GM++ | Player Interaction Overhaul

GM++ is a spiritual successor of the now obsolete GM+ by DS6. Completely written from scratch, GM++ celebrates its predecessor's 10-year anniversary by resurrecting and modernizing most of the legacy features, such as DynaView (now Neck FX), weapon holster, and more!

GM++ is a complete overhaul of many client systems and effects, and its features are largely passive or triggered through certain events; it works in the background to make your Garry's Mod experience look and feel better. With the extensive features & customizability GM++ offers, you may tailor your sandbox experience exactly to your liking!
NOTE: As of version v0.5, GM++ is now in OPEN BETA. This means the mod is still rough around the edges and very much work-in-progress, and might not be suitable for server use yet. Features might be regularly updated, added, and removed.

In GM++ every feature can either be configured to your liking or disabled completely.
Here are some features the overhaul provides by default:

• Neck FX: A total weapon & view movement overhaul!
  
  • Featuring Ironsights: a universal aiming system with predefined offsets for Half-Life 2 weapons, and more!
    
  • Adjust a highly configurable Free-aim to your liking and enjoy a brand new gaming experience!
    
  • With FOV Override you can force your view & weapon FOV to your liking!
    
  • Attachment-based camera animation on deploy, reload and other interactions.
    
  • Jumping & landing animations.
    
  • Uniform recoil shake effect for nearly every weapon, including melee and grenades!
    
  • A bi-directional near-wall effect.
    
  • Extended view offset awareness, customizable eye height for different player states.
    
  • Linear fatigue effect accompanied by a heartbeat sound.
    
  • Basic third-person mode with ironsight awareness.
    
  • Simple view-punch override & configuration.
    
  • Alternative stair smoothing implementation.
• Post FX: Film-grain & vignette post-processing effects, and more.
  
  • Introducing Ambient Light: a beautiful environmental bloom effect shipped with an alternative tonemap shader.
    
  • With Photons: an experimental camera screen effect when close to radioactive sources.
    
  • Adaptive DOF & radial blurring with Blur FX.
    
  • Support for handling custom shaders with built-ins such as Vignette, Film Grain, Corrective Lens, and more!
• Target Dot: A simple, dynamic dot-crosshair with a spread indicator and hit-markers!
  
• Flashlight: A networked, customizable, barrel-attached flashlight implementation.
  
• Speed Inertia: Fully client-side directional inertia simulation.
  
• Holster: Display holstered weapons on your player-model!
  
• DynaHUD: Hide health, armor & ammo after given period.
  
• On Death: First-person death camera and screen fade-out.
  
• HEV Suit: Restore cut HEV functionality like battery charge and time reportage!
  
• Custom sound effects for switching weapons and landing on ground, and interactive sounds for the physics gun.
  
• Total configuration through the Q-menu, with an alternative pop-up window.
  
• And so much more...

NOTE: Configuration of GM++ is recommended for advanced users only!
In sandbox-derived gamemodes, you can find the customization panel at the top-right corner of the sandbox menu. You can also find a separate simplified configuration menu in the top-left corner of the context menu.
If running server-side, GM++ provides a networking wrapper for communicating some information (such as vehicle info) from the server to the client running GM++. You may also inject GM++ on servers with sv_allowcslua set to 1!
WARNING: THIS MOD IS DESIGNED FOR SANDBOX ONLY! GM++ replicates only native sandbox gamemode functionality in the hooks it overrides.

A major feature in GM++ is the communication layer for weapons provided by a crude weapon base interface. This allows us to become aware of the weapon's custom states, such as when you are aiming, inspecting or customizing your weapon, or have your weapon on safety. Some weapon base hooks are also intercepted to help us, for example, position the viewmodel correctly.
Here are some features this mod attempts to support for every weapon:

• Ironsight, customizer, bipod, and weapon safety awareness.
  
• Weapon type resolving with preset offsets for each type.
  
• Camera animations using the muzzle attachment.
  
• Hybrid ironsights support. (for mods like MWB)

NOTE: Please keep in mind that GM++ was largely designed for the MW base, SWCS, CW2.0, and the FAS2.0 SWEPs. Other bases most likely lack full support.

GM++ provides an interface for some of the major weapon bases on the market.
Here are some of the bases this mod has compatibility for:

• Customizable Weaponry 2.0
  
• FA:S 2.0 Alpha SWEPs
  
• Modern Warfare Base
  
• CS:GO Weapons (ironsights provided, NOBLE strike support)
  
• TFA Base (only partial support)
  
• Weapons deriving from the SWEP Construction Kit.
  
• M9K Base, Mad Cow's Base, and their derivatives.
  
• Buu's Weapon Base
  
• Beatrun runnerhands
