Survey: Regarding the camera motion and head bobbing in the single pistol animations
Alright, so I noticed a number of users of this mod - both from the comment sections and from personal friends who have tried this mod out - complained about the excessive head bobbing and camera motion that comes with the single pistol animations.

At first, I decided to include it because of the increased camera motion simulating the recoil during the fire animation, which is supposed to give it the feel of the M1911/M45 from Insurgency (it had the highest recoil of all pistols in the game), but now that I notice it, there is also head bobbing and camera motion in the walking and even idle animations, which may be causing accuracy issues as to where the crosshair is versus where the bullets actually go.

Based on your feedback, I will be offering four options as for how to deal with this:

1) Keep the mod as it is; don't change anything, period. [1 vote]
2) Remove the head bobbing and camera motion altogether. [2 votes]
3) Upload an optional "no camera motion" download on dropbox and put a link in the description, like I did with my M4A1. [6 votes, winner]
4) Attempt to edit the animations to remove the camera motion and head bobbing from the idle and walking animations, though it will still remain intact everywhere else, including in the deploy, firing, and reload animations. This is probably going to be easier said than done, though. [0 votes]

If a general consensus develops over the next couple of days over what option sounds best, I may do one or more of the above, depending on what that consensus is. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there. I did'nt even notice the head movement at first and even now I don't mind. It's not annoying to me in any way - there are other mods where you get the feeling of head banging all the time to a Judas Priest song stuck in he survivors head. Same counts for the movement of the gun. Not to much, just that right ammount. Great mod though, thanks for the conversion. It's one of those I will not replace anytime soon.

Point 3 is fine with me, I stick to 1.

Have a good day.

3 would be nice.
Honestly, the accuracy issue isn't much to me but having headbob around gives me headache.

I myself am in favor of option 3, as does seem to be the consensus of the user base thus far. (4 for option 3 not including myself, 2 for option 2)

I'm probably going to close this poll tomorrow night and take action based on the consensus at that point, So, if you haven't cast your votes in and you want some sort of change in this mod, please do so before then!

3 is nice and incredibly helpful of you.

If it isn't too much trouble for you, I think we'd all appreciate it if both versions were available.
Please and thank you!

3. Two versions is always nicer. You did great with the M4A1.

3 Is a great idea!

Based on the consensus, the favorite choice was option three: make a no-camera version and provide a link in the description. I have done that just now.

Voting is now closed.
