Hey all,



Im new to the sr2 modscene so a quicky intro; im Olivier from the Netherlands, 25 years old, have a job as webdeveloper & love to mod games in my spare time.



Because i was always more of a gta-fan/saints row/true crime hater im ashamed to say i only recently got SR2 on the steam sale. It turns out to be much more fun then i imagined, tho i can never stop myself wanting to mod games, as with this game.

This is my first mod (if u can even call it a mod) It took roughly 8 hours to make & tweak to something usable.



Result:





Requirements:

- Saints Row 2 (duh)

- Understanding how to add this to your patch.vpp_pc (read this)



Whats different?

- Changed to shoot like a shotgun, but sprays bullets wider than any shotgun.

- Drastically increased range, because we wanna zap whole streets of ppl at a time!

- Does more damage to npcs (mostly kills) and very little damage to player.

- If the above isn't powerfull enough, think times 2, it allows for dual wield



Pros:

- Take down whole groups of ppl at once

- Or (filled) gang cars without blowing up the car

- Also very effective against breakable props (due to the shower of bullets im sure)

- Seems to work fine in coop (hosted or not)



Cons:

- You don't wanna shoot it near your player (loads of impact dust = lag)

- Although i did manage to make it hardly damage cars, it pops tires & damages surroundings like crazy

- Because its so powerful & unlimited its easy to power-trip and kill everything in sight, you are warned.



Using the mod:

If you DONT have GOTR or other weapon mods:

1. If you dont have it yet you need to extract the file weapons.xtbl from common.vpp_pc


2. Open it with your favorite text editor


3. Replace line 3414 to 3515 with this code: sr2.pastebin.com/Q54BLfgR (just copy from comment box)


4. Save & use it to create your new patch.vpp_pc

If you DO have GOTR 1.9 Beta 7a or other weapon mods:

1. Open the weapons.xtbl file with your fav text editor


2. Replace the entire stungun <weapon>..</weapon> block (in a standard GOTR 1.9 b 7a replace line 3470 to 3570) with this code: sr2.pastebin.com/Q54BLfgR (just copy from comment box)


3. Save & use it to create your new patch.vpp_pc

Comment on the mod:

Please feel free to comment! (and yea, like the cons show i know its a bit to powerfull, feel free to edit to your personal liking and report back here what you changed)

Let me know if u like to see more 'remixed weapons'!

Haha awesome!

And thx for the heads up on non-GOTR, will edit the first post :D

Oh and another small personal note, re-reading my first post, i noticed i never even mentioned how happyly surprized i was with SR2, my view on it did a backflip, i actually maybe like SR2 more then gtaIV now (i see way more modding potential in SR2! and gtaIV, even with the episodes, its just not gta!)

Guess theres no interest (is it to obvious of a 'my first mod')?

Good point, i actually thought i already added this tbh, but appearantlly i didnt even upload it yet.
