We are super excited to be able to announce the release of the Enhanced Weapons Pack by ErrantAI. You can find more details about this amazing DLC here: https://www.game-guru.com/dlc/enhanced-weapons-pack



The GameGuru Enhanced Weapon Pack Includes:

AR15 - Well rounded, this semi-automatic rifle is outfitted with a red-dot and magnifier optics. Good accuracy, short-medium range optics, low light capability, and 30+1 rounds of 5.56x45mm onboard, the AR15 makes for an ideal patrol carbine or light-duty marksman rifle.

AKM - A select-fire assault rifle ubiquitous to low-intensity conflict across the globe. While this old warhorse has seen better days and lacks the appurtenances of more modern weapons, it makes up for it in firepower with 30+1 rounds of 7.62x39mm and a relatively easily tamed rate of fire.

B810 - This quick-deploying lock-blade may be small but is capable of a furious barrage of attacks. It can be held with the blade forward or reversed for a minor exchange of range for power.

Chainsaw - They don't make 'em anymore like this vintage "muscle saw". This beast is cumbersome, noisy, and guzzles fuel but once it gets going it gets the job done! Ears bleeding? Use the motor kill switch.

M29S - Don't let the diminutive size fool you, this snub-nosed .44 magnum revolver packs a serious punch. While slow to reload and limited in capacity, this six-shooter is flawlessly reliable and can be operated in either double-action or manual single-action modes for a modest exchange of speed for accuracy.

M67 - Primarily intended as a defensive weapon to deter pursuit, there's no rule that says you can't use this fragmenting hand grenade to get the party started!

Mk18 - This 5.56x45mm, commando-length "sub-carbine" boasts assault rifle firepower in a submachinegun sized package. Fast handling, fully-automatic, and topped with an illuminated red-dot optic, this weapon is ideally suited to close-quarters combat. A blistering rate of fire sends a lot of lead downrange but it can be difficult to control. To those ends, it is capable of semi-automatic fire for precision work and engaging targets at longer distances.

Mk19T - This iconic, two-tone beauty is as much of a status symbol as it is a sidearm. This pistol holds 8+1 rounds of commonly available .44 magnum ammunition and is equipped with a luminous front sight for improved aiming in all lighting conditions.

R870 - This short-barreled, pump-action, tube-fed shotgun features numerous tactical modifications including an illuminated optic for fast target acquisition. While limited in capacity to 5+1 rounds, it fires full power loads of 9-pellet, 12 gauge ammunition. The weapon's heavy recoil is best mitigated when shouldered. As such, this weapon is capable of a much brisker cadence of fire while aimed.

SledgeHammer - As simple as can be, this weapon consists of a 16lb. forged steel block mated to a shock-resistant fiberglass handle. This slow-swinging tool excels at breaking down physical barriers and for users with judicious timing, it makes a formidable melee weapon as well.

Gloves_Unarmed - For situations when your player character is unarmed. Uses the same hands as all of the other weapons in this pack. Additionally, designers can choose between four included texture sets which can also be easily applied to the other weapons to help customize their games.

More information can be found from the TGC product page and also from the Steam product page.

If anyone has any questions or whatever about the pack, I can answer them here so they don't have to sift through my thread on the media board.

I need it. Period.

I bought it today. It's amazing but I wish the hands didn't have gloves, so they'd match the melee weapons pack that was released.

The gloves are the ONLY thing making me wait on buying it. In love, otherwise.

It seems that EAI said that there is (or will be) switchable hands. Just need to be explained how to do that. I have an idea but haven't checked it out yet. If one cannot use somebody else's hand models then it won't work. :SMILE:

The user swappable-ness(??) Is for maps only and not meshes. So, there will always be gloves of some sort.

There are seven additional melee weapons that I have meshes updated for GameGuru but need PBR updates and anim tweaks. Most of those, along with a couple additional guns which use these arms will be coming to the store over the next couple weeks.

This pick is essentially the start of a series in which I will continue to add weapon types of different types and genres to over the next year or so. So, If there are additional weapons which you would like to see and are OK with them being on gloved hands, feel free to let me know. Now, I don't always act on requests but I do listen to them. For those not familiar with my work, you can have a look at weapons I did for GG's predecessor.

