Cold Tactical Gun Styles

Description
Ever feel like your pawns need some black rifles ready for a 90s action flick. Bringing that mid to late cold war vibe. Then this style pack is for you.

Content
This is purely a style mod for both Vanilla and VWE's industrial firearms. It can be added mid game, but will require either reforming your ideology, or DEV edits to your ideology.

To make an item in this style, whenever you manufacture an item, in the additional details, there is a pull down tab that will let you select the style.

To change an item into this style, as far as I know, you will need an additional mod to let you.

Design Philosophy
When making these icons, I was going for weapons in games like Half Life 1 or SWAT 4, as well as taking inspiration from some renditions of cyberpunk, and the upcoming game Beta Decay. Doing away with rails for a clean, sleek tactical appearance.

I did try and make the weapons look unique, but also like they fill the role they are being put into. Such as the Sniper being an AWM, and the other snipers all being vaguely 308. Or adjusting the "Lever Action"s icon to have a magazine more reflecting something like 30 carbine.

But with those choices, I know that some of the options can be somewhat cursed, like none of the bullpups are actually bullpups, ore all the lever actions aren't. My design goals was just to make weapons seem roughly like how they act, not perfectly fit the original description.

If you want to see the weapons better
I would recomend this mod to help unblur them, and this mod to zoom in more.


In closing
I hope you all like my... second attempt at making Rimworld icons. And if there are any issue let me know. I did test everything, but things can slip through the cracks.

You could just rename the firearms through the style, like if it's not a automatic pistol, call it something else. Speaking of which, what is the real world equivalent for each reskin? I would like to know.

Why thank you!

Although when it comes to something like the derringer, I would point to the lever actions or the bullpups, as none of those are lever actions or bullpups. I simply choice weapons that would match the function in "vanilla" gameplay. And a PPK is far more matched to the theme and well enough for gameplay. And if you include mods such as CE, things only get worse, looking at you AR pistol in 9mm

Hi! I love the mod. Excellent work, thank you! One small critique: The Derringer is in fact, a Walther PPK. Very cool, real-world model.. but not a Derringer, instead, a double-action auto loader.

Don't mean to seem nit-picky, thought you might care about that is all. A good example of a Derringer would be something from "Bond Arms" or any break-away pistol of that nature..

Bond is a pretty perfect example though.. their symbol is literally the same as Rimworld's lol

Hello there. As far as I am aware, as long as you are not using anything from the VWE mods beyond their def names, such as assets such as code, you don't need any permission to make retextures of them or any mod. However you are always free to ask.

To go into a bit more detail, VWE is under a CC-ND license, however you can typically make sub-mods for their work. Such as I have used their grenade belts code before to make grenade bandoleers, and one mod I like to use expands on their already quite extensive chemfuel mod. The important part to both of these is they don't take and re-upload their work. They either add onto or replace. So as long as the art assets are entirely their's to use, there should be no issues.

And if I am wrong, please someone let me know.

Hello @shazbot, I would like to ask you, did you need to ask permission to retexture weapons from the VE team mods? I'm asking because Halituis Amaricanous made Astronomy Style Pack, and he's afraid to make a retexture of VE weapons, but I wanted to help him.
