About
The unofficial fix was released on the 11th December 2012 by Azarael and fixed many problems of the Ballistic Weapons mod and at the same time added many new features and options. The latest version, version 10, was released on the 1st May 2013.
Content
Listed below are the new features and changes the fix adds to the Ballistic Weapons mod.
Balance marker key:
+[++] marks an increase in weapon power.
-[--] marks a reduction in weapon power.
# marks a rework.
[!!] marks a new default. Any new defaults have been set because they are considered extremely important to gameplay.
Bugfixes
Adrenaline
Improved support for the Berserk combo.
By default in V25, Berserk increases fire rate by 25%.
Berserk increases reload/cocking animation speeds by 25%.
Berserk reduces recoil and fire chaos by 25%.
Berserk reduces incoming damage on the player by 25% if they have a BallisticWeapon equipped.
BallisticFire
Network related: fixed a bug causing weapons to shoot after the application of recoil.
Firemodes marked as "Burst fire" have an enforced delay, but the shots within the burst fire more quickly.
The Z vector of velocity recoil (pushback when firing) is scaled down by 75%. Prevents shotgun boost jumping and M925 parachuting.
BallisticGrenadeFire
Changed functionality. The altfire is always Auto Throw and the primary fire can switch between Long and Short throw, defaulting to Long.
BallisticInstantFire
Different code for locational damage:
Closest point to Z-axis of hit xPawn is found.
If this point is within the head radius, it's a headshot.
If this point is above the centre of the xPawn minus a certain fraction of the CollisionHeight, and within 20 Unreal Units (xPawn collision radius is 25) of the centre, it's a torso shot. Anything else is limb.
BallisticMeleeFire
Hit arc is smaller and aligned with the horizontal plane.
Melee weapons which hold fire (such as bayonets) will not aim off when the player sprints.
BallisticMeleeWeapon
If simplified crosshairs are being drawn, melee weapons will draw a crosshair based on the horizontal extent of their swing arc.
BallisticProjectile
Network related: Fixed bug causing projectiles to have incorrect velocity vector on clients.
Network related: Fixed handling of !bNetTemporary projectiles, such as guided G5 rockets.
Network related: Fixed an issue causing BallisticProjectiles fired into walls to remain there, projecting dynamic light, until their LifeSpan expired.
Network related: Fixed a bug causing projectiles to hit multiple times for massive damage.
If the projectile is PHYS_Falling and its max speed or base speed is greater than 3500, the projectile will ignore terminal velocity. This is a fix for a bug with the HAMR and renders it an extremely powerful long-ranged weapon. Please note that while the stock HAMR is underpowered, the fix HAMR is overpowered and the BallisticV25.u modifies the HAMR's balance to somewhere in between.
Network related: Fixed an issue with StartDelay being applied to projectiles in cases where it shouldn't have been.
Different code for locational damage, details in BallisticInstantFire.
BallisticTurret
Turret behaviour modified to allow turrets to act as normal BallisticWeapons in terms of recoil behaviour.
The mod weapon X-83 Sniper Rifle is the only known stock V25-based weapon to implement this.
Turrets reduce incoming damage on the player by 30%.
Turret operators are unaffected by damage momentum.
Network related: Turrets shoot on target, or as much on target as they're able to in the case of sniper turrets.
Network related: Weapons will no longer disappear in a player's Inventory when undeployed two or more times.
Network related: Turret users will no longer be made invisible on servers running Anti TCC.
Network related: Undeploying a turret will set the player's weapon to the undeployed turret weapon after a short delay.
Network related: Undeploying a turret will no longer incorrectly reset the player's view rotation.
BCSprintControl
Sprint recalculates speed anew rather than multiplying the current GroundSpeed (this approach had a permanent slowdown bug)
Sprint has a 1.2 second recharging delay if it's modified (Sprint dodge abuse fix)
BallisticWeapon
Adjusted the behaviour of OwnerEvent: BallisticWeapons skip Ammunition and inactive Weapons.
The above is to fix the Reloaded crash and other recursion crashes with many Inventory items.
Weapons given to Bots have the aim system disabled, since they don't understand it. Expect improved bot aim.
AimSpread is scaled by the inaccuracy slider and not just ChaosAimSpread.
Adjusted cocking behaviour: Weapons will no longer skip their cocking animation if they are switched out and then back in.
The weapon must fully complete the animation in order to cock. Primarily a fix for the BORT rapidfire exploit.
Fixed a bug during reloading causing weapons to jam (if I recall, when switched out or scoping during a certain reload state).
Zooming is compatible with Anti TCC.
Reworked iron sights:
Iron sights smoothly zoom to the desired FOV and back.
Weapon bob is scaled to zero over the course of the weapon's raising.
Fixed the "shunt" or "jump" in animation which occured when a weapon was fully aimed and went into scope or sights view.
Iron sights will no longer aim the weapon off from where the crosshair was - the weapon will naturally reaim to centre.
If the attempt to use iron sights is aborted, the weapon will reaim, and there is a limit to the frequency at which centre reaims can occur to prevent abuse.
