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:
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:

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

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.

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.

PacmikeyAh, I use the same.

Good that you already got a solution!

based king eldrone has saved the day, muzzle flash fixed

Are you working with Blender, or which tool do you use?
And if anyone wants to know anything from me, feel free to send me a private message or @ me. I don't browse all topics anymore.

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.

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.

Here's a legit model.
extra image for no reason...

Looks great! Is the full grip and trigger in there somewhere?

RoSoDudeYou mean something kinda like this?

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.

Are there still plans to finish the vanilla hands version?

be careful with your wishes, the universe has a strange sense of humor.

Self-preservation is surprisingly efficient.  Seldom do we discover this first-hand.

so am I the only person on this entire forum who actually likes living and wishes he would never die?

Listen here NATO Phonetic alphabet wannabe number 47

You DO use his mod, and you DO especially like the laser pistol.

You only have 60 years left on this planet. Use it wisely

naah.

Not anymore.  You just made best friends with Voodoo.  I wouldn't be surprised if he abducts you and keeps you as a pet.

yeah maybe you should cut down a little bit on whatever that thing is. probably not too good for you.

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.
