The G36 Pack  

DESCRIPTION

The G36 Pack.
This pack includes high-quality REPLACERS of the G36, adding the classic G36, G36K, G36C and G36L.
All variants can be found the same way as in vanilla, G36 will be the most common, G36K is a bit rarer and G36C is even rarer. Meanwhile, the G36L is only obtainable from Nimble.
The idea of this pack is to make the G36 great, as well as give it as many variants as it can have, for everybody.

Don't like the G36? You can still use the others. Want a G36 that accepts NATO scopes? Use the G36K or G36C. Want a smaller assault rifle that is perfect for urban and close-quarter combat? G36C is your best friend.
Everything goes, for everybody.

INSTALLATION

Simply extract the "gamedata" to your main Anomaly folder.

PATCHES/ADDONS INFORMATION

- EFT-Style Reposition Patch. Uses EFT-Style position instead of the original vanilla.
- New G36 Scope. Changes the scope to another one that is taken from the 3D Model of the new G36 itself.
- NPC & Trader Files. Adds all the G36 (except G36L) variants to NPCs and Traders. [This is a separate thing to avoid conflicts with other mods]

DETAILS

Model-wise:
* New models of the G36, G36K, G36C and G36L for the vanilla Anomaly's G36, G36 Camo, G36K and G36 Nimble respectively.
* G36 itself is of much higher quality, the holes are no longer opaque, smoothing is much better and the polycount is higher but not severe (about 10.000 tris)
* G36K is the same, uses the classic G36K ironsights, which has Picatinny Rails in it, hence allowing to attach scopes.
* G36C is the smallest version of the G36 pack, using ironsights that the Lithuanian Army would use, which is much slimmer and smaller in size than the original. Also has the ability to attach scopes.
* G36L is the unique variant, only obtainable from Nimble, uses an "L" variant of the handguard and has KAC ironsights. Due to the presence of Picatinny Rails on the handguard, it is able to mount an M203.

Texture-wise:
* All textures at 2048x2048, some lower due to coming as such but still at good quality, without compression artifacts and a proper Normal & Specular map.
* Each model uses separate textures of up to 3; main (receiver), handguard and ironsights. This is admittedly a bit detrimental, but it is made so to keep the texture quality at high and separate between weapon parts.
* The G36L has tritium sights, the rear is less bright than the front to emphasize on the contrast, further making it more practical.
* New icons for each variant, using a method that heavily emphasizes on the specular, hence showing the details when at direct light.
* [OPTIONAL] New scope texture for the G36, made from the 3D model and textured to be 2D.

Balance-wise
* The G36 is now able to use both scopes; the red dot or the 3x scope.
The G36 has been changed a bit to act like a faux-sniper rifle, due to the presence of the 3x scope and the long barrel.
Unlike the original, it is no longer able to have an M203 attached to it, instead, (UPCOMING NEXT UPDATE) it uses its own AG36.

* The "G36 (Camo)" is now a G36K instead, with ironsights, being able to mount scopes.
This one can be used as any other average 5.56 assault rifle.
It has slightly worse accuracy overall and recoil on first shot, but slightly better handling.

* The "G36k" is now a G36C instead, with slimmer ironsights, being able to mount scopes.
This one can be considered the AKSU of the NATO if you'd like.
It has the worst accuracy and recoil of all the other variants, but compensates for amazing handling and better full-auto fire control, great weapon in Close-Quarters Urban warfare.

* Nimble's unique variant of the G36 is a G36L, nicknamed "F34R". Lithuanian-made G36 with the functionality of a G36K and the practicality (weight and handling) of a G36C, as well as having the ability to mount a M203 due to the picatinny rails that it has.

* [OPTIONAL] If using "NPC & Trader Files", NPCs will have a chance to use one of the G36 variants and Traders sell some depending on disposition. More info below.
(PLEASE NOTE! Some other factions might have a G36, either because by default they have it so in Vanilla, like the ecologs, or they took it from another's corpse, like the bandits)
