📋 About This Mod
2. 0 supported.
Before commenting: Read the whole description.
I absolutely loathe automatic reload in shooters, so I made this mod to disable it. The alternative version(fire reload) reloads upon attempting to fire with an empty magazine.
Mod works perfectly fine on V 1. 5.#, and v 1. 6.
Install
Drop the r6 folder into your basegame directory(such as "gog Games/Cyberpunk 2077/")
Mod isn't working or other issues:
Open \r6\cache\redscript.log and read this. it'll tell you what's wrong. If you can't understand it, at least post the log results as your comment, rather than a generic: "It doesn't work". Generic "It doesn't work" is impossible to diagnose, and will default back into: "You installed it wrong", a.k.a: "You either didn't put the mod in the correct folders, or you didn't install redscript correctly".
If you don't have a redscript.log file, you didn't install redscript correctly.
Special thanks:
Thanks to PerfNormBeast over at his great sound clip testing utility I have now implemented empty-sound when magazine fire
