[GM++] HL2 Weapon Reskin/Replacement Compatibility

This is a module for GM++. It will not work without it.

With GM++ installed, Half-Life 2 weapons are positioned differently on the screen to make things more uniform, and the ironsights can now be used! But installing HL2 weapon reskins or full weapon replacement packs will change the weapon models—this can cause weapons to appear in different positions, and cause the ironsights to no longer line up. Replacement packs also usually introduce new functionality that changes how the weapons work, and may conflict with GM++.

In short, this compatibility module adds support for a selection of weapon reskins and weapon replacement packs to GM++, so that the aforementioned features continue to work properly. Weapon replacement packs will also have any custom features updated to work better with GM++ if necessary.

This module supports weapon reskins and full weapon replacement packs.

Reskins are new models or animations applied on the Half-Life 2 weapons. They can be installed from the Workshop, or downloaded from somewhere like GameBanana and installed manually. Support for these is done per weapon, and does not rely on any specific pack to be installed: whatever the game ends up using is what GM++ will detect, and apply its ironsight offsets and other changes as needed.

A replacement pack is something like the popular MMod Redux pack, where it adds ironsight support, inspect animations, etc. Support for these packs is done using the Workshop ID, so you must be subscribed to the addon in order for GM++ to detect it.

This module also allows installing individual skins from a supported replacement pack. You won't get any of the features of the replacement pack, but the ironsights and other offsets should still be applied. And, if any other unsupported replacement packs use the same reskins, weapon offsets and ironsights will be corrected, though any advanced functionality provided by the pack will not be integrated into GM++, and may cause conflicts.

NOTE: You can only install one replacement pack at a time! The module will not load if you do.


These packs all use similar code, and all their features are supported. If you prefer the custom MMod ironsights, this and more can be toggled in the new MMod Weapon Replacement heading under the GM++ > Community Content module. You can also disable the walk/sprint clothing foley sounds, which many people found annoying.

A: Yes. Provide a link to the reskin or pack you want supported in the support thread.

The reskin or pack must have a substantial amount of use (think 10k+ current subscribers or even more views) before it will be considered.

A: In the future, it may be possible to add your own compatibility for your pack or reskin. But currently, it isn't (easily) possible.

SWEPs, however, can easily have compatibility added. Reach out if you're interested in this.
