"Bad guy gun"
1v4n94 10 Dec, 2019 @ 9:42am 
Have fun! ;)

Alright so i changed my game to ENG and placed the .vpk in custom and... it works!
So Thanks a lot to 1v4n94 and to The Lieutenant!
The Lieutenant  [author] 9 Dec, 2019 @ 6:45pm 
Oh! Yes, this mod makes changes to the english localization file. If you wanted to do something for french, you'd need to modify the french localization file.
GrunsTala 9 Dec, 2019 @ 9:37am 
Oooh... ok, thanks you a lot 1v4n94! I'll try setting my game in ENG and reinstall the mod
1v4n94 8 Dec, 2019 @ 7:15pm 
No problem, Gruns. This mod would only work with English language.
GrunsTala 8 Dec, 2019 @ 8:33am 
@1v4n94 Sorry didn't see your reply, well my game is in French but it shouldn't break the mod right? (I'm not fully sure of what you've said)
1v4n94 7 Dec, 2019 @ 4:40pm 
@GrunsTala
Maybe it's because of a version change of the game since this mod was last updated.
GrunsTala 7 Dec, 2019 @ 12:12pm 
Looks great but it doesn't work for me, even when i take the .vpk and place it in my custom folder... any idea on why it doesn't work?

"Fap-cycle"?


Accurate
sydney 17 Aug, 2017 @ 2:25pm 
that to
The Lieutenant  [author] 16 Aug, 2017 @ 8:14pm 
It wasn't the change of "pump-action" to "fap-cycle"?
sydney 15 Aug, 2017 @ 4:44pm 
The thing that convinced me was the name "Marxist Grenade"
The Lieutenant  [author] 14 Jun, 2017 @ 10:46pm 
Just realized it was missing part of the path in the fourth bullet point. That should be more clear now
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 10:09pm 
Man these names need to be small jfc.
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 10:02pm 
I think I figured it out, testing.
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 9:56pm 
I rebuilt a VPK using my custom file, where would I put it?
The Lieutenant  [author] 14 Jun, 2017 @ 7:45pm 
@DEATH INCARNATE By all means, do as you will. Just put a credit somewhere.
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 7:09pm 
Author, for the die hard enthusiasts, do you mind if I take your concept and make a more hardcore version and release it?
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 7:04pm 
Nevermind, I figured it out. Guys if you really don't like the names he gave just follow his directions above about the mod not working, use GCFScape (look it up yourself on google) to open and modify the resource file. Just Ctrl+F "INVENTORY" and keep looking until you find Weapon_ titles.
Peluceus Donmian 14 Jun, 2017 @ 6:59pm 
I do appriciate the concept, but it is a little awkward to select the guns with somewhat unconventional names. Can you give a tutorial of some sort so I can just go in and change the names myself for my copy?
sputnikswthrt33 26 May, 2017 @ 7:40pm 
@Lilly The irony in that remark is tremendous.
The Lieutenant  [author] 26 May, 2017 @ 12:37pm 
Good Lord, that escalated quickly.
Lilly 25 May, 2017 @ 10:31pm 
Salt is heavy, stop hurting yourself so much with that load . I stopped reading after the first few words, how genuinely disinteresting you are.
Space Cadet 25 May, 2017 @ 9:58pm

>"bad guy gun"

You mean good guy gun. ϟϟ

"I'm sure you are going incredibly far in life"
>Goes full feminist and types in a paragraph of why star wars blaster names are too generic for a generic weapon mod
good job
sputnikswthrt33 25 May, 2017 @ 9:20pm 
Note how the title of this mod states that the weapon names are supposed to be generic, yet you still attack the creator for making up childish names for guns and expect something more professional. Something tells me you're far more retarded than you make Lieutenant up to be. OCD maybe?
Lilly 25 May, 2017 @ 9:13pm 
I find it funny your go to response is "you seem upset", it shows you can't take critique nor an incredibly minor dig at you which literally shows what I'm saying is true. You couldn't either stand by your (shoddy) work or possibly admit it could be better, it has to be because I'm flustered? You've got wonderful logic, I'm sure you are going incredibly far in life. Your excuse for an imbecilic naming system further shows you don't even know how to name the damn mod itself, you used star wars names? Setting aside how honestly sad that is, what part of "herp derp star wurs gun" sounds like a 'generic weapon name'? Actually it's sort of funny you mentioned it because you seem like the upset one simply due to someone actually pointing out what a moron you are. I'd be legitimately embarrassed to put this out, you are quite literally renaming text files and you are doing a piss poor job at that much.
The Lieutenant  [author] 25 May, 2017 @ 8:17pm 
You seem upset, Lilly. Also, BlasTek is from Star Wars. They manufacture the E-11 Blaster Rifle, standard issue to Stormtroopers. In the film, these were built from Sterling sub-machine guns, and in fact, most guns in Star Wars are created using WWII/Cold War era firearms. Han Solo's blaster is famously a Mauser C96 handgun.

