📋 About This Mod
After gaining some experience working with the OGSR engine, I began thinking about porting the Gunslinger Mod to the original SOC storyline. I decided it would be great to replay the original with enhanced weaponry. I started working on this adaptation even before the release of OGSR Gunslinger, but due to a lack of experience, I had to pause development temporarily. After the release of OGSR Gunslinger, with the authors' permission, I began using their engine, and thanks to them, I was able to refine my adaptation to a level I was satisfied with.Changelog Features:
-
[]Porting all (currently completed) weapons from the Gunslinger mod to the SOC platform[/]
[]Optional 3D scopes[/]
[]Optional 3D PDA (thanks to the OGSR Gunslinger authors)[/]
[]Porting all hand visuals[/]
[]Multi-aim functionality[/]
[]Unique weapon modifications with installed visual upgrades (thanks to the OGSR Gunslinger authors)[/]
[]Item use animation system[/]
[]Artifact detection system requiring a detector like in COP (artifact spawning has also been slightly reworked. No more mountains of valuable stones at the Garbage, but it makes sense to examine each individual anomaly with a detector)[/]
[]Inventory system from COP (with slight differences and features)[/]
Important:-
[]If you are installing a new version while having an older one installed, you must completely delete the previous version (bin and gamedata folders). Saves from older versions may work with the new one, but unpleasant issues may (and most likely will) arise. Starting a new game is recommended.[/]
[]If your game crashes, always include the log in your report. The log can be found in the
userdata/logsfolder. Attach the most recent file with the
.logextension. If your log looks strange, also attach the save file before the crash. Crash reports without attached logs will be intentionally ignored.[/]
[]Please do not suggest adapting the mod to other mods. I do not have the time or desire for that, even if you have imagined the "dream setup." Similarly, do not request the addition of weapons that are not on the Gunslinger hand rig or suggest adding AI packs or other features. This thread is for feedback on errors, stability, balance, and gameplay of the adaptation. Please do not clutter it or spam. Constructive feedback, player-to-player help, and other contributions are welcome.[/]
