come :)

------------

The current, second release of this mod contains new features including:
-(a variety of) drug planting, harvesting, processing, dealing, smuggling mechanics
-property management
-new npcs/contacts as the story progresses
-multiple reputation systems
-a special system called 'Heat', which is a somewhat different approach to the police system
-a completely new storyline with its own characters, all of whom play a special role in the operation
-a unique save system (the standard San Andreas missions and save system are not safe to use once the mod is installed).
-most of which directly interact and correlate with one another (example: drug sold at one specific location interacts with that location's reputation, your money for future sales in that area, your heat, etc).
-custom radio

As the mod progresses, the player gets a feeling of genuine progression towards building a network and operation, not merely just experiencing standalone and not interconnected mechanics.

Requirements:

- GTA San Andreas PC v1.0 US/EU - (important you have a clean v1.0 San Andreas version, and it is preferable you don't have other mods installed)
- CLEO 5
- Optional but recommended: SilentPatch, Widescreen Fix

Installation:

After installing CLEO 5 to you San Andreas folder:
1 - Copy 'drug_empire_v1.0.2.cs' to your GTA San Andreas/CLEO folder.
2 - Copy the models/txd/'drugsmenu.txd' file into GTA San Andreas/models/txd folder.
3 - Start a new game, and go behind the store near Grove Street to begin the story.

Radio installation:

Copy the MP3 files from "San Andreas User Tracks" to:

Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\User Tracks

If your game asks for shortcuts, create shortcuts to the MP3 files inside the User Tracks folder (right click- create shortcut on all 9 audio tracks).

Then launch GTA San Andreas and use:

Options > Audio Setup > User Track Options > Scan User Tracks

If the tracks do not appear, also check:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\User Tracks and repeat the process.

Controls:

You will get popup texts each time a new control is unlocked, however if you do not remember one, 
the ones you will usually use are:

- P
- Y
- TAB+P
- TAB+O
- H 
- F6 for the Black Market Menu, and F5 for the visual inventory.
(note: I do not own, nor did i create the visuals used for the F5 visual inventory, they belong entirely to the creator of the 'Black Market' mod aside from minimal retexturing, i simply wanted to pay respect by incorporating such an extraordinary feature).

- NUM+7 : save game
- NUM+9 : load game
(note: As opposed to previous versions, now you can save the game anywhere and it has been bugfixed).

 Gameplay/Advice:

- Once you start the story, it is relatively straightforward what to do, however, for the sake of realism, some npc markers do not spawn automatically from far away but only if you get close to the specific npc, 
therefore reading the texts about their location is [STRONGLY ADVISED]! ! !

- During a specific gameplay mechanic called 'slinging', if an npc you are supposed to interact with seems unresponsive, do not be afraid the murder them in cold blood, it will solve the issue.

Thank you everyone for testing!
