WARNING: UNINSTALLING THE MOD WILL BREAK YOUR UNCLE JIMBO'S GUNPACK INSTALLATION
Be ready to download and install Uncle Jimbo’s gunpack again if you just want to try out the mod or didn’t like it.
Install with Snakebite, press yes to overwrite data.
Tested only with 1k texture pack
The mod will do the following:
1 - Alternate development flow for the XM177E2 and M16
The mod edits the connect points of select barrels (E2 Carbine Barrel, A1 Rifle Barrel, Heatshield Rifle Barrel) so the suppressor sits higher on the barrel, mainly for aesthetic purposes, inspired by Peace Walker.
3 - Adds the Ground Zeroes Suppressor and Flashlight
This reuses the assets from the Ogre Mod, the Flashlight and the slightly shorter suppressor (the suppressor durability has been altered to be 30 shots, even though the game description says low durability) you can still use the default suppressor included with the mod but the flashlight is the only flashlight attachment whose connect point was edited to work with the XM177E2 Barrel
4 - Adds the option to use Grenade Launchers with the XM177E2 Barrel
Apparently the grenade launcher model aligns up almost perfectly with the E2 barrel but the option for the grenade launchers was not added in the .LUA weapon parts file. You should be able to use the launchers with the E2 barrel with the mod now.
5 - Adds a Laser Sight for the Grade 7 M16/M203
The grade 7 M16/M203 will have a laser sight, this is as seen in Peace Walker, there's also an optic sight, the Laser and the Optic Sight can be interpreted as bleeding edge R&D from Diamond Dogs.
Now that you have know what the mod does, there are some downsides to the mod you must be aware of:
1 - If you uninstall the mod, your Uncle Jimbo's gunpack installation will be corrupted
I already said this in the beginning of the description, but I reiterate it again because I don't want to hear any complaints related to it. Make sure you download Uncle Jimbo's gunpack again before installing this mod if you want to just try the mod out.
2 - Less Muzzle options
Changing the connect options has removed some muzzle options available for the barrels, if you use Zeta's unlocked Weapon Customization option you will notice this, this is because the game treats the muzzle option and suppressors connect points as the same.
3 - No M16A2 barrel
I removed the barrel from the customization options, because of the aforementioned muzzle problem, adding the barrel would require creating a custom muzzle for it.
4 - Breaks HS10 flashlight
The mod will break the integrated flashlight in the HS10 Bullpup shotgun, i didn't know UJG used the US.2 flashlight in the HS10 so i just removed it from the development parts .LUA
5 - Wrong Muzzle flash position on the edited barrels
If you have a keen eye and fire the M16/XM177E2 unsuppressed you should notice the muzzle flash is slightly off.
6 - Broken Muzzle options on The Patriot
The Patriot muzzle option will only display correctly with it’s own muzzle option.
7 - Soviet soldiers using Stingers
I don't know if this behavior is caused by the mod but in game soldiers should be using RPG-7s instead of the american Stinger Missile launcher.
If you notice any more issues, please report them in the comments.
This should be it, Happy New Year.
