Large and slightly buggy overhaul mod that expands upon the technology and usage of the Geomod engine.

\Disclaimer/
The purpose of this release to FactionFiles is to extend the audience reach. Updates to this mod always go it's Moddb webpage first. You could be playing an outdated version of this mod.

\Usage/
Copy Madmod directory into the mods directory of your Red Faction installation. Select mod: Madmod in Dash Faction Launcher to launch game with the mod.

\Recommendations/
Frame rate limit between 30-144 is recommended to reduce frame rate related bugs.
Do not use large texture mods. Textures in dds format will override vbm textures in which this mod uses plenty of.
Ingame menu video options has three blocks of different brightness next to the gamma slider. Lower gamma until the first two dark blocks are almost indistinguishable. Does not work for 16bit color depth.

\Tips/
Have every weapon bound to their own key near your movement keys to allow instant switching of weapons. You should be able to do this without needing to look down at your keyboard.
This mod is based on projectile combat so jumping, crouching, and side strafing is essential to avoid getting hit. Do not run toward incoming fire without some side strafing added.
The change in player hitbox from standing to crouching is seemingly instant. Learning to use ctrl for crouch is best and ducking beneath incoming projectiles should be common.
A few entities have a very large amount of health. It may seem as if they are invincible at times.
Adjust reticle size with reticle_scale command.
Higher difficulties make enemies move more.

\Issues/
*Carrying a corpse during a level load/save may put the player in holstered mode. It can initially seem like the game has been softlocked. (Mod-bug)
*Dynamic lights flicker when passing through portals. Probably an issue with Windows Nvidia drivers. (?)
*Some effects will break from high frame rates. Recommend maxfps limit range is 30-144. (RF-bug)
*Footstep sounds only work for entities equipped with their default weapon. (RF-bug)
*Ambient sounds won't pan from left to right channel unless EAX is enabled. (DF-bug)
*Parker and Eos not showing in level l11s3 cutscene. (?)
*Swap Assault Rifle controls breaks Assault Rifle. (DF-bug)
*Cutscenes break ambient sounds. (RF-bug)
