MCX Stimulus Package

Lets you rechamber the MCX for 5.56x45mm ammo, among other things.

Gives the MCX a few more options to make it a little bit more of a viable option compared to its cohorts, the most important of which is multicaliber ability since that's the big ol' trend these days.

You can now rechamber the MCX for 5.56x45mm NATO/.223 Remington by swapping out the barrel, making it a low-recoil compact head-removal machine - and allowing you to save space in the inventory by buying one gun and two barrels instead of two whole guns in different calibers.

You can also add more stuff onto the MCX, namely, stock options formerly available only to its pint-sized sister, which gives you more options for tweaking that ergo score vs. recoil reduction tradeoff and makes it a bit more competitive with the Mk.47 Mutant for the title of "semiautomatic thorax remover extraordinaire."

Which is kind of nice.

Note that this is an early release of this mod. I have a lot more for this project actively in development, but between unforseen circumstances and personal anxieties I chose to put what I already had on the website as-is in case anything happens in the future to keep me from continuing my work. Of course, it shouldn't come to that, so unless something goes horribly wrong you can expect this mod to be updated with the following sometime soon:

• 292mm (11.5") barrels in .300 AAC Blackout and .223 Remington.
• 406mm (16") barrels in .300 AAC Blackout and .223 Remington.
• Second-generation MCX Virtus, ported in from Modern Warfare 2019.
  • You can expect it to be a substantially stronger version of the MCX in exchange for a far higher price tag.

All assets shown here in this mod are repurposed vanilla assets. I own nothing. NOTHING!

Special thanks to Miralyn/LM4 for "borrowed" code and the boys over at KMC for obvious inspiration. And to you for reading this far down the mod page! Y'all are cool.

Quote from MrBlu1911

I have a bunch of mods, so there could be a conflict. For example. The M16A4 mod is incompatible with the "AllTradersSellCheapIttems"; true setting in Erish's AIO mod. As a result, I don't run the M16A4 mod, even though it gives me a bit of nostalgia regarding my time as an infantryman....but I digress.

Anyways. It's a "you can't interact with anything" busy hands. If you want, I can try to reproduce it and send you a video of it so you can see what I'm talking about.

Here is a screen cap of all the mods I'm currently using.

No need, I was able to reproduce on my own and patch it, though the way in which I had to patch it leaves me unable to give the AK-15 its own firing noises... which is less than desirable. Ouch. Try it again now, it should be good.

As for the M16A4 mod... that's really strange. No idea what the issue could possibly be since I don't use AIO, but I'll let Mira know to investigate it whenever she has a chance. Thank you for the heads-up on all of this, by the way.

Super dirty internal plumbing fix for the AK-15. It should work properly now.

Quote from MrBlu1911

AK15 makes no sounds of any kind (reloading, inspect, shooting, etc. are all muted) and gets a "hands are busy" bug after adding a weapon mod (did it with a light and a forward grip) in a raid.

AK12 seemed to work just fine. I didn't test everything, but it made sounds and didn't get a "hands busy" bug after adding/removing a weapon mod in a raid.

I did both tests with a brand new and unmodded version of both. They didn't even have any ammo.

Are you fucking serious.

I'm not in a place where I can test this myself, so I'm assuming based off your post that this is something you can reproduce, which is infuriating - I was getting the soundless AK-15 bug earlier and assumed it was a result of me trying to change the firing noises, which clearly seems to be wrong (lmao). I think something is fucked up with its weapon container/root, but I have no idea what it is.

In case it's a conflict, though, could you tell me what other mods (if any) you have running, and what you mean by "hands are busy" bug? Do you mean the bug you get sometimes when searching a container that leaves you unable to interact with anything in the world or open context menus with right click, or the bug that you used to get where your viewmodel freezes and leaves you unable to do literally anything? Thanks.

Kalashnikov Duet 1.0.3.1

Added new textures courtesy of Mira! These are versions slightly similar to the ones in her standalone retexture, except they're older versions where the handguard was slightly different and the barrel white was still, well, white.

