Desert Eagle + R8 Revolver (Magnum)

"Magnum" isn't just a word for the Desert Eagle only...

In fact, when thinking outside of L4D, the people think of Magnums, they tend to think of revolvers first. The numerous revolvers uploaded to the Steam Workshop prove this point. However, the Desert Eagle is such a cool and iconic pistol, it's a shame to give up on it.

So what if you could use these two simultaneously? There's a revolver called the R8. This 8-shot revolver, produced since 2006, is ideal for use with the 8-shot Desert Eagle from L4D2, set in 2009.

The unprecedented ultimate magnum pistol

To ensure you don't get bored with this skins too easily, the Desert Eagle and R8 have different animation variations for their draw and reload actions, and each comes with five skins and one hidden rare skin. So, you might be wondering if the T-pose will be visible to participants? Don't worry. Since the animations are controlled by vscript, other players can play normally regardless of whether they use this skin.

※ When incapacitated, only basic animations are used. Because it would be a bit weird to be spinning a pistol while lying down and bleeding profusely.

Conditions for Use

This skin is controlled by vscript. Therefore, the server you play on must use the Manacat Common Library.

1. If you are a local server host, if you are using the Common Lib, no additional configuration is required.

2. If you've joined another server, there's usually no problem if that server uses the Common Lib.

If the server you're on isn't using the Manacat Common Library, there are two minor issues:

1. The pistol item will display a glow outline that resembles both the Desert Eagle and the Revolver.
2. The Revolver won't appear during gameplay, and only the Desert Eagle will be available.

Known Issues

1. Some animations may be delayed when joining a server with high network latency.
2. When spectating in first-person mode, some animations will not play for spectators who are not using this skin.

Credits and Thanks

The model and base texture of the R8 revolver were obtained from CS:GO. The R8's variation skins were all created and animated by MANACAT. The Desert Eagle's variation skins are from the Extended Firearms Skin Pack created with SirWololo.

Cuba, who helped me kick-started the project; Henrietta, Orin, and GeneralEcchi, who encouraged me whenever I whined about the difficulties of making it; Orxata, who helped me make the skin variations (though it was ultimately rarely used...) Here's my thanks to them.

If you can make better skins or animate better than me, you can contribute to improving this project. I'm not a skilled expert, so I'd like to connect with skilled people. Please contact me via Discord.
