[WOTC] Destiny Weapon Pack #2 (OUTDATED)

UPDATE: This pack is no longer being maintained by me, as i've since merged both Packs #1 and #2 into my newest Destiny Arsenal Ghost Templates mod. I suggest you unsubscribe from Packs #1 and #2 and use the new mod instead, especially since i'll be adding more weapons to it in the future.


"i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love guns

and i love killing xenos

gimmie the guns, ♥♥♥♥♥"

-Haiku by an anonymous XCOM Soldier, circa 20XX

You can find my first Destiny weapon pack here.

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


Some more firearms from the Destiny series, including:

ASSAULT RIFLES:

-Tommy's Matchbook

SHOTGUNS:

-The Fourth Horseman

CANNONS:

-The Thunderlord

-The Hammerhead

-The Heir Apparent

SNIPER RIFLES:

-The Whisper of the Worm

-No Land Beyond


They all come with their original firing sounds.

The Hammerhead comes with its own particle effects.

All stats can be changed inside the config files.

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


-The holo sight on the Hammerhead only shows up properly when you zoom in really close to it.

-The holo sight on Tommy's Matchbook disappears when looking at it from the side.

-The Heir Apparent's barrel currently doesn't spin.

-All of the weapons have varying degrees of grip clipping issues with the Soldiers' hands, due to their size and shape difference compared to the XCOM guns.


If the guns don't show up mid-campaign, you likely need to start a new campaign.

Tell me if you find any more, i'll see if i can do something about it.

No, there won't be a Vanilla version of this.

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


VERSION 1.02 (12/21/2020)

-Fixed the weapons not upgrading properly

-Fixed the CreateTemplate functions sharing the same names as the Weapon Templates themselves, for example: the Function would be 'static function X2DataTemplate CreateTemplate_WeaponName_CV()' and then the Template would also be 'WeaponName_CV'. While i don't think this caused any issues (at least none that i've seen), i still cleaned up that aspect of the code to be sure. Apologies in advance if this causes any issues in your on-going campaign.

-Improved weapon UI textures that better resemble the vanilla game icons


VERSION 1.01 (8/12/2020)

-Re-Imported all of the gun meshes with a better smoothing option; if you notice any odd looking shading or lighting on the guns in the screenshots, those issues should now be fixed (i'm too lazy to update the screenshots)

-Increased the shininess on the Hammerhead

-Deleted some un-used AnimSequences from the custom Soldier Pawn sets to save some space

-Sized all Diffuse textures down from 2048x2048 to 1024x1024

-Sized some other textures down from 1024x1024 to 512x512

To explain the texture down-sizing: The Unreal Engine's texture compression sucks ♥♥♥♥, and if you make a mod with a bunch of 2048x2048 sized textures or even bigger, your mod's gonna get big incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quickly, and the problem there is that if you make or install enough mods over 100 MBs in size or so, your load times are gonna get shredded fast.

In an FPS or something similar, you would likely notice a slight dip in quality 'cause you have your weapons in close view at nearly all times: In XCOM, however, the closest you ever get to looking at your Soldier's weaponry is in the armory, and even then, it's nowhere near as close a view as you'd have in an FPS.

And i'm only gonna be making more mods in due time, so to cut down on both my and your loading times, i've opted to size down various textures to 1024x1024 and 512x512, reducing the total file size from 108 MBs to 68 MBs.

Long winded explaination aside, it's really not that noticeable of a quality hit anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
