SG-09 R - Alligator Snapper Replacement (Custom Icons - Sound - Attachments - UI Elements)

OVERVIEW:

This mod replaces Leon's starting pistol, the "Alligator Snapper," with his starting pistol in RE4:R, the Silver Ghost "SG-09 R." This weapon has been modified for modularity throughout the storymode.

- Original model has been modified. The integrated compensator has been detached, the rail has been shortened, and the laser sight has been shortened and repositioned. The original magazine has an alternative extended variant for the extended magazine upgrade.

- SG-09 R Compensator can be acquired by equipping the compensator attachment to the pistol.

- SG-09 R laser sight can only be seen if you have the "Tactical Flashlight" option enabled in your bonus settings for the Alligator Snapper. Although, this is purely for aesthetics, and the laser sight currently doesn't provide any advantage to the player.

- Stock Alligator Snapper firing sound replaced with SG-09 R's firing sound from RE4:R.

- Icons for the Alligator Snapper have been replaced with custom versions of SG-09 R's icon from RE4:R.

- UI Elements, such as gun name, description, etc, have been updated.

--------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:

- The sight attachment's model hasn't been updated.

- Cutscenes that have the Alligator Snapper's firing sound haven't been changed.

This mod took multiple days of trial and error to complete. It's my first time using Blender to port a weapon over to another RE Engine game. Bugs are to be expected. Let me know if you encounter any issues, and I'll update the mod when I can.
