Pistol Aiming Mod

Good day friends! As we all know, by default it is not possible to aim with the pistols in Hidden & Dangerous 2. As part of my work on developing modding tools over the last 2 years I have written code that can read and write the game's 5DS animation format. Last year I also wrote code allowing to edit the FpvAnims.sav file that defines all the first person animations for all items in the game. Very recently I combined all this work to create a set of modified and additional animations for our pistols so we can aim them using their sights (or just over the top of the suppressor for the suppressed P08).

   

Pistol Aiming Mod (PAM) - v2025-05-31
=================================================
This mod adds the ability to aim with all 6 of the pistols available in the game. Aiming was not added to the flare gun.
The zoom factor has been calibrated at 1.1x (changed from 1.0x).
All pistols have had their aimed accuracy improved, though they remain the least accurate weapons in the game.

Installation:
Copy the Models and Tables folders into your game folder. This mod is NOT COMPATIBLE with any mod that adds new items or edits item attributes via items.sav or changes animations via FpvAnims.sav. The mod is only required on the game client, not the server.

PAM uses the first person pistol models from ShayoX's enhanced weapon models, but his entire mod is highly recommended: https://www.nexusmods.com/hiddenanddangerous2courageunderfire/mods/2

Future Plans
============
Debug version with scope crosshairs visible
Support for RpR uniform mod
Support for Sasha's New Weapons Mod pistols Coming soon!
Support for Thorir's Browning Hi-Power pistol

Thank you very much for sharing your brilliant work, Brendon

Original post is now updated for the new version. Tokarev has been fixed and the debug and RpR uniform versions are now available.

Brilliant work!

Thanks for taking the time to make a post on the forum as well. That's highly appreciated!

Thank you! I just hope everyone enjoys this mod. I think it could be really good in singleplayer and coop.

Just pushed another update for this:

• All pistols now zoom at 1.1x
• Aiming alignment updated on both versions of the P08 and Enfield .38
• Added fixed secondary Colt 1911 idle animations
