Hello everyone. It has been a long time I know since the last update, and I will tell you why. I've reached the point in development where I am completely burnt out and just don't want to continue working on the Zetas. Shocking and sad I know but this is what happens when you work on a single thing for many months straight. You get tired of it.

If you are a developer and you want to fork your own version or help fix things for the main addon, you are able to head to the addon's new github page https://github.com/IcyStarFrost/Zeta-Players I can no longer go on cause of how tired I am. So have fun with it!

This may be the last update that comes from me, and the rest may be just Community Contributes or fixes. Once again, thank you. Here are the changes and additions


-- Added a Weapon Creator Panel in Equipment Options

You are now able to make your own custom weapons!

Watch this video for a basic understanding of the panel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B9EWtrE5JM

You are able to upload your custom addons to the workshop as an added bonus! Watch this to know how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thJeWf8qeHY
