can you please make HK USP Match - with IIopn's animations by Crabs Johnson for thanez hev replacment pack?

Sounds good, man. I'll add you and if you ever change your mind, hmu. In the meantime, feel free to join that discord and at least keep up with everything if you're interested.

@Wildshot thank you for the offer, but no, i'm very busy with real life things right now, don't have enough time to work on big mods/projects at the moment.

Hello. My team is working on Black Mesa: HECU and we were wondering if you could do some weapons for us? We'd love to have you on the team and you'd get full credit for your work and be invited on all future projects with Point Mass Studios!

is the hev replacement really required?

Mod isn't working after I manually installed it. Am I doing something wrong or is there something with the mod?

How do I tell which one of the vpk's is the one that I want?

@Pheex glad to hear that, and you're welcome ;)

Works great still as of date of this comment. Thanks! :)

Where can i find the .vpk files?

@Risitas_Fanboi only if you're going to use AWP with Thanez' arms, if Vanilla arms - HEV Replacement Pack is not needed.

do I really need to use the HEV Replacement Pack for this to work?

@McCovican sorry for late reply - i didn't notice this sound issue before, i'll try to fix and update it for everyone later, when i get more free time, thanks for figuring this issue out ;)

@ethanbear360 #savetf2 if you're about to edit some Vanilla map, or creating a custom map with using this AWP somewhere around - go ahead, i won't mind, just don't forget to leave links to original and mine version of AWP ;)

I'd love to see a version of the campaign that makes this fit better, like introducing it with a dead sniper or something. I might do that lol

@Taras_F97 another great mod, also you should do what @McCovican suggested in regards to the gunshot getting cutoff by the bolt racking.

Very nice work with the improvements.
I still wish you'd hurry up and add viewmodel blood :P

So, yeah, I had an old version of MBWS kicking about, that did it. My bad.

However, in fixing it, I noticed that the sound of racking the bolt to eject the spent brass cuts off the sound of the muzzle blast. I found a fix that you could perhaps incorporate into the mod if you wish:

I copied "game_sounds_weapons.txt" from the "scripts" directory of "bms_misc_dir.vpk" and edited the "channel" variable of "weapon_crossbow.DrawString" to use "CHAN_ITEM" instead of "CHAN_WEAPON". This allows the sound of the muzzle blast to ring out at the same time as the sound is played of the bolt being racked for the next round.

@McCovican most likely you have installed some mod that replaces Crossbow's sounds and/or scipts in the first place, check your custom folder for it and try again.

Sorry, that's what I meant. I've picked the vanilla HEV/with bipod VPK out of the RAR and got it into the custom folder. The viewmodel for it is working fine, animations and scope are great, it's just the sounds that don't work.

@McCovican main .rar file contains 4 .vpk files inside of it (just like description says), download that .rar file manually via Steam Workshop Downloader, unpack it, then pick your one favorite weapon version (.vpk file), and move it into "custom" folder, then it will work. If you don't want to download entire .rar file with all weapon variations - you can go to mod's page on GameBanana, all weapon variations there is separated on 4 parts for faster downloading.

Love this, looks great, but unfortunately, I'm still stuck with default crossbow sounds (default HEV arms, with bipod). I've made sure it's in the custom folder, removed any other crossbow mods I had, started a new game... no joy. any ideas?

@Quandale Dingle most likely you have installed another custom mod that replaces Crossbow's model, check your custom folder for it and try again.

I've downloaded the mod, installed it correctly, but the AWP model isn't showing up. I get the scope and the sound but the model is the crossbow still. How can i fix this?

@Vassago Rain yes, i was thinking about that too, right when i found original AWP mod, because M40A1 Sniper Rifle would be much better replacement for Crossbow, kinda more "lore friendly" stuff indeed.

I had a thought the other day that, with some refinement, this project could be used to recreate the M40A1 rifle, The Sniper Rifle, from opposing force.

As I understand, viewmodel blood is a simple toggle, and the game will apply blood and xen blood decals automatically if it's set.

@Vassago Rain yes, i was thinking about that too, to make and upload versions with retail arms including all features available here (not sure about viewmodels with blood though), i'll do it when i get more free time.

Can we get this on the retail arms, with viewmodel blood enabled?

I'm copy the file into the custom folder just in case, it does work i can hear the gun sound, the reload sound, and the scope work,but not the first person model :)) it still the crossbow not the awp

@B.a.l.l.S.a.c.k ™ then everything should work just fine :D

@Taras_F97 the only mod i have was Thanez HEV Replacement Pack

@B.a.l.l.S.a.c.k ™ as you wish, it's up to you - you can either subscribe and it will be automatically installed and able to play (unless you already have installed similar mod that replaces original Crossbow files), or just download this mod directly via Steam Workshop Downloader, or from GameBanana website.

do i have to copy the mod file then paste it into the custom folder ? or just subscribe and play ?

@mr.bruh69420 if you don't have installed any mod that replaces original Crossbow files (IIopn's Crossbow Animation for example) - then no, it should work fine.

Will this mod clash with any other weapon model and/or texture replacements I have?

@ethen3386 yes, exactly.

does this replace the crossbow
