Problem: Several weapons have bipods included in their models, although the bipods themselves are useless and cosmetic-only.
Solution: This mod.

With "Bipods That (Actually) Work," you can now use the Lion Bipod weapon attachment and deploy them on the following five weapons:

* Gecko 7.62 Assault Rifle (Galil)

* Gewehr Assault Rifle (G3)

* JP36 Assault Rifle (G36)

* Thanatos Sniper Rifle (Barrett M95)

* Lebensauger .308 Sniper Rifle (WA2000)

Gif demonstration! Note the more forgiving bipod camera lock, and the lack of "breathing" scope sway and removed recoil-induced crosshair bucking.

Note: This mod also removes all of the (ridiculously strict) restrictions on where you can place your bipods. This is actually a bug, but enjoy it while you can.

Incompatible Weapon Attachments

I have also made the Lion Bipod attachment on these weapons incompatible with other weapon attachments that would remove the bipod model.
Weapon attachment compatibility blacklist:

Galil/Gecko 7.62:
-Fabulous Foregrip
-CQB Foregrip
-Light Foregrip
G3/Gewehr: (All foregrips forbidden except standard/unmodded foregrip)
-Precision Foregrip
-Tactical Foregrip
-Wooden Foregrip
-Plastic Foregrip
G36/JP36: (Only allows the Long Foregrip from the Gage Spec Ops DLC)
-Standard Foregrip
-Compact Foregrip
-Polizei Foregrip
Barrett M95/Thanatos:
-No incompatible mods
Wa2000/Lebensauger .308:
-No incompatible mods

This mod is in beta. It is very new, and most of the bugs from my proof-of-concept are still there. However, none of them should involve crashing.

Custom Weapon Support

This mod now supports custom weapons!

Download Custom Firearm Mechanic for Custom Weapons by Alcat101, which will allow you to apply the bipod to custom weapons. Install with Bipods That Actually Work for functional bipods.

Currently supported weapons include:

Cheytac M200 by >:3
Hecate AMP by Alcat101

But you can easily add bipods to other weapons in

Code:
/Custom Firearm Mechanic for Custom Weapons/Hooks/weaponfactorytweakdata_bipod.lua

, and this mod will ensure bipod gadget functionality in-game.

/!\ Important! /!\

This mod is best used in conjunction with the following mods:

LMG Steelsights by Iron Predator, dotoo, anonymous, Feelgood, Noep, and KarateF22 (Highly recommended. Enables using steelsights or scopes when using LMGs or other bipod-deployed weapons.)
Bipod for G3 by Alcat101 (Cosmetic- unfolds the bipod on the model of the G3)
Bipod for G36 by Alcat101 (Cosmetic- adds an unfolded bipod onto the model of the G36's Long Foregrip)

Other important information:

- This mod should not mark you as a cheater. In-game, you probably won't be visibly bipodded, but it still works regardless of whether or not you're the host.

- If you want to uninstall this mod, remember to remove all of the Lion Bipod attachments from the affected weapons, or you'll probably lose them!

- In the pre-planning loadout screen, other players will be able to see if you have bipods equipped on these weapons, as usual.

Known issues:

No animations. Custom animations are not currently possible in PAYDAY 2 modding.
This mod lets you deploy your bipod anywhere except in the air. Seriously. Faceplanting into a wall, on your teammates' backs, looking straight up, standing on a flat surface with nothing around you, you name it.
Incorrect bipod axis point- When in bipod mode, you may notice that you swivel around a point on the gun that is not necessarily where the bipod is. This is a base-game issue, and I probably won't fix this.

Planned:

[Ongoing] First-person model positional tweaks
Bipods for more weapons?
Other things that are related to bipods?

This whole mod is basically a series of huge workarounds for the convoluted Bipod system, so it's the best I can do right now.

Contact me for help, feedback, questions, answers, or the average rainfall of the amazon basin. In order of priority: I will reply to Discord, reddit and Steam messages most quickly, as I check those the most often, followed by modworkshop comments/messages, clubpenguin messages, FarmersOnly messages, and messenger pigeons.

Have fun!

