drebin052 321 Posted July 1, 2017 Loving the RS-16 so far. Especially the experimental holosight! Just a few things to point out: The resting pivot for all variants of the RS-16 without a bipod are too low, meaning you'll sink into the ground if you try to "deploy" them without a bipod attached. The RS-16 LMG currently uses the Marksmen DLC's Mk14 reload animation which really doesn't fit it. I'd suggest using the SPAR-16S's (the HK416A5 with the Beta-C drum that came with Apex) animation and re-syncing the drum's movement to fit that instead. Add underbarrel attachments to the baseline non-foregrip version of the RS-16 rifle. Seems a shame that you can't attach a bipod to it when the six o'clock rail is unused there anyway; the foregrip version of the RS-16 can be left alone since the grip already uses that rail. CBA's JR is obviously a requirement but your Steam Workshop page does not have it listed as a 'Required Item' on the sidebar. While your group's collection has it, it's probably a good idea to add it there as well so that people who subscribe to the mod that aren't from your group won't get confused when they try to run the mod the first time (as the launcher will not automatically put CBA into the load list). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the resting pivot has been bugging me a bit, still a bit hazy on how to get the change right but I'm getting there. 2. I had thought about that, but I think the drum positioning might be off. Nevertheless I'll take a look at it using that anim, and if worse comes to worse, I'll look at learning to make my own. 3. I actually thought that was already an option, quick fix, look out for an update. 4. Noted, I did have it listed in the description from way back when you couldn't add mod dependencies, probably best to add it. Thanks very much for the feedback. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drebin052 321 Posted October 2, 2017 I noticed that the Grenadier and Foregrip variants of the RS-16 seem to be able to attach bipods now even though they don't actually show on the model. Wrong inheritance in the config perhaps? EDIT: Yep wrong class inheritance. The UnderBarrelSlot property used by the sub-variants shouldn't be inheriting from the one used by the baseline RS-16. Just need to tweak both the GL and FG variants' WeaponSlotsInfo class so that they're like this: class rs_arifle_r2016_GL_F: rs_arifle_r2016_F { class WeaponSlotsInfo: WeaponSlotsInfo { class UnderBarrelSlot{}; // Prevents GL variant from inheriting the UnderBarrelSlot property }; }; class rs_arifle_r2016_FG_F: rs_arifle_r2016_F { class WeaponSlotsInfo: WeaponSlotsInfo { class UnderBarrelSlot{}; // Ditto }; }; P.S. Hot damn that RS-17 looks good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always miss something XD Forgot I was inheriting the weapon slots. Will hotfix when I'm home from work. Also, glad you like it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
