(As discussed on TTLG.)

INSTALLATION NOTES
Start a new game when you install this mod.
If you have Rebirth installed you can use the rebirth patch provided below, making sure the installation/activation takes place in this order:
1. Rebirth
2. Secmod
3. Secmod rebirth patch
Make sure to reconfigure your controls from the options menu and set keybindings for fast-throwing handgrenades and equipping the new weapons.


Short incomplete list of what's notably new

- Many new weapons, armours and items in general
- Increasing difficulty changes monster hitpoints/speeds, camera noises and detection delays, how long the security system is down on a hack, amount of critical nodes in hack/modify/repair minigames, research times, amount of chemicals needed in researching and more
- Significant boosts to Repair and Modify, nerfs to FEDs
- Many more inventory object combinations, most of which require the Tinker trait
- Real laser beams, different projectile/melee impact fx depending on target (including the player) or terrain surface, blood/goo splattering and other new effects, polished old effects
- Shotgun-wielding hybrids can break their shotguns dynamically instead of always having broken ones
- Setting enemies on fire with high-level pyrokinesis, flamethrower and incendiary explosions in general
- Melee attackers are better at actually hitting and putting pressure on the player, also if spiders can't reach you they may try to jump at you
- Security system more of a challenge: security panels need to be hacked to deactivate alarms, destroyed cameras will cause Xerxes to send in a few monsters but the cameras are hackable to circumvent that
- Re-evaluated and rebalanced older additions
- Stackable handgrenades and other throwables
- less crashing (save before bulkheads as always just in case though)


Compatibility
This mod IS NOT compatibile with any *.mis or *.gam mod!
BUT!
It should have all ADaoB fixes itself.

TF, I've been waiting to try this out.  Looks great, and I hope to see more from you in the future.

Does this mod work with mod manager? Every time I try to activate the game with mod manager it opens a screen wanting me to add more files.. and at the bottom of mod manager it says  "can't open activemod.dta"

I've corrected the install instructions a bit... try again now

[6742b56ed17afAssassin]

This made me find the SS2 CD and install the game again.It was a loong wit to v.2

[6742b56ed19c5Chandlermaki]

Just got done testing this mod, and it's now officialy my favorite. This is REALLY great.

[6742b56ed1b5fm3450]

Playing this mod is like playing the game for the first time again... its incredible. I read the instructions better and figured out how to run the mod

[6742b56ed1d5cKolya]

I have split this archive into the actual mod and the rebirth patch. Both can be extracted into the SS2 dir or used with the modmanager as usual.

There is no Cryo card at the beggining for me.

[6742b56ed2002ThiefsieFool]

Check out the upper cryotubes, you can open them from nearby.

[6742b56ed2131Mr Rayford]

Wow, you wern't kidding when you said you moved stuff around.

[6742b56ed2274miracle.flame]

Desperately looking forward to start Shock anew this evening with SecMod. I've been waiting for this a whole year if I count right.))

[6742b56ed25baRainalkar]

TF, did you try playing it multi? I'll give it a go from tommorrow. And I have a bunch of question on a lot of stuff... But later
