DESCRIPTION

Saiga-12K Remodel/Replacer & Rebalance.
This is a mod that replaces the original DayZ Saiga-12 with a Saiga-12K made by a guy who goes by the nickname "cakes".
Originally in some game called HV3R, the author has given me the weapon himself to make a whole new texture (specifically, "Blackgrowl") and add it into the game.
So yeah, the model is made by a professional while the texture is also made by a professional. If that doesn't go with you, then that's on you.
High-quality made model with high-quality handmade textures.

I'd like to give thanks to "cakes" himself for providing me this model and even taking his own time to give me amazing modeling tips and the like.
I'd like to give thanks to "LVutner" for help provided, specifically with the normal map, it was driving me crazy and draining my motivation until it was fixed.

INSTALLATION
___________

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

___________
PATCHES/ADDONS INFORMATION
___________

- Blindside's Animations Addon. Makes the weapon use Blindside's Animations, recommended since it has a proper unjam animation.
No need to install Blindside's Animations. Recommended to install last if you have Blindside's Animations, though.
- EFT-Style Reposition Patch. Uses EFT-Style position instead of the original vanilla. (Make sure to have Blindside's Animatios addon installed FIRST when using this)
- "NO-STAL-GIA" Skin. Changes the brown plastic to a dark dull green and the metal is lighter. Perfect for those that miss the texture style of ShoC.

DETAILS
___________

Graphics-wise:
* New Model made by "cakes", first made for HV3R then redid in his free time to add more detail to the model, such as an intricate fully modeled bolt.

Texture-wise:
* All newly handmade textures in 2048x2048 resolution made by "Blackgrowl", without compression artifacts and a proper Normal & Specular map.
There is an attention to detail, you can see it on the worn and the fingerprints.

Balance-wise:
* The weapon now has semi-auto and full-auto functions.
* The Magazine is now at 12 rounds and uses the proper magazine model.
* Recoil has been slightly increased.
* Fire-rate is lower, to compensate the fact it has a full-auto now.
* Removed a balance-breaking function in the weapon that made it so the first shot was incredibly powerful.
* Damage has been lowered a tiny bit, it can still take out mutants one-shot at point-blank distance.

COMPATIBILITY
___________

Anything that changes "wpn_saiga.ltx" is not compatible.
