Throw any Grenade with one hotkey without having to equip them!
What's new in 3.0:
==============
- The currently selected grenade is now visible in the HUD if you have DarnUI a11 and the DarnUI Grenade addon installed
- Improved throw times
- Important for modders: The Grenade FormList EditorID has changed, if you've made any custom addons for this mod, you will have to update accordingly
- This has simply been updated to the same version that's integrated in FWE, do not use this mod together with FWE
Description
=========
Most popular FPS games today have a practical grenade hotkey, that lets you throw your grenades without having to switch to them first. Sadly Fallout 3 lacked this feature until now.
With the Grenade Hotkey Mod you are able to throw any type of grenade and automatically switch right back to your previous weapon with the press of a single button. A seperate hotkey allows you toggle through the grenade type you are throwing without having to go into the inventory!
How to use this mod
===============
Hold your Grenade Throw Hotkey (default is G) to instantly equip a grenade and charge the throw. Release the hotkey and you will throw the grenade and switch back to your previous weapon.
Toggle between the kind of grenade you wish to throw by hitting the Grenade Toggle Hotkey(default H). You will hear a short 'click' sound that indicates your grenade type has changed. If you have the DarnUI update installed you will always see what grenade is currently selected.
You will only toggle between grenades that you actually have in your inventory.
You can change both hotkeys with the 'Grenade Hotkey Menu' item in your inventory (under the Aid tab).
If you have the DLC Mothership Zeta, simply load the 'Zeta addon' after the main esp, so add support for Cryo Grenades.
PLEASE NOTE
============
- The Grenade Throw Hotkey will not work if you have absolutly no weapon equipped, as in barefisted (brassknuckles, powerfists and such still work).
- This mod does not support the grenades used within the Operation Anchorage simulation(they have a different EditorID from the grenades used in regular Fallout)
Hint: You can abort the grenadethrow by holding down your mousebutton and releasing the grenadethrow hotkey. You will then equip your weapon again without having thrown the grenade.
Install
=====
Extract the .ESP File into your Fallout 3 Data Folder (for example C:\Program Files\Fallout 3\Data\)
Uninstall
=======
Delete the file FPS Grenade Hotkey.esp located in \Fallout 3\Data
For Modders
==========
Creating a compatibility patch for custom grenades is very simple. Simply create an override copy of the FormID List 'GrenadeList' and add the formID of your custom grenade into the list. Presto, you're done.
Just note that if a user wants to use several such compatibility patches at once, he needs to create a Merged Patch with FO3Edit.
Compatibility
==========
Not compatible with FWE(since it's already integrated there)!
Otherwise shouldn't conflict with anything(of course don't bind the hotkeys to keys that you already use for something else)

2.1 Improved Grenade throw times. Greatly reduced script size by utilizing form lists, which also makes it easy for modders to add compatibility for their own grenades for this mod.
2.0 Added a toggle key that allows you to switch to any type of grenade
1.0 Added menu to bind the grenadethrow to a different hotkey
0.8 Disabled Grenade hotkey while absolutly no weapon is equipped(brassknuckles and such still work), it caused the script to bug out
