flash]    Muzzle flash size and the burst of light (colour, brightness)
  [General]  AffectNPCs=0 keeps the extra smoke to your own guns only

To start over with the default settings, delete GunSmoke.ini and the mod
writes a fresh one the next time the game starts.


TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
No extra smoke at all:
  - Check that Script Hook RDR2 is installed and that GunSmoke.asi is in the
    same folder as RDR2.exe.
  - Look for GunSmoke.log in the game folder. If it's missing, the mod isn't
    being loaded.
  - Press F10 once. The mod may have been switched off.

Something looks wrong:
  Set DebugLog=1 in GunSmoke.ini, fire a few shots, then check GunSmoke.log.
  Set it back to 0 afterwards so the log stays small.


COMPATIBILITY
-------------
Gun Smoke only adds visual effects and doesn't change any game files. It has
been played alongside Smoking Complete, Dual Holster, Gun Tricks and Rampage.

UPDATES
-------------
V2:
New [Linger] layer: 
Off-hand bug fix and plume work

Fixed the bug where a rifle carried in Arthur's left hand smoked when he fired his pistol. Only one-handed guns now count in the off hand.
Rifles and shotguns use the handgun barrel smoke for the plume, since their own versions vanished almost instantly.
Added plume logging, and the opt-in [Plume] RefreshMs.
Plume cleanup

Removed StackBonus, MaxStack and Layers. Stacking caused the upward smoke wall, and layers did nothing visible.
The plume is now one emitter per gun.
Stream off by default

The Stream is off by default, and its defaults are (ReachPuffs=8).
NPC lingering smoke

Linger smoke for NPCs is on by default.
Stream split

The Stream blast stays where you fired, controlled by the new StayInPlace. Moving or reloading no longer drags it into the air.
New [Trail] layer: short puffs that keep coming out of the barrel and follow the gun.
Linger also has StayInPlace, but its default behaviour is unchanged.
