Military Sniper Overhaul (SCAR-20)

Description
I shouldn't have to say this, but...
PLEASE READ THE 'REQUIRED ITEMS' SECTION OF THIS PAGE.
It's located on the righthand side of the screen, and has been for years.
You must subscribe to the items containing the textures in this list if you want the textures to work correctly.
Additionally, if you want the custom sounds (which are optional), they too can be found there.

Happy Thanksgiving!

With the release of the SCAR-L animations, It's only appropriate to include a modified version of those animations on a SCAR-20 (from CS:GO), as a military sniper replacement. This is the CS:GO model with minor improvements made to better suit L4D2, such as the presence of bullets in the magazine (even if only visible for a few frames).

Fun fact: I created these animations in reverse order, which is to say that I actually made these first, and then moved them over to the SCAR-L for tweaking. They are a little different from one another, but the resemblance should be pretty obvious.
This makes the military sniper the first (and, at the time of writing, only) overhaul to feature not just two, but three different variants to choose from. I did originally plan on releasing this with the other two, but I quickly realized that I would need to make more or less entirely new animations for it in order for that to happen, so I put it off.

Feature highlights:
Added a minor bit of model detail to the scope.
Fixed the stock not having the lower picatinny rail that SCAR-20 stocks always have.
Improvements to the bolts on the side of the gun.
Probably more that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Updates and stuff
I don't often do update videos, but I do have a YouTube channel in case you wanted to check that out.

would fit l4d2's art style more if you you used animations from CS:GO, but is cool overall

No, there is nothing in the patch notes to suggest that it had world animations, not one of my gun mods ever had world animations because that would cause all sorts of consistency errors. The only shell ejection present currently is in the viewmodel. If I could make the world models animate properly on a per-weapon basis that'd be great, but unfortunately that's just not feasible.

Question: Has the gun worldmodel have animations for bullet ejections? I have tried it but there was no indication of such. Also, I checked the update notes and it said that bullet ejection world animations were changed? Do you have plans on redoing that aspect or is it final?

well i know nothing about weapon modding but if you do find out how to do that will you update your mods to use particles instead?
CTriggerHurt  [author] Dec 6, 2020 @ 9:42am 
I think my original reasoning was that I found L4D2's bullet particles to not look good, and there doesn't seem to be a way to create a 3d casing effect as seen in HL2 and TF2 other than animating it (which is what Valve did with the pistols), so I've been doing it that way ever since. If I knew of a way to implement said effect, I'd gladly use it instead because I agree wholeheartedly that animated shell ejections look weird.

im curious: how come you have the ejected casings as 3d models in the animations rather than particles?

i think its a little distracting to have them always go the same direction every time i shoot but this mod is good enough to make it worth it
