ARC9 Weapon Base

"The conqueror is always a lover of peace; he would prefer to take over our country unopposed."

Once upon a time, when I had barely just started playing Garry's Mod, I dreamed about a weapon base that would truly allow for weapons like nothing else. In 2015, I lacked the skills to make this a reality. After a year in development, I am pleased to report that that is no longer the case.

New ARC9 features:
- Recoil patterns
- Physical Visual Recoil
- Free Aim
- Free Sway
- Sub-Attachments
- Leaning (+ Autolean)
- Looping Firing Sounds
- Third-Person Inverse Kinematics (Other players can see your animations)
- Improved RT scopes
- Dynamic camo support
- CS:GO-like sticker system
- Full controller support
- Dynamic selecticon/killicon/preset icon generation
- Exportable presets
- Full multiplayer prediction
- Dynamic stat handling
- Hints in HUD
- Bulk attachment Lua support
- Quick grenade throwing

And if these aren't enough to sway you, the following features make a return from ArcCW, with massive improvements:

- Cheap RT scopes
- Thermal/NV/Smart optics
- Jamming system
- Overheat system
- Bipod system
- Riot shield system
- Physical bullets
- Universal underbarrel weapon system
- Bullet ricochet
- Grenade support
- Melee support (With lunge)
- Manual action system (Option to press R to cycle shotguns)
- Sight auto-solver (Now more reliable)
- Multi-function laser/light modules
- Full NPC support
- Localization support
- Multiple sight support
- Attachment inventory
- Preset saves (With icon)
- Preset autosave
- Give weapons to NPCs
- Weapon attachments, lasers, scopes, red dot sights, suppressors, etc.


Q: How can I get started with development?
A: Join Diamond Doves! We have plenty of developers who can help, and Arctic is very active there. You can also check the Github repository: https://github.com/HaodongMo/ARC-9
If you just want to make stickers, try this: https://github.com/HaodongMo/ARC9-Sticker-Pack-Maker/releases

Q: Where are my attachments?
A: Make sure Free Attachments is on by either entering your ARC9 settings menu or typing "arc9_atts_free 1" into console.

Q: Where can I get workshop asset templates?
A: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gCtsCNRHjSNX69vg7m5YEyVhMSf8NbOp?usp=share_link

Q: Are ArcCW weapons compatible with this?
A: No. ArcCW will coexist with ARC9 but will not work with it. You should also not enable both bases' NPC features at the same time.

Q: Why should I use this over ArcCW? Why couldn't you keep updating that? Is ArcCW dead?
A: It's better designed, better networked, and more sustainable in the long run. I haven't personally been updating ArcCW for a long time.

Q: Can I manually lean?
A: Absolutely! Just bind +alt1 and +alt2.

Q: Where are the weapons?
A: This is a base only. Check the workshop for ARC9 weapon packs.

Q: Can I blacklist attachments from being used?
A: Yes. Go to ARC9 settings (Through button in weapon customization menu or through spawn menu), click on Attachments tab and press Open blacklist. Click on attachments you don't like and hit Save!

Q: My attachments immediately remove themselves!
A: You have a poorly coded ARC9 addon that is messing with your game. Do "arc9_reloadatts" in console to help identify the culprit, then uninstall and complain at them to fix it. Probably report it for incompatibility too.

Q: Can I change my keybinds?
A: Yes! You can bind +arc9_melee, +arc9_ubgl, +arc9_inspect, and +arc9_switchsights to use one key for these combo actions.

Q: Is there a way to see controls?
A: Yes! Make sure your HUD is enabled, and the controls will be displayed on the side of your screen.