Grace is given for iron sights; CheckScope() and CanUseSights() will only force the player to abandon sight view if their Z velocity exceeds a certainamount. Prevents the application of weaponfire momentum to the player from repeatedly resetting the weapon as it attempts to rise.
Network related: Weapons always use net aim (server will send weapon's aim info to clients).
Reworked speedup/down;
Speed is set anew when a weapon is brought up, if the SpeedFactor differs from that of the previous weapon. The Speed adrenaline combo is also accounted for. Fixes the Dual Wield massive speedup bug as well as some other speed problems.
Adjusted NextWeapon / PrevWeapon logic to cycle weapons correctly. However, since the groupoffsets in BallisticV25 are bad, and some weapons override these, this change alone will not fix the scrolling problem - you must use the BallisticV25 fix as well.
Network related: Added TargetedHurtRadius to BallisticWeapon. Mod authors should call it from here instead of within WeaponFires
(Projectiles are OK) to avoid ProcessEvent server crashes.
Fixed an issue in previous versions of this core where scoping while falling would slow you down.

Crosshairs Tab
Use Universal Crosshairs now causes Simple Crosshairs to be drawn instead of allowing the user to configure a single Ballistic-style crosshair. This change is because the kind of player who would use the Universal
Crosshairs option would benefit even more from Simple Crosshairs.

Config Settings
[BCoreV25.BallisticDamageType]
bSimpleDeathMessages
Renders all Ballistic deathmessages as Killer [Weapon (Headshot/Suicide)] Killed
[BCoreV25.BallisticInstantFire]
DamageModHead
DamageModLimb
If bUseModifiers is set in BallisticWeapon, instant fire weapons deal locational damage based on their base damage multiplied by whatever values are set here.
[BCoreV25.BallisticProjectile]
DamageModHead
DamageModLimb
As above but for projectiles
[BallisticV25.BallisticReplicationInfo] (inherited)
ReloadSpeedScale
Scales all reload / cocking speeds by this value.
[!!]bNoFirstCock (True)
Prevents weapons from cocking the first time they are brought up.
bLockRecoil
Forces all weapons to have ViewRecoilFactor 1; that is, the crosshair and the weapon's aim are always aligned, and recoil shifts the view, instead of the weapon pointing above the crosshairs.
bLockRecoil and AccuracyScale 0 replicates the Frag.Ops WYSIWYG aim system, and this is a setting for those of you who may have wanted to play with recoil on but still have bullets go where the crosshair is aimed.
bNoCrosshairs
No Ballistic crosshairs will be drawn at all. This was a request for some players who choose to play together without crosshairs, and while this setting will work on a server, it's obviously extremely easy to get around.
[BCoreV25.BallisticWeaponPickup]
bLimitCarry
Limits the number of weapons you can carry in each Inventory slot.
MaxWeaponsPerSlot
Maximum weapons one inventory slot can hold.
[BallisticWeapon]
[!!]bUseModifiers (True)
Locational damage done by weapons becomes the body damage multiplied by the modifiers set in BallisticInstantFire and BallisticProjectile.
[!!]AimKnockScale (0.1)
Scales the displacement of your weapon's aim caused by being shot. 0 disables displacement caused by taking damage entirely. The default for this core is 0.1.
[!!]bViewDecline (False)
If false, prevents the view from moving back through the path of the weapon's recoil, or "snaking", while recoil is declining. Strongly recommended.
bDrawSimpleCrosshair
Draws crosshairs CoD / BF / L4D style, a cross which expands to accurately show the potential displacement of your weapon. These crosshairs show red if your weapon mag is empty or it needs cocking. For melee weapons, the crosshair shows the extent of the melee swipe arc. The color of this crosshair is the Global crosshair color (Engine.HUD.CrosshairColor) which is the color used for non-customised crosshairs in the Weapons menu of Settings. This option has replaced Universal Crosshairs within the Ballistic Crosshair menu.
[!!]bDrawCrosshairDot (True)
Draws a 2x2 square in the centre of the screen when DrawSimpleCrosshair is enabled.
bPlayScopeUp
If set to false, prevents the weapon from resuming scope or sights view after temporarily scoping down for whatever reason (reload, cock, long gun)
ScopeXScale (set via console command ScaleScope)
Sets the X:Y ratio of the currently selected weapon's scope. Old scopes made for fullscreen 4:3 are 1.3333* M46's scope is 1.25. Square scopes are 1. You will only need to use this command with any mod weapons which have distorted scopes - the Ballistic Community Bonus Pack weapons, and the V25 weapons if you're using the BallisticV25.u fix, have the correct widths set.
bUniformWepNameColors
Sets all weapon name colours (when they appear on the HUD) to the colour set below.
UniformWepNameColor
The colour to use for all coloured weapon names. Takes the form (B=x,G=x,R=x,A=255) where x is in the range 0-255. This defaults to yellow.
bChamberReloading
Reloads take into account the round in the chamber. Depends upon BallisticV25.u for D49, leMat, M290 and MRT6 support. The revolvers will jam without it.
