I think the only real problem has been the alt shotgun having messed up vhots, but that's already fixed, as we've got super-Olfred to save the daay..

texture got corrupted

I missed that somehow - almost sure you need to make it Dark compatible.

I think it is safe to say texture got corrupted because of the way I uploaded it. Note to self, always use winrar before uploading it.

Strangely enough, it does give me some idea about how the texture wraps the mesh (because those invisible areas are places I just left black) but not as much as I would have liked, because it got corrupted badly and it is a jumbled mess. But now I think I should be able to make it work at least.

Somehow I don't think this one is any better.

EDIT: Joke's on me, I didn't read that part.

In all do seriousness I don't see what's so bad about the sleeveless arms, several of the weapons, including the pistol and laser pistol, lack sleeves on their models. I'm not trying to say inconsistencies are good, but rather JMP Jack's arms are no more or less consistent then the original hand models.

You have a point there, it is not like changing this one texture will change anything. But I feel like some people are avoiding this mod just because they think it is inconsistent with the original game and I feel like that's just a shame. I am just hoping to resolve the issue one way or another. (And I am almost certain that I can, but that remains to be seen I suppose.)

trying to nudge the texture around just by editing the texture itself is probably not going to cut it, you will have to do it the hard way and load the model into some model editor.

editing SS2 models is not considered a painless procedure.

You are probably right, but I have my ways. Lazy ways, but they sometimes work for some reason.

I don't think this could be further from the intended result.

It literally doesn't improve the game, at all.

Also, the arms don't even match up to the player character as seen in the cutscenes.

Furthermore, it's literally arm models from Doom 3. Super immersion breaking.

It is a matter of opinion, I feel like it greatly improves the game.

How does it not match the cutscenes exactly? By my count nothing matches the cutscenes anymore as everything should be low poly and low resolution. Any mods you can install, including some of the stuff from the Community Patch would have that issue because it is bound to be different and higher quality than the originals.

Does the arms have "DOOM 3" written on them or something? How the hell is that immersion breaking exactly? You wouldn't know they were from Doom 3 if you weren't told.

Also because single-handed wielding is like, way cooler than two-handed wielding (see collage above).

Try single-handed wielding with a rifle, we will see how cool you look after firing it

I would say it is immersion breaking. How the hell does my character handle a rifle like that?

it's a visual enhancement mod, those are completely out of scope of the Community Patch - anomalies, discrepancies and outright bugs only. exceptions can be granted in some gray areas, like implementing the bullet hole system (was 80% finished, so very strong evidence this was only omitted because of time constraints), or the shotgun hybrid slug which now resides in the AI's inventory instead of its gun (as everyone and their grandma agrees the slug unloading is the single most annoying thing found in the game), but adding a hires version of an object which has been modified to include a new part that wasn't originally there is a 100% no can do (even if the hands actually were true to the original concept, which is indeed not the case).

this is perfectly fine as a standalone mod, available to whoever wants what it offers.

I can't argue with that.

By the way, I could work on the texture a bit to try to get it to look closer to the original arm. It should have clothing on it, and I think I can make it look well enough. Let me see what I can do.

Why isn't this a part of the community patch or something? It really improves the game.

I have to say, this is one of my go to mods whenever I want to replay SS2. I just love it. It improves and modernizes the game greatly. I wish this would be integrated to the bug fixes and such. Brilliantly done.

It's doable with enough practice but it's still largely impractical for various reasons. Harder to aim, reloading would be difficult (unless you holster one and reload one at a time) etc.

I suppose you'd get the intimidation effect plus increased overall firepower but wouldn't be worth the tradeoff of accuracy. Looking down the sights of both at the same time isn't really possible but I guess you could find a way to aim them somehow.

Holding them two handed does, indeed, help with recoil, and it steadies your aim. I have fired guns before, and for me, holding a handgun with two hands steadies my aim and absorbs more recoil, although I'd wager my hands are shakier than the average person's so YMMV.

On top of that, I just think it looks cooler. Just my opinion.

Touché!

I'm not sure, but I bet something reasonable could be done. I've always hated the floating weapons in this game and now JMP fixed it. The one-handed pistols thing has always bothered me as well.

Alright, anyone up for a bounty? I'll PayPal some cash to anyone who does that.

Would it be possible to make the pistol/laser pistol held with two hands instead of one?

That did it.  Thank you for your help!   

Here's the revised Mod list:



A here are the weapons I have in-game so far:

That aapears to have done it.  Although the arm holding the shotgun doesn't appear like it does in this thread, but that's not a huge concern.  Still would be cool, though.

Hello,

I've got your addons installed with the Blue Mod Manager along with the SCP mod but for some reason they don't appear in the game as the updated models, only the original low-quality models.  The only weapon that is updated is the wrench and I think that is from the Tacticool pack.  Here is what my mod list looks like using the manager.



I've tried removing the Tacticool addon but that didn't seem to do anything.  Do I need to increase its priority?

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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)
