===============
Description:
===============

Allows any number of mods to be configured from a single menu.

===============
Details:
===============

The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) is a resource for other mods to use which adds a
"Mod Configuration" button to the Pause menu.
When you click on it, a window appears with a list of all of the mods using MCM.
Each of these listed mods are then configured from within the same menu.

As can be seen in the screenshots, a very user-friendly menu allows you to quickly
and confidently configure your mods. You won't have to use any items or press any
special keys to use it.

For modders wanting to use MCM menus for their mods, a detailed guide is given
explaining how.
Menus made for MCM only require MCM to be installed and activated; there is no
master dependency to the system, so your mod will still work if the user doesn't
have MCM installed.

(Note: MCM is not to be redistributed. Provide a link to the MCM mod page if your
mod requires it.)

===============
Installation:
===============

The preferred installation method is:

4. Select "Add FOMOD" and open to The Mod Configuration Menu.FOMOD

The alternative installation method is:

1. Extract the contents of "The Mod Configuration Menu.FOMOD" to \Fallout New
Vegas\Data\
2. Include The Mod Configuration Menu in your mod list via the FNVLauncher's Data
Files or with FOMM/NVMM.
3a. Use Unified HUD Project 2.6 or higher, or:
3b. Open Data\menus\options\start_menu.xml
3c. At the bottom, find </menu> and place <include src="includes_StartMenu.xml"/>
before it . As so:
<include src="includes_StartMenu.xml"/>
</menu>

===============
Un-Installation:
===============

If you used the FOMM installation method:

1. Launch FOMM

===============
F.A.Q.:
===============

Q. How do I use MCM?

A. Pause the game and select "Mod Configuration" to configure your mods. You must
also have MCM-compatible mods installed.

Q. Does MCM work with DarNified UI?

A. Yes, they work very well together. (If DarNified UI is installed after MCM, you
will need to either reinstall MCM or use Unified HUD Project.)

Q. MCM tells me to remove redundant menu entries. How do I do this?

A. You need to remove any duplicate <include src="MCM\MCM.xml"/> lines. There can
be only one in either Data\menus\options\start_menu.xml or
Data\menus\prefabs\includes_StartMenu.xml

Q. Will MCM be made for Fallout 3?

A. Probably not. FOSE doesn't have the capabilities of NVSE that make MCM possible.

Q. Why do none of my other MCM mods show up, even though I have Project Nevada
installed with integrated MCM?
A. You need to use the stand-alone MCM. The integrated Project Nevada version only
works for that mod.

Q. What do I do when my menu look weird after I updated Project Nevada to version
2.3?
A. Update your MCM to the official version 1.2 or higher.

===============
Compatibility:
===============

There should be no compatibility issues, and none are known so far.

Mods using MCM do not need to make it a master to use the menu, although MCM does
need to be present and active in the user's mod list.
