Update 05.19.24 - Extended Mags

• Cleaned up a ton of code
  
• Added yellow plating to spawn pool as it was missed on the last update

• 24 types of new extended/drum mags added
  
• New Mags come with a penalty to aiming and recoil delay
  
• List of guns that have extended/drums: Barrett, SVD, Remington 788, M1918 BAR, M1 Garand (slightly cursed), PM 63 RAK, Mosin Nagant, PLR16, Glock, Colt 1911, Desert Eagle, Walther PPK, Makarov, Luger, Five Seven, and Beretta

• Loot spawns are default OFF and sandbox setting can be turned on for small [up to 20], large [30], or drum mags [50].
  
• Extended Mags are influenced by ammo loot rates and are a bit rarer then all other items.
  
• Current magazine will need to be ejected, swap magazine hotkey/radial will eject on first hit and swap on second push (only once if no mag present).
  
• Will attempt a custom timed action in the future to combine those two things

Update 05.14.24 - Tons of New Gun Platings

• M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle
  
• M1 Garand
  
• SIG SG 550
  
• Model 1897 Trench Gun

Full Auto is only a little faster than sem-auto but it is smoother. It is locked behind the animation speed and recoil delay. Will be exploring temporary shifts in recoil delay if set to full auto

- Fixed the cleaning recipes for the last batch of handguns added to the mod
- Added a redundancy for suppressor attachments when removed in order to combat the desync issues of keeping the suppressor sound after removal

Update 08.28.23

• Upped the sound volume in the sound script for the pistol suppressor (give feedback please)
  
• Changed the sounds of the Glock 21 as it was reported as being off for the type of gun

Update 08.20.23 - The Unrequested Handgun Additions

The current and future list of firearms was beginning to be quite imbalanced and to combat that I decided to focus in on the handgun arena before tackling the remaining list.

• Glock 21
  
• FN Five-Seven
  
• Luger P08
  
• Walther PPK
  
• Makarov
  
• American Derringer
  
• Kel-Tec PLR-16
  
• Mosin Nagant Obrez

• Compensator Handguns
  
• Muzzlebrake Handguns
  
• Tactical Grip

• New Handgun attachments were made backwards compatible with original handguns
  
• Added Ammo types 5.7x28mm and .380 ACP
  
• Added American Deringer to the Pink Plating firearm skin list
  
• Added a Pre-Attach file that will now populate new gun spawns with available attachments. Some attachments were purposely not added to the lists.

• Ammo Cans, Firearm Caches, and Loot distribution are all updated with the new ammo types, attachments, and Firearms
  
• Created OnCreate for sawing or transforming guns without losing the specific firearm properties
  
• Updated saw off recipe to use any item with the saw tag
  
• Updated SPR 220 Sawnoff to match Reload Time of its regular version
  
• Fixed the Reflex and Holo sights 3d models not visibly showing on M14s
  
• Small increase in spawn rate of Compound Crossbow and a couple additional spawn spots to keep it rare but not unobtainable
  
• Attempted to reduce the sound volume of Barrett Rack, Eject, Insert, and Pistol Suppressor in the script to alleviate some sounds coming across too loud (may not fix it)
  
• Added condition checkpoints on all varying transform functions - melee mode, fold unfold, integrated, and cleaning. This is to reinforce condition properties defined in sandbox options

• Toggle spawns for Firearm Types
  
• Toggle spawns for Ammo Types
  
• Toggle spawns for Weapon Attachment Types
  
• New Modifier option to influence spawns of each Firearm Type
  
• New Modifier option to influence spawns of each Ammo Type
  
• New Modifier option to influence spawns of each Weapon Attachment Type

• By default suppressor levels are 40-50% and unbreakable
  
• You can change suppressor reduction percent to between 10% - 70% in sandbox options
  
• You can turn suppressor breakage that can range between an average of 100 - 2000 shots. Sandbox options 1 = 100, 10 = 1000 average.
  
• Suppressors will periodically lose 1 condition based on those settings, after losing 10 they will turn broken and detach and land in your inventory
  
• Each condition loss point will degrade the reduction in sound radius and volume
  
• Each condition loss will also increase the chance for the next condition loss in order to simulate degradation over use.

Update 08.12.23 - Attachment Refresh

• Stopping power was reduced across the board as its specifically connected to player vs player crit rate not zombies

Recoil Reduction was greatly impacting a handful of guns a bit more than expected. To better balance out stats these were removed or lowered quite a bit. To counteract that change some stats were added to attachments

• FiberglassStock
  
  • WeightModifier: 1.1 → -0.8

• Removed Angle Grip tweak addition for non HFO guns that already had a similar attachment option
  
• Sawn Off shotguns max hit count increased from 3 to 4
  
• Sawn off shotguns max damage and min damage reduced by 0.2 (still should increase damage total with 4 hit)

• Sawn Off shotguns also reduced another .9 kg to better reflect mass loss
  
• Sawn Off Shotguns Crit Damage Multiplier was Doubled
  
• DoubleBarrelShotgun Reload time from 25 → 10

After a deep dive, lots of information was figured out on modifiers and stat equations. Thanks for SD sharing @trombonaughts "All About Critical Hits in Project Zomboid" video as that got the ball rolling.

