Thread for showcasing my progress on the TacGear mod.

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/29

This is very much work in progress, but expect more gear coming soon.

Feel free to comment! (As long as it's relevant and constructive. )

Hope you like it!

Video of some of the gear in game:

[molten forge]

This looks sick!

[desert iris]

Thanks dude!
It really means alot, especially coming from the cookiemod guy! (Love the cookie mod, won't play ITR2 without it!)

[kind stone]

i fuck with this heavy

[desert iris]

I have absolutely no clue what that means. 😆

[desert iris]

Tactical Gear Retexture. (ITR2).

[desert iris]

New update on Nexus!
Uniform this time.

[desert iris]

This took forever... But I finally made a 3D model for showcasing parts of the mod not normally visible (thinking specifically beanie and headwrap)
HUUUUGE thank you to @craggy shard for all of your help and apparently endless patience!

(Chestrig and backpack are still vanilla).

[desert iris]

Full Dark Earth edition released with a FOMOD installer!

(Please tell me if i doesn't work as intended. I don't know if I set Vortex and thereby the FOMOD up correctly...)

Hope you like it!

[molten forge]

Yes the fomod is indeed working correctly!

[desert iris]

Thanks for telling me.
I've been dreading the silence ever since its release! (Especially since I'm about to release a major update)

[desert iris]

New update released today!
Includes 3 versions: Dark Earth, Ranger Green and Black
FOMOD installer enables you to pick a choose the color gear you want.

Hope you like it!

Youtube Showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B8ewhWQc68

[molten forge]

I'll 100% be using that ranger green gear! That looks sick!

[hybrid valve]

Been getting errors like this and a white untextured model and everything else included in the mod, no other mods are installed

[desert iris]

It's the first time I've seen an error like that.
But it does say "archive damaged." So maybe a download error; try deleting it (and the archive) and redownload it.

[hybrid valve]

Tried that already, didn't work.

[desert iris]

I'll try to check it out.
In the mean time, you can try downloading it manually, drag and drop to vortex and see if the process works then.

[desert iris]

I just downloaded and installed it on another pc than the one I normally use, and it works fine.
There isn't anything wrong with the files, so it seems you have a corrupted download. (I noticed, that one of the files it says are corrupted on your end, is a screenshot file. So it's gotta be a faulty download.)

As to why; I've no idea. It might be Nexus acting up, unstable internet connection, something else.
I can't do much else on my end.

If you still get the error (after having downloaded it manually) write me your entire process, and we'll go through it together.

Do you have the ITR2 extension installed?

[hybrid valve]

Extension is already installed, downloading the manual file now.

No error this time, but I don't think this is supposed to be happening.

[desert iris]

Definitely not!
I'm not sure, what is going on there..!
But I'm about to get a manual version ready for download, and I hope that it will work.
I'll get back to you, once it's uploaded.

[desert iris]

The Manual Edition has just been uploaded on Nexus (under Optional Files) try that one and see if it works now.

[hybrid valve]

Just purged all my mods, (only the one mod), about to install this one

[desert iris]

And did it work? I'm curious to know.

[hybrid valve]

Sadly no, I didn't get an error again, but still white texture

[desert iris]

I have no idea why that is...
What headset are you using?

[hybrid valve]

Meta Quest 3 on Steam Link

[desert iris]

And you've tried both the FOMOD and manual version of the mod with the same results?

[hybrid valve]

Yes, the errors are gone, but not the actual texture rendering

[desert iris]

Might this be a solution?

I've no experience using the MQ3, so I don't know. But if the file structure is different, that might explain it.

[desert iris]

And; have you used other mods before, that works? Especially texture replacers?

[hybrid valve]

The game is in my steam folder, since I bought it on steam, and I haven't used any other mods yet

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IntoTheRadius2 is my directory for the game

[desert iris]

And your mod folder is located in: ...\common\IntoTheRadius2\IntoTheRadius2\Content\Paks\Mods ?

[hybrid valve]

Correct!

[desert iris]

Okay... it definitely should work, so let's try something else.
Try getting another replacer mod. Like a tablet reskin. (e.g. https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/1?tab=description)
Install it via the instructions, and see if that works.
Then we'll take it from there.

