Hello!
First, thank you for taking the time to read this insignificant post. It is my first one so bear with me on this...
Also, I tried searching on the forum if something similar has been suggested, but I have not found anything. Forgive me if this is essentially a repost.
So... I've been playing some vanilla Zomboid when I noticed a teeeeeny tiny detail that I could not ignore (and thus I am on the forums for the first time).
Am I crazy, or is Janelle Hoffmann (the poor survivor pictured below) holding that shovel right?
Why is she holding and swinging that shovel like a baseball bat?
My gripe: The weight and material* would not allow a normal person to use a shovel like this.
It looks like the same animation is used for all two-handed weapons.
I would realistically keep both hands on the shovel. For your information, I'm referring to the optimal shovel-holding-as-a-weapon technique from another hit indie game that is just as LETHAL as Zomboid is...
*Shovel heads are typically made of steel, and occasionally aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic. However, considering the textures of the shovel in the game and the context provided, it is unlikely that the shovel being held is made of a material other than steel.
This also leads to the discussion of other weapons being wielded in the "wrong" way, with each given a unique animation that is appropriate...
(Also, I haven't seen any mods that fix this immersion issue either.)
