Description…
GoldenEye has always been known for having body armour, whereas the majority of FPS games have health packs. With the "Footsteps" patch, you can modify your health on the fly. These first aid kits are based off of a Soviet military satchel, and fit in well with the world of 007. There are two versions available to select from. One (a) features a green cross against a square white background, while the other (b) is a more subdued grey cross stitched directly onto the canvas material. By combining either of these with one of the provided action blocks, you can easily add usable health items to your custom missions.

*Note: You MUST have a Footsteps modified GE ROM, which supports the 2B action with FD and FE commands (to copy and alter RAM data)! The action blocks will not work without those changes.

Instructions…
Open up your ROM in the Model Editor menu, select "Object" type from the list, and choose the prop model in which you want to replace. After clicking "Edit", click on the "Import Model Template" button on the upper left of the menu. From this window, choose the P_Z prop model template file you like. Should another window then pop up asking you to choose a ROM to save as (since new textures may be added), either select an existing one, or else type in a new name, then save. Once the model has finished importing, simply click "Inject into ROM and Update" to save your ROM again. If you do not inject the file into ROM, it will not be saved into it. This will replace the original GE object with the new one, and it will be ready to use in your custom setups.

You must then do the same thing with the inventory model. Select "Gun" type out of the list, go to the "23 Flare Pistol" entry, and then click "Edit" next to it. Click the "Import Model Template" option, and choose the G_Z model template version you prefer. When it asks if you would like to have the additional gun details imported, make sure you choose yes. Once imported, go to "Inject into ROM and Update" to save the changes.

There are a few extra easy things to do from this following list…
Set Sound Effect of Gun 23 to "FFFF - No Sound" in Weapon Stats menu.
Update gun names (9834 & 989F) in "LgunE" text file. [First Aid Kit* & first aid kit*]
Update "flare" ammo type name (A416) in "LpropobjE" text file. [first aid kit]
Update gun pickup name (A434) in "LpropobjE" text file. [a first aid kit.*]
Optional - Update Max Magazine Size for 11 Flare type in Ammo menu.

How to use…
Included in the zip are three action blocks. Each of them work in the same manner, but will heal the player by different amounts. One is for a modest 25% heal, another at a generous 50%, and the third will outright replenish full health. You can edit these by whatever amount you like, however. Collect a weapon/item (set as ID 23), and equip it from your watch menu. Pressing the fire button will use it, should you have less than full health. I've added a sound effect on use, but you can change or remove it entirely. It should support all standard control styles (not strictly Z press).
