I converted the shotgun from the Doom3 demo to System Shock 2. I don't know if this is considered heresy

The model itself had to be edited; a lot of faces were removed using Blender before Shock would allow the model.

I only converted the viewmodel, I might try to convert the world model as well, depends on your reactions

Suggestions are always welcome.

Regards,

-Seb

Edit: updated the mod, now with 'new' sounds.
Edit: updated with the worldmodel, thanks Nameless Voice!!

//Version 2 is SCP compatible, and probably requires NewDark.

Thank you, it's a good change for the standard shotgun. The hand looks very cool. The gun is rather plain but believable.
I noticed a little flicker on the top but it's tiny and non obtrusive.

66472592b9943

Thanks! I have not noticed the flicker yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

If anyone is interested, I have the shotgun sounds as well. If anyone needs the model's files (.3ds / .obj, textures) I'll be glad to be of service.

I'd add the sound to the mod. The few people who want a D3 shotgun without the sound can still delete it from the archive.

66472592b9b55

Archive & first post updated. Maybe this weekend I'll convert the world model as well, for the sake of completeness

66472592b9c36

That would be nice. It's kinda odd getting a different gun than you picked up.

66472592b9f79

You've done some really nice work so far - any progress with animations and the like?

66472592ba0cf

I can't do animations; first of all, there is no tool (I think) to import those animations from the D3 shotgun, second, the shotgun model of SS2 is a static mesh (correct me if I'm wrong) which can't have animations.

Then there's the problem with my limited amount of time

combined with the fact that I'd like to replace the worldmodel as well, but can't seem to convert it properly (from SS2 to a 3ds file; so I can't make the new model fit correctly). It'll take time I'm afraid.

66472592ba281

Only mêlée weapons have true animations; the guns are basically just static meshes.

Shotgun world model in .3ds format attached.

66472592ba390

Thanks! Updated the post & zip.

66472592ba473

Do you remember how many times it had been downloaded? Then I will set it back to that (plus the current).

66472592ba554

The previous zip was downloaded 16 times, can't remember the one before that

Thanks in advance!

Just a heads-up to anyone trying this mod-- If you haven't merged the Patch folder with the main install, the changed world model won't show up (since the patch updates several weapon world models, and the Patch folder overrides everything). Took me way too much hair-pulling before I figured that one out.

Alternatively, as a quick fix you can create an OBJ folder inside the PATCH folder and put the world models in there.

66472592ba7f6

I hope there are only few people left who might even run into this problem.
Anyone who follows the SS2 Technical FAQ won't have it, as the SS2 Tool merges the CRFs for them while "Patching Up".

A great mod which really enhances my favorite weapon in SS2. Thanks Seb!

The key is to make a model, change like it would a animation.

Basicly if you have 5 animations to pump the front, you would make 5 diffrent models, each at a diffrent stage of the action, and somehow* allow those models to be played in a line after each shot.

Least thats how they did in in duke3d and jdoom before they ported the models over to quake2 "that used true key frames"
(i speak of the add-on's inhancements made to them years after, not the old games themselfs

)

SS2 already supports true rotating/translating joint animations for gun parts on firing.
You'll be able to see this in action in the upcoming version of SecMod.

Do you mean the two WinZip files?

66472592bbaf0

No, he means merging the CRF files in the game's install directory with the CRFs in the "patch" folder. (CRF files are actually ZIP-archives.) The SS2Tool can do that for you btw.
