Doesn't appear as equipment to mount to vest, doesn't appear as attachment to add to weapons. Tested on vanilla. It's broken.

@幼儿园的扛把子 Yeah, the one in the back is more for working with teammates or as cover for your back when in lonewolf.

About the legs clipping, I tried to minimize it as much as I could while keeping the shield at a somewhat realistic distance from the character. I can try making a different pose for crouching if it's a big issue.

What I found out is that if you crouch and stand still, but turn around, your leg will be exposed, so when looking around, move just a tiny bit forward and it will "reset" the feet position to be behind the shield.

There is also the problem that the legs will be clipping by the shield when crouching so that they can be attacked by enemies,It may be that the shield is relatively small.

Sorry it‘s my problem,I tried it out last week, and it works,both Host Game and lone wolf.

However, using a shield without teammates cannot deal with threats and can only be used for passive defense,there is no way to attack the enemy,I wish you can somehow make it attack the enemy.

Even with such minor issues, it cannot be denied that this is a good mod!:steamhappy:

@SKanuckS69 Pistols are a whole different deal because grips don't work on them :/

make it possible to combo it with pistols too?

@Andyyy No plans on adding those things.

No other flashlight stuns/flashbang people and I don't think shield bashing someone to death would be very realistic...

There's also the balancing for PvP and I already think the shield as a rifle attachment is pretty overpowered as it is and works fine for killing people if you attach a laser to your rifle.

@幼儿园的扛把子 That's weird, I just tested the shield with my wife in Deathmatch using the Host Game option and both shields worked correctly...

I couldn't hit her through the shield and she couldn't hit me through the shield. We even tried killing each other a bit and respawning to check if there was a bug with that and it also worked correctly.

Anything I might have missed? Maybe it's not working in dedicated servers or something else?

Bulletproof doesn't seem to be possible in multiplayer But it works in lone wolf

Andyyy 30 Dec, 2024 @ 5:14pm

Andyyy 30 Dec, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
a shield bash to be exact
Andyyy 30 Dec, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
could somehow make it so you can melee with the shield and kill the ones glued to you

I wish pistols were as easy as rifles... I'll take a look again and see if there's anything else I can do to make adding shields easier, but my guess is that it will require adding custom animations and making a new weapon for each pistol+shield combo unfortunately...

I just tested it and it's working perfectly. I suggest upgrading to allow use with a pistol.
Lieutenant 💀 30 Dec, 2024 @ 8:17am 
I played Lone Wolf, but I'll update again and test
Paiva  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 7:32pm 
@Lieutenant 💀 Did you update the mod and did you test it in multiplayer or lonewolf?

Worked fine in lonewolf for me after the last fix...
Lieutenant 💀 29 Dec, 2024 @ 5:48pm 
The shield still doesn't hold a shot, I just tested it.
Paiva  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 2:02pm 
Change notes:
- Fixed issue with shield not stopping bullets anymore
- Added the shield as an underbarrel attachment for long weapons
- Replaced the model with a more high quality and scale correct one. The previous model was way bigger than its real life counterpart.
Paiva  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 9:46am 
Will take a look into that, thanks for reporting it!
Dorkydude1 29 Dec, 2024 @ 8:44am 
For me It is not currently blocking bullets in lone wolf either
Jagelix 29 Dec, 2024 @ 8:18am 
i did little mod testing in my server just now and yea it does block from grenades but now it dosent block bullets even from long distances it still dosent block, it was working fine meabe 2 days ago. My guess is when u reworked shield to block grenades it changed how it behaves on bullets
Paiva  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 7:52am 
@Ray There is a way to use the shield with rifles as a "grip attachment", it's a little buggy when not in the ready position, reloading or doing other stuff that requires the off hand to be used, but it's better than nothing...

Pistols can't take grips or anything like that, so it would have to be a shield+pistol combo with custom animations for it to work as expected..
Ray 28 Dec, 2024 @ 9:07pm 
Nice mod! But still a pity that unable to use pistol the same time
Paiva  [author] 28 Dec, 2024 @ 8:06pm 
@幼儿园的扛把子 it should be bulletproof and grenade resistant... I only tested it in lonewolf though, so it's possible there might be a bug when playing with other players I'm currently unaware of.

Also sometimes the animation might expose parts of your body, so there's that too...

@red It's in the Equipment category when you customize your vest/plate carrier
幼儿园的扛把子 28 Dec, 2024 @ 7:15pm 
Why not bulletproof?
red 28 Dec, 2024 @ 3:40pm
