I'm not saying "ya have ta do this man"...because I'm not sure if it's altogether possible or that it might bloat the size of the mods rar files if it is. Most likely if all that's true or not, it would be time consuming to do anyway I'm sure. What I envisioned was some sort of gore tastefully applied - to the soldiers in first person. Essentially the forearms, hands, sleeves, etc. The blood puddle effect third person applied to the first person arms, to be activated (pop up) after receiving a wound or trauma. And just guessing here, but I'm sure that would have to be applied to each 3d model set of arms (a lot of importing/exporting and rebuilding perhaps.)

Anyway, if a shortcut or work around to limit the hassle was possible, I'm not saying use the puddles from 3p literally, I was thinking new applied texture maps. One example for long sleeves, the texture could be applied to look as if it's leaking down the sleeve/arm, but only visible at the wrist/cuff extending to the rest of the hand (picture the green-coated US faction holding a 1911 with this effect) The weapon models of course would be another separate issue to involve, but realistically too involved altogether.

You have to edit the DESC file in the maps info folder in order to tell fh2 to display it in sp, like so --

great, thank you (works perfect) That could have been right in my face, last hotfix patch I downloaded was at the end of long thread weeks ago. Patch B is where it's at, now I'm up to speed.

This is a pretty interesting read with some nice reference pictures (scroll down 12th & 14th post)--

I think it's a bit too obscure and involved for FH2, but really a neat piece of history from a rifle collectors stand point. To sum up the article for those who like the condensed version --

The grenade attachment was activated by removing the bolt from the receiver and inserting it into the grenade assembly.

The grenade itself was more of a "stun" grenade that produced little fragmentation (idea was to launch one off prior to charging a trench in order to gain an element of surprise over the enemy)

Pre ww2 design (1928)

Extremely rare, only 14 "milsurp" examples ever documented. Royal Italian army designated it the "Tromboncino" model 28

Thank you for this update...

glad this is getting shot down, I say get rid of the wrench while at it. Nothing worse than a full fledged armor engagement taking place, drilling some armor to over halfway critical and having some brit in shorts dash out and magically repair the entire tank literally in seconds by cranking on thin air with a small adjustable wrench intended for small puny fasteners. 

great reply, thanks. That makes a lot of sense (from hip, to aim, to dash) ideally you want two hands on the weapon at all times and preferably the weapon to point forwards the direction the bot is moving to simplify transitions. PR springs to mind as well, in where they have more of a tactical stance with the rifles (muzzle pointed towards the ground)...Trade off is for every round fired it's a huge arc/swing up to aiming position and then back down to that tactical stance (can get to look odd under rapid single shot, the constant jerkiness)

Also as far as moving around any animation files or anything, each time before I mention anything like that I like to stress about backing up whatever it is you're toying with. Any tip like that would be unsupported of course, but I bet out of all of the weapons and animations out there be it from fh2 or some other mod, there's bound to be a close if not perfect match. Reworking an animation can be a big deal, I was just sharing an easy customizing trick I've discovered over the course of getting to learn this shooter.
