A full year and 14 days later, I got it:

Okay good news for anyone intrested, I'm playing around with it right now, but using [K4G] Retexure's mod as a base, it seems like I can make this work again.

Give me time but I think I can sorta remake this mod. Or rather make it so you can use these textures again.

I hope someone picks this mod up again, the weapon designs were brilliant.

too bad I really liked this

Well by look at the comments I think I found the mod that's causing the issues.
Man that sucks, I like the looks of this mod gives the weapons. It feels that perfect western movie, sci-fi, but not going too far into either one so it can feel like its own thing when it wants to. Which for how I play, is peak RimWorld.
If anyone, including the author (Who stated they're working on their own game), ends up making a port, let me know. I will be the first to download it.

This mod will make your weapons invisible if you try to use it as is in 1.4. Just a heads up to anyone wanting info on if this mod works

Please update to 1.4

Thanks for the info PAD, but hopefully you will get some free time and work on updating this. Cause this is the best vanilla weapon retexture, peace out my man.

Hi everyone! I don't recommend using this mod as I have not updated it for 2 years now. I'm currently making my own game atm so I might not be able to update it. Thank you!

Need help. when i turn this mod on some of my pawns are invinsible when starting the game.

Wow that bolt action version looks bad ass af and so modern! Really sweet

Is there a standalone version?

Since this mod is reported working in 1.3 I've added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692
Hope it helps!

@Seigneur Piplup du Quebec it doesn't need to be updated it works just fine. Just ignore the error message that it gives saying it doesn't match the game version

This mod will never get updated is it

Tested and works on 1.3

Man these retextures are amazing. We seriously need a 1.2 support. Unless it is not needed really. Is it?

based

+1 for the Xpath patching request of @Dr Zhivago please.
These textures look too nice to be abandoned.

If you ever decide to update this mod, please do not overwrite Vanilla base code. It's destructive and causes undesirable behavior with other mods. Textures can overwrite by using folder pathing alone. Xpath is also a way to get around destructive overwrites.

This is fucking sick dude! Keep up the great work!

Will you be upgrading to 1.2?

I'm assuming this works fine on 1.2 seeing as these are mainly textures?

1.2?

more tactical rimworld lol

@Silent service thanks! I might add thicker lines when I have the time.

@Martino thanks! I tried creating a compatible patch for "Guards for me" before but the code is just too complicated and I got little time now to continue it. sorry :(

@emir the turkish ambassador Unfortunately I have new priorities now :( maybe in the future when I have free time. thanks!

This is wishful thinking, but I would love to see this similar near-future aesthetic done for Vanilla Weapons expanded!

I really love the artwork and how the weapons are drawn on the colonists.. but i don't think it's compatible with the mod "Guards for me", when I enable this mod the guards stop showing their guns and just stand there with their gun holstered, it would reeally make me happy if you could look into it.. please? :(

great artwork, but the guns need thicker Outlines, even with zoom mod they can barely be seen

lol, aint that the truth :)

@glenninjapan thanks! :) just follow your heart desires we only live once bro :D but then again we need to work to earn money and we need money to live soo nvm lol

Awesome Textures, they remind me of the weapons from Xenonauts , now I want to start playing that again too lol. Dam it, back to work tomorrow too, wonder if I can pull a sickie lol

@Sleepy Bella thanks! :)

@Mage of Fables yes it is! just make sure to place this mod below Vanilla Textures Expanded or any mods that also replaces the Vanilla weapon textures in the load order.

Out of curiosity, is this mob compatible with Vanilla Textures Expanded?

I love how the guns holster to your pawn's back. Great mod! I wish all weapon mods did that. I never realized how necessary it was until now.

Thanks! :) I'll be adding more guns soon!

cool, well drawn. a bit uniform tho

UPDATE: Here's the Vanilla Armor Retexture link: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2109725521

@kevin_1248 thanks! :)

cool

@John Canavi no problem! :) Enjoy!

Yeah, that was it. Sorry. I'm a dumb fox. :<

@John Canavi did you put it below other mods that also replaces the Vanilla weapon textures in the load order? Try putting it below all other mods.

Oddly enough, the weapon textures don't change except for when they're holstered.

@Forbidden Powdered Donut thanks for the feedback! I might make a retexture out of the guns you mentioned to make them a little ordinary and just make additional charged weapons. Thanks!

I love the look of these weapons, but they look to out of the ordinary for me to use. Mainly the fact that it has the "Charged" look of the pistols and most of the other weapons. I really like the look of the Heavy SMG though.

Thank you! :)

fuck yeah

wow these look sick!
