Shitface's Weapon Re-Balance Mod

At least I only added one pointless weapon instead of 8. :D
  • I want remove VR weapons in next update (so in my mod will be only 6 "pointless weapons" :p).
  • Like I said in my last post, I think that new weapon what you added isn't pointless. ;)
  • I will abandon my Murderbrawl XXXI mod after update, what I will release today.
 
Hey, nice mod. Any chance you could make a version with the bloodsucker dlc re-enabled or give me intructions on how to do it myself. I don't care much about the money/respect bonuses but I'd quite like neck biting back if possible. I spent money on it afterall :p

Failing that if somebody could upload the unlockables.xbtl (i assume thats all that needs changing?) from a version before 2.1 I'd appreciate it.

edit - nvm, I think I got it. Didn't realise you could still unlock them with money (although had to do it though save editor because my level was too high)
 
This is just my opinion, but I feel like the Ultimax and Gravedigger (especially the Gravedigger, given its power) should receive the ragdoll effect that you gave the Bling in the previous update, although maybe not to the extent of the Bling (just enough to knock them to the ground, not enough to launch back 20 feet). I always find it wrong when an almost perfect shotgun blast causes a regular gang member to just stumble rather than knocking them on their ass. Maybe in order to further the gap the Bling could have its ragdoll power increased exponentially. For a while now I've been an advocate for the Bling being the base for a recreation of the Orbital Launcher from Gentlemen of the Row, so maybe this could lead to such a thing?

as for that new weapon, the invisible riot shield, I feel like it's too weak to be a successor to the Pimp Slap; it's about the same as the baseball bat or Penetrator in terms of ragdoll power. Is it possible to increase the launching ability of it to be similar to how the Penetrator works in one of the Whored Mode rounds where it can send people flying into the air? I would say the Penetrator is a better choice for a Pimp Slap successor, but given how easily obtainable it is by player and NPC alike, that idea goes out the window.
 
Unfortunately it's hard to make a melee weapon that really launches ragdolls, as the amount of force applied to a ragdoll or object by a melee weapon is tied to the animations used in melee.xtbl for some retarded reason. If I gave the riot shield weapon greater power, regular riot shields would also get that ability, which I don't want. I didn't know about that whored mode thing though, I'll see if I can re-create that somehow. Which mission is that weapon used in?
 
I'm not really sure, since I barely played Whored Mode as it is, but if memory serves the map was the Daedalus and I want to say the enemies were prostitutes

I'm pretty sure the mission was shown in several pre-release videos

EDIT: Actually, scratch that, here's footage of one right at the beginning


you can see the whores getting launched fairly high into the air
 
I am using your mod through GOS but what version is that. When i hit people with a bat they just fall to the ground. Is that the ragdoll? Also i cant find the saints pow either. Its probably just using an older version. But just making sure.
