+;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+; Alternative Weapon Holding settings
+;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+; This feature allows us to fire weapons in a different way: we can fire rifles (meaning any two handed guns) from hip, and 
+; pistols (meaning any one-handed guns) holding in hand (making standard pistol holding be with two hands). 
+; The benefit of such holding is speed (reduced AP cost to ready, faster target acquiring), the drawback is limited accuracy and 
+; no use of scopes. 
+; Here is the basic switch of the feature, it also controls how the feature behaves in game - the setting can go from 0-3, and 
+; here is explanation of each:
+; 0 - Turned off entirely. 
+; 1 - The alternative holding will be used only if you use NO aim clicks on a shots and you don't have your weapon raised up yet. 
+; 2 - This behaviour allows several aim levels to be treated as "alternative weapon holding", based on total aiming levels 
+;     allowed for the gun. The number of alternative aim levels is always lesser than standard aim levels, and they are displayed
+;     as YELLOW dots under NCTH. If you do not have your gun raised yet (rifle to shoulder, pistol with two hands), you may fire
+;     from the alternative holding by simply aiming within the yellow aim levels limit (usually 33-66% of standard aim levels).
+;     If you use at least one aim click above the indicated alternative levels, your merc will automatically raise the weapon to 
+;     the standard holding before the shot.
+; 3 - "Scope Mode" behaviour (default). This simply makes the alternative mode a "scope" mode. To fire rifle from hip or pistol
+;     one-handed, just press '.' key to cycle to the apropriate mode (currently indicated by an "eye" symbol). No matter if you
+;     have your rifle shouldered/pistol held two-handed, you will use the alternative mod anytime you select this mode. With this 
+;     setting, if you use the 'L' to raise your weapon, then it will be raised to a stance based on the scope mode selected.
+;     Of course, Scope Modes has to be allowed for this to work (they are as default).
+; Note that by now, this feature is only available in standing position (hopefully, in the future, I'll be able to finish 
+; animations for crouched stance). Also, by now it is unavailable for pistols when standing in water.
+; Last thing to mention: There is a new flag in Weapons.xml - "Heavygun" which says that weapon cannot be shouldered in standing 
+; position at all, and must be fired from hip then. It is only used for two-handed guns, supposedly for a rather too heavy LMGs.
+;
+ALLOW_ALTERNATIVE_WEAPON_HOLDING = 3
+
+; This says how many APs are charged to raise the weapon to alternative holdng (rifles to hip, pistols with one hand), based on 
+; standard weapon ready APs. Setting 25 here means 25% of the APs are charged to raise weapon to hip/one-handed, so a weapon with 
+; 12 APs to ready would charge 3 APs to raise to hip/one-handed. Default is 25% by now.
+; (Note that this is also AP cost to go from shoulder to hip / from two-handed to one-handed grip.) 
+;
+RAISE_TO_ALTWEAPHOLD_READY_APS_PERC = 25
+
+; This determines how many APs from regular weapon ready APs are charged when going from alternative holding to standard holding. 
+; This settings with the above one should put 100% together, as the alternative holding is supposed to be something like 
+; semi-raised gun (quarter-raised by now actullay). 
+; This will not affect standard cost for raising weapons (when gun is lowered and we choose to raise it fully).
+;
+RAISE_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD_READY_APS_PERCENTAGE = 75
+
+; This makes the shots from alternative holding to cost less APs to make up for not being able to aim and use scopes. 10 here 
+; means -10% APs to shoot from hip / one-handed grip.
+;
+FASTER_SHOT_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD_PERC = 10
+
+; The base (N)CtH penalty when firing from alternative weapon holding.
+CTH_PENALTY_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD = 30
+
+; The base penalty when aiming from alternative weapon holding, if aiming from it is allowed.
+AIMING_PENALY_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD = 30
+
+; Aiming levels of the gun are reduced percentually by this number on alternative weapon holding. So 50 here means only half aiming 
+; levels will be available when using alternative holding (keep in mind that is a positive thing in NCTH).
+AIMING_LEVELS_REDUCTION_ON_ALTWEAPHOLD = 50;

+; Energy cost on weapon manipulation
+; This is made out of two parts - the weapon recoil kick impact and the effort on keeping the weapon up based due to its weight.
+; Weapon weight:
+; The calculation of the cost is non-linear, so on lightweight guns, there is nearly no energy cost, while on very heavy guns,
+; the effect is significant. This is mainly important when trying to shoulder rather heavy weaponry (LMGs, anti-material SNs), 
+; as those are more likely adviced to be fired from hip (LMGs) or on bipod. 
+; Strugling with the weapon weight is reduced greatly in crouching position or if holding the gun on hip rather than shoulder. 
+; And it is almost or totaly erased when the weapon is resting on something or you are in prone position, best with a bipod. 
+; The setting here represents percentual modifier to the final cost, so you can tweak it up or down as you like. 
+; 0 = disabled. 100 = default. Max is 250 (rather excessive).
+ENERGY_COST_FOR_WEAPON_WEIGHT = 100
+
+; Weapon recoil kick:
+; This is a little different from struggling with weapon weight. It is about how much the gun "kicks" our shoulder (or hand).
+; Single shots may not prove much effect, but on autofire this may incure some nasty energy loss with certain guns. 
+; The formula is based on weapon impact and weight, where weight actually help us out here, since it absorbs the back force
+; of the recoil. Again, the cost is reduced by stance (nearly erased by bipod and/or weapon resting, greatly reduced when 
+; firing from hip), foregrip etc. This is mainly important if you intend to fire many long autofire bursts, when you may 
+; (should) consider firing from hip as a more beneficial stance for it.
+; The setting here represents percentual modifier to the final cost, so you can tweak it up or down as you like. 
+; 0 = disabled. 100 = default. Max is 250 (rather excessive).
