Realistic Gun Pickup

[xB0NGx]

Hey I've got a heavily modded GTA, looks beautiful, very realistic, and I have just one thing bugging me now. The weapon pickups. I don't like how they're floating and rotating, was wondering if there was a mod that just had the weapon laying on the ground, possibly with a small glow like in GTA IV. Its really the only mod I'm missing right now, because I haven't found it anywhere and believe me I've looked all over. I just want the weapons to be laying flat on the ground, kind of like when the Gun Dealer in Ammunation sets a weapon down on the counter when you select it. If someone could either link me or slap together the mod, I would really appreciate it. I know some of you modders could do this blindfolded, so I hope to see the mod soon. If you could do the same with the money pickups, that'd be just fantastic. Thanks

I think it's possible do make something similar,

but it won't work for weapons that people lost when you killed them.

And it would be a lot of work to do, you would have to do this with every single weapon pickup in whole san andreas...

I was thinking about doing this but it's a pretty complex thing to do and I'm not sure if San Andreas can handle it

 

First thing, though... I need to find the pickup pool

Oh I just figured it was possible to find the file that handles pickups and edit them so that the weapon models wouldn't be rotating and be lying on one side on the ground. If that can't be done then that's a darn shame

I did it once in 2 different ways, but it ended up being quite buggy and eventually I cut it out.

If you still have it maybe you should upload it to gtagarage and give permission for others to modify it, maybe with a few talented modders it could become flawless

Wait. Your saying NTAuthority isn't a talented modder?

mmm i thinked if someday, someone couyld do that, and of course that it can be do!!! i mean, why not adding to the pick ups a collision, and then make them objets!!! LIKE THE BOXES AND DESCTRUTIVES OF GTA SA!!!! and once u touch them u get them!!!

lol no of course not, just saying if there were more modders putting more time on it it might work out better... I'd never diss a modder!

Pickup operations are complex... It seems to require converting a pickup to an object and then modifying it... Then there would have to be checks done manually... All in all, it seems like too much for a simple change.

 

But there must be some way to NOP out the rotation at least... I've still not had much of a chance to investigate, but I've been concentrating mostly on documenting addresses to change the properties of other things... As well as a whole load of mods!
