Viewmodels

Mods that change the position of the player's viewmodels in-game.

What are viewmodels?

A viewmodel is, basically, your arms and weapon. It represents whatever action your character is currently doing with their hands.

What if I want to edit these viewmodels for myself?

This isn't too hard to do, however it is rather tedious to edit the numbers, repack, replace, go in-game and check, repeat. Unpack the vpk then follow along.

Inside englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk, in scripts > weapons, there are a bunch of text files with important details about each weapon that the game uses.

For all but a few exceptions, you're going to scroll down until you see MP_BASE. Right under that should be "viewmodel_offset_hip" and possibly "viewmodel_offset_ads" if you're using a viewmodel mod. If not, you can add them in like so:

These dictate the position of your weapon from hipfire or ads. As you can see there are 3 numbers after each of the offset lines. These change the position of the weapon, with 0 being the default position for each.

The numbers are ordered in X Z Y. Positive X moves the gun to the right, negative left. Positive Z moves the gun forward, negative backward. Positive Y moves the gun up, negative down.

Titan weapons, like Leadwall in the example above, will need larger numbers to make a noticeable difference compared to pilot weapons.

What do all these file names mean? Some of them aren't the same as the names in-game...

(I won't be using underscores due to formatting, but these are in order!) (Items marked out like this are not important and have no noticeable viewmodel)
