is it possible to just use this version's FX and adjusted sound in the original mods? I like to use the original mods as an alternate tier of weaponry.

missing dependencies

yes if you only want to use them as skins / give them stats via other mods.

"It's a replacement", meaning I can unsubscribe to the 2 originals and just subscribe to this one?

Yes, it's a replacement, but the difference between this and the originals is that they no longer exist as selectable arsenal weapons, they're meant to be skinned to other weapons using an external mod.

it's a replacement

So, do we still need the "Mercenary Plasma Weapons" and it's "Faction Hero expansion"?

So don’t need the original two at all eh?

Nope.

Say can these weapons use the Underbarrel weapons and Bayonets?

do you accept mod commissions ?

@Gabriel Cooper
A better Barracks Arsenal uses the Mercenary Plasma for their own advanced Laser tiers

i really hope someone makes a addon for the Iridar's Five Tier Weapon Overhaul mod by adding mercenary weapons as a 6th tier one day, would be quite cool imo.

@Max - Not at home, using my phone. Couldn't remember the template names off the top of my head, and asked for clarification because I read your response to Stukov, but wasn't sure of your exact meaning.

Thank you for the clarification.

Did you not read the description, change log, or my reply to Stukov? i already changed them back to the originals. I updated it as soon as the mod got un-stuck from Steam's content check system.

@Max - Following on from Stukov's comments, would like clarification of wether the template names are the same as originals or not before we break hundreds of peoples campaigns.

Oh heck yeah. Reskining is so convenient. Thank you.

I'd have to see how spark arsenal implements those weapons specifically, take the merc sniper and size it up for sparks, and do some socket attachment adjusting. Probably do-able enough.

Any chance of adding a kitbashed model for use with the Spark Arsenal Heavy Artillery Cannons? A re-sized sniper rifle would work.

Ok

It got trapped inside Steam's automated content checking system for a day. I think they were having some API issues in general, possibly due to rolling out CS2 and it overwhelming them a bit, but that's just a guess.

Why was this delisted for a bit?

awesome! and thanks for your great mods

Actually, come to think of it, i don't know why i even changed the template names. Not like someone would have this installed along with the original mods, so there isn't really any reason for me to change the names. I'll remove the _Ghost suffix from them now while the mod's still literally brand new.

i guess i need to change the template names

in principle it is just a weapon skin replacer swaparoo like this

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=ABBA_PISTOL_LASERM2, DONOR_TEMPLATE=Pistol_MercPlasma, HIDE_ACCEPTOR_ATTACHMENTS=True, COPY_DONOR_ATTACHMENTS=True, HIDE_DONOR_TEMPLATE=True, HIDE_DONOR_SCHEMATIC=False)

I don't use that, and of course i don't know how it works internally, so ???

this should work without further adjustments with Kirukas ABBA right?
