very hl2, me likey :)

the bm shotgun is not a fatass no mo

The shotgun went to the gym.

Oh my god it's so good.

We need more mods like this, small changes not completetly changing everything.

finally a complement that makes the original animation to my liking (seriously the shotgun looks very thick like that, although it could have been better to put it a little lower)

Hey! This model is perfect and would love to use it for playthroughs. But, I've noticed an issue where the shotgun shell is visible for a split second after Gordon puts one in during the reload animation and then disappears. Please fix!

long shot gun

will this work with this mod https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2987293333&searchtext=Search+Black+MesaChris%27+HD+Pack+Styled+Sleeves+w%2F+Fewes%27+handpak

This mod doesn't work as of the writing of this comment unless you copy the files to the custom folder. Other than that, it's a great mod that makes the shotgun look how you would think it should. It's less chunky and resembles more of the shotgun from HL1 and HL2.

to all the people complaining the mod doesn't work, use the fucking custom folder ffs, if it doesn't exist make it

Even though the other comments say this doesn't work I haven't experienced any issues.

I love this addon, I think it's the perfect shotgun. Black Mesa's vanilla shotgun has bothered me a bit, because it looks very different than the typical SPAS 12, but I didn't want to install mods that replace it entirely, because it loses it's originality. This in my opinion is the ideal middle ground between the two options.

does this even work anymore?

Rename this to:"Invisible shotgun"

Odd bug that suddenly popped up, but all of a sudden after loading a game with this mod installed Gordon's arms are suddenly showing the HECU sleeves clipping through his HEV suit and gloves, and the only way to get rid of it is to uninstall this mod.

I tried adding the mod to the custom folder and it won't show up? I cleared everything and it is the only mod in the custom folder now. is there anything else I can try?

Can you fix Shotgun's sprint animation delay when switch weapon to Shotgun?

I installed this after the Definitive Edition update, and I've found that my viewmodel is invisible. The console gets spammed with this error whilst the Shotgun is drawn:
Error Vertex File for 'weapons\v_shotgun.mdl' checksum -1970186432 should be -75222185

Had this exact idea not long after they had made that shotgun model, but didn't have the skills to make it myself then. Nice job, looks better.

shotgun is invisible after installing

My shotgun is invisable after installing this mod

Such a small change but it goes a long way in making the shotgun more satisfying to use, definitely keeping this on from now on.

@Javascript it does change the world model too

I'm not quite sure about what I'm seeing but does this change the worldmodel for the shotgun? It would appear the thing's bugged out for me and this is the only shotgun-related mod I have installed.

@Satyr IX of course

Does it works with 1.0 ?

Very subtle difference but it makes it look so much nicer, thanks for this!

Thank you, always.

[ThλtGenericPyro] you might to resubscribe the mod, it didn't happen to me it's working fine

[ThλtGenericPyro] i'll see what i can do

I appear to have found a small "artifact", not sure if it's because of the beta or not:

It's good!

@Lorgason34 Yep. All I had to do is make the barrels large and make the size. Look close to the classic shotgun. I mean 2015 release.

So you made it narrower.
That's awesome.

So the pickup animation works but the sound is desynced. :(
Sounds work everywhere else though

I actually liked the new shotgun as it was Crowbar Collective's remake of the original HL1 low-def shotgun.
What I didn't like was the viewfov, which made it look huge and bulky.
For the long time now, I have been using this mod from Gamebanana.

This improves the viewfov and enhances its HL1 appeal. A combination of your addon and this would make a true Half-Life 1 Shotgun remake.

@Zed oh yah I cant really retexture it so it really shouldn't be a problem for now

https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1993495022&fileuploadsuccess=1

@Zed it shouldnt be a problem

A minor nitpick, but are those black spots on where the barrel and magazine tube meet the heat shield an error?

Thank you so much for the likes everyone, god bless all of you!

good!

Thanks a lot! I was hoping someone would fix that chunky mess without touching the default skin itself.

@Mase-Ace Thank you!

Never could quite put my finger on why I didn't like it so much, always said it looked "too Far Cry and not enough Half-Life"... Turns out it being kinda squished was the problem the whole time, how about that. I'd say this, the original 2012 model, and Lamarr's (https://gamebanana.com/skins/171405) are the 3 best SPAS-12s for Black Mesa by far , thanks for doing this!

I would say "now if we could just get the MP5 fixed (more centered) we'd be golden!" but you've already gone and brought back the original one, so there's obviously no need.

@[ThλtGenericPyro] yah I'd wish sooner too if I gave this model a second chance, when saw the new shotgun, i didn't like it or the way it shaped. but i did bring back the old shotgun here: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1301024583 if you prefer the old shotgun model that i made years ago.

Yeah, never thought I'd say I actually LIKE the 2016 shotgun...

Honestly it's weird how such a simple change completely fixes the whole thing , kinda wish somebody had done this sooner/that model was like this from the beginning.

[ThλtGenericPyro] Thank you!

Have to agree, actually! It looks way better now.

THIS is why some people (including me) don't like the current retail shotgun, it's just too... compact looking. Definitely an improvement.

@1v4n94 Thank you so much!, I had give this model another chance to look great and I would wish that too, also do me a favor share this to everyone so they can see this and feel overwhelmed, It would mean alot to me :)
