Thanks mate, when necessary I will ask for you help:steamhappy:

I don't want to make extra work for you. Like I said, it's not a huge deal. I just figure some people may not want to download IFA3 just for animations and the Garand is the one I've seen people complain about most.

As far as SOGPF goes, is it something I can help with? I've got it so I can help.

If you wish, I could make a sperate mod which will use UNSUNG Garand's reloadaction on FWA Garand, for your Vietnam scenarios gameplay. I don't own SOGPF so can not obtain its wonder reloadaction list

I just had another look at FWA's STG. It's fine as is. The animation it's using isn't 100% perfectly lined up, but it's close enough and it's less stiff than the IFA3 animation.

I meant this list - https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3508376825 . You list FWA reload rework but not it's dependency, so I assumed it worked with Reload action rework - CORE and compats, I hadn't tested it. If I'm not mistaken, aren't the animations in both the CUP and the FWA reworks the same?

That animation is pretty rough. I guess it's still better than loading an imaginary magazine, but not by much. Maybe an SKS animation would work?

You brought up Manual Bolt Action framework, that's why I mentioned SOG. The models and animations are fantastic but they do not have manual bolting.

I checked Reload action rework, and I didn't add FWA compat yet since there is a FWA Reload Rework. My list must be wrong.

There is a standalone Garand mod, only 17MB, got its own reload anime, but my test suggest that it will likey cause a CTD. I need more testing.

I checked YTB SOG wpn showcase, those bolt action rifles seem to work very well

Then thanks for all your suggestions and report:steamhappy:

Ah, I see. That's unfortunate. Most of the time it would be used would be during WW2 scenarios and IFA3 would probably be loaded anyway, but it would've been nice to have it in Vietnam scenarios without having to load IFA3 and have all the extra stuff in the arsenal.

Isn't the M1 Carbine already covered by Reload action rework? In your list of compatible mods, you have FWA Reload Rework. It covers the M1 Carbine family.

As far as I know, all the bolt actions in FWA have manual bolting. I've tested the M1903, Enfields, and the Carcano. They all have manual bolting, just the vanilla reload animation. Speaking of manual bolting, is it possible to support SOG? It has the best looking Mosin Nagant and M38, but as far as I know there's no manual bolting.

Most of the reload animes in IFA3 are in a single PBO, but those for Garand, M1928A1 and M1 carbine are in somewhere else but I can not find. So to made it flexible, Garand's should only work when full IFA3 AIO is loaded.

I will add support for FWA Carcano and STG 44.

One more question, do FWA's bolt action rifles have proper manual bolt charging? If not, I may add them to my other mod.

Thanks for doing this. However, I noticed when running IFA3 reload animations LITE, that the Garand animation doesn't work. It's still the vanilla animation. It does work when IFA3 is loaded, so I'm assuming the animation is missing from the stripped down .pbos. Also, along with what with the weapons others have listed, FWA has a nice Carcano and STG 44 as well.

also nvm with the m1 carbine as honestly the reloads for them are absolutely fine! and thank you!
