yes. whichever mod is on top will override the one(s) below it.

Can you update tacticool with this left arm mod? That way it can be combined together which is more aesthetically pleasing. https://www.moddb.com/mods/i-found-my-left-arm-weapons-mod/images/assault-rifle#imagebox

This is an amazing weapon model pack if I may add, but I can't help but wonder something; are these models available for modification or porting?

By that I mean, is one able to port these models for a mod to another game? It might get this pack a bit more highlight outside the System Shock 2 community. Also, it seems like Mercurius hasn't been here in a long time.

Note: I have only considered doing the porting, but I haven't done a thing until I get closure if I am able to or not. Figured I might ask here in case someone in the future feels like doing that too.

But the texture work is beyond my artistic ability.  Eldron knows his shit.

Also the model would need changing because the glowing is done with fullbright polygons.
Well, I could certainly help out with the modeling needed. It's just some changes so nothing that time consuming.

Wouldn't you yourself be able to change the texture accordingly?
No.

feel free to point anyone capable at the list of requests, and throw money at them along the way, if you think that's what will get them going.

Nice idea. Could also be expanded to get new enemy models that are more faithfull to the vanilla compared to rebirth.

I'd throw in even more cash for that.

Proposal: some of the core community members and Shock 2 know-it-alls opens a donations account. Community all chips in. With this account, an artist (freelance contractor) is hired, hand-picked to do the remaining weapons with said know-it-all's technical and design oversight. There's the Fusion cannon, Laser Rapier, Crystal Shard, Time disruptor thingie (I forget the name), and the two remaining exotic weapons. 6 models. Shouldn't be too pricey.

I would pay for an upgraded psi amp that's exactly the same as Eldron's but with the glowy bits in the right places.

I'd pony up some change for that in a heartbeat. Hell, even if there's little guarantee that it even goes anywhere. Would love a (faithful!) update to the EMP Rifle, Annelid weapons, etc.

Luckily the Fusion Cannon and Laser Rapier look pretty badass already, but improvements there would still be great.

It's such a shame Shock 2 has been around this long and still doesn't have a full or even near-full HD weapon set. Tacticool creates inconsistency as it is incomplete, yet its weapon updates are too perfect to not install, resulting in imperfection either way.

Wishful thinking, but this game deserves better. And hey, it's a better proposal than gambling your money by the thousands on kickscammer.com as people are so fond of doing.

Lol, I was kidding, but some of the red will be fine I think. Anyway, I had my own package of mods that was working fine prior to my recent upgrade to SCP beta 2. I've been modding SS2 for nearly 2 decades, that's why I would have never thought to bother with "newbie guides" and such. I'll take it as a lesson in humility.
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 05. August 2016, 19:28:38 »

added some red color just to be sure.

« on: 05. August 2016, 19:12:46 »

Because I'm half blind and didn't notice the "unique and complete package required for SCP users".  :P
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 05. August 2016, 17:39:24 »

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.
the newbie guide exist for a reason you know. also, I'm genuinely interested what drove you to ignore everything, and just load (some) outdated mods semi randomly.

« on: 05. August 2016, 17:24:48 »

Just to be sure I redownloaded the 1.1 version of the laser pistol from the first page, and I still get the original version if I set it to charged mode.

No, certainly not, please post your shock2.log and your ss2bmm.log. Which version exactly did you download?
Posted by: Fallen+Keeper
« on: 05. August 2016, 03:19:01 »

Is it normal for the Laser Pistol to revert to the original model whenever I switch to "charged" mode?
Posted by: Dolemite
« on: 03. July 2015, 22:36:11 »

Yes, moving Tacticool right above fixed objects totally did the trick! The new gun/hand model is showing up now. Thanks gents, I really appreciate the help.

I had previously played through the GOG version of SS2 back when it was first released (easily one of the top gaming experiences of my life), but that time it was with minimal modding (mostly just SHTUP). This time I'm throwing in pretty much every fun little mod I can find. It's like a whole new game now.  :)

Thanks again!
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 03. July 2015, 20:40:41 »

aha - the last fixed object pack includes a fixed up pistol model that will override Tacticool, that means you need to move Tacticool right above fixed objects. guide modified accordingly.

nice catch, you two.

« on: 03. July 2015, 20:27:54 »

I set my order up exactly like the picture in the modding guide post Voodoo and had the same problem as Dolemite.  I think Tacticool maybe needs to be higher than one of those 5 other mods.  Not sure which one of those is overwriting Tacticool.  Maybe SHTUP?
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 03. July 2015, 20:23:26 »

incorrect mod priority, most probably. Tacticool needs to have higher priority than SCP/ADaoB/whatever other mod that also includes a pistol model. see here: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447.0
Posted by: Green
« on: 03. July 2015, 20:18:36 »

The noob modding guide post shows a mod order that is making this happen.  Load up the mod manager and move Tacticool close to the top of your priority list and it will fix this problem.

Hey...I downloaded and installed the Tacticool Complete mod and while it's working (I have the new wrench psi-amp, for example), when I get the pistol it's NOT showing the new one. Am I doing something wrong? I did notice a file in the Tacticool folder that says "vanilla pistol." Do I have to do something to get the new pistol working? Thanks. Great mod, BTW.

Thanks for keeping this updated, Voodoo. Will we need an updated version after SCP beta comes out?
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 28. February 2015, 00:13:13 »

updated the complete package to 1.04 - small fix that makes sure things will work properly with the upcoming SCP release.

//updated the complete package to 1.05 - psi amp transparency issues are now fixed.

So if the pistol can have a sliding action, can the shotgun too???

There's obviously a device on the side that "auto pumps it", without requiring the arm to manually pump it.

BUT, you never see an animation for the auto pump???

It takes a very small amount of imagination to come to the conclusion that he's talking about the EMP rifle.  :headshot:

To reward thorough readers? Seriously, I guess we all just assumed Merc would update it himself or missed it. Anyway, it's up now. The previous wrench had been downloaded 23688 times.

Any reason why this is not updated in the first post ?
Try this wrench and let me know if it works.  Try to get a screenshot of it too.

I noticed that the inventory icon for a jammed shotgun is still the vanilla version. That might hold true for all the weapons, but the shotgun is the one I've seen most, for obvious reasons. That shouldn't be hard to fix. Even I could probably do that, if no one minds.
