Quick note, that .7z file contains an extra folder, so you'll need to move the contents out of DMM\VanillaShotgunPump\VanillaShotgunPump\ after installing in the mod manager.

Anyway, I like the following DML settings for a backward pump which reverses to the forward position at the same time as the pump sound:
Code: [Select]
DML1

+ObjProp -19 "AnimPost" //Shotgun
{
"Flags" "Target 2"
"Joint Num" 0
"Rate 1" 0.35
"Rate 2" 2
"Target 1" 0.20 // negative = forward, positive = backward. also feel free to play with the numbers
"Target 2" 0.00

}
Here's how it looks in SS2-RSD with my delayed shell ejection FX:

Here's a moving shotgun, there's a weird issue where if the joint goes backward it snaps instantly but if it goes forward it's smooth. still neat though.

left comments in the DML if you wanna tweak it.

the worm launcher is shoulder mounted (or rather, wrapped), I ain't budging on that.

Meh. Nothing is heavy for goggles anyway. Ultimate Chad carries a small armory around.

the feeling of heaviness is lost when the model is used in an assault rifle position, and I'm not a fan of that.

but considering how messed up the world model is (no visible trigger, the butt is all weird), it's pretty much impossible to tell what the proper way of handling should be, so anything goes, probably.

In my opinion the other pictured fusion cannon looks much better. Well, hardly an opinion when it doesn't have those fat block fingers in your face. In reality, all weapons should be two-handed pistol included. Who cares. Not everything needs to be 100% realistic.

This looks cool as fuck, takes up less screen space, doesn't shove a low res low poly model right in your face, and no block hands visible. Absolute no brainer.



Huge improvement to the aesthetics of the weapon while not actually changing the model or texture itself. I may actually consider a maxxed out heavy build again.
If the weapon's description specifically states it is shoulder-mounted, I would retconn that (change the text or just ignore it) and regret it none.

Keep up the good work.

fusion cannon really should be shoulder mounted, that old mod that did this had the right idea (though the left hand should definitely be holding the underside of the gun, not the barrel, or whatever it is).

first, third and last pic are ok, hard pass on the rest.

had a nice modding binge yesterday

All thats left are a few tweaks and clean up, assuming I don't hit any major roadblocks

I'm considering releasing different versions/variants, depending on viewmodel style and FOV, original/lowered etc. you can see the differences in the screenshots. Each gun will be separate, you can pick and choose and not need to install all of them if you dont want.

Anyway expect a release soon, not SoonTM but actually soon

vhots have to be set on the weapon model, Olfred can help with that I'm sure. then the muzzle flashes need to be set up in the gamesys, couple of ways will work, either the very basic vanilla setup, or the SCP setup which is much smoother. explore the gamesysi (sounds are also defined there). if you just need the files, snd.crf\Weapons\ is where you want to go.

anyone know how vhots work? trying to fix the muzzle flash

also where in the files is the shotgun fire and pumping sound? I wanna do a shotgun overhaul that pumps

missing back-half of the Assault Rifle
That AR doesn't look that different with a stock, the design just kinda pops it out.
The shotgun doesn't need to be altered, even at the max FOV you cant see the back. Even after shortening the model considerably you can barely see it.
Quote by sarge945:

I really wish NewDark supported Viewmodel FOV. That would fix a lot of these problems.
You can simply push the model forward/back in Blender and reexport it for whatever FOV you want.

other than the missing back-half of the Assault Rifle, this all looks extremely based.

If you end up making "fixed vanilla" versions of the weapons (versions with working bolts, the pistol slide fixed, and the rest of the models updated for high FOV), it would probably make sense to include those ones in SCP by default, and have the left-arm versions as a separate download.

Why not just cut your hands off?
Posted by: RoSoDude
« on: 23. May 2023, 16:21:44 »

My personal request, if you see fit to put work towards it, is a vanilla weapon models upgrade without left hands that does away with the polygon culling to look good at higher FOVs. The Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and the Grenade Launcher all lack right hand models, grips, and triggers due to the culling, and if you look closely you can kinda tell that e.g. the Pistol doesn't have a right side at all.

The ADaOB mod actually contains a version of the vanilla Pistol model with the slide joint reversed so that's already taken care of, but it would also be cool to have a reciprocating bolt handle for the vanilla Assault Rifle model as well.

Ideally, these are nice improvements to have as a baseline, and you can then provide a version of the model pack with and without the left hands. Of course, it's up to you how you want to do it as it's your mod project.

sarge945Might as well, judging from the NDS ss2-general Discord chat yesterday, it sounds like they're gonna be adding two handed guns in response to the demand, so no point in working on it anymore.

Should that be the case I'll fix the bugs and finish the vanilla guns and that'll be the end.
Posted by: sarge945
« on: 23. May 2023, 04:02:53 »

Are there still plans to finish the vanilla hands version?

OH GOD, ITS ALL FUCKED UP! AND YES I SQUISHED THE PISTOL BECAUSE ITS WAY TOO FREAKING WIDE!!!

I MADE THIS ENTITE MOD IN 6 HOURS THERE IS NO QUALITY ASSURANCE

AND YES THE FUSION CANNON LOOKS LIKE A DICK THATS WHY I CALL IT THE SOCK PUPPET

Vhots are an easy fix in Blender I'm just a lazy bastard. And ya I took some liberties with the energy pistol, plus I've never done an energy playthrough

Why am I even working on this, this game is literally older than me. This mod exists because I got super high and had some "I MUST MOD SS2 REVELATION" I'm supposed to be like, snorting cocaine and playing fortnite or something, but I'm just gettig stoned and playing Mirror's Edge for 100th time. Take what I say with a kilogram of salt, refer to my profile status.

using SoH.7z (assuming this is the full package), dml code converted to an actual gamesys.dml and verified loading, but I don't see any parts move on the shotgun or rifle.

also shotgun broken vhots, bad bad bad, will mess up muzzle flashes everywhere.


100% dislike of the twin handed laspistol model, looks just weird (and needs an alternate model to be SCP and Secmod compatible, will take care of that in a bit).

pistol looks deformed (squashed from right to left?), and the hands look like the surface was not processed properly, I can see the polys/vertices.

the upper hand holding the fusion cannon looks like.. uhh.. male reproductive organ. lets not do that, ok?

hand placement on emp rifle all weird, makes the rifle look short and stubby.