Overall, this should make the gun look a lot more metal-y and make the polymer parts fit better with each other - or, as Mira put it, this should make the gun look a bit less buttery. Which is quite welcome. :p

I don't have time to update the preview images right now,…

I don't have time to update the preview images right now, so if you want to take a peek at the new look sported by the AK-12 and AK-15, I recommend you check out Mira's standalone retexture mod, which is linked above.

    • Armor-piercing ammunition such as the Barnes VOR-TX and IOP HV rounds will cause faster durability burn, and specialty match ammunition such as the Spark REX2 and Hornady BLACK A-MAX will cause less fast durability burn.
  • Ammunition has had its localization changed to match changes made to ammo localization in 12.11.
    • This only applies to the ENG localization (read: the default one) of this mod, unfortunately.
• Ammunition types now have correctly-defined bleed chances.
  • Yes, this means you can do the legmunch strat with the SIG MCX now, though why you would want to do such a thing is beyond me.
• Hornady BLACK V-MAX ammunition has had its stat block adjusted.
  • Hornady BLACK V-MAX performs the same against flesh, but its terminal ballistics against armor have been "inverted" - rather than dealing high damage on target but leaving armor mostly intact, V-MAX ammo will now deal low damage on target but rapidly deplete armor.
  • This was done to make V-MAX usable as a "budget" alternative to dedicated armor-piercing rounds such as Barnes VOR-TX and IOP HV, albeit one that only works when paired with fully-automatic fire.
• Sale prices of weapons, ammunition types, and weapon parts have all been adjusted to be slightly less insane.

  • Weapon now properly appears as if it's stainless steel/nickel and not painted/rattlecanned gunmetal.
  • Dust cover on ST AR-15 upper now correctly bears an American flag insignia.
  • Weapon itself now correctly uses a Spikes' Tactical competition bolt carrier group.
  • ST BAR-3 handguard has been almost completely redone.
    • It no longer shines like it was dipped in a vat of lube and fried in a pottery kiln.
    • So that's cool.
• Weapon now has much beefier firing noises to better sell the idea of this being a sniper rifle simply masquerading as a carbine.

• Adjusted balance of a few different weapon parts.
  • Minor stat changes to a couple of weapon components.
  • Stats of QHB suppressor and Trash Panda suppressor adjusted to reflect changes made to suppressors in 12.11.
  • Both barrels have had their base accuracy nerfed somewhat.
    • This was done to ensure that having this mod would not make the SIG MCX entirely irrelevant. While the QHB still reigns supreme when it comes to plinking at a distance on account of being able to get under 2 MOA with proper modding, it now no longer outpaces the MCX quite as hard.
    • It's still a direct upgrade to the MCX, mind you. It's just that now the MCX is slightly more viable as a budget alternative to this gun.
• Weapon now has new animations!
  • This wasn't supposed to happen at all, but I like how it came out, so I'm keeping it anyway.
  • Weapon now has a unique inspect animation, and a variant magazine insert animation for lower mastery levels.
• Fixed clipping issue with Cherry Bomb compensators.
• Removed Herobrine.

Quote from Req

Not at all. I just experimented around to try to find out how the "residual damage" was calculated. Then I just reported the findings here. No need to get defensive.

btw, increasing health pool does not solve any problem. It will get the blacked out percentage post-raid residual damage as well, depleting the meds and/or roubles faster lol.

Sorry about that. As you can plainly tell, I am not very good at making it clear when I'm confused instead of defensive when typing messages on the internet. Ouch.

The weirdest thing is that I left a raid with a blacked arm and this glitch went away completely. Maybe that's another clue as to how 1.6.0's "residual damage" calculations are goofed up?

Quote from carl makes mods

Unless you're trying to say that the health issue could be "solved" by simply raising the amount of health you have when blacked out to full health, I don't see what this accomplishes.

