SR15 Rifle addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I wanted a new AR-15 style rifle in the game but without the big leupold mark 4 scope on the SR25. So I spent a few days working on this.

This is a kitbashed model using parts and textures from CW_wp

Moddb.com

onto the SR25 to assemble a modern AR15 style rifle in 5.56. So I didn't do any real 3d modelling work, and its really just a tweaked SR25 model with a new sight and magazine and a shorter receiver. Credits to CW_wp for HAMR, magazine and stock assets. Not sure about how mod licenses work (especially with these assets) so I will delete this if there are issues.

The reflex sight on top of the HAMR scope is functional*. You do not need to do anything with attachments to use both the HAMR scope and the reflex sight, you just need to press 'V' or whatever key you have bound to use grenade launcher to switch.

*slightly buggy

Updates

v1.3 - reduced horizontal recoil due to actor_effects.ltx causing recoil to work correctly

v1.2 - add xm8 and sr15 to actor_effects.ltx to correctly introduce weapon bouncing behavior like other weapons

v1.1 - added an alternate mesh that removes the grips on the side of the handguard.

v1 - initial commit

Details

It's called SR15 LPR, but it's really a mishmash of different guns.

This addon includes both HUD models and 3rd person models.

Might be overpowered in vanilla. This was balanced with YIMs weapon tweaks as reference.

There are very minimal art additions to this game for compatibility reasons. It uses existing SR25 assets for icons and 2D artwork. Since there is no inventory dds files to merge, it should be simple to merge this with other mods*.

The SR15 takes advantage of the alt_aim functionality in Anomaly exe to switch between the red dot and the 4x sight. This functionality is slightly buggy and implemented inside the src which I don't have access to, so I cannot fix any issues with it.

This comes with patches for Anomaly magazines, but nothing else.

*only if you use the XM8 replacement. New weapons cause a bunch of compatibility issues with other mods.

Installation

There are two ways to add this weapon to your game: Replace existing gun (XM8), or add as a new gun. Replacing existing XM8 is recommended for max compatibility. I didn't test adding it as a new weapon very thoroughly.

Why replace the XM8? Because this gun is not used very much in the game, and pretty much only the player can acquire it. Also, the XM8 is basically just a different looking G36, so it doesn't add a lot of value to the game. And finally, it doesn't really make sense to appear in the Zone as a very mediocre experimental weapon. This will add the XM8 to loadouts for mercs and monolith.

1. You must drop in the SR15_Required folder
2. Copy in either SR15_Replace_XM8 or SR15_New_Weapon. If you are adding this as a new weapon, the weapons are added to some traders and some loadouts.
3. Copy in the patches if needed.

Modding Notes

• This weapon is internally called TX15, not SR15. Originally the weapon was supposed to be the TX15 DML.
• Only the <st_wpn_sr15> and <st_wpn_sr15_desc> is needed inside the st_items_weapons.xml.
• Anomaly magazines implementation renames the XM8 magazine string instead of adding a new string. This is only true for the XM8 replacement option.