[hybrid valve]

I will try the Vortex installer first to see if that works.

[desert iris]

Sure 👍

[hybrid valve]

Vortex installer didn't even change the texture on it.

[desert iris]

It sounds like it's Vortex messing things up for you.
Try uninstalling all mods on vortex and then put the mods (all the files ending with _P) inside the Mods folder. Without any subfolders.

Once you've done that, run the game from steam, NOT Vortex.

[hybrid valve]

Seems to be non-existent.

[desert iris]

On a new install; it is non-existent. You have to create the Mods folder yourself. And then put the mod files in there.

Once you've done that (so it looks similar to my screenshot, albeit different mods; same structure) and launch via Steam, they should work just fine.

[hybrid valve]

You assume I know how to add a texture mod that's not dragging a simple pak into a folder.

I don't even know if this is right.

[desert iris]

I looks right. And it should work now.

[hybrid valve]

Worked!

[desert iris]

Kinda. My mod IS drag and drop, but has a few extra steps because there's different options for each texture.
So yeah, it is more complicated to install, but it was either that or cluttering the nexus page...

[desert iris]

SWEET! 🥳

Next time you wanna add mods, just put the _P files in the mods folder. They can have their own folders (Like my TacGear has) inside the mods folder and still work.
Vortex is a great tool, but it can be very finicky at times.

[hybrid valve]

Tedious but worth it, now I don't look like a glowstick in the dark.

[desert iris]

Yeah, I know. My mod has a lot of "moving parts" so it is annoying to install manually.
But I'm thrilled we got it working!
Enjoy your modding adventures in ITR 2!

[desert iris]

One more note: If the first folder in a mod .rar is IntoTheRadius2, it most likely has the folder structure setup to drag n' drop directly into you main folder (\steamapps\common\IntoTheRadius2) and it'll put all the files into your mods folder.
I setup my mods to do that to make it easier.

[hybrid valve]

Thank you so much for helping me, big kudos to you for making a mod I like and taking time out of your day to help fix this.

[desert iris]

You're welcome mate! I'm glad we got it sorted!
And I'm extremely pleased you like the mod!

[desert iris]

A preview of my current project.

[desert iris]

Latest version with 3 different camo patterns is now released!
(And I'm gonna sleep till monday. Good weekend y'all! )

Video showing the different patterns in game: https://youtu.be/UCbDQFhbEls

Enjoy!

(FOMOD and manual version available)

[molten forge]

Your gear retexture is by far my new favorite mod on the Nexus. Keep up the awesome work!

[desert iris]

A preview of the stuff I'm currently working on.

[molten forge]

Lesssgoooo no more blue padding

[desert iris]

Next update should be ready some time tomorrow.
There'll be 3 variants of the headlamp, 1 for the distortion helmet and 6(!) For all the helmets.

[molten forge]

any ranger green helmets planned?

(i know they are already in the game but the blue padding is awful)

[desert iris]

Of course!
It was a lot of work, but now the helmets can be chosen in the same colors and camo as the uniforms.
I just need to do a bit more testing and make a FOMOD, but you can expect the update later today.

[molten forge]

WOOHOO!

[desert iris]

New update out!
And I'm in the process of making a video to show it off as well, which will come out tomorrow. (Because I've been working on the update all week, need a break, and the Zone is calling..! )

Hope you like it!

[desert iris]

Video showing some of the new stuff out now!

I also show part of the mission to obtain the Anti distortion mask, as there has been a lot of people asking about it.

https://youtu.be/W1kUZqYw4MU

[desert iris]

Just a little preview of the stuff I'm busying myself with these days.
(And no, the MP412 is NOT for ITR2. I don't have anywhere NEAR the skills needed to pull something like that off!)

[molten forge]

ooohhh itr1 retextures???

[desert iris]

Yeah.
I think it was Eliasrex who asked about anyone having done anything to the MP412.
So I figured; it looks VERY gray and downright boring, so I gave it a shot.
I haven't tested it yet though... Been busy making the player model in the other picture.

Besides, many of the retextures we have done are ITR 1, so they shouldn't be too hard to convert to from 2-1. ;D

I've also messed around with the player model in ITR1. Just wanted something... different, before I published anything. And the new pattern I just found, fits the bill pretty well, imo.

