Spinning gun reload (animation mod)

[Toumaz]

Yep, I've made another **** mod.

This one basically replaces the old reload with the clip being put in, taken out, etc with a million dollar budget animation of the soldier spinning it 360 degrees á la Terminator 2. Ye be warned though, it is somewhat borked and doesn't look all that smooth for some weapons. And yes, you can use this mod online. Some random finnish dude (Lappakinderi) kept going on about something along the lines that it makes it easier for you to spot when your opponent is reloading his weapon. Don't listen to him though.

It is kinda hard to screenshot an animation, but here goes:



...uh, yeah. If you still wonder what the heck this is, look here for a video preview.

Installation
Download the zip archive and extract the files inside into Soldat\Anims. I'd also recommend you to back up the default animations if you find out that you hate the mod.

...from here

Version TWO POINT OH:s

Counter-clockwise spin. Made on public request... ish.

"Fixed" Counter-clockwise spin. This looks like shit, ye be warned. To fully eliminate the choppy animation problem the weapon is spun VERY quickly. Might be worth a shot, but I still think it sucks.

I downloaded, I saw, I didn't like it. especially that shotgun isn't reloaded this way. it could make more sense than spinning with the autos...

Already tried... using the same technique it looked like the soldier was throwing a grenade. I don't think Soldat allows you to change the rotation of the shotgun when it's reloading inbetween the shots. :/

Been using this mod since its 0.2alpha release. Great work by Toumaz, despite the fact it looks a bit awkward at times.

You finally posted it!

Goatwork. It looks awesome with Ruger, imo. You should fix any bugs with it and make it really smooth.

Ha, ha, ha, ha... it's !AWESOME! though the soldier looks little retarded while spinning it, because of body structure, no offense...

>:O Don't listen to me huh? I'll let you know that I'm a respected player in Soldat .
Anyways, I was the first outsider to test it (I think?) and I like it!

Kinda...erm...pointless, ain't it?

Aren't a lot of things on these forums?

Cool idea though.

Here's some more feed for your back.

You should reverse the way the gun is spinned. It'd look alot better, because spinning clockwise is never really that cool looking. Spinning counter-clockwise looks alot more badass, imo.

note: If you turn around then its not clockwise ^.--

However, I agree. It would look cooler if the barrel turned up towards the player first.

Great mod.

*bump*

Put two more versions up there, check first post.

[Hiro]

Yeah, the reversed one is so cool.

The fast one isn't too great though...It still looked really jumpy. Maybe even more jumpy than before.
