About this mod Author’s original text

Sosig Hat Realism

Just a simple plugin that tweaks the PMat on hats that have HeavyFabric as the MatDef to behave like Air rather than PlasticThin to prevent deflection or blocking of the bullets if the velocity is too low. This should make derringers through hats a bit more viable and those odd edge cases that would kind of cancel out shots.

Some Desperado hats have been tweaked to sit lower on the head so the hat and sosig head hitbox line up better to prevent shooting directly through the hat. Top hats were not changed, so shooting too high on those will absolutely miss their dumb Sosig heads.

Hopefully I am not totally breaking something by attempting this.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
