More Melee Features addon

More Melee Features Mod For S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Anomaly Adds Four New Features to the Melee of Anomaly

Actual Durability Loss Per Hit, Usable Shovels, Hitstop-Slowmo & Melee Blocking!

Get your shovels ready and keep an eye on your durability!!

A Major Component Made by Utjan
In current anomaly you only lose weapon durability from skinning. A script by Utjan uses ray-casting to tell if your swing contacts anything and you lose differing durability amounts depending on what you contact with.
Different Loss Rates Set Per Individual Melee Weapon.

Fully customizable in MCM
Can be installed on its own

Allows you to use the "lower weapon" hotkey to raise your melee weapon in front of you, blocking most of damage from mutant & melee hits.
Currently Scales Far Too Well With Your Armor

Axe:

The 3 anomaly axes have been cut down to only 1 axe. Obtainable from T1 of the less formal faction traders. The axe loses durability at a medium rate and can be repaired with sharpening stones. It is fairly strong and can kill most helmet-less enemies with one heavy swing to the head. Has 3 light attack variants(1 unique), 1 heavy

Sledge-Hammer:

Slightly stronger axe, can stun enemies although most unarmored enemies wont survive a heavy swing anywhere. Loses durability very slowly but cannot be repaired. Obtainable from T3 of most less formal factions.

Shovels:

The junk item shovels you can find around the map in breakable boxes etc are now usable as melee, along with a new version, the Sharpened Shovel. All shovels lose durability very fast and can not be repaired. Both the Old & Military shovels can be right clicked to sharpen them into a sharpened shovel as long as you have a sharpening stone of at least 3 uses in your inventory. The Sharpened Shovel still can not be repaired, loses durability just as fast but does the same damage as the axe. Has 3 light attack variants(1 unique), 1 heavy

WPO Github Link: Github.com

Disable my other axe animation mod if using this, it already contains it as that was always meant to be the standalone animation version of this

Animation Scripts

This mod contains common animation scripts that a lot of other mods use as well

These scripts are updated all the time so sometimes youll have mods with out dated versions in your install

This addon is currently shipping with the latest versions so loading it last will be fine but

I do highly recommend you remove them from most mods & make these scripts their own addon in MO2

Update them yourself from the github to make sure you always have the latest.

These common animation scripts by Aoldri can be found here:
