📋 About This Mod

Simple item addition. Same stats as the base knife, same functionality, just a better model. Now with an alternative flipped version!

Huge thanks to BuffMcMuff for flipping the mesh in addition to all the modding advice he has already given me.

Change Log:

  • []Corrected filepathing inside zip file. "Should" probably fix model issues people have reported with v1. 0. 0

    []Updated .yaml to correct vendor selling the knife. It should be available from Wilson as intended.

v1. 0. 5

  • []Finally tracked down the source of the mesh error. Shoutout to Manavortex and 86maylin for the assist with debugging

v2. 0. 0

  • []Major overhaul of the mod. Redid the files so that the regular and reverse grip versions are each their own individual weapon so you can use both of them.

    []Swapped the knife rig to the machete rig which has improved the player animations to an extent, V actually holds the handle and doesn't just clip their hand through it (or at least it's not as egregious as it used to be).

    []New inventory icon! Still using the basic knife HUD icon though

    []Throwing animation uses the proper mesh now!

    Game. AddToInventory("Items. Preset_arasaka_knife",1)

    Game. AddToInventory("Items. Preset_arasaka_knife_reverse",1)

    you can also buy it from Wilson Coach Fred

    Known Issues:

    • []it turns invisible in FPP when you leave photo mode for some reason. It reappears if you reentry and leave photo mode. Not sure if I will try to fix this because it's a really minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. Also it's kind of funny.

      []The item preview bounds have not been adjusted for the size of the new model.

      []Reverse Grip still has issues with finishers.

    • Encountered some instances of attacking an enemy causes them to T-pose. Funny, but weird. Currently looking into it.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder (usually 'archive/pc/mod' in your Cyberpunk 2077 directory).
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the installation to avoid conflicts.
  • Check if the mod requires the 'ArchiveXL' or 'TweakXL' mods—if so, install those first.
