* Description *

This provides the Shotgun of the MP mod "WolfTactics" to the SP Game.
The Shotgun is bound to weapon slot 1 (same as the knife).
It uses the same 9mm ammo as the Luger.
================================================================================

* Change History *

- V1.1:
  - Reduced the firepower (From 8 to 6)
  - Increased the weapon spread (From 750 to 2000)
  - Added a player recoil
================================================================================

* Installation Information *

- Latest official update 1.41 of RTCW is needed.
- Important: Backup the files "cgamex86.dll", "qagamex86.dll" and "uix86.dll" of the RTCW installation folder (where the "WolfSP.exe" is. Default: "C:\Program Files\Return to Castle Wolfenstein").
- Unzip "RTCW_SGWT_MOD.zip" to a neutral folder (NOT the RTCW installation folder).
- Copy the content of the sub folder "RTCW" into your RTCW installation folder.
================================================================================

* How to play *

Playing normally:
- Start "Play Return to Castle Wolfenstein Single Player"
- Select "Options" and then "Mods". Select "sgwt_mod" and click "launch".
- Start a new game with the desired skill level.
- The Shotgun will appear in "Mission 2: Dark Secret, Part 1: Village". The drunken soldier in wine cellar holds it.

Playing with cheats:
- Copy the shortcut "Play Return to Castle Wolfenstein Single Player" to "Return to Castle Wolfenstein Single Player - SG-Mod".
- Invoke the property window of the shortcut "Return to Castle Wolfenstein Single Player - SG-Mod". Append the parameters " +set sv_cheats 1 +set fs_game sgwt_mod" to the command line.
- Start "Return to Castle Wolfenstein Single Player - SG-Mod".
- Start a new game with the desired skill level.
- As soon as you are in the map, bring down the console with the ~ key and enter the command "/spdevmap escape1". This starts the first map with cheats switched on.
- To get the Shotgun, enter the console command "/give ShotgunWT".
================================================================================

* Known Issues *

- The Shotgun uses the same 9mm ammo as the Luger and has no own type of ammo (shells).
  This is due to the fact, that there is no shotgun ammo available in the RTCW maps.
- The reload method is the same as the other weapons (the whole clip is reloaded with one model animation).
  The event system of RTCW does not support single pellet reloading (at least what I understand out of the game code).
