[CS:S + L4D1 Anims Remix] Krieg 552+

The following mod aims to give the aforementioned weapon an animation remix with its own different twists.

I like the animations from CS:S weapons just the way they are, but they could have definitely done some extra work to them with the official ports to Left 4 Dead 2, the animations from CS:S have a lot of clipping / jank and the new animations like the hand extend animations are either weird or feel very weak, even when compared to vanilla weapons.

Given that the weapon in its current state feels a bit off I decided to make this mod to try and bring it more in line with the original Left 4 Dead. Other SG552 revitalization mods use animations from CS:GO or other L4D2 weapons which look good, but since I am a big fan of the first game's animations I figured I'd try and make my own alternative which focuses on keeping the animations from CS:S as they are, but also rework all the other animations that were introduced when this weapon was officially ported to this game.

In essence, this is very similar to my L4D1 Pistols+ mod, where the goal is to keep the main motion of the weapon animations untouched, but refine them a little more by fixing the fingers so that they don't look as weird anymore, but in this case some of the animations were edited for what I think is the better.

This here is an extensive list of what this mod changes:

• Weapon positioning has been changed, now it should be similar to how a weapon from CS:S / L4D1 would look.
  
• Fingers in all of the animations have been edited to look more natural, some other animations have had slight changes to also look good at higher FOV values.
  
• HD worldmodel, remodeled by yours truly.
  
• Idle animation, borrowed from the L4D1 Uzi SMG.
  
• When reloading, new bullets will be visible from within the magazine.
  
• Helping Hand and Item Pickup animations borrowed from the L4D1 SMG.
  
• Melee animation made by yours truly, inspired by the L4D1 M16 melee animation.
  
• Lookposes that aim to replicate the L4D1 M16.
  
• Firing animations have been slightly smoothed out, so that the weapon doesn't bounce as aggressively when shooting full auto.
  
• New HUD icon that matches the outline of the weapon better.

This is compatible with retextures and soundmods, but be warned, due to the way I textured the back side it's possible that some retexture mods may look a bit weird on the right side of the gun.

These animations are not final, and I may edit them a little bit in the future if I feel like they could do with an extra retouch. I may do a version of this mod that uses L4D2-style animations instead (for running, melee, hand animations etc), but we'll see.

If you wish to take any assets from this mod (animations, models) feel free to do so, you do not need to ask for permission, just please give me credit for it. This being said please don't make commissions out of this either, thank you. (If you do borrow content from this add-on I recommend you check this page every now and again, sometimes I come back and push an update if something bugs me post-release).

Please report any bugs you find!
