Yet another one update where i finally reimagined explosive weapons (though except evictor, this gun is already amazing!). I understand that some of ya'll won't like these alterations, but if you don't like them, just turn them off of course. Also Epoch got it's unpowered shot useful for chaff, and powered shot has damage more to hit rather than explosion.

• Lib explosive Light version
  • Explosion stagger: 30 → 10
  • Drift horizontal recoil: 25 → 50
  • Drift vertical recoil: 25 → 75

• Also hover pack was too fast that it was replacing jump pack
  • Speed: 7.5 → 5.5

Fixed exo blow up appliance, so lib explosive works now.

While you sleep, i'm posting this patch here which makes Liberator Concussive a totally different person now! Look what i got

• Liberator Concussive → Liberator Explosive
  • Big changes
    • Added mech explosion to projectile hit
    • Armor penetration: 2 → 3
  • Attack
    • Damage: 85 → 70
    • Durable damage: 35 → 80
    • Explosion damage: 80
    • Explosion durable damage: 60
    • RPM: 520 → 350
    • Explosion inner radius: 1
    • Explosion outer radius: 3.5
    • Shockwave radius: 4
  • Handling
    • Drift horizontal recoil: 25 → 100
    • Drift vertical recoil: 25 → 250
    • Climb horizontal recoil: 9 → 100
    • Climb vertical recoil: 30 → 500
    • Ergonomics: 65 → 40
  • Misc
    • Projectile velocity: 800 → 600
    • Push force: 60 → 30
    • Demolition: 10 → 20
  • Note
    • It's such a fun weapon now! Totally recomend you to play with it, and also to install some skin mod on it because in vanilla it looks goofy for such a tough weapon i made now!
    • Intent here is to make this weapon to be powerful, and in the same time to be hardly controllable (It's supposed to be used without recoil reduction passives, but with them it might be even stronger)
    • I was going to make less bullets in mag but it affects other liberators so i didn't.
• Hover pack (yeah he's here too)
  • Maximum hover speed: 3.5 → 7.5

I've changed a bit here and there so you can enjoy weapons how they are supposed to feel by me.

• Fast Deadeye
  • Reload speed: 1.4 → 1.2
  • Climb vertical recoil: 200 → 150
• 16 shot Commando
  • Cooldown: 120 → 160

  • Full charge time: 1.1 → 2.7
  • Full charge distance: 55 → 80

  • Arc maximum angle spread (same): 10 → 100
  • Arc range 25 → 30

    • volume X: 0.1 → 0.3

    • volume Z: 1.3 → 1
• Trident (with such a big cooldown comes more heat)
  • Heat per shot: 10 → 12.5
• Lumberer flamethrower capacity: 900 → 1100

Fixed by new script melee weapons and other things that didn't change. Also added oxygenator passive that i didn't add in 1.5.0



If anybody wonders what was the reason, here's what Claude said:

"I found why the melee weapon changes weren’t applying and fixed it in Total-Arsenal-Overhaul-1_5_0-fixed.zip. I haven’t tested it in the game.

Cause: all nine melee weapon patches (Flag, Defoliation Tool, Hammer, Hatchet, Stun Lance, Stun Baton, Saber, Machete, Shovel) shared the same internal guard name, mods/total_arsenal/ars_lib. ARs/Lib uses that name too. The game runs only the first patch that claims a guard name and skips every later one. So at most one melee weapon could work, and if ARs/Lib loaded first, none did.

Your fix_mod_V2.py renamed the headers but never touched this name inside the code, so it didn’t catch it. I changed each melee patch’s guard name to its own header name. The patch headers and sizes are valid, and my repacking reproduces all 224 of your original patch files byte for byte."

Big number 5 is out! It required not a small effort, but i got it. Today we have a super melee update that makes close combat weapons much better to use! Also with new HD2Runtime update reload speed changes are available for all weapons, so now they're much softer. And as always, enjoy your game!
