Small Town Responders - All Geared Up

Excerpt from the journal of Solomon Koltek, recovered from the Knox Exclusion Zone, dated 27 Nov 199X:

You know, I still remember that first day. Not when things started to go to crap but when I knew they were going to crap.

I was with a few of my old army buddies on a camping trip. We were on our way back into town from the campgrounds when we passed by a group of cops. Their paddy wagon went off the road, wrapped around a tree outside of town. There were six of them, decked out in riot gear and just... standing there. We stopped and got out, trying to see if they needed help. They were there, but... not. Next thing we know, all of them are shambling toward us. Simpkins goes down first, the first cop just latched onto his neck and bit it out in one bite. Hodges got attacked and drug down next. I was in shock at what happened, and the only thing that saved me was the helmet visor of the namblie that tried to bite me. It was down, and was about the only thing between me and death.

I'll spare this ol' journal of mine the details. At the end of it, me and Campbell were the only ones still alive. Until Campbell dropped dead one breath, and rose back up the next. That was my introduction to the apocalypse, me killing all my friends. I'd learn later about the infection, the quarantine, and everything else in the following days, as I wound up crossing paths with many of my 'fellow survivors.'

There's one thing I do want to say though. At the end, a lot of cops and police donned swat and riot gear. I guess they thought the namblies were the disgruntled citizenry. But if you ever see one of those buggers decked out in SWAT or riot gear, stop and check to see if they've got any bags or decent stuff still hanging off of them. I found a real good gas mask and a halfway decent flashlight one time when I snuck into Louisville, a year or so back.

And if you see a namblie Paramedic, for god's sake take their stuff. You need whatever gear or bandages or pills they have on them more than they do.

If you've ever used Algol's Geared Zeds mod and its dependencies, you've probably noticed that zeds of the army and police professions will spawn with gear on them. And then if you've used Small Town First Responders on top of that, you might have realized they all of a sudden don't anymore. This was due to conflicts between how Algol's Geared Zeds and that mod's dependencies and Small Town Responders handled zombies spawning in the world, and what outfits to give them. Basically, you could only have the geared up zeds from the former, or the dripped out zeds from the latter.

In brief, this mod fixes that problem and essentially allows the custom clothing, bags and content as seen in Geared Zeds to naturally spawn on the new zeds introduced in Small Town Responders. SWAT Pack's custom SWAT officers have also been reintroduced, and tweaked to reflect the departments they belong to. STR's EMS Paramedics have been overhauled, and will now spawn with a variety of bags, clothing and containers, several of which are bespoke for this mod. Finally, all of the bags and pouches have a chance to contain a variety of loot, including some form a selection of mods if you have those installed (a list will be provided below, as well as inside the mod proper.

This mod was created over a sleepless thanksgiving weekend for B41.78. C&C are much appreciated, as are bug reports.
