    Preferences:

-Disable Hints
	Disable the hints for the Crucible Weapons.
-Eject Brass (Shell Casings)
	Toggle weapon brass spawning.
-Saturation Scale
	Adjust overall saturation in the game. Higher values mean more color.
	0 = Default, 1 = Average saturation, -1 = Double grey

    Rules:

-Use Crucible Weapons
	You can use this if you want the other features of the mod without the weapons or
	you are using another method to spawn the weapons.

-Enable Health Regeneration
	Enables regenerating health. Health starts to recharge shortly after being injured.

-Enable Kill Health Bonus
	Gain a small health bonus for frags.

-Melee Required Kills Scale
	Scale the amount of kills required to gain level-ups for the Hammer:
	1=Default. 0=Levelup every kill. 0.5=halve the kills required. 2=Double hard to get levelups

-Players Move Speed Scale
	Tweak the movement speed of players. 1 = Default, 2 = faster, 0.5 = half-slow, 0.9=slightly slower
	Player speed is capped so setting this to very high values won't have much effect



5) Descriptions:

Hammer of Retribution:
Chaos, Demons and Unrelenting Evil. These are the forces with which the mighty warriors of Heaven have contended for millenia. In this battle, many holy tools of retribution have been brought against the hateful enitities of Hell, but no other is as iconic as the legendary Hammer of Light. Forged by Heaven's holy craftsmen, the Hammer has crushed, smashed and obliterated countless demonic minions, leaving a river of divine vengeance in it's wake.

Raven Sidearm:
The long trusted sidearm, forever at the warriors side, has proven itself worthy through countless battles. While the Raven is weaker than most of the larger armaments, fighters know that it will always be there should other weapons fail in their task. The Raven is quick, accurate, reliable and a skilled warrior will be able to easily dispatch over-confident enemies with some good aiming.

Basilisk Shotgun:
Few weapons can compare to the dreaded close range power of the legendary Basilisk shotgun. While it is capable of obliterating opponents in furious melee battles, it suffers at longer ranges, it's scattered pellets either missing or inflicting minimal damage. Warriors so inclined, use the great force and stopping power of the Basilisk in confined combat or for suprise ambushes. The shotgun does however require a lengthy reloading should the weilder empty the weapon.

Reaper Assault-Rifle:
Remaining amongst the favourite all purpose weapons, the iconic Reaper Assault Rifle is foremost. Capable of firing further and with greater power than the smaller arms, the Reaper is also effective in closer range fire-fights. Thus the Reaper is the perfect all-round weapon. Characterised by superior accuracy and versatility, the Assault Rifle functions better in it's all purpose role rather than a specific position, being less efficient than the Basilisk in melee fights and less proficient than the Gryphon at long ranges.

Trident Machinegun:
Enduring the trials of time and the Crucible itself, the almighty Trident has stood through it all. A weapon of unrestrained force and might, the Trident Machinegun can fire numerous rounds faster than most other weapons, annihilating any who would oppose it. A weapon for the bolder, and often more wreckless warrior, the Machinegun remains a far less accurate tool, making it largely suited for tighter battles. The high amount of ammunition carried by the Trident means that reload times are inevitably longer than any other.

Gryphon Sniper-Rifle:
Provided for the warriors skilled in marksmanship, the Sniper Rifle grants the wielder tremendous ranged firepower. Capable of incredible damages at very long ranges, the Gryphon is perfectly suited to those who prefer to stay out of melee battles and pick off heathens from afar. The weapon is also equipped with a high-powered scope for honing in on distant targets. The Gryphon does however, have a slow rate of fire and carries only a small quantity of ammunition, thus the bearer will need to be cautious.

Hydra Rocket-Launcher:
One of the most feared weapons encountered, is the grisly Hydra Rocket Launcher. A devastating and powerful device, the Hydra can launch up to six deadly missiles using it's efficient multi-barreled design. Multiple rockets cover a large area, but are not very accurate, often twisting along drunken paths, while single missiles are considerably more accurate. Along with that, the extremely useful laser-guidance system aboard the Rocket Launcher allows for numerous tactical operations, especially when combined with multiple rockets.

Scarab Grenade:
After trial upon trial, the grenade remains one of the most versatile devices in the warriors arsenal. Capable of being lobbed over obstacles, bounced around corners and slid into perilous areas to flush out enemies or destroy them altogether. The true power of the Scarab however, resides in the warriors ability to time the speed and fuse according to the distance of the target.
