Hey everyone!
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.
Vanilla Plus
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.
Vanilla Plus addon is available in the Steam Workshop.
Third Person View
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.
Wolfenbabes
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.
