VERY LIKELY TO CRASH GUESTS IN MULTIPLAYER IF THEY SEE PURPLE QUESTION MARK ON YOUR BACK
Guard Dog Support Weapon Menu + Preloader v1.0.0
An extension of Guard Dog Loadout（护卫犬挂载自选）by 君则0910
Choose a support gun for your machine-gun Guard Dog from the in-game MODS menu.
The companion preloads supported weapon assets locally, so those selections
do not require you to carry the donor weapon. It offers 28 support gun choices
in five families, plus the original loadout mod's SEAF MG-43 selection.
Requirements (install separately)
- Bingus Shared Loader v18+ / API 1
- HD2Runtime 0.28.1+ with asset and options APIs
- Mod Options Menu; a scrolling version is useful with many installed mods
- HD2 Scanner
- Guard Dog Loadout
Installation
Import the ZIP in the mod manager, replace the older version, enable, deploy
and fully restart the game. Keep the dependencies enabled.
Using it
Open Escape > MODS > Guard Dog Support Weapons.
For support guns: choose Support weapon, select a family and its weapon, then
APPLY. Wait for asset readiness and mount confirmation, then summon a fresh
machine-gun dog. The other families' remembered selections are inactive.
For SEAF MG-43: choose SEAF MG-43 (original loadout) on the TOP control row,
APPLY and summon a fresh dog. The regular MG-43 family entry is a different gun.
Important limitations
Only the AX/AR-23 Guard Dog is changed, not Rover/Breath/K-9. Existing dogs
do not switch their mounted weapon in place. Asset availability is not proof
of correct aiming, charge, lock-on, backpack feeding, reload or replenishment.
This is not an accuracy/recoil/range fix. Preloading can increase memory use
and load time; turn preload-all off to request only your selected support gun.
SEAF selection delegates the original built-in option; it does not add a new
SEAF-specific asset preloader.
Multiplayer warning
Preloading is local to your client. It does NOT load assets for unmodded
teammates. Missing models/purple question marks and peer crashes have been
reported during related custom-mount testing. This release does not resolve
those issues. Test solo first; do not advertise it as unmodded-MP compatible.
Configuration safety
An original configuration backup and conflict checks are included. Avoid
changing the same loadout with another menu at the same time. To restore the
stock dog, choose Original dog rifle, APPLY and summon a fresh dog. Disabling
this companion alone does not undo the weapon saved in GuardDogLoadout.cfg.
Validation
21 offline scenarios / 962 assertions passed using SDK asset/options/scheduler
code with synthetic package requests and virtual files. This is not a native
gameplay or multiplayer validation result. See README.txt for diagnostic paths.
Dependencies and attribution
This is a companion to Guard Dog Loadout, HD2 Scanner, Bingus Shared Loader,
Mod Options Menu and HD2Runtime. Their components are not redistributed here.