Modifier influence = (AimingPerkLevel * AimingPerkRangeModifier) /2

• Colt 1911 Pistol: 2 → 3 (increasing base max range to 23)

• M4A1: 2 → 2.5 (increasing base max range to 23)

Modifier influence = (AimingPerkLevel * AimingPerkCritModifier) /2

• Crit chance is capped at 90% and never goes below 10%
  
• Distance has a significant impact on critical chance. At 0 tiles, it gives a 28% bonus. For every tile beyond 0, there's a -7% reduction. This reduction will bring you to the minimum of 10% over larger distances
  
• In an attempt to counteract that for longer distances a higher AimingPerkCritModifier gives overflow allowing for falloff to start later

• Model 36: 6 → 8 (Falloff @ 6 instead of 4, bottoms @ 17 instead of 15)
  
• Model 625: 6 → 8 (Falloff @ 7 instead of 5, bottoms @ 18 instead of 16)
  
• Colt Anaconda Revolver: 6 → 8 (Falloff @ 8 instead of 6, bottoms @ 19 instead of 17)

• Model 870 Shotgun: 3 → 7 (Falloff @ 4 instead of 0, bottoms @ 15 instead of 12)
  
• SPR 220 Shotgun: 3 → 7 (Falloff @ 4 instead of 0, bottoms @ 15 instead of 12)
  
• AK74U: 5 → 10 (Falloff @ 6 instead of 4, bottoms @ 17 instead of 14)
  
• AK74: 6 → 10 (Falloff @ 7 instead of 4, bottoms @ 18 instead of 15)
  
• AK103: 4 → 12 (Falloff @ 7 instead of 4, bottoms @ 19 instead of 14)
  
• Franchi: 5 → 8 (Falloff @ 5 instead of 4, bottoms @ 16 instead of 14)
  
• Henry Repeating Big Boy: 6 → 12 (Falloff @ 9 instead of 5, bottoms @ 20 instead of 16)
  
• Groza OTs14: 5 → 10 (Falloff @ 7 instead of 4, bottoms @ 18 instead of 14)

• CrossbowCompound: 5 → 8 (Falloff @ 7 instead of 5, bottoms @ 19 instead of 16)

Modifier influence = (AimingPerkLevel * AimingPerkHitChanceModifier)

• Hit chance for firearms cannot go above 95%
  
• Hit chance is impacted by a large amount of factors including movement, fatigue, pain, etc.
  
• To counteract some of those factors and have more consistent hit chance it is intentional to build in overflow a little bit and extra for marksman style firearms

• Beretta M9: 6 → 8
  
• Desert Eagle: 10 → 8
  
• Model 36: 7 → 8
  
• Colt Anaconda Revolver: 9 → 8
  
• Model 700 Rifle: 8 → 12
  
• Model 788 Rifle: 8 → 13
  
• Colt M16: 10 → 8 (match closer to other assault rifles)
  
• M14 Rifle: 8 → 9
  
• Model 870 Shotgun: 6 → 7
  
• SPR 220 Shotgun: 5 → 6
  
• Model 870 Sawnoff Shotgun: 7 → 4
  
• SPR 220 Sawnoff Shotgun: 5 → 3
  
• AK74U: 7 → 8
  
• Groza OTs14: 9 → 7 (was a bit higher than most other guns)
  
• StG 44: 9 → 8
  
• Mosin Nagant: 10 → 12 (a bit higher overflow on hit chance than other firearms)
  
• SVD Dragunov: 9 → 11 (matching overflow to similar rifles but a little lower)
  
• M4A1: 9 → 8

Hit chance changes to simulate low level aiming experiences by decreasing the base but increasing gains of aiming level on hit chance

• Model 700 Rifle: 65 → 30
  
• Model 788 Rifle: 65 → 20
  
• Colt M16: 35 → 30
  
• M14 Rifle: 50 → 30
  
• Mosin Nagant: 20 → 10

Modifier influence = (AimingPerkLevel * AimingPerkMinAngleModifier) / 2

• Min Angle is the cone in which targets are acquired. 1.1 is pinpoint narrow and 0.6 is basically as wide as your view cone
  
• A few cones were much larger than anticipated and some need to be similar to the style of firearm

• Beretta M9: 0.008 → 0.01
  
• Colt 1911: 0.008 → 0.01
  
• Desert Eagle: 0.008 → 0.01

• SPR 220 Sawnoff Shotgun: 0.005 → 0.01 (since base was changed from .8 to .9)
  
• AK74: 0.01 → .008
  
• AK103: 0.01 → .008
  
• Groza OTs14: 0.02 → 0.01 (was too wide at max level)
  
• StG 44: 0.02 → 0.01
  
• Mosin Nagant: 0.01 → .005 (more in line with similar firearms)
  
• SVD Dragunov: 0.02 → .008 (way to wide and now more in line with similar firearms)
  
• Remington 1100: 0.01 → .008
  
• FG42: 0.01 → 0.008
  
• M4A1: 0.01 → 0.008
