[WIP] Weapon Addition and Replacement Suite (WARS)

[Deleted24818959User]

The Lewis gun/FN MINIMI abomination is the closest thing to a gpmg that the game has, it's being replaced by the ar15.

 

This being said, the game will be lacking in any "traditional" GPMGs.

You were saying in earlier posts that you would add a cetme/g3 to the weapons list, and that there would be caliber conversion to 9x19mm luger and 5.56x45mm available to the weapons platform.

Along side the mp5, hk33 and g3, you could add the hk21e light machine to the firearms list, you can get the model "at least for the belt feeder" Here.

It would be neat to have an rpk set-up available for the ak47.

 

As a side note,

The ar15 you could use the m16a2 automatic rifle for an upper receiver option

For separate heavy weapons you could use the m60 (because it's lore friendly), the m249 and the mg3.

I said earlier that a G3/CETME/HK33/MP5/etc would be cool and is a possibility - but that's just a "wouldn't it be nice" thing at this stage; no plans yet.

 

Ah, the MG3 and HK21... more weapons that make me think of Jagged Alliance: Back In Action. ;) I don't know that belt-fed weapons are really plausible in FO4, though - done well, at least. Hitman could probably speak with more authority on this, but I don't think there are enough bones available to properly animate belts of ammo. I suppose if you could use rigid magazines instead on whichever weapon, it may not be out of the question.

 

I would definitely want RPK options available in an AK platform weapon.

 

I'm not sure about that M16A2 automatic rifle, though; I've already got a lot of barrel types on the AR-15, and am still thinking of adding the A1 hand-guard.

Anistar, how does the project evolve? It is a question of mere curiosity, it becomes long the wait (everything good is made to wait :happy: ) is there any possibility of seeing some package soon? Keep up the good work

No, the first release is a way off yet.

 

Right now I'm working on giving the Mini-14 a tac-light and a laser sight. The laser sight I'm doing from scratch, but it's a relatively simple design so it shouldn't take too long. The light, laser sight and bayonets will all be on the same "under-barrel" slot.

So are the weapons going to replace all the original weapons out right within the creation kit? or only replacing the weapon with your own weapons in the level lists?

 

In other words could i go into the creation kit and reintegrate the old weapons myself back into the level lists or were they overwritten by the WARS ones?

[antistar]

At this stage only four weapons are planned to be outright replaced (like it says in the OP) - not all of them. And it is outright; I'm editing the weapon (and object mod, etc) records themselves, rather than making new ones and replacing the vanilla weapons in levelled lists.

 

I considered both approaches, but I didn't want to end up still encountering the vanilla Assault Rifle, Combat Rifle, etc due to other mods potentially placing those weapons in new locations or levelled lists, or what-have-you. I really don't like those weapons.

 

 

Incidentally if this sounds like a bad idea to anyone - a lot of people are concerned with conflicts, and adding things to levelled lists via scripts, and whatnot - just remember that WARS is an overhaul and it's intended to change things. So the best-practices (as I see them at least) are a little different to mods that are purely adding new content.

Gotcha. I'm not demanding vanilla weapons be spared, I just wanted to have a clear picture of the mod with no misunderstandings.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read reply to my post. Looking forward to seeing the mod finished.

Do you intend to make the scopes "see-through," like that see-through scopes mod for the vanilla guns?

Something new to consider for the Handmade AKM: DeadPool2099 recently released a new mod that adds a traditional wooden stock to the Handmade Rifle, and he mentions that it was taken from an AKM model he made long ago. He may have other bits and pieces from it that he would be willing to let you use in WARS, as well as the stock itself. I don't know if the rest of the model meets his current standards due to its age, though, so it might have been that the stock was the only thing he felt was worth using; plus, he's pretty busy with his contributions to Wasteland Overhaul and his version of the Service Rifle. Still, I thought it was worth bringing it up.

No problem. :)

Not at this stage. I don't like the way that works - mainly the way that your entire view zooms in, rather than just the view through the scope. It's just due to engine limitations.

I thought his wood stock would be perfect too - and he said yes, which was kind of him - so that works out well.
