About this mod

Simply gives the appearance of the Magnums in Tomb Raider I for the Automatic Pistols, in Tomb Raider II. Does not change the firing sound.

Permissions and credits
In the 1st game, Magnums are high caliber pistols using 50. rounds. Basically, they are two Desert Eagle with magnum rounds. So shortly, MAGNUMS.

In the 2nd game, at first the devs wanted to put back these pistols (it's an intuition, since the ammo files have the same names.purpose), but instead replaced it with automatic pistols, which IMO are awful.They closely resemble the Intratec Tec-22, chambered in .22LR (according to wikiraider.com).

This mods simply gives the appearance, in inventory, holster, ammo clips and Lara's hands, of the Magnums for the Automatic Pistols, in Tomb Raider II.

Only the sound stays the same, as it needs to modify the MAIN.SFX file. You'll find a useful tool by Ultronubis (right here on the nexus) to set your own sound, or just swap it from the TR1 magnums. Just saying, cause the sound is IMO as lame as the Automatic Pistols themselves : awful. Maybe I'll upload a MAIN.SFX that does that.

It also doesn't change the OG pixelated model.

And of course, If you wonder or simply don't know, there is no mag/auto pistols in Tomb Raider III, and the swap may be impossible due to the position of Lara's hands holding its replacement (the Desert Eagle, or Deagle). However, you can copy the files and rename them (that's what I did basically) for the normal guns to play them in TR3.

INSTALLATION

Pretty simple, just put the 1 and 2 folders in your game, replacing files every time it asks. Since there is no apparent mod modifying magnums and/or automatic pistols, you'll be safe merging with other mods.

Enjoy your new pair of guns!
