(A21) SHOTGUN Pack (v.3.1 Completed)

[BFT2020]

Thanks . but do you know what cause this? , I got red errors about workbench crafting or something.

Not sure, I would have to see your original code to see where the original issue was.  Some possibilities could be:

• Wrong unlock name in the schematic
  
• Wrong unlock by name in the property
  
• Hidden character / wrong character
  

I got red error messages in the workbench on my crafting mod, the issue was tied back to the Unlocked by property that I didn't update for my changes.

Used to love the old Tactical Weapons mod, and was hoping someone would carry the torch forward. You've done an incredible job, I'm using all your Packs and am eagerly awaiting the final form of the others now that the Shotgun one is complete. Kudos brother, you've got serious talent!

Сегодня поставил мод. v3 и заметил появление ошибок. В начале игры постоянно вылетает консоль, пока без ошибок.. Но это напрягает. + Нет показа магазинов, если увеличится боезопас у сайги12G. Просто пустота, хотя должен быть двойной магазин, который скреплен спец. клипсой. И так же с барабанным магазином.

Я пока буду использовать V2, потому что игра ругается на V3/Ошибки и консоль.

 the recipe are same as the other, but since you mention something about "Schematic"  it make me realized that I forgot to remove this line in item.xml  

    <property name="UnlockedBy" value="explosiveAmmoSchematic"/>

now it's working fine, thankyou again sir.

I used translate and it said you got error when the game start right?

seem like you did not turn off EAC ,  

and yes I made saiga12 become T1 weapon because I like the original AK shape , wood and steel

Fantastic. 

The only thing, 
I may be the only one. I feel like the volume of the guns are super loud compared to the other guns in the game. Is that intentional?

the sound mostly came from 2000s games,  like l4d2  , Gmod , CS mods . not sure if it's too loud , but for me it's normal.maybe it's because I grew up with these game.

Sound resources are rare , I can't make multi variants for it .  not every sounds are usable,   

- the first one are usable but still too long it's need to be below 2 sec. for a shotgun that has fire rate below 130

- the second one are unusable it will does clack! , tick! noise at the end of the sound , I'm not a sound guy so I don't know what cause this



most of the sounds I find look like the second one.

I actually like how loud they are since certain vanilla guns don’t feel like they are loud enough, like the m60. The worst offender is the vanilla pump shotgun, whose firing sound gets drowned out by the reload on top of the terrible sfx the pimps switched to in alpha 20 which just makes it feel hollow and like it has no punch. So I’m glad these shotties are so loud

is it possible to upgrade from V2 to V3 on the same world save?

Hey Izayo! I just found the bolt action shotgun in the loot and hell it's so satisfying to use, however, i think there's something wrong when equipping the red dot sight... The 2X scope is perfect. And yes, i do have all the needed files installed (visible mods mod, particles etc)

alright I will fix this ASAP.

not sure but I can continue my save no problem , but do a backup before you try

some of the guns disappeared or changed to something else, but it's not a problem for me.

Okay… so after some fooling around with this mod in creative and I very much appreciate all the work that went into this mod. My favorite thing is the sawed off barrels being visible, it’s fudging awesome. The models look good, perform well and I think I’ve grown to like the rebalance of the shotguns overall (RIP the 590 special )

***However playing with this mod in a survival world has left me with some concerns. The most important one being the ammo as quest rewards. Umm I have been getting so much of the special penetrating slugs and explosive ammo which would be really great except for the fact that they’ve been like the only ammo rewards and at this stage in the game I have no weapon that can make use of it and I won’t for a long while. So what did I do with it? I sold it! To buy ammo from the trader. 
 

So I guess what I’m saying is maybe change that type of ammo as a quest reward for lower tier quests so that we can get usable ammo? Or make the ammo able to be used by the lower tier shotguns like the Tier 1’s at least. 
 

ALSO I like how you gave the Double Barrel Long a massive power boost. This makes it feel more comparable to the other shotties in terms of viability, however I would take it a step further and buff the reload speed too. Think the soda popper or force a nature in tf2 where if you land both shots then the dps should be theoretically higher/ the same as using a shotgun with 6+ shells in the tube. But if you miss your shots then well you still have to deal with a decent reload time and your sustained dps won’t be as good. 
 

Beyond these things I am thoroughly enjoying the mod and I am very much looking forward to your future projects!

I updated to v3 and it works fine but I ended up with 2 model 1887 one t1 and the other t2, and my model 1897 was upgraded from t2 to t3

 

[Izayo]

Alright I have fixed all of the problems you guys mentioned above  

how ever I want to release it along with the Optionals as v3.1 in this sunday , a little delay because I found so many missing textures for the low_setting variants at least 5 guns

fixed list :

- bolt action shotgun reflex sight missing textures

- XM-12G  missing red dot texture in reflex sight (low_setting mode)

- M870 police missing red dot texture in reflex sight (low_setting mode)

but here quick fix for v3 

- fixed quest reward ammo

- explosive round are craftable now

I updated to v3 and it works fine but I ended up with 2 model 1887 one t1 and the other t2, and my model 1897 was upgraded from t2 to t3

good to know , I lost all of my T3 ,T4  but I'm rich so it's not a problem

I'm getting an error when the game is attempting to load the Shotgun Pack mod when starting a new save. It says "ERR XML loader: Loading and parsing 'sounds.xml' failed". I checked the code on that file and it all checked out. I tried reinstalling the mod. I tried reinstalling the game. And then reinstalling the mods 1 at a time. I tried installing the mod without the quick fix. None of it worked.

I also tried installing the mod after starting a new save without it and loading it that way. It did not work either. Same error. It tells me that maybe another mod's sounds XML is conflicting with this one. I don't believe I'm running any others in particular that modify the sounds of the guns firing. Idk. It's probably a mod conflict, but for some reason the game works just fine only when I remove the shotgun pack.

sounds like you're using another gun mod that is using the same sound (name) as this mod. 

 

[Izayo]

I might need another 2-3 days to add this barrel smoke effect to the shotgun pack.

I installed this mod on a server I have hosted at HostHavoc - I get these msgs in the log file - is this just more of an FYI?
