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

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
