It's a shotgun where you reload it shell by shell. Reload by holding the Pie Menu.
Since you reload one shell at a time, it is much faster to completely reload when you have near-full ammo, but longer if you have little ammo left. The AI also knows how to reload the gun, so you don't have to baby-sit them.

New - Double Fire feature. Toggle with PIE MENU -> Gold Dig option.

There's a torrent of great stuff coming from you, great work.


Can you make a Kar98?

Its not as revolutionary as your other mods but it is still noteworthy! I like how it is more realistic but the control scheme is really awkward (try flying, shooting, reloading, landing, surviving, etc) but other than that thumbs up! Oh and if its control-editable then disregard the above(haven't looked at the lua/stuff yet)



Also Have you ever just thought about making "The CaveCricket's Cricket cave"? (for all your mods in one spot)

D/Ling i will come back with feedback.

EDIT:

this was kinda strange having a bow out but the shotty thing stayed there.

Love the manual load feature, but I modded the reload system so it would be less of a hassle to reload.

I made it easier to reload now. Also, the AI will reload the gun if they don't detect any enemies and a certain amount of time has passed.

Brilliant little cricket, I hope your stuff will be soon part of vanilla content.

My only criticism would be the fact that the ammo meter is similarly coloured to the background. It's awesome, but that needs to be fixed I'd say.

What color should it be? It can't be dark, or else it would be translucent.

orange.

Red. I don't think there are any backgrounds that are red, or a shade of red. Maybe rusty, but not red...

Also if you could make the sounds a little louder (Or at least when you shoot it) that would be awesome. Nice mod by the way. I love it.

Shotgun ammo meter is still blue, but is now not effected by background colors. Sounds are also changed.

Edit: And the cocking sounds play realisticly, meaning you won't cock your shotgun when you fired your last shot, but you will when you load in more ammunition.

This is freaking awesome

Very, very nice work.
