Gunplay Overhaul [.OIV] v1.5
A new name, for a completely redone mod.
Gunplay Overhaul aims to make GTA’s weapons and ballistics more realistic and closer to shooters such as Squad and Insurgency, while maintaining the original feel of GTA’s gunplay. I made this mostly just for myself but put a lot of work into it to bring to as high a quality as possible so that I’m happy with releasing it. As such, I’m no longer going to include many optional files or variations. While I will fix any bugs found, I likely won’t be taking many suggestions into consideration.
This overhaul includes features such as:
– Weapon damage values, ammo type, and penetration values dependent on weapon caliber
– Realistic muzzle effects and removal of tracers on most weapons
– Removal of hitmarkers (courtesy of Derrysan360) and ability to turn off reticle through game options
– Magazine capacity based on real life equivalents
– Overhaul of pickups necessary to ensure ammo types and amounts are correct when picking up a weapon (also has other features that contribute to making weapons more realistic)
– Faster firerates for semi-auto pistols and pump-action shotguns
– Better animations for MGs and the Micro SMG
– Configured to work with most weapon sound modifications (when possible, choose sound only installations. if not possible, install sound modifications before this)
– And too many other small changes to list
Installation may take a few minutes.
ATTENTION: Set target style to ‘complex’ to remove reticle or to ‘simple’ to keep reticle.
Requirements:
– OpenIV
Included Optionals:
– Less Than Lethal Pump Shotgun: simulates rubber bullets, the pump shotgun still does some damage and can still kill, but very rarely will it (non-aggressive peds are incidentally more at risk than aggressive peds)
– Immersive Pickups Compatibility for Stryfaar’s Immersive Pickups glow and no glow versions
– Bullet Car Penetration (although does not respond differently to different vehicles so armored vehicles get penetrated just as easily as non-armored)
Recommended Mods:
– Immersive Pickups by Stryfaar
– Gun Recoil by Eddlm
– Realistic Guns Sounds by XENORT
– Or any other weapon sounds mod, Gunplay Overhaul is designed to be compatible with
most sound mods
Please report any bugs you find in the comments and I’ll try to fix them.
