Without them I couldn't have delivered on this. So thanks y'all! Also Rippler for helping me with the .metas and being awesome in general :D I recommend you watch my new video! It's the 3rd video with Trevor in a Wehrmacht uniform Features: Add-on Hud icon, but you need this mod Animated Real-time deployable bipod You can buy it on ammu-nation (& mods) 50 round can and 250 round ammo box Finally fixed animation and normal maps bugs! You can now replace the non_hi version Accurate iron sights Translated to German in honor of our German players :) New recoil system (will now spread horizontal and vertical instead of only vertical like vanilla weapons) Real life weapon statistics (like insane 1200 rpm) courtesy of Rippler Update 3. 1: Found a fix for the add-on crash on start-up you NEED to download THIS TOOL Update 3. 0: Fixed muzzle flash (will now spawn from the muzzle and not the middle of the barrel) Fixed cover axis Update 2. 0: New, more accurate and high detail model from RO2 Bipod can be folded and unfolded by pressing 'E' Finally the real German 250 round ammo box! Thanks COD: WaW! Slight improvement/modification on the weapons.meta (no more flamethrower mg-42, will spit dust as well :D) and lags less because of it. Added icon but you need this mod Update 1. 2: Finally found a fix! Thank you Diab0 and TheTankStrategist ! You must edit the file named "gameconfig.xml" in (GTA V root folder)/update/update.rpf/common/data/ Then extract gameconfig.xml to desktop. Open with notepad or notepad++ and search the following lines: "MaxExtraWeaponModelInfos value" then change the 155 value to 200 or any higher number! If increasing the "MaxExtraWeaponModelInfos" value doesn't work try increasing the "WEAPON_ASSET" value from the default 57 to something like 100 or higher. Everything works perfectly for me :) More special thanks to: EnergeticSheep for his MG 42 icon* Assets: Red Orchestra 2 and Call of Duty: World at War Replaces Combat MG If you miss the PAYDAY 2 MG-42 you can download it here Note from metroidguy: I'd really