I will rename the mod when you come over to my house and service my bad guy gun.
Lilly 25 May, 2017 @ 7:47am 
Honestly, what the fuck is "Blas Tek" even supposed to be? Again it just doesn't even fit as a basic name or whatever you want to try and call it, it sounds like something an idiot playing TF2 would use a name tag on his gun to rename it to. There's also a bunch you didn't even modify.. I know for a fact there's several people who actually don't know what "IED" stands for yet you don't change it, another way you could have possibly made this mod -actually- useful but instead you're basically just making it look like a child scrawled on your UI while laughing. It's the textual equivelent of drawing a moustache and horns on a random photo. You should really consider renaming this to "Silly Weapon names" or something like that because this really isn't as advertised.
Lilly 25 May, 2017 @ 7:47am 
Half these names are moronic and the other half are -kind- of as advertised. Like, "Battle Rifle" Is actually a good replacement for the layman but then you call an mp40 the "bad guy gun".. like, really? Are you six? You could have thought of something slightly better than that couldn't you? Nazi SMG would have been better and that took maybe half a second to think of, I imagine there's far better than that.

The Lieutenant  [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 7:52pm 
There's a real reason. It's kind of a stupid reason, but it's real.
Peluceus Donmian 24 May, 2017 @ 7:08pm 
"I'm out of names, Guardian Rifle sounds cool. Let's go with that. Yeah."
The Lieutenant  [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 12:27pm 
Clever, but that's not it.
Peluceus Donmian 24 May, 2017 @ 2:25am 
Galil > Gale >Gore > Gosh > God > Guard >Guardian
The Lieutenant  [author] 23 May, 2017 @ 4:06pm 
Yeah. Also, cookies to whoever pieces together the insane thought process that made me label the Galils "Guardian Rifles"
Peluceus Donmian 23 May, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
There seems to be some sort of confusion about all the different terms, so here goes; A battle rifle is a rifle that fires a "true" rifle round-- 7.62x51, .30-06, etc. The G3, M14, etc. An assault rifle usually classifies any rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge-- 5.56, .308, etc.-- AKs, ARs, etc. Battle rifles are more powerful, have larger effective ranges, and have that range to do damage from farther away. Assault rifles are only "as big as they need to be" since most encounters aren't far enough to warrant the battle rifle's larger caliber, so the added recoil and skill needed to control it is unwarranted. If you don't want to be technical, "assault rifle" will just about sum up any full-auto capable rifle of any caliber, but you need something to differentiate the different names, right?
CrippledHex 23 May, 2017 @ 1:05pm 
This mod cured the salty team mates in my group. Now all we need is an E11 model! Insta fave.
The Lieutenant  [author] 23 May, 2017 @ 11:18am 
I refuse to call the sterling anything other than "BlasTek E11 Blaster Rifle". And that's final.
Glam Stachee☆ 23 May, 2017 @ 4:43am 
Just find this mod .vpk and edit it yourself,I do that,it might take some time but you get used to it.
00C9FF 22 May, 2017 @ 11:11pm 
This is hillarious.

I like the idea, but I kind of want a serious one. Like, simply name them as the type of weapon it is rather than making a funny but kind of out of place meme about it. Call both the AKM and M16A4 assault rifles, for example.

I am definitely the kind of person who changes models a lot.

>Bad Guy Gun
>Blast Tek E-11

Holy shit, my sides are in orbit.

Can you name the L1A1 the Dijubouti Shooty?:steamhappy:
God's Drunkest Driver 22 May, 2017 @ 7:42pm 
Just kidding, I figured it out. You may want to edit the last part so it says this:
Cop "generic weapon names.vpk" and "generic weapon names.vpk.sound.cache", and paste it into steamapps\common\insurgency2\insurgency\custom
God's Drunkest Driver 22 May, 2017 @ 7:34pm 
I can't get this mod to work, and I've tried putting it in every possible folder. Can you help, author? <3
JUCHE GANG 22 May, 2017 @ 5:51pm 
you're the first person to ever find fault with the term "battle rifle"
congrats
Borker 22 May, 2017 @ 5:42pm 
"fap-cycle" for shotguns...
flaco 22 May, 2017 @ 5:09pm 
lmfao i love this
The Lieutenant  [author] 22 May, 2017 @ 2:00pm 
☆Radical Mexican☭: Alright, I changed it.
