Tags: °weapon °SS2

IMPORTANT!!!
This mod is meant as an extension of Tacticool Complete Mod, R&R&R Emp Rifle 3 Mod and RocketMan Fusion Cannon Mod.

This mod adds a left arm to a few weapons:

-Tacticool Assault Rifle (in the Tacticool pack)
-Tacticool Grenade Launcher (in the Tacticool pack)
-Tacticool Shotgun (in the Tacticool pack)
-R&R&R EMP Rifle
-RocketMan Fusion Cannon

"Addons & Alt Version" you can find scrolling down this post or clicking here. Contains:

-"JMP Fusion Cannon Alt 1.0" & "JMP Shotgun Alt 1.0" are 2 alternative version of this weapons (see the screenshots). Load with Mod Manager with higher priority than other weapon packs.

-"JMP New Shotgun Sound" replace the original SG sound with a new one. The SG hasn't an animation for pump action so, I suppose it's automatic. I've added a real SG soundeffect without pump action sound.  Load with Mod Manager with higher priority than other weapon packs.

SHTUP-ND and SCP are optional, but recommended, especially if you want to have hires muzzle flashes on both the shotgun and the rifle.


Thank to Mercurius, RocketMan & Rainalkar for their weapons models (and support) and Voodoo47, Marvin, ZylonBane, Olfred, Kolya and nemyax for supporting me (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone).

GJ!

1.1 = clothed arm?

[673fa8694503ccallum13117]

Haha, now that I think about it, the default weapon stance IS a little awkward. Neat idea!

[673fa8694519cJMP Jack]

Thanks guys!
I've already tried to make a cloth on the arm, but I don't like the result (I'm very finicky). Maybe in the future: I need to do some practice with blender, before.

callum, Indeed, after a while, the right arm begins to get tired... This weapons seems to be heavy!

[673fa869452adRocketMan]

BTW, the RRR emp rifle is not a tacticool weapon.  This could be misleading to new users looking for the progenitor weapon used in this mod.

[673fa869453beJMP-Jack]

You're right. Thanks for the suggestion. I updated the description. I didn't change the title because "SS2 JMP Jack's Left Arm Patch for Tacticool Weapons, R&R&R Emp Rifle 3 and Rocket Man Fusion Cannon" (when we are all satisfied and will be available), looks too long.
Now new users shouldn't have problems.

[673fa86945564voodoo47]

changed the description a bit, as technically, the mods are not required (all textures are present), so if someone wants to use them without their respective parent mods, they can - as mentioned, mod dependency is to be avoided if possible.

[673fa8694569eRocketMan]

Of course.  My comment was intended to discriminate the source material.  Actually the 3 Rs stand for Rainalkar, Rainalkar's Room-mate and RocketMan.  I'm 1 of 3 authors to be clear but none of us are affiliated with Tacticool.  No need to make a big messy title with all our names in it.  It's perfectly practical and fine IMO to simply explain the origin of the mod in the first post, so people understand this is a "value-added" mod that builds on 2 other ones, with appropriate references.

EDIT:  ...which I see has already been taken care of.

🤔

[673fa86945ad7RocketMan]

Maybe it should have been 4 Rs?

What if i use alternative version of granade launcher from Assidragon - raven_gl ? Should i launch it just at top priority?

Correct. Highest priority than my mod. But in this way the character will haven't the left arm (only with the replaced grenade launcher)

Thanks, i check it - works great. But the pistol.. it's become too big or i'm wrong?

Sorry for the delay. It depends on what you mean for "too big". Yeah, Tacticool pistol is big compared to other weapons. So, I think it's normal.

[673fa8694664fJMP Jack]

I was already thinking about changing the position slightly, to make it look a little smaller, just like the original.

[673fa869467a3Chandlermaki]

Am I losing it or are these arm models ripped directly from Doom 3?

I't "Heavily modified" arm from doom marine. Read here: "A special thanks to Doom Marine, for giving me his left arm."

[673fa86946b4aJoe]

What about for the pistol?

One other thing that always bothered me about SS2 was the way the weapons sway from side to side when you move with them. Looks so goofy. Is there a fix for that?

[673fa86946c7dJMP Jack]

Hi Joe.
I've already try to change pistol position but when I export the model, the animation of the slider doesn't work anymore.
I don't know how to fix it.

About the weapons movements, I think it can fix. The question is "how"? I'm sure someone more experienced than me can do it (I started using blender with dark engine a week before doing the mod).

[673fa86946ef8Marvin]

Open cam_ext.cfg, find the line ";shock_gun_bob_factor 0.2", remove the semi-colon and change the value to your desire.

Gotcha, totally missed that!

[673fa86947309voodoo47]

the downloads need a cleanup, it's not clear what's in the big package (some extras like the shard from RM's pack seem to be included), some updates are in a later post, the pulse rifle is here and also in its own topic - I haven't been keeping track of things for just a few days and now I have no idea what's what.

honestly I think all the weapons should be available as separate downloads, while slightly cumbersome if you just want them all, it's much less confusing and easier to track and update.

[673fa86947439voodoo47]

JMPJ did quite a messy thing before leaving, basically smashing the last versions of his models together with a bunch of other weapon mods into one big lump of facepalmness. it's cleanup time:

-split the pack into three parts
-the shotgun vhots have been fixed (Olfred)
-got rid of all redundant and improperly formatted files
-the latest version of the pulse rifle has been moved into the pulse rifle topic
