About this mod

Fixes the reload timings of weapons in GAMMA to complete when the gun is reloaded, not when the animation is finished. Now once your weapon's magazine is fully inserted, or the bolt is closed (As applicable), you can swap to a different animation without needing to redo the reload.

What it does:

Most of the weapons in GAMMA have reload speeds that are tied to the animation. It is only once the animation fully finishes that the reload is counted as complete. The problem is most of these animations continue long after the gun is technically reloaded. This leads to situations where if you cancel the reload by switching to a different weapon/healing/interacting once the gun appears reloaded, it will not complete, and switching back to it later will leave you holding an unexpectedly empty gun.

Now, once the magazine has been fully inserted, or the bolt has been fully closed, the gun will be "reloaded". The animation will continue as normal, but if you interrupt it, you will have a fully loaded gun when you switch back to it. This covers every weapon that spawns by default in GAMMA, including their tactical, full and grenade reloading animations, where applicable.

What it doesn't do:

Unfortunately, not all weapons could be fixed by the method I used. Any weapon that loads rounds one at a time (most shotguns, K98k) could not be fixed. This is relatively minor, as while the animations are still noticably delayed, the animations are usually short and can be interrupted at will.

Installation instructions:

Install the mod in your GAMMA instance of MO2. Load as late as possible in the load order, at minimum under "314 - Retrogue's Additional Weapons - Retrogue". Otherwise, these animations will get overwritten and the fix will be reverted.

Known Bugs:

  • Some of the reloads are reused by several different weapons, but played at different speeds. This can result in reloads finishing too soon in some cases.
  • The 249 and PKP/M unjam animations not patched, as I could not find them in the vanilla Anomaly .omfs. That place is a nightmare to seach through.

Please report any mistimed reloads (From guns that use magazine reloads) to me.  

Credits:

All animations used by this mod belong to their respective mod authors. They deserve the credit for these beautiful animations. I merely fixed the timing.
