I have finally completed the testing of the homegrown elements of this mod, as well as compiling the borrowed elements of this mod.
The basic premise of this pack it that long range weapons are not allowed. No Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Rockets, Blaster Launchers etc.
What this mod adds is:- Dart Pistol (Stun damage in a pistol
- Requires Research)
- Flashbang Grenades (A stun grenade to complement those made by converting stun bombs from the launchers. - Requires Research)
- Blaster Pack (An IED made from 1 Blaster Bomb and 1 HE Pack. Packs a nice punch.
)
- Zapper (An improved/smaller Stun Rod. - Requires Research)

Translation Help Wanted:I have strings complete for English (US - as that is my native language) and attempted GB spellings, but can't promise accuracy. I have added in other languages, from the other mods as I have found them, but the language support is very limited at best. I would greatly appreciate any help offered in any of those languages. I have probably even messed some otherwise correct stings by converting them from UTF-8 to ANSI.

STR_BLASTERPACK: Blaster Pack
STR_BLASTERPACK_UFOPEDIA: Research on the alien guided missile launcher has led to a new understanding of explosive technologies.

This innovation demonstrates the best of our human ingenuity.
STR_FLASHBANG_GRENADE: Flashbang Grenade
STR_FLASHBANG_GRENADE_UFOPEDIA: Recent findings from some of the alien captives, have given our scientists new insight into disabling these Extra-Terrestrial foes. Using a blast of intense light energy, these new "FlashBang" grenades stun our opponents and may prove useful in capturing live Aliens.

We have implemented this understanding in developing a Improved FlashBang Grenade that doubles the effectiveness of the previous model.
STR_SECTOID_MEDIC: Sectoid Medic
STR_SECTOID_MEDIC_UFOPEDIA: The recent interrogation of an alien medic of the Sectoid Race has led to a new understanding of the physiognomy of our adversaries.