- Added more efficient checking for custom-bipodded weapons
- Removed a ton of misc old code

I believe that to be the crash text document,there's also one called crashlog btw but that's not this one. One of my issues currently is im not sure on where im meant to place those 2 things you told me to. When they are in my mods folder, activating the bipod on the l86 will make me crash, however if they are in assets/mod overrides activating it does nothing. I also crash when trying to use the bipod on the jp36, but strangely the gecko 7.62 bipod works.

@Mic Welcome to the modding scene! If you could share your crashlog, that would be helpful. The file is called "crash.txt", and is located in "/AppData/Local/PAYDAY 2/". Also be sure that you have the latest version of Custom attachments for custom weapons mod and Custom Firearm Mechanic for Custom Weapons mod. From what I can tell, most errors with this mod have been a problem with one of those two mods (especially with the Vickers); Bipods That Work enables the use of bipods on vanilla weapons and enables its function to be used by any gun, but CFMfCW adds the required data for the custom weapons themselves which use bipods- most often, the problem is that this required data is missing somehow. According to the mod page, the BAR bipod is meant to be functional, provided you attach the bipod gadget attachment. I'm not sure why it's not working. What's the issue with the L86?

I'm not sure if the BAR bipod is meant to be functional or not, but that doesn't deploy. I can deploy my RPD,PKP,LSAT and m60 bipod without problems, but i was having problem with the vickers and l86.

Hello there. I'm relatively new to modding PayDay 2 and recently I've ran into some problems that I hope I may get some help with. I've installed this mod aswell as multiple others, and have then equipped some of my custom LMGS with some bipods. Upon going in game and activating the bipod, my game crashes. Does anyone know how I could fix this? thanks.

ButterBro 06-04-2018, 11:04 AM
@Offyerrocker Thanks for the heads up.

Author Offyerrocker 06-04-2018, 09:08 AM
@ButterBro @Moonswirl Sorry for the double mention. The crash was indeed caused by CFMfCW. Alcat has pushed a fix; if you update that, it should work fine again.

Author Offyerrocker 06-04-2018, 08:23 AM
@Moonswirl Recently, various users are reporting issues with some combination of Bipods That Work, CFMfCW, or EAC along with custom weapons like the BAR or the Vickers; at this stage, it is unclear which of the mods are causing the issue, apparently between both myself and Alcat. This crash also seems to point to CFMfCW, even if it happens to occur with Bipods That Work. Unfortunately, I can't test this right now, although I can push updates if need be, but I'll look into it more when I can. Please let me know if you find anything else out.

@turner148 I think I've solved the crashing issue, give it a try with custom weapons if you'd like

turner148 06-02-2018, 03:23 AM
@Offyerrocker Huh... that's quite odd considering some custom weapons have bipods as well. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

Author Offyerrocker 06-02-2018, 01:24 AM
@turner148 Oh, evidently, "Extra Attachments Compilation" is not compatible with "Custom Firearm Attachments for Custom Weapons." I'm guessing that's the issue, if you have both installed.

turner148 06-01-2018, 10:16 PM
@Offyerrocker Ah, that's probably why I crashed. Using the Vickers and I tried to deploy a bipod as a client.

Author Offyerrocker 06-01-2018, 09:37 PM
@turner148 Which bipod weapon are you using? Usually this only happens with custom weapons (if they don't have all the right stance data added).

Encounter some small issue that might be becuase of how this mod works. Using this mod vanilla bipod doesn't change anim state between folded and unfolded (being deployed, bipod feet erected to touch the ground)

Author Offyerrocker 12-30-2017, 11:39 PM
Updated the description. Thanks!

Alcat101 12-30-2017, 06:26 AM
So I've added some basic support to some Custom Weapon that have bipod. It'll be on the Custom Firearm Mechanic support mod, you might wanna update description so ppl know where to get mod that could give custom weapon bipod ability.

Author Offyerrocker 12-02-2017, 03:44 AM
@Queen of Cards The Platypus Sniper Rifle doesn't have a bipod as part of its model, so I didn't include it in this mod. You could easily add it yourself, though, with just a little bit of Lua knowledge.
