📋 About This Mod
Icons that tell the IRL counterpart of every firearms and variants for those like me who want to have a sense of what they are using ingame.
WHAT IT DOES:
This one is a quite simple mod, that bypasses the tedious PITA it is to edit ingame menu item names (thanks to emon94 who kindly warned me against that dark path lol)
So the idea I come with: simply added some text under the weapon picture itself. I know, a bit silly maybe, (random unlicensed names are still displayed in the description text itself) but in the end it does one simple job:
An attempt to give the player a sense of what IRL rifle is actually used, and their ammunition.
INSTALL:
-put the "dropzone" folder at your main game directory
-copy this to your Steam launcher options:
--vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs .
MORE DETAILS:
About the accuracy of these names, I put them in 3 categories:
1. Most of them are pretty obvious and already identified by the community (see this)
https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/TheHunter:_Call_of_the_Wild
https://steamcommunity.com/app/518790/discussions/0/1752400068283183918/
Even if I wasn't always convinced so I did some extensive research on my own to fill the gaps the best I could.
2. Some others are debatable, their ingame models being less accurate or even pure fantasy (e.g. a mix like front part of X model with rear part of Y model):
So I had to choose between multiple influences to keep one, and gave priority to the ones that use the same ammo in game.
(Also: "custom made" joker for a few :))
3. Models with such generic designs that they could legitimately bear multiple IRL names and brands:
For these, (mostly shotguns), I took the liberty to choose from various weapon smithes for the sake of variety.
Each and every firearm things, including their variants, have a proper name now, that's 109 icons edited...
...but I'm sure people with a far better expertise in gunsmith than myself will want to correct inaccuracies despite my efforts with the mod, so you are more than welcome to share your knowledge in the comments: I'd be glad to correct any mistakes and of course to give credits for the help.
In the meanwhile, please consider this mod a 95%-ish WIP...
