Welcome to my mod project!
Back in 2022 I started this project with the the purpose to Fix all the Iron Sights of vanilla weapons!
One day I just got tired of those nonsensical misaligned sights on the top of the Pistol, Hunting Rifle, SMG, Ak47, etc...
and I started looking for a way to align them and improve the Model of the poor looking ones.
And when I finally succeeded, I certainly didn't stop there!
As time went by, I studied and found a way to improve the weapons in their various aspects, from their Model and Textures to the Shooting System itself
I even managed to add New Components to the weapons and give shape to those Mods (such as Retracting Stock, Magazine Extender, etc.) that you don't normally see!
At some point I decided to completely overhaul the concept of the Scope Aiming System, allowing the Player to use the Real Scope installed on all Vanilla Weapons rather than a small reticle drawn on a black background.
Once I got the hang of it, I was able to add more complexity on the Movement System, making it much more Interesting and dynamic.
In the future I plan to add more features to the mod, I certainly won't stop there!
Being one of those people who had the chance to play and fell in love with this game from the very first Alpha 1 back in 2013
(yes, the one that crashed every five minutes), I wanted to develop this mod as a tribute to the good old days!
The Mod currently works for Version 1.0.
Keep in mind, because it uses libraries in order to work, it may not be EAC friendly! So I suggest you to disable it, at least when you go MP!
➡️ Stay Tuned for more additions! ✔️
➡️ Here is the link of the LATEST VERSION of the Mod. 😊
. . . NEW VIDEOS INTRODUCING THE MOD WILL BE POSTED SOON . . .
IN THE MEANTIME, HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE FIRST VERSION, Apr. 2022:
While developing this Mod is a really exciting hobby for me, this process also takes a lot of time and considerable effort.
And often between work and study I confess that sometimes it is not easy to find free time to devote myself to this.
Generally I never ask for donations and the like, but if by any chance you like what I'm trying to build,
Please consider maybe buying me a nice coffee! (Yes, I'm a caffeine addict 👀)
You shouldn't in any chance to feel obligated to do so, but if you do decide to do it I want you to know that is comes greatly appreciated.
Donation or not, I would like to thank all the people from the heart ❤️ to all that download and use the DLX - Weapons Fix Mod!
I am very grateful for you following me and the development of this mod! I hope you enjoy it!
My intentions are to keep developing and supporting my mod indefinitely!
Because I love this game and I want to try to improve it as much as possible!
➡️ ALIGN AND IMPROVE THE IRON SIGHTS
• The iron sights have been shortened to the correct height.
• Scopes, Reflex and Iron Sights are perfectly aligned.
• Iron Sights that did not match the aesthetics of the weapon have been replaced with a new model.
• Front and Rear Sights have been added to weapons that lacked them.
• Meshes and Textures on the back of the weapon have been improved to maintain quality when aiming.
• The zoom on the iron sight is now set correctly.
➡️ SCOPE AIMING SYSTEM OVERHAUL
• The Scope Aiming concept has been completely overhauled, removing the old zoom method based on a reticle on a black background.
• You can now use the scope installed on the weapon directly (In a COD-BF style).
• It works on all Vanilla Weapons, and could theoretically work on all weapons (with a proper configuration of the XML "DLX-ConfigFile.xml" file)
• A system has been created to make the scope system dynamic and interesting in terms of movement and light/shadow on the lens.
• Reticles are customisable in Shape, Size and Colour. Weapon scopes are customisable separately!
• Textures and Mesh have been improved so you can aim with the scope without losing texture quality.
• An external lens reflects the environment in a dynamic way.
• Scratches have been added to the right side of the scope to differentiate between 2X, 4X and 8X scopes.
• The Background is visible and slightly blurred when aiming with the scope.
• Zoom-when-crouch feature: When crouched, the scope zooms smoothly to full 2X, 4X or 8X, producing a sound.
➡️ MOVEMENT SYSTEM
• A New System has been created that makes the Movement much more dynamic and interesting when the Player looks around, runs, aims and shoots.
➡️ NEW MOD MODELS
• Models have been added for those mods that are normally not visible, such as the Magazine Extender, Muzzle Brake, Fore Grip etc...
➡️ ANIMATIONS
• Improved Weapon Fire and Weapon Reload Animations to make them smoother.
• New weapon components have been animated, such as the Pistol Hammer, the Ak 47 Charging Handle, Lever Action Rifle Bolt etc...
➡️ BULLET SHELLS, MUZZLE SMOKE AND LIGHT
• Bullet shells have been added that emerge from the chamber and are visible both when firing from the hip and when aiming.
• They interact dynamically with the environment.
• Muzzle Smoke coming out of the chamber after firing has been added.
• Muzzle smoke remains for several seconds after the gun is fired.
• Muzzle Fire and Light that illuminates the environment have been added.
➡️ SCOPE CUSTOMIZATION
• Remember that each scope (2X, 4X and 8X) of each weapon can be customised separately!
• Here are the nine possible Reticle Shapes you can choose from.
• Just open the file “DLX-ConfigFile.xml”, search for the term “Reticle_Shape” of the desired weapon and write the chosen Shape in the “value” parameter! (eg. <parameter name="4X_Reticle_Shape" value="Reticle_05"/>)
• Reticle_00 Triangle
• Reticle_01 Simple Cross
• Reticle_02 Cross and Circle
• Reticle_03 Open Cross
• Reticle_04 German Reticle
• Reticle_05 Open Circle
• Reticle_06 RangeFinding
• Reticle_07 Three Marks
• Reticle_08 Three Marks and Circle
• Same thing with the Reticle Color, which is written in RGB form (0-255, 0-255, 0-255).
• Just open the file “DLX-ConfigFile.xml”, search for the term “Reticle_Color” of the desired weapon and write the chosen Color in RGB form in the “value” parameter! (eg. <parameter name="4X_Reticle_Color" value="255, 255, 255"/>)
• Same thing with the Reticle Size.
• Just open the file “DLX-ConfigFile.xml”, search for the term “Reticle_Size” of the desired weapon and write the chosen Size form in the “value” parameter! (eg. <parameter name="4X_Reticle_Size" value="2.22"/>)
All the nine possible Reticle Shapes
