Vanilla Plus.More fixes and improvements.

[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

It's been a while since the last update. And today I present to you an update that aimed to fix some bugs and implement a few things requested by the community.


[h2]Vanilla Plus[/h2]
The highlight of this update is Vanilla Plus gamemode, which was requested by some of the community members. Vanilla plus is trying to preserve the original game feel while still keeping most of the RealRTCW improvements.

Vanilla Plus features:
  • Vanilla weapon models and textures
  • Vanilla sounds
  • Vanilla AI parameters (still tuned it a little bit for Realism)
  • Minor weapons fire rate tuning to make it feel more like in Vanilla
  • New holdable items like Bandages and Adrenaline still exists
  • Removal of all new weapons with the exception of Shotgun
  • Removal of the recoil effect while still keeping the lower spread values
  • Removal of the new skyboxes and foliage models

Due to removal of the new weapons some achievements are impossible to earn in Vanilla Plus.
Walkthrough achievements are also unavailable.

Credit for initial release and inspiration goes to FuriousOverlord.

[h2]Third Person View[/h2]
This update also introduce fully playable Third Person view mode. BJ's model is now properly animated, crosshair is enabled along with 2D hints. Camera position was also tweaked a little. You can enable Third Person view and adjust camera distance from the View menu.


[h2]Wolfenbabes[/h2]
Ever thinked about replacing all of the enemies with elite guards? Well, that's a thing now. Wolfenbabes addon was adapted (and fixed) for RealRTCW.

Nostalgia Sound Pack is now available!



[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

New weapon sounds could be a debatable change from vanilla game. Most players seems to be fine with the new sounds, but there are quite a few people who would prefer going back to vanilla sounds. If you are one of these people this update is for you.

Nostalgia Sound Pack is now available on the Steam Workshop!

This sound pack reverts weapon sounds back to vanilla ones.
New weapons which were not present in vanilla are using sounds from Enemy Territory and various ET mods. This pack also affects various misc sounds.
Some of the vanilla sounds were edited to exclude shell impact sound, due to RealRTCW shell impact system.

Installation instructions:

To install this pack simply subscribe to it in the Steam Workshop and launch it from the addons menu.

But if you wish to use this pack with other workshop addons do this:

1) Go to /steamapps/workshop/content/1379630/2384951103

2) Copy z_znostalgia_sounds.pk3 to RealRTCW/Main

Enjoy!