[desert iris]

I definitely feel, that ITR 1 needs some love.
It's been too long..!

Anyway, you like?

[molten forge]

I like!

that camo makes the shoes pop really nicely

[desert iris]

Yeah, I think so too!
I wanted to make the details pop a bit more than my previous models.
(I also have some sinister plans involving the balaclava and a texture of a skull... )

[molten forge]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-mw2-cod-gif-10571292919593473842

[desert iris]

Ha! Something like that, yeah.

Well... That didn't go according to plan..!

[molten forge]

I could totally se people enjoying that. perhaps scailed up a bit?

its a really difficult look to nail but a lot of people enjoy it.

[desert iris]

It really is, especially since the texture is split 3 places with scale differences in between...

But he does look kinda happy. ;D

[molten forge]

indeed!

[desert iris]

That's gonna be a project for another day (it's ridiculously hard to get the size right..!)
And I already have enough projects as it is.
But there's definitely some potential there!

[kind stone]

🥴

thank you for cleaning up my beloved 🙏

[desert iris]

I figure you mean the rex?
If so, I was planning to wait with any kinid of ITR1 release until I'd made more content, but if it's your beloved; I might be persuaded to release it as is.

[kind stone]

nah you dont have to worry about rushing it lol i rarely play itr1 nowadays

[desert iris]

Fair enough.
I also don't play it nearly as much as I'd like... I'm doing far more modding the games than playing them

[little fulcrum]

School s-

[desert iris]

KIMBER DESERT WARRIOR

I know it's been some time since I first released this.
But now with the cleaning fixed (thank you @warm solar !!), compatibility patches and a lot of work done, I thought it deserved some time in the spotlight.
So I made a video of it in action. 😁

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgkKpTslwLY

[desert iris]

Well... I might have to change the title soon...

https://youtu.be/4nBmDu_R8_I

AKMS for you!

[desert iris]

Frenzyc's mod depository!

[desert iris]

Yet another one to the collection!
https://youtu.be/SHgo2vAs-Ak?si=bwaD4f6c6qKCm_Kq

[desert iris]

Since Nexusmods is extremely slow to update the cover image, here's some of the updated textures.

[molten forge]

These look sickkkkk
I love the new M4 material.

[desert iris]

Thanks dude!
I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Beta 0.13 was the excuse I needed. 😁
Glad you like it!

[desert iris]

https://youtu.be/gtC303A8Xtk
Video of some of the changes I've made. Plus some in-the-Radius testing of said gear!

[desert iris]

Most of my ITR 2 mods have been updated to work with the upcoming public beta 2.
If there's any issues, don't hesitate to report it either here or on nexus. 👍
I hope you'll enjoy them once the update rolls out!

[desert iris]

I'm in the process of making a big update to my retexture mods, and while doing so, I decided to redo the reflector in an effort to make it more visible (I've noticed there's a lot of people dissatisfied with it..) and while in those files, I redid the portal for my own amusement.

The PM has been blackened and has gotten a lot more details and wear added. Same with the enlarged mag and the PMM grip.

The reflector is now a white porcelain bell with blue flowers painted on it (inspired by real porcelain bells) to make it more visible in the Radius.

The portal is remade to look like wooden door frame, but still with metal and rust visible (it's the Radius; it's supposed to be weird )

Expect them on Nexus later today. (Except for the pm; it needs some more testing before it's ready for upload)

[kind stone]

metal doorframe with a fake wood decal i think it checks out

ive probably run into a doorframe like that irl

i know our school has a metal table with a wood decal on it

[desert iris]

Holy hell...
Chuck updates his god tier mod to 3.0, and I make this shite...

FYI: I'm being semi-ironic. Chuck does make awesome stuff beyond any mere mortal! But my cigs are fancy!

[molten forge]

these look sickkkk

Ill def be using these when they are finished!

[desert iris]

And now the Bizon has gotten some love.
Now I just need to test it out in-game.

(Side by side comparison shots.
Guess which one is the vanilla one?)

