Realistic Weapon Behavior 1.9

(2 reviews)

This replaces the default Pistol, Combat Pistol, Taser, Carbine Rifle, Pump Shotgun, and SMG animations with tactical ones and includes new idle and running animations. The magazine sizes for Pistol and Combat Pistol increased to 17. The pump shotgun shell slot was decreased from 8 to 5. This edited meta also changes specific rifle firing modes, including the Carbine full auto to semi-auto. You can use both the ADS and tactical grip within this modification. This modification also changes the flashlight distance, including the attachments, allowing the light to bounce and illuminate more accurately. You can now fire rifles, submachine guns, and pump-action shotguns while inside vehicles. The modification corrects the behavior of the NPCs, preventing them from attacking or fleeing when the fire extinguisher is used.

I suggest using the first-person flashlight texture if you prefer having the flashlight centered, as the game has an issue lining up the flashlight with the reticle.

Known Bugs

Flashlights Do Not Line Up With Reticle (If Running Third Person Flashlight Overhaul Texture)

The modified weapon metadata was configured and tested for use with custom weapons in GTA 5. Using unmodified "vanilla" weapons may result in compatibility problems.

Backup your files!

1)

Drag and drop weaponanimations.meta, weaponcomponents.meta, and weapons.meta from this download in Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\ai

2)

Additionally, you may install Flashlight Overhaul's flashlight texture in update/update.rpf/x64/textures/graphics.ytd

3)

Lastly, you will need to disable Flashlight Override in the lspdfr.ini - to do this set Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride = true to false

If you run into technical issues, please use the comment section. Thank you.

Modifications I recommend while running this modification:

Spoiler

Flashlight Overhaul is only required if you want the first-person or third-person texture from the flashlight overhaul.

Flashlight Overhaul

Modification credits:

Spoiler

ChrisPy - weapon fov and semi-auto settings used in weapons.meta
Dwardo225 - weapon rate of fire settings used in weapons.meta and weaponanimations.meta
FKDZ - flashlight and attachment settings used in weaponcomponents.meta
Razer - original weaponcomponents.meta created with Natural Vision later converted to FKDZ's edited version
trash8 - idle, running, and weapon animations used in weapons.meta and weaponanimations.meta
andy22296 - fire extinguisher settings used in weapons.meta

I take no credit for making these meta files but rather for compiling them together so we can use the flashlight overhaul, rate of fire, tactical grip, and fire extinguisher fix modifications together. My edited version of the weapon meta contains animations for weapons such as the Pump Shotgun, SMG, and taser that are not included in the tactical grip modification. Most of these modifications require you to edit the meta files yourself, so I decided to do it for you. Enjoy! ~ Joe C Wilson.

If your ADS in first person is broken when running LSPDFR you must set Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride = true to false.

To ensure this is working properly, make sure Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride = true is set to false.

Well done with the fire extinguisher! So annoying that. How’d you manage that?

could you possibly make your mod compatible with Hanako NPC Style Cover Animations 2.0?

My file exclusively deals with weapons, so it will require additional work as it contains its own set of animations. This file already incorporates weapon animations by trash8.

Remove the line OnlyFireOneShotPerTriggerPress from weapons.meta.

I removed the semi-auto from the SMG due to it causing the gun to not function correctly. However, the SMG still features new animations for the tactical grip and the ability to fire from vehicles. If you downloaded version 1.5, please update to the latest version to resolve this issue. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I forgot to re-add the ability to shoot the shotgun from a vehicle as I edited the metas from scratch. 1.6 will be the final update for the modification.

Hey. I'm having trouble figuring out how to download this mod, since I have the Epic Games version rather than the Steam version. What files should I use in this case?

GTA 5 uses the same types of files even if it's sold somewhere else. Just drag and drop all of the files into the mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\ai folder. You would also have to disable Flashlight Override in the lspdfr.ini - to do this set Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride = true to false.

Please restore the vanilla files in your game and reinstall the mod. A third-party mod may conflict with it.

This mod doesn't force you to use the first-person camera to shoot. You may have a mod like Weapon Control that conflicts with the mod.

If you're having trouble hitting your targets in the first-person view, I've adjusted the settings accordingly. For your information, RWB is tested using custom weapon models. Be sure to use custom mods such as Markoo's AR-15, ApeXMax's MP5, Jridah's Remington 870 and Beretta M9, the Taser X26, FluffyPlays22's Glock 17, or similar models. The specific models don't matter, but make sure the attachments are close matches.

Hello! I seem to be having an issue where when I go to draw any gun, the animation gets stuck. The animation just repeatedly does the weapon draw animation at the front of the waist. I then cannot do anything with my weapon wheel and my character is stuck in the animation as I run around.

Edit: I went on and reinstalled the mod and that fixed it!

Could you let me know what you changed in the .meta file to get the tilted lean (screenshot for reference).

Trying to do this to some other weapons but can't figure it out.

Thanks! 🙂

I think I changed first person lt offset, first person lt rotation offset, first person as third person rng offset, and first person as third person lt offset. Each number in all of the offsets I mentioned should be the same. You could copy and paste each offset with the weapon you are trying to edit. I hope this helps.

In the weapons.meta file you should see a section under the gun you want to edit that is labelled AttachPoints. From there, you will have different options to disable clip, flsh, scope, supp, grip, and so on. Just enable or disable which of the listed options you want.

You will need to change Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride from true to false. If you are still having issues, I can take a look further. I was in a bike accident last night, so I will appreciate extra time looking into this issue. Thanks.
