Shotguns GO BOOM

0.1.12

Stability update.

- Safer shotgun tube handling when restoring or changing ammunition, including additional kit and loadout insertion paths.
- Keep the original ammunition until a replacement tube is confirmed ready.
- Spread dropped-shell placement across frames and limit nearby-shell checks during bulk unloads.
- Clean up pending reload work when a shotgun is deleted and guard interrupted ammunition changes.
- Model 12 Body and Fieldkit texture maps now use a maximum 2K resolution.

WIP: some animation and reload quirks remain. The last shell also comes out through the loading port. The goal is fun, not realism.

0.1.11

Update.

- Fix: a server could crash when its save system restored a saved shotgun that held Dragon's Breath shells.

0.1.10

Update.

- Fix: loading a saved kit with Dragon's Breath shells in a shotgun could crash a server.
- Fix: reload pressed while the gun still pumps after a shot is no longer lost. The load starts when the pump ends.
- Fix: Benelli M4: a shot fired during the reload of an empty gun now waits until the charging handle animation ends. Before, other players did not see or hear that shot.
- New: choose the shell type without the weapon inspection. Put a shell in a quick slot and press its key, use a shell from the inventory, or drag a shell onto the shotgun's weapon slot. The gun takes out the other shells and loads the type you chose. The shell stays in its quick slot, and the next shell of the same type takes its place when it is used up.

0.1.9

Update.

- Change: simpler unload when you change the shell type. The pump shotguns pump all shells out in one go, and the Benelli M4 empties its whole tube at once.

0.1.8

Fix update.

- Fix: after changing the shell type and loading the new shells, the gun now pumps (or charges) the first shell into the chamber, as it does after a shot.

0.1.7

Hotfix.

- Fix: 0.1.6 could crash servers when anyone put an attachment on, or took one off, any weapon. The shotgun tube code now applies only to this mod's shotguns; all other weapons use the unchanged vanilla attachment system.

0.1.6

Fix and maintenance update.

- Fix: the 0.1.5 download missed one script. Now the shell tube cannot be taken out of a gun, and the shell-type change on the Benelli M4 and Remington 870 swaps the tube as tested.
- The reload and shell-type code is now in smaller parts, so later fixes are safer.
- Three diagnostic log lines now show only when the game starts with -M12Diagnostics.

0.1.5

Reload and shell-type update.

- Change the shell type with shells still in the gun. Pick the new type in the weapon inspection; the choices now sit at the receiver, and picking one closes the inspection. The character takes the loaded shells out of the loading port one at a time, puts each one back in a pouch, then loads the new type. Firing or sprinting stops the unloading. A shell with no room in your inventory is ejected to the ground and can be picked up again.
- Reloading now works on dedicated servers. Each shell the hand pushes into the tube goes in on the server, and the shell count rises as you see it.
- The Benelli M4 now fires after a reload on a dedicated server.
- A shot pressed while the gun is busy (unloading, loading or charging) now fires when the gun is ready, for up to 6 seconds, instead of being lost.
- Model 12 and Remington 870: firing during an unload with an empty chamber now pumps the next shell up and fires.
- The reload key starts a load only when your hands are free and you carry shells of the loaded type.
- The shell tube can no longer be taken out of a gun.
- New right-hand pose on the Benelli M4 charging handle.

0.1.4

Updated the addon title to Shotguns GO BOOM and added a new main cover image. Gameplay content is unchanged.

0.1.3

Experimental Dragon's Breath fire update: characters can burn over time. Go prone and roll to extinguish. Fuller clothing flames and further pellet-impact improvements.

WIP: animation, reload and impact quirks remain. Outbreak zombie burning, multiplayer fire and join-in-progress behaviour still need verification. The goal is fun, not realism.

0.1.2

Loose red, blue and orange shells replace reserve boxes and group up to 99 in inventory.

Benelli empty reloads now finish in one reload, with a right-hand charging-handle action instead of a pump gesture. Semi-auto shots keep the front grip still.

Adjusted the 870 support hand and loading-shell placement.

WIP: animation and reload quirks remain. Buckshot and Dragon's Breath impact holes still need work; slugs fire one projectile. The goal is fun, not realism.

0.1.1

A short beat between the blast and the pump, with a firmer backstroke and forward lock.


Interrupted pump-shotgun reloads now chamber an available shell before firing; cancelling before insertion stays empty.