[desert iris]

AK74's got some love. (Vanilla disassembled in the background)

[desert iris]

In case anyone wants to check out some of the work I've done so far on the weapons, I've just uploaded this video featuring a lot of my current mod(s) progress.
https://youtu.be/OgoEqsl2N-8

[desert iris]

Updated the Tactical Weapons Retexture to ITR 2 Version 0.13!
Added A LOT of weapons, and even the Fort 17 in a sweet Dark Earth.

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/37

[desert iris]

Latest addition to my Fancy Stuff mod.
Hope you like the more expressive Pechos!

[desert iris]

Just updated the Fancy Stuff mod to include the new artifacts and also gave the inert artifacts a once-over the reflect the change.

[molten forge]

These look awesome! Ill def be using.

[desert iris]

Nice!
And thanks for saying!
I was honestly a bit apprehensive about releasing this as these artifacts are nowhere near as colorful (or weird) as the first ones I made..
If I someday get inspired and get a great idea of how to make them look, I'll definitely do something crazy, but until then I'm glad you like these ones!

[desert iris]

Trying to go back in time...
I don't know if they'll hold up, but if so; expect an update to the Mimic Reskin mod very soon...

[desert iris]

[desert iris]

"Side by side" comparison of the vanilla versions.

[desert iris]

It's been quite a while since an update of... Well, ANY kind.
Short version: a lot of stuff has happened in my life, and a lot of stuff is still happening.
But I'm still here and I'm slowly getting back into modding..

Good news: I've been working on getting the Mimic Voices mod for ITR 2 updated for 0.14 and I should have an update ready VERY soon..!
It does contain some of the very first assets I made more than a year ago, but also a lot of new stuff! Including VO's by a couple of fellow YouTubers, and also by one of the most diehard ITR fans ever!
There's also optional new mimic death screams as well as a "twist" to the statue SFX.

I very much look forward to getting this update uploaded and available as it has been quite a journey getting it made.
I only need to test how it works in-game and it'll be ready. (Preview video will come along after the update )

Until then; stay awesome! 🤘

[desert iris]

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/27
And here it finally is!
I hope you like it!

[desert iris]

Back at it!

Top is vanilla, bottom one I just made.

[desert iris]

Soon...

[kind stone]

quite a few parts you got there

[desert iris]

Yes. Something's cooking...

[desert iris]

Working on an update for the weapons.
I've learned a ton since I made most of the stuff in this mod, so instead of just making the last few assets still missing I've decided to go over every weapon for one huge update.
This is the new PM I've just made.
The store version is a lot more clean now and the Radius PM is rusted and worn, though with more attention to detail and subtlety than before.
Before I only modified the color texture as I didn't really know what I was doing.
With this I've updated the normal map to make the wear more prominent and also modified the ORM to make the wear more reflective and the rusty bits less shiny.

It'll be a while; but an update is on the way.

[silent compass]

I'll be so real listening to the voicelines in the mod page alone makes me feel like this should just be put into the base game

It's so PEAK

[silent compass]

Oh yea do you plan to update this Audio overhaul mod for 1.0 once it comes out/if it's needed

[desert iris]

Of course!
If CMI insist on using those horrible AI voices, there's no way I'm not updating it. 😉

[silent compass]

Lovely! It sounds great and if they don't replace the voices id most likely download your audio change mod

[desert iris]

Thanks mate.
I'm also quite curious to see if they change it or not..

[desert iris]

Real life update: (of sorts)
So this little dude went to the Zone and came back from the Radius only armed with his Morakniv, and a musket?!
(When he left he was decked out with an M4..!)
Not only that, he brought 2 Pechos (pechi?), a Kolobok (Zone artifact) and a Heavy Helix (Radius artifact) back with him.

The Zone/Radius truly are anomalous..! 🤯

[desert iris]

It's finally here!
@molten forge you're no longer the only one!

AFAIK...

[molten forge]

I Love the design!

[desert iris]

Thanks!
I made it myself!

..By ripping assets from the game(s) and slightly tweaking them using my far superior modding abilities to bend and mold them into this flawless design! 🤘 🤘

😁

[desert iris]

@molten forge In case you want it.
I've cleaned it up a bit from the one I used.
No one would probably ever notice it, but there was a few pixels on the edge which turned out slightly discolored. So I've removed those to make it as clean as possible. 😁

[kind stone]

whod you get this made with.......

might have to look into this if theres never an official one

[molten forge]

https://www.vistaprint.com/photo-gifts/personalized-mugs

That's where I got mine printed from.

