GRASS

GRASS — Gun Rides A Simulated Skeleton. Formerly "PWHS Layered Weapon Handling"; renamed in 0.6.0, same entry. Tech demo, early alpha. Made to test the simulation, not for regular play or servers. Client-side only; AI is unaffected. Weapon handling is replaced with a physical model of the body holding the weapon. Each weapon is weighed from its own geometry, attachments included, so behaviour follows from mass and inertia instead of per-weapon values. Features - Recoil derived from the firing impulse and absorbed by the shoulder, with a short delay before the muscles respond. - The shot moves the whole body. The climb stays on the sights and is not returned automatically; prone reduces it. - Weapon roll depends on the grip. - Sustained fire loosens the hold. - Recoil reaches the head; a helmet slows it. - Delayed, weighted sway while walking. Hip fire is imprecise; aiming down sights settles it. - Underbarrel launchers push the muzzle down. - Gloves reduce grip strength. - HUD: aim ring, hand markers, stance and stamina bars, and indicators for a blocked muzzle, vegetation, ground surface and unsupported footing. All optional. - Settings tab (GRASS): HUD, opacity, view options, body mass and strength; the simulation scales with the last two. Servers can lock the settings. - Vanilla recoil is kept on handguns, launchers, and weapons the mod cannot measure or move. Hands: the engine offers no way to keep the hands attached to a recoiling weapon. In first person the body is hidden while a long weapon is held and markers show hand positions; handguns keep the body and shadow. Third-person appearance is unchanged. Server admins: to lock settings for all players, create GRASS_Server.conf in the server profile folder with lock=1 and optional key=value lines (hud, ringVisible, dashWords, dashRow, spineLamp, headRollCut, camHeadLag, bodyMass, benchPress), then restart. Omitted keys use mod defaults
