About this Mod
For suggestions, bug reports, and communicating to me, please use the Issues page instead of commenting - I don't read comments here often
This is my maintained (updated) fork of Ethius' viewmodel-changer. For more detailed information, visit the CyberFlameGO/viewmodel-changer GitHub repository. This mod is only functional on the client-side, but doesn't break anything by being on the server (hence being marked as optional)
Basic usage instructions:
- To use this mod, open the Viewmodel Settings menu - the default keybind is BACKSLASH ("\"), but this is configurable as of v1.10.3.
- Inside the settings menu, you'll see switches and sliders.
- For sliders, you can use either your mouse wheel to change the values or click on a specific spot and hope to get it right.
- For switches, just click on it to negate the value of that setting.
