Description

Okay, so this mod may be a bit unnecessary but the idea got stuck in my head so I made it mostly to see if it was possible.
If you find it useful I suggest you look into the Gunplay-mod if you want more features.

In the vanilla game all projectiles shot by pawns originates from the center of the pawn, not from the weapon they are holding. The game dont know where on a weapon the projectile "should" spawn as the weapons are just textures. Ordinarily this is probably close enough but when using mods like Camera+ however, it can look a bit wierd when zoomed in.

So this mod scans all weapons at game-start, finds the last non-transparent pixel in their texture, assuming that is where the projectile should spawn. It then modifies the start-point for projectile to that spot instead of at the center of the pawn. Should work when using the Dual Wield mod as well.

Technically this will affect the combat ever so slightly, since the projectile path will be shorter depending on the length of the weapon. I dont think this will have any noticable impact however, but report if you see anything strange.

Hopefully someone will find this mod useful!

Thank you to the Projectile Offset Framework by Profilgate that put the idea in my head from the start.

This has been a must-have,.thank you for the 1.6 update!

I know you're incredibly busy, but after other priorities, is there any possibility this same origin logic can be applied to turrets? It's especially noticeable with autocannon and chargeblaster turrets to see the bullets coming from the very center instead of their barrels

Having the same issue as Toyo

Have an issue where bullets fly across the map and hitting a random wall. This happens when the gun is fired offscreen

Since 1.5 mod causes issues with pawns unable to fire their weapon and firing animation not showing. could also be an issue with my extensive modlist
just a heads up if anyone in the future faces the same issue

Dont know how possible it'd be, but I think a lot of issues could be fixed if this had a menu like show me your hands, so you can set exactly where the bullet comes out of!