[kind stone]

just a few mugs

[desert iris]

The metal one isn't as I had envisioned it, but it's okay so I'll keep it. 😁

[desert iris]

I also used vistaprint per @molten forge 's recommendation.
Using hi-res logos (I upscaled them, and then sharpened and colored them as I wanted them) it turned out really well!
The metal one was supposed to be white, but apparently they can't do that(?) but seeing as I didn't bother to read the fine print; I'm probably to blame in this case. 😅
Still like it though.

If you want I can put the collection of logos here?
I have both the ITR 1 and 2 logos in 1024x1024, white and on a transparent background, so you can easily change the color to whatever you want. 😊

[desert iris]

Work on the Weapons Overhaul has resumed.
A bit more than it was before... I don't know! I just wanted to show the 1911's!

Changes:
Made the Compact actually look like it's made of stainless steel. (Including the mag).
Blackened the classic 1911 and enhanced some details.
Blackened the Kimber, threw on the logo and recolored the grip to match the Tactical Custom model.

Once they've been properly tested and verified, an update will come out.
(Haven't found the compact yet...)

[desert iris]

My plan was to continue work on the M4 (my current project before 1.0 hit...) but I looked at a few images of the KDW and thought "That grip is nice..!"
So I made it and then proceeded to add the logo and other text stuff to make it closer to the real one.

[desert iris]

For whatever reason the latest update for my cigarettes and lighter mod isn't shown in the modding_catalogue... (Adult content due to "Harmful substances"?)

So I figured I'd show the latest changes here!
12 new designs for the lighter to choose from now.
https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/136

[silent compass]

heya frenzy! i saw your custom controls for itr2 and i wanted to ask

you see im left hand dominant but

i want to turn with my right stick and move with my left

its just how i like it

how would one make a custom bindings thing for that?

or better question what does hand choice even change other then the turning

since you can pick where your holsters are

[desert iris]

Hi mate.
I honestly have no idea what the hand dominance setting changes. Try it out and see for yourself. 😉
If that doesn't give you what you want, you can go into "controller bindings" in your Steam menu and change things to how you want it.

[silent compass]

Thanks! Also weirdly I tried to use your no clicking binds recently and I don't think it worked, I think due to the update they stopped working!

[desert iris]

I can imagine so... From what I can tell the controls have changed a bit since I made that control scheme, but I can't say for certain if it also affects the quest controls as I don't have a quest.
I made that scheme by request but haven't heard anything since. Then again, it's a long time ago by now.
Honestly I'd even forgotten I'd made it.

[silent compass]

Fair!!

[desert iris]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-flying-circus-something-gif-4559152

Got a request for a black anti distortion mask... Well it has a damage layer now.
So I did my best and inadvertently created the stuff of nightmares.
Mission accomplished!

[silent compass]

Hey frenzy! Even though they do got the new voicelines will you still put your voiceline mod in 1.0 and just adding them to the pool? Alot of them are really cool thatd suck not to hear again!

[desert iris]

Initially I thought of retiring the mod, but after having played 1.0 a bit I can say with confidence that I've changed my mind.
I do wanna complete it first. Aaaand to do that I have to complete Drova first (I've gone full side-quest atm... 😅 )
But THEN I'll look into the voice lines mod. I might just do like realmadmartian and only change out some of them ('cause I think most are really good!) but yeah;
TL;DR: I'll revive the mod again soon. 😊

[silent compass]

Lovely

[silent compass]

I saw it got the update!!! Does it replace the lines or just add them to the voiceline pool! Either way I think I'll use em

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-gif-10407713357609088371

Check out this sea bunny

[desert iris]

It replaces them.
We cannot add things to the game yet, so nothing I can do about that.
I do hope you'll give it a spin; I think it works very well, perhaps even better than the 1.0 voice lines...

I got sidetracked a bit...
Anyhoo! Here's a little teaser:

[silent compass]

Oh yea I'll still totally use it
