Improved default armoury (Reflections, positions, model and texture improvements))

[Yhdf]

This mod aims to bring the definitive update to the good and old San Andreas's weapons, it consists basically on fixes and improvements, such as improved 3d parts, upscaled and minor edits on textures and icons, position fixes, uvmapping, scale and overall design.

Also, don't worry about being too HQ, they're still atmospheric to the game and not far from the original size of the vanilla weapons.

Hope you enjoy them. 

(They come with the original 3d muzzleflash model attached to them, you can opt to force the effect from effectsPC with a mod).

 

Features

 

• Upscaled Textures and minor edits and uvmap fixes
• Icons in better resolution (128x128)
• New muzzleflash texture
• 3d muzzleflash on models
• Reflections and extra effects
• Improved 3d model
• Mip Mapping
• Position and scale fixes
• New uvmaps (Check paracx.txd, might be useful if you want to change the parachute)
• 3D triggers
• 3D lens on scope and cameras
• Cutscene models converted as a bonus

FIRST! Heh-heh, nice work there, Yhdf! I was somehow looking for a mod like this, I'm gonna download and install it right away.

[1xGamer]

Desert eagle still looks ugly as sh*t. They didn't even bothered to remodel it for SA after it was left unused in VC.

[firedihm]

I remember a while ago you released a mod that added envmaps to vanilla weapons, but sniper rifle was bugged in that pack and caused crashes. Have you fixed it since? 

[Yhdf]

Yep, this version is way better.

[Jinx.]

The definitive weapon mod. Though I agree that R* did a poor job with the deagle (and probably every other weapon) when Manhunt has better models and are even used in the cutscenes.

 

Does the Sawnoff still work with that weapon animation mod by Junior?

Edited August 9, 2019 by Jinx.

[Yhdf]

Yes it does still work as usual, if he releases the promised rework on that mod, i may try to adapt these weapons to it aswell.

 

And about the deagle, i guess everybody hates it, just like me, it's just too much of a rushed model, but to keep things simmilar to vanilla, i opted to keep it like that, but i'll see if i can shape the mh2 deagle model on it, it's kinda simmilar in style, so, if it turns out any good, i'll update it.

That'd be much appreciated, it's the only gun in the game I just wished they kept the python from VC for instead (even the weirdly UV mapped sniper is okay in comparison).

[Yhdf]

I've adapted the mh2 deagle to fit the vanilla weapon style, turned out quite good tbh, also, i'm updating the colt 45, this one changes a bit on the colors, but if you take a look at the original, it looks retarded, they just uvmapped an actual image, so, the lighting of the real weapon, makes some parts black, instead of silver, since I'm adding reflections, these must be toned down

Edited August 9, 2019 by Yhdf

[Jinx.]

Now that looks really good!

[H-G]

I really like the Desert Eagle and M4 that are in the first version of this mod, I think you should keep them or add them as optional models if you prefer the MH2 weapons more. Also, how about doing a VC version using the (better) VC PS2 weapon models as a base?

 

P.S: Wasn't MH2 banned?

Edited August 10, 2019 by The Eddo

[Yhdf]

That m4 is based on the vc ps2 version, but upgraded on some parts, and yeah, i may make two downloads, the originals, with only reflections and fixes, and the other version that aims to improve them without losing the style too much.

 

Rockstar reused those models in almost every game since gta iii, so i may adapt them aswell, i have every 3d era weapon (or unused models) on that style, so yeah, someday, maybe there will be the gta iii, and vc version, and obviously, these are part of gta underground.

Did you use the LCS texture for the pistol, by any chance? If not, LCS has a cutscene model with a 128x128 texture iirc (no, it's not a glock). Not exactly the same as in III but might be helpful

[Yhdf]

I have used parts of it, but i used most of the original texture but edited it, and then upscaled it, to make it look more accurate to the color scheme of the former

[WarButler]

This is fantastic! The resizing of the weapon models makes a huge difference, and the reflections are a lovely touch. This is how the weapons should have always been!

I think if someone can rig the lcs gun from mobile release texture it would be better i think

[LaDiDa]

Could you port these weapons to their respective cutscene counterparts as well?

[Yhdf]

Maybe later down the road.

[GonerZZ]

I've been looking for this, however the UV mapping is really poor. Have you ever thought of fixing the UV?

Edited June 2, 2020 by DeltaNeo

[Yhdf]

I'm working on that, for some weapons, but i don't want to go too far away from the original feel, just an overall improvement.

[Yhdf]

EXCUSE ME?!? LOL. Ah, hell, whatever. Nice work on the mod anyway.

 

P.S: The night-vision goggles texture is not upscaled unlike the thermal-vision goggles, just letting you know.

[Yhdf]

Cuntgun is the file name for the country rifle

Nice, but just one suggestion: I wished you used VC PS2 weapons as a base for all weapons, like you did once with the old EnvMap for Weapons + Fixes mod. But there's no need to do it now, you can take all of the rest you want from this mod.

And yes, I know that. I was just kidding around.

Edited August 16, 2019 by The Eddo

[Yhdf]

But which weapon isn't ps2 based? I don't see much of a difference other than the vc m4, which mine is based on and even upgraded.

[Yhdf]

New version

Parachute backpack now has a more complete backpack look

The desert eagle model is finally on the mod, (i had forgotten it before)
