(As discussed on TTLG)

This is a reduced version that focuses on the enemies, weapons, objects and sounds. I cut out the parts that were taken over from ADaoB or buggy like the first keycard, the art terminals and the bot models. What is left is a mod that's compatible with others again and still has the cool weapons and enemy models.

I know Arcaniac had planned to change the story of SS2 with his mod and he never got to that part for whatever reason, so it was left unfinished and caused troubles. That's why I reduced this mod to what's usable.

The weapons included with this mod can be downloaded and used separately as well.

If there are any more problems with it, please report. Thanks.

//Version 2.1 includes extra weapon models to work properly with SCP, and a bunch of fixed textures. do note that this mod is still not fully compatible with SCP or Secmod, slight visual anomalies may occur (nothing game breaking though).

//the RealSG addon will make the shotgun hybrids wield an actual shotgun, working around the AI joint problems and making things look nicer (also display the proper model if a shotgun object mod is installed, you can see Assidragon's SCP shotgun on the attached picture). load with higher priority than the Arcaniac pack (also see the readme).

does this work in place of, or along side of, rebirth and SHTUP?

is there actually a version of the new wrench with a textured hand? didn't find it anywhere ..

thx/bye

Started a new game with this mod, must say I loved the outfit of the training commander and the doctor in the beginning which corpse I searched and found the wrench.

What I did NOT like however, was that the keycard for the door right up the ladder, to avoid being sucked into space, was no longer on the floor.

Anyone else have experienced this? 

EDIT:
I turned off all other mods with the brains modified Mod Manager.

Everything else was working fine until this True Redux Graphics Pack, e.g. the keycard was lying on the floor with all the other mods turned on.

EDIT 2: Everything uninstalled and reinstalled. Works fine now.

1. Pick up the card outside before entering the room.
2. If the game runs too fast read on here. It's very unlikely this got something to do with the mod.
3. Yeah, Arcaniac's mod is incompatible with the latest ADaoB because it has a previous version of ADaoB integrated.

Yes. If you look inside the zip archive the folders MESH, OBJ and OBJICON are those containing graphics.

either 1, unpack only those into your mod-ready installation

or 2, unpack and repack only them into another .zip archive renaming the extension to .SS2MOD so it can be used within Mod manager.

Are there any changes to the bots (maint/security/assault)? Because since I installed the new models, they are acting weird, like getting stuck in the floor or being unable to get past some doors.

Uninstall the mod. Delete these files from the mod archive, then install the mod again:
mesh\mainbot.bin
mesh\mainbot.cal
mesh\mpbot.bin
mesh\mpbot.cal
mesh\secbot.bin
mesh\secbot.cal

Yeah, should be no problem.

You'd need to put Rebirth on top of Arcaniac's mod of course, so the models are overwritten. You could have figured that yourself if you'd at least tried. There are no weapon models in Rebirth mod so it's safe.

I have uploaded a reduced version of this mod (see first post) that focusses on the enemies, objects, weapons and sounds. I cut out the parts that were either just taken over from ADaoB or buggy like the art terminals and bot models. What is left is a cosmetical mod like rebirth, that is much more compatible with other mods like the latest version of ADaoB.

I know Arcaniac had planned to change the story of SS2 with his mod and he never got to that part for whatever reason, so it was left unfinished and caused troubles. That's why I reduced this mod to what's usable.

For questions like these I wrote something like this.