Oh, this reminds me. I'm getting the same problem as you guys with respect to health, but I've also noticed that if I actually do die in a raid I get put back in the menu with full health instead of being blacked out.

It's kind of weird, like some opposite day-type shit. Dying in a raid restores you to full health, leaving a raid with full health puts you on your deathbed. Whoever started calling it the dumpster fire update wasn't far off the mark...

Quote from Req

Actually, the health parameters are stuck at the level of "most damaged" through out all the raids you've been through, for each body parts separately. Since the "most damaged" you can get is blacked out, the body parts will be shown as that way in the post-raid screen.

Why do you find making this distinction necessary? Unless you're trying to say that the health issue could be "solved" by simply raising the amount of health you have when blacked out to full health, I don't see what this accomplishes.

Carl's SCAR-H "Improvements"

Makes the SCAR-H's textures match the vanilla Tarkov artstyle a little better.

carl makes mods

Jun 26th 2021

REQUIRES SAMSWAT'S SCAR-H MOD. FUCKING DUH.

Sam's SCAR is finally here and it's every bit as excellent as we've all been hoping it would be! ...except the textures leave much to be desired. Very much, even, if you're someone who gets autistic about textures like I do lol.

The gloss/roughness maps are set up in an incredibly wonky way that makes it look as if the gun has been freshly oiled, and this combined with some normalmap goofiness results in the weapon having this weird sheen that makes it look like it's made of freshly-lubricated silicone. Now, I dunno about you, but I don't think having a gun reflect light the same way a recently-used dildo does fits the Tarkov art style very well, does it?

This mod adjusts the normalmap axes to be less wacky, tones down the shininess and reflectivity back to sane levels, and adds a bit more variation to the diffuse textures to match the way Tarkov portrays wear on weaponry. Both weapons now have more realistic hues and overall, at least in my opinion, look much more natural in Tarkov. Again, only my opinion though, so I'd recommend you still make the final call for yourself.

Instructions:

Replace the original /SamSWAT-SCARH/bundles/assets/content/weapons/scar-h/textures/mk17mod0_textures.bundle with the one in this mod's .zip file. You should probably back up the original mk17mod0_textures.bundle to somewhere safe on your computer just in case you don't like the way the new textures look, however. Always good practice.

Previews:

As you can see, the tan SCAR is now a lot less gross! Woo! As for the black SCAR, well, the improvements aren't quite as obvious and frankly I do not blame you if you like the way the original looks better. The tan SCAR may be much better but the black one, eh. I dunno.

Emergency hotfix for AKI 1.5.1.

Quote from RagnarTheRagnar

Howdy! I updated to V1.5.0 and got an error from this mod. Or it looks like its more related to the compatibility script for QHB that attempts to run for the expansion.

That's not relevant to this mod so I'd suggest you put it in the QHB's thread next time something like this happens. As for a fix, off the top of my head you should be able to change line 61 from ModLoader.onPostLoad[thingy] = QHBCompat.compatEXP; to ModLoader.onLoad[thingy] = QHBCompat.compatEXP; to make it work again.

Known "Issue" -

• New attachments lack Russian localization and will default to English. This is because I can't actually write in anything other than English and all non-English localization in my mods is done by volunteers on their own time.

A small few changes for some small mistakes. Shouldn't have taken this long, but it did. Whoops...

• Thread space on barrels is now FAR less visible when using the default muzzle devices.
  • Turns out I fucked up the bundle offsets and made muzzles mount way too far forward. Muzzles now mount to correct positions.
• AK-15 now uses AK-74 mastery. Yes, it feels wrong, but apparently the AK-103 uses AK-74 mastery so doing this is right. Somehow.

Lets you put folding stocks on AKs that normally wouldn't be able to take them. You can now put skeletal triangle stocks on the Saiga, AR-15 stocks on the AKS-74/AKS-74U, and all that good stuff or something.

Advanced Custom Weapons probably already does this, or at least, it should. Don't install if you're already using that or something.
