## Overview

### Weapon Jamming
Adds a propability to jam a weapon when firing. Jams can be cleared by 
reloading or by using the clear jam-key.

### Temperature simulation
Introduces weapon temperature simulation depending on weapon and bullet
mass. Hot weapons are more prone to jamming. Depending on weapon type 
the accuracy and in extreme cases the muzzle velocity might be reduced 
on high temperatues. Adds smoke puff and heat refraction effects to 
indicate this.

### Spare barrels
Adds the ability to changes barrels on machine guns to compensate for those 
effects.


## Usage
To clear a jammed weapon, press Shift+R.


*needs documentation on swapping barrels*


## Dependencies

`ace_interaction`
Create missing documentation placeholders Creates placeholder documentation for modules which did not previously have any. If a module had the same name and apparent purpose as a module from AGM, AGM's documentation was imported into the placeholder. These documentation are useful to users for explaining what ACE3 changes. They are also useful to community admins who want to create a custom distribution of ACE3 and need to know which modules to disable. The documentation needs to be significantly fleshed out before it's ready for public consumption, but this should be a helpful start. 2015-05-13 00:28:18 +00:00			`---`

Document module dependencies Add a list of dependencies to each module's documentation. Also add a note to the documenation of modules which are a dependency for many other modules. Dependency lists are pulled from each module's config.cpp. 2015-05-13 19:31:53 +00:00			`ace_interaction`
