[VJ] Killzone 2 SNPCs

"The Helghast ideal will always live on!"
– Colonel Mael Radec

-Brings the Helghast and the ISA from Killzone into Gmod using VJ Base!

-All SNPCs and features in this pack are designed to be as authentic to the original game as possible. For example, each class for both factions have their respective voice lines and all have their unique abilities and equipment!

-The first addon on the workshop to fully utilize the new feature of VJ Base that allows SNPCs to use playermodel animations. This enables the included SNPCs to have death animations, unique animations for specific weapons, and be able to throw grenades while moving!

-Customize your alignment with both sides using the included settings. Join forces with either the ISA or the Helghast, or even be enemies to both!

-Also includes a boss SNPC, Colonel Mael Radec!

Helghast Assault Trooper
The Helghast Assault Troopers are the standard soldiers of the Helghast Army. They come equipped with the StA-52 Assault Rifle and use it to vanquish enemies of the Helghast Empire.

Helghast Advanced Assault Trooper
Advanced Assault Troopers are an elite variant of the standard Assault Troopers. They are more heavily armored and they are equipped with either the StA-3 LMG or the StA-52 (and will spawn with a unique set of voice lines depending on which weapon they spawn with). Using the StA-3, they can deliver a heavy amount of suppressive fire and damage towards enemies in order to support their fellow troops on the battlefield.

Helghast Shock Trooper
Helghast Shock Troopers specialize in rushing the enemies position to deny them cover and overwhelming them with their StA-11 SMGs; the rapid fire rate of said weapon makes this an especially deadly tactic. Although they are not as armored as the Assault Trooper, they make up for this with their training in agility, which allows them to do tactical rolls to evade incoming gunfire. They also use combat knives to stab foes who come too close to them

Helghast Advanced Shock Trooper
Also known as the "Autarch’s Guard", Advanced Shock Troopers are elite variants of Shock Troopers. They come with all the equipment and agility that a standard Shock Trooper would have, along with the amount of armor given to an Assault Trooper.

Helghast Elite Shock Trooper
As their title suggests, Elite Shock Troopers are another elite variant of Shock Troopers, though they rank lower than the Autarch’s Guard. Their armor is stronger than the armor of standard Shock Troopers, but only slightly weaker than the armor worn by the Advance Shock Troopers.

Helghast Rifleman
Helghast Riflemen are defensive units who use their semi-automatic StA-14 Rifles to take out foes from a distance. Their accuracy and damage done from their rifles make them an especially dangerous soldier to encounter.

Helghast Commando
Helghast Commandos are the shotgunner-type units of the Helghast Army. They are issued the LS13 Shotgun along with heavier armor. They charge the enemy’s position to get into shooting range with their shotgun and quickly dispatch the enemy.

Helghast Sniper
Helghast Snipers are the sniper class units of the Helghast Army. They use the VC32 Sniper rifle to snipe hostiles from long distances.

Helghast Support Trooper
Helghast Support Troopers are the rocketeer type units of the Helghast Army. They are heavily armored and keep their distance to neutralize groups of hostiles with their rocket launchers.

Helghast Drone
The Helghast Drone is an unmanned combat aerial vehicle created to provide aerial support for Helghast troops. They come equipped with a mounted gun that they can use to neutralize hostiles from above.

Colonel Mael Radec
Feared by the enemy and respected by the Helghast, Colonel Mael Radec is the commander of the Helghast Army. Radec’s primary choice of equipment is the StA-3 LMG and a combat knife. Using his cloaking device, Radec can turn invisible whenever he has to reload to easily escape incoming fire. When he is finished reloading, he can easily get the drop on his enemies by de-cloaking to open fire upon them.

ISA Marine
ISA Marines are the standard units of the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance Marine Corps. Their standard issue rifle is the M82 Assault Rifle.

ISA Shotgunner
As their title suggests, ISA Shotgunners are the shotgunner-type units of the ISA Marine Corps. Much like Helghast Commandos, they use the LS13 Shotgun to charge the enemies position and neutralize them from close range.

ISA Sniper
ISA Snipers are the sniper class units of the ISA Marine Corps. They use their sniper rifles to dispatch enemies from long distances.

ISA Rocketeer
ISA Rocketeers are the rocketeer type units of the ISA Marine Corps. They keep their distance and use their rocket launchers to dispatch large groups of hostiles.

1: Make sure you have subscribed to VJ Base and you have it enabled in Gmod.

2: It could be possible that the addon didn’t initialize correctly, restart the Gmod application to re-initialize it.

3: You might have installed an addon that is conflicting with this one. To check, disable all mods except for this one and VJ Base and load a map; then check to see if the issues still occur.

4: You might be using an outdated branch of Gmod. Switch to the default branch and then check to see if the issues still occur.

If the options above don’t work, please report the issue(s) along with any errors that might have appeared in the console.

-Because the Commando’s model from Killzone 2 has not been ripped or ported to Gmod at the moment, he uses his model from Killzone 3 temporarily.

-Most weapon models in this mod are from the actual Killzone games. Due to some not being ported to Gmod however, some of them use their models from Killzone Source, which is a really good source mod you should play if you’re a Killzone fan.

-All Helghast Soldiers use their proper voice lines from Killzone 2. However, I have yet to get my hands on the actual voice lines for the ISA Marines, so for now they use the Battlefield 3 U.S Marine voice lines.

-This is also the case for all of the weapon sounds, which instead use sound effects from Killzone Source.

-Replace the Commando’s model with the one from Killzone 2.
-Add the Helghast Pyro Trooper.
-Add the Helghast Heavy Trooper.
-Add the Helghast ARC Trooper.
-Add the Helghast ATAC (Will be added once I acquire its sound files).
-Add more skins for the ISA and potentially more classes if their models are ported to Gmod.
