[B42][SP/MP] Sawed Off Shotgun In Hip Holster
Sawing off a shotgun in Project Zomboid makes the weapon worse in almost every category. At the time of this mod there is really no reason to do it.
This is a cool option in the game and I wanted to make it more balanced. The purpose of sawing off a shotgun IRL is to make it more concealable and easier to handle in close quarters situations. So I made this mod to allow your character to holster the two vanilla sawed off shotguns on the hip rather than the back.
It's a tradeoff. You make the gun worse in almost every way, and in exchange it takes up a hip holster slot instead of the back slot. I think this is a really balanced and fun way to make these guns relevant, instead of an option that nobody picks.
Known issues:
-The animation is slightly jerky. The player character draws the sawed off shotgun with one hand like a pistol, but then immediately jumps to holding it with two hands.
-The double barrel sawed off shotgun still has the buttstock for some reason, so it looks kind of ridiculous holstered at the hip.
Just being up-front, I have no plans on solving either of these issues at this time. This was a mod I primarily made for myself in my very limited free time.
My testing seems to show that this mod is safe to turn on and off without issue on your savegame. There is no need to start a new game to either install the mod, or to remove it. However, I do recommend that you keep a backup of your save just in case.
I'm almost positive that this mod is incompatible with any other mod that alters the vanilla sawed off shotgun item definitions. When in doubt, load this last.
Tested and works in multiplayer.
Let me know in the comments if you run into any issues.