As a last note here; In my opinion, the GameGuru support for melee combat is still in its infancy. Currently, all you can really do is whack on things and it's not super exciting after a while. This is the main reason I didn't front-load melee weapons which I could have probably released a year or more ago. Ideally I'd like to be able to hold out for better melee combat mechanics such as defensive blocking/counter attack or even asymmetric dual wield but I have no idea when or if those types of features will ever come to GameGuru. However, if there is enough call for it, I will go ahead and make them available.

I want to cut the zombies in pieces with the chainsaw ...
Time for a new zombie pack ...

You can do that with lua, i think smallg had a script in hus post to do that.

To however needs to know, the weapons pack isnt listed under gameguru in the store, you have to search for it.

I bought this pack yesterday, I didnt use Gameguru for several years. I come back and I saw alot of good content then before. This pack is really amazed me! nuf said

Well said.

I would be interested to see the fantasy pack for GameGuru
https://eaimedia.com/2016/05/04/gcsfantasy/
In general I would prefer to see anything none present day warfare related. Fantasy, Medieval, Sci-FI

Regarding the enhanced weapon pack, it a beautiful piece of pack, but it is not interesting to me unfortunately.
Regarding gloves, hands always problem. Can be painful when you want to use two weapons in a game but the hands don't match.
In general, I would prefer hands with no gloves because it is easier to accept a Knight, a Terminator or British super soldier with no gloves than a cave man in a military glove. What a cave man would do with chain saw? Just use your imagination
I would even prefer if there would be no hands at all. I mean it is not realistic sure, but if I need to choose the player see no hands or see a muscular, male solder hands even though the character in my game is a little girl, I would go with no hands instead.
What a little girl would do with a crowbar? It a very sad story really but no zombies involved I can say that much...

The bottom line is, those military gloves can brake immersion more than no gloves or no hands in any scenario.

You could edit the textures for the hand part to be pure black. This should render them invisible.

I respectfully disagree. These are styled as standard, cheap light-duty, impact gloves. While yes, they can be military, they can also be for a construction worker, mechanic, adventurer, law enforcement or any random regular guy with a 20 dollar bill and a local Auto-Zone shop or Amazon account.



Technically, you would need to make the _color texture pure alpha and remove the arms_ shader maps but it should be possible. I haven't tried it with the current shader system. The pure black thing only worked with jpegs as they had no discrete alpha channel.

Ok, I bought it anyway. It looks great and I'm sure I will get some use out of it. Downloading now.

Just simply stunning weapon collection - thanks Errant

Can't use them in current game dev because of the gloved hands, but they are so much fun may have to start up another

Really top notch stuff - I'm in awe !

Cheers.

The glove templates and textures are in the docs folder if you want to change them or make your own textures.

docs/EAI Enhanced Weapon Pack DLC folder.

Finally managed to check back in and saw this pack, the collection looks great!

Since weapons and hands are the closest thing a player is going to see, the quality and PBR here looks like it makes a huge gameplay difference, especially the little things like the "reload" animation for the chainsaw.

Missed the promo but will definitely keep an eye on this one. Amazing work as always Errant!

WOW! This is totally awesomely awesome! Well done, EAI. Gonna buy it ASAP!

make a martial art dlc and samurai dlc even ninja dlc will be sweet thx brother

I have a strange issue with this pack : NPC AI do not shoot at player (they animate fine, including with new PP AI script) but they just don't press the trigger ....
Is this a bug ? Anyway to fix it or are the weapons in this pack designed to be used by player only ?

Which character, AI script, and weapon combination are you specifically using?

Let us know and I'll have a look to see what's up.

The regular guns should be usable by NPCs but this was probably not tested as thoroughly as it should have been, given GG's awkward/limited system for using non-stock weapons with characters.

Hi EAI
Thanks for your quick answer
I'm using custom characters made with GG Character Creator ( based on Uber.x models as all stock characters), with either assault or Uzi profiles. AI script is Public Preview AI soldier, weapon is your Enhanced Pack AKM
I've tested these characters with the same script and another 3rd party AK47 weapon, it works fine.
Thanks for your help

@reyandekcire

I was able to reproduce the and then correct it. VWEAP firespot needed to be rotated 90-degrees.

