Hello,
I noticed in videos of the mod that the default pistol reload has the same animation whether a round is chambered (for example, 9 rounds is 8 rounds in the mag and 1 is in the chamber, 2 rounds is 1 round in mag and 1 in chamber, etc.) or not. That is, the slide always retracts back. Are you able to not only make different animations for empty chamber and non-empty reloads (reloading the gun without pulling back the slide), but also add the chambered round mechanic (reloading a mag with rounds still in and replacing it with a full mag would make 11 total rounds)?
A Half-Life 2 mod called Swelter has this mechanic.
Thank you.
The hope is to over time yes!
Hello, feel free to look up the code at Swelter GitHub repo:

And Happy New Year!

So how is the updates done? there are animation updates script updates ect. Like if I download this file HLA-NoVR-25thAnniversaryUpdate.zip? does that include all the updates already or do I have to go download them again? if I miss a update do I need to download the one I missed and the new one as do the new one have all the updates all the others has? so many questions with this update system.
latest update (this one) is enough, no need to download older updates. copy contents of HLA-NoVR-main folder to your Alyx folder.

I don't know why but when I start the game, the menu disappears and appears and doesn't let me press anything
With this update my upgrades from weapons are disappearing.

Reflex sight is incredibly glitchy, it makes the gun disappear
this update is a total mess...
With this update, now the game crashes randomly, something that didn't happen before :`(
why don't you write that we need the original Alyx game? What do you think I am, a telepath? Poor dev
I'll answer a question with another question: Why would you think this download would contain a game?
hahaha it's clear that the original game is needed, anim@l!
