//added a complemented version, which includes all of the available Tacticool models, and Eldron's psi amp (with RocketMan's hires psi amp world model) in one easy to download archive. the complemented version is required for SCP, as it includes the alternate laser pistol model. also (as many users seem to miss the point), if you've got the complete package, you don't need anything else.

Your work is amazing; you are a talentuous guy!
I ever thinked the original model for pistol a bit "lifeless", it looked miss something, if you can understand me. Your model is a lot more complete for me.
The simple view of picture make me to want it! I'll to download and enjoy it!

[665c0bcc68bc9miracle.flame]

Marvelous!
I'm very glad you've showed up.
At first I thought you're joking again about the "extra" feature but it really works!

Keep up. This game deserves your talents.

Good job Mercurius!
Slide barrel action shot below.

[665c0bcc68e6bMercurius]

Nice shot Kolya!

I was too slow to get a screencap of that

[665c0bcc68f9fMercurius]

*BUMP*


Shotgun Added!

[665c0bcc69089Kolya]

And what a nice one!

[665c0bcc691bfmiracle.flame]

I really appreciate the idea of keeping original design.
Are you going to think about hand models too for two-handed guns?

[665c0bcc69333Mortis]

very nice! Love the new pistol now gonna try the shotgun!

I wanted to add an arm gripping the pump on the shotgun but because the way that dark engine has the player's field of view, the arm would have been badly distorted (tiny hand and long stretched forearm).  I couldn't think of a way to make it look good without changing the weapon's position and in keeping with the original concepts, I wanted to leave the weapon in the exact same place.  Also adding the arm like that would have blocked up a lot of the camera.

If you can figure out a way to make it work or a way to change the FOV, let me know

Thanks for comments all!

Besides, they're static meshes-so with the shotgun, despite it obviously being a pump-action, it wouldn't cycle for the next round. I have some custom sounds for the shotgun, I'll try and get in contact with the orignal author, maybe they can be released with this replacement. I hope you get around to at least all the conventional weapons with this-you do a good job and it's high time the weapons got a high poly redo

[665c0bcc6976bSalk]

Congratulations! Both models look very very good!

I have always sorta assumed the device added to the side of the shotgun extending to the pump handle was an auto-pumper

[665c0bcc69ebaLordYupa]

I just wanted to say that these models are fantastic, and that you absolutely should do as many more of the weapons as you can.  Between your models, Assidragon's, and Eldron's, we will soon have decent looking versions of almost everything equippable! Hooray

[665c0bcc6a027xdiesp]

Need some help over here! I can't see the hands on some custom weapon models, like Tacticool's shotgun.

My SS2 is mod ready and I have actually reached Deck 4 with SHTUP, Rebirth Complemented and Straylight's Mod mixed together in the SS2 Mod Manager. I also went as far as extracting the wrench from Arcaniac's mod because I didn't want to use the rest of his models.

But the mistery of the missing hands eludes me.

[665c0bcc6a149xdiesp]

Fantastic Tacticool, as you hopefully update all the weapons this is going to be another stable of SS2 mods! 

[665c0bcc6a39dNameless Voice]

There are no visible hands in the shotgun model.

[665c0bcc6a493xdiesp]

Rotfl, so he is really holding the shotgun with one hand? :p Fine!

[665c0bcc6a5b4Kolya]

That's how he always did. Goggles is just badass like that.
Also he needs his free hand for eating junk and playing gamepig.

[665c0bcc6a6b1sgt.jonas grant]

well... i think the exact words for that are  *you *rock* *man*

[665c0bcc6a7c0Midnite Ryu]

Both The shotgun and pistol are great, I like how you made the pistol have engraved emblems and the appearance of a  serial number as per actual military sidearms a very nice touch. Do you have any plans for the other weapons of SS2?

[665c0bcc6a8a9Devo]

I love these replacements, keep up the good work.

[665c0bcc6a9b2Gaco]

One of my favorite mods for sure. So true to the original style and yet so refreshingly good-looking. Great work

[665c0bcc6aab4Legion23]

I don´t post usually but have to say: Gread mod. It actually made me install Shock2 again.