AI now blasts the tar out of me. Audio sounds weird when doing so but I suppose that's a separate global issue.

I will re-export the affected VWEAPS and submit to LEE for update through Steam.

Thank You for bringing this issue to light

Files have been submitted to Lee for distribution.

@ EAI : thanks for your reactivity.
I'm waiting for the update on Steam and will let you know. Otherwise, your models are just fantastic.

EWP should be updated on Steam now and it's also temporarily on promo. with a
20% discount for the time being.

I greatly appreciate the bug report and am a little embarrassed for not having it addressed sooner.

I also appreciate those who have taken the time to leave reviews on Steam

@EAI : works perfectly. Huge huge thanks for such a quick fix.

I just love the new weapon pack Errant. Thank you soo much you rock! The weapons I would like to see, I don't know if it is even possible with g.g. yet? Is some sci fi weapons that are capable of shooting a laser beam. Since we do have the mission to Mars pack with only one weapon. I do own the sci fi weapons from the store. But they shoot your typical bullet's. You know weapon's in movies such as Star Wars,Flash Gordon,Star Trek etc etc.

Bug with the updated DLC: When u shot with mk18 and some other weapons, if u are moving character "Stop" walk, if u are still, and automatic shoot u move backward without press any key

Thanks! I agree that we need engine tech to better facilitate things like energy/beam weapons or tracers. It can be kind of faked now with custom projectiles but it's a bit limited and buggy.



There has always been recoil push/force "feature" applied to the player when firing in GG. It's too aggressive IMO and in some builds it seems worse than others. I'd love to see a setup.ini flag to disable it or better per-weapon control over it. That said, I'm running a 2-day old beta build and am not experiencing the player being stopped as described... Only pushed back when stationary or slowed a little when walking forward and shooting. If you have very high FPS, you might try with vsync enabled as the rate of fire will be a bit slower. Force seems related to damage value so tweaking that could alter things as well.

@Errant AI


Thx for the reply. We really need a way to flag it cause imho is ver unrealistic! i'll try work on it... PS: Always loved your work!

PS. Forgot to ask: since i'm having some problem with importing Ar15 and mk18 in Fragmotion (vertice count exceed) Can u update with a folder (in doc folder like your hand texture) with .max or .fbx model to help us personify your model pack? Thx in Advice

It's highly unlikely that source (.max) or close-to-source (.fbx) asset formats will ever be included at this pack's price-point. My best suggestion, for now, is to contact the Fragmotion developers about this limitation of their software or find an alternative conversion utility.

UU3d will open them,and exports to many formats



Dave

If i rember right, u answered me in my post about this, i asked if is possible to convert without buy the full version, (atm i want see if it work well or not)

Not sure about a demo i have had the program for a long time,you would have to contact them

Dave

I still have the problem that, if I equip characters with the new weapons, I don`t hear their fire sounds. Just the ricochet of bullets.

GG's audio system doesn't like .ogg with positional audio.
I'll be sending Lee an update for this later this week but in the meantime you can convert the fire.ogg clips to .wav format (update gunspec.txt accordingly) and it should work.

Ha, I can do that!

Thanks for the quick reply

Ok, that worked, but I get three round burst sounds instead of single shots on pistols.

Can that be because I run Panther AI on your TF characters?

Not sure. You could try swapping out with stock pistol running same AI or stock character/AI to compare.

I've noticed some difference with semi-auto firing cadence between similar EWP vs. Stock weapons. Haven't dived into it enough to identify the cause of it. Could be related to fireloop=x, or firerate=x (unlikely) setting in gunspec, character rate of fire setting or a combination thereof.

Is it only burst audio or also burst fire?

only burst audio, otherwise it would be instadeath

Gunspec is set to fireloop = 2000. This setting should have no impact on semi-auto weapons but try changing to fireloop = 0 (same as stock 1911). If that doesn't work, try a very high value.

I am still in office but will play around a little bit tonight
