Retrofit Freeroam mod

https://bully-board.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=259

Hi lads, this is a mod that resulted from me messing around with scripts and files that I kind of decided to release so others have access to it  as well. It was aimed at re balancing and adding things to the game while still keeping its vision, so it adds generally most of the stuff people request and more to the game, while not adding unnessessary features like crazy  costumes that take away from it.

In the past I went way overboard with an obscession with increasing difficulty and I feel I approached it wrongly. A game is supposed to remain fun to play, and shouldn't be a slog. I was really new to modding, and honestly couldn't even understand scripting propperly, which I'm not perfect in but have improved to which I have the people in this site to thank for. Scripting has allows you to add fun features which you can't via hex editing.

This is of course nothing groundbreaking for the more experienced modders of this community, but I can understand that there are people out there who just want to download mods, it's the very reason I first started trying to mod the game.  This first resulted out of me messing around with the game and seeing what I could do, but I realize that there are people out there who would like to have such options applied but do not feel like or have the time to get into modding. So I decided to release this so it's out there for everyone and made sure to include some general features people would like to have, while not including anything crazy that would that you out of or go against the vision of the game (Also if there is anything I was messing around with you can always let me know).

To be fair if anyone has advise for me to improve, feel free to say I feel like from a redundancy stadpoint the script is still kind of a hot mess in some ways and there is always room for improvement ( but who am I kidding, these days the activity on this site is like screaming into an empty void, most people are probably somewhere on discourd).

I am not sure if this is something I would update and won't make any promises. But if someone out there who wants to use it for something, feel free to mess around with it or use it alongside other stuff.

All the best lads,

 Mike.
