xQd, if you have a minute, can you quickly explain the changes you make to missions 19 and 22?

You also have to reset your keybinds in-game (you can rebind them again later). Run the game, go to the OPTIONS menu, select CONTROLS, and then select SET KEYS & BUTTONS. Press F1 to RESTORE DEFAULTS ALL CATEGORIES. The S+ shortcuts should work after that.

No one has any ideas why decal_containers.asm_pc isn't updating?

I absolutely love that we can now use shotguns in vehicles (feels like Terminator 2), but I wonder if changing their <Weapon_Class> to 'pistol' in weapons.xtbl can cause some collateral problems with armed NPC spawns, etc. Anyone has any ideas on this matter? I also tried to find a way to...

The UpdateASM tool (Rev 96) worked fine for other asms, but for some reason, I'm getting an error when I'm trying to update decal_containers.asm_pc from decals.vpp_pc (extracted with UnpackVPP.exe). I didn't modify any of the str2_pc files mentioned in the error text (just the cpeg/gpeg_pc), and...

Why do we need ModLoader or modified vanilla vpp_pc files, again? I extracted the tpf file with TPFextract, renamed the dds files to tga.dds (to match the original names), and used them to replace the textures from sr3_city_awld.gpeg_pc (sr3_city_0.vpp_pc -> sr3_city_awld.str2_pc ->...

I'm still away from my SR3 machine right now, but I'll look at the code and test it as soon as I come back. Thanks a lot for doing this. EDIT: Just spent some time testing this, and sadly it doesn't seem to work at all. I reset the keybinds several times, and the rest of the keybinds work, but...

People who are interested in fully dynamic day-night cycles may want to look into this once again to be 100% certain. I was working with weather today (tweaking for realistic-looking rain, etc), and I realized that since weather changes are dynamic and that weather_time_of_day.xtbl contains...

IdolNinja, you seem to be the biggest expert on SR3 lua editing around here. Can you give your thoughts on the co-op passenger mod question above? Is it theoretically possible to create something like this, or there are some limits or complications that you know of that would make it as...

I just realized why I had no camera control over the yarn ball in Sexy Kitten Yarngasm. Both this and the "Uzi's Better Camera_free (Camera View) mod" are using an older version of camera_free.xtbl. There is a newer version (attached) that can be found either in patch_compressed.vpp_pc or in...

Regarding the follower passenger mode, is it also theoretically possible to adapt something like this for co-op human players? Something like a direct keyboard shortcut (at least for the host) either for jumping directly into a passenger's seat (even if the driver's seat is empty), or for...

Regarding the "too much asphalt" part: controlling the camera angle turned out to be much easier than I thought. If you lower the value of <Manual_Aim_Elevation_Angle>, it'll will move the crosshair position down, forcing you to always keep the camera higher than usual. Right now, I settled on...

I had to increase the FOV by about 10 degrees (so it wouldn't feel as nauseating), but other than that, I'm loving it so far. I think I'll use this perspective for my next playthrough, thanks. EDIT: Also, I think the camera shows too much asphalt. If it's possible to 'separate' the camera from...

Your mod turned out to be invaluable for testing xtbl tweaks, texture replacements, and so on. I wonder, does the engine allow to manually cycle through the available weather stages (clear sky, overcast, rain, etc) in the same way you can cycle the times of day?

No problem. I avoided buying it on sale because I didn't know about the Realism Mod and didn't want to have any overpowered weapon and vehicle handouts in the beginning of the already too easy game. Now that I know that these things can be modded to be sold by the game's weapon stores, I'll...
