HMG Overdrive — Version Update

New Weapons

Added new migrated weapon variants using TaCZ and ClassicRCCRP presentation assets while retaining HMG gameplay behavior.

TaCZ

• M870
• M1014
• Kar98k
• M320
• HK416D
• Mk 14 EBR

ClassicRCCRP

• AK-74
• AK-74M
• AKS-74U
• HK416
• M110
• MG36

ClassicRCCRP content is packaged separately with its original CC BY 4.0 attribution.

Reload & Weapon Audio Overhaul

• Added full mechanical reload audio support for migrated TaCZ-style weapons.
• Magazine, bolt, slide, pump, shell, and other mechanical sounds can now play directly from authored animation markers.
• Reload sounds now follow the actual animation timing instead of relying on generic approximations.
• HMG firing sounds remain authoritative and are not replaced by imported animation markers.
• Added fallback reload audio support for weapons whose source animations do not contain sound markers.

Per-Shell Reloading

Migrated per-shell weapons now properly follow HMG's real ammunition lifecycle.

• Added staged reload presentation with:
  • reload intro
  • repeated shell/round insertion
  • reload finish/cancel animation
• Each shell or round is only added when HMG actually commits it.
• Interrupting a reload retains ammunition that was already inserted.
• Future rounds are never granted simply because an animation played.
• Existing firing interruption behavior remains supported.

This now applies to weapons including:

• M870
• M1014
• Kar98k

Kar98k now uses five real single-round magazine slots rather than presenting a cosmetic full-clip reload.

Animation Improvements

• Fixed imported equip/draw animations that could incorrectly loop forever.
• Imported draw animations now correctly return to the weapon's idle pose after completing.
• Fixed a crash when equipping the ClassicRCCRP AKS-74U.
  • Zero-duration held idle poses are now preserved correctly instead of being treated as impossible looping animations.
• Timed locomotion and action animations remain unchanged.

Crafting Recipes

All migrated weapons now inherit the Gun Smithing Table recipe of their legacy HMG gameplay counterpart.

This includes:

• TaCZ weapons
• ClassicRCCRP weapons
• Blockbench AKM

Imported versions now follow the same progression and material requirements as their original HMG equivalents instead of existing as recipe-less variants.

Inventory Rendering

Adjusted several imported weapon icons for better inventory presentation.

• Increased TaCZ RPG-7 inventory size by 1.5×.
• Reduced the oversized TaCZ M870 inventory model.
• Reduced the oversized TaCZ M1014 inventory model.

These changes only affect inventory rendering.

Weapon size while:

• equipped
• dropped
• aiming
• in first person
• in third person

is unchanged.

Naming & Creative Tabs

Cleaned up imported weapon names and content tabs.

Creative Tabs

• HMG TaCZ Guns
• HMG ClassicRCCRP Guns
• HMG Blockbench Guns

Weapon Names

Imported weapons now use consistent source-prefixed names such as:

• TaCZ AK-47
• TaCZ Glock 17
• TaCZ M870
• TaCZ M1014
• TaCZ Kar98k
• TaCZ M320
• TaCZ HK416D
• TaCZ Mk 14 EBR
• ClassicRCCRP AK-74
• ClassicRCCRP AK-74M
• ClassicRCCRP AKS-74U
• ClassicRCCRP HK416
• ClassicRCCRP M110
• ClassicRCCRP MG36
• Blockbench AKM

Removed player-facing underscores and raw internal naming from migrated content.

Content Pack Cleanup

HMG Blockbench

Added a dedicated HMGBlockbench pack.

• Moved the Blockbench AKM out of the normal GVCguns pack.
• Moved its Blockbench model and related content with it.
• Added the required pack-local dependencies so the weapon remains self-contained.
• Legacy GVCguns assets used by existing weapons remain untouched.

TaCZOfficial

Consolidated the older Bedrock test weapons into the production TaCZ content structure.

• AK-47 now belongs exclusively to TaCZOfficial.
• Glock 17 now belongs exclusively to TaCZOfficial.
• Removed the old TaCZCompatibility development pack.
• Removed duplicate gun definitions and redundant development assets.

There is no longer a separate test gun pack being distributed solely for the early Bedrock imports.

Backend / Modpack Developer Changes

• Added reusable deferred recipe-copy support for migrated weapons.
• Migrated recipes now resolve against their actual HMG gameplay counterpart after recipe packs finish loading.
• Added staged imported reload presentation states:
  • INTRO
  • INSERT
  • END
• Added reusable support for animation-timed mechanical sound markers.
• Added clip-start sound fallback support for marker-less imported animations.
• Imported fire/shoot animation markers are filtered so HMG remains authoritative for firing audio and weapon behavior.
• Improved handling of zero-duration imported animation poses.
• Cleaned duplicate imported registrations, localization entries, obsolete pack references, and development-only packaging.
• Updated TaCZOfficial, ClassicRCCRP, and HMG Blockbench migration metadata and attribution.

Licensing / Migration Notes

The following packs remain excluded from direct weapon migration:

• Warzone — packed asset format
• Continental — no directly compatible HMG gameplay equivalents currently identified
