<B>v1.2.8</B> - <I>last updated October 28, 2012</I>

<B>WHAT IT DOES</B>
— <I>Slowed Movement</I>
This script decreases your speed on foot, depending on the weapons, ammo, and cash you're carrying.
(All speed penalties can be tweaked.)
— <I>Hurrying</I>
Holding ALT gives you a 20% speed boost. Doing this while sprinting uses Adrenaline, shown as a white bar under the radar.
(This can be tweaked or disabled.)
— <I>Weapon Bag</I>
Large amounts of cash and all weapons except the knife and pistols are stored in a bag, not in your magic pockets. No gameplay effect, only visual.
(This can be tweaked or disabled.)
— <I>Weapon Removal</I>
Pressing * on the numpad drops the current weapon permanently. While unarmed, hold PageDown and press * to remove armor.
(This can be disabled.)

<B>HOW TO INSTALL</B>
This is a script for <a href=http://gtaforums.com/topic/392325-beta-gtaiv-net-scripthook/>HazardX's .NET scripthook</a>. Just place the files in the 'scripts' folder of the scripthook.

<B>TIPS</B>
— Tweak the settings in the INI file to suit your preferences.
— Drop weapons you don't need to avoid being slowed down too much.
— If you want to get rid of weapons without losing them permanently, try my <A HREF=http://www.gta4-mods.com/script/weapon-storage-f10258>Weapon Storage mod</A>.
— Having 1% armor affects your speed the same as 100% armor. When your armor gets low, it might be a good idea to just remove it.
— To avoid being slowed down too much by your cash, use my <A HREF=http://www.gta4-mods.com/script/bank-account-f10259>Bank Account mod</A> to store money at ATMs. Or set the cash speed penalty to 0.0.
— For realism, I recommend editing your WeaponInfo.xml file and decreasing the max ammo for every weapon to something realistic.
— Adrenaline recharges more slowly when you're moving fast.
— After the "MaxTotalPenalty" in the INI is reached, additional weight just makes the hurry button less effective, until hurrying has no effect.
<B>KNOWN BUGS</B>
— Unfortunately, you can't get weapons back after dropping them, due to script limitations. See <A HREF="http://gtaforums.com/topic/475078-weapon-weight/?p=1061803135">here</A> for an alternate version that I use, with (sometimes buggy) weapon drops that you can pick back up.
— Melee weapons disappear when dropped, instead of falling to the ground.
