Gotta get around to finally replying to some of this stuff. Glad to hear people enjoying the mod!

if you would like some free sprites, you're welcome to use what i have so far... pm me.
as for your mod, I think it is very nice, but vanilla monsters are not a great pairing with this mod - not sure what you would recommend.
I think most of the issues with this mod if i have many are the sprites, and the lack of a zoom feature - a realism mod you should HAVE to look down the sights for accurate fire.
But i really like this mod, i look forward to updates, and i think it's time that another tactical mod besides hideous destructor comes out like this and changes things up a bit, but not too much.
I actually whole heartly disagree on the ADS front; the mod assumes you are already in a proper stance, and the human characters have no kind of zoom function in their eyes. As for monsters, I recommend DRLA Monsters, they offer some interesting challenges to overcome while you go through levels. Just beware Nightmare Archviles!

I'm assuming you loaded a save game. The update broke saves, so you will need to start over on any ongoing games you had.

I mean, that overall quality not gonna drop drastically, but entire size can be reduced from ~102 Mb straight to ~67 Mb...
By the way, this mod is very cool, dude! Is this a successor of "Soldier Z" or just parallel project?
Also, how can i drop ammo and some medicine? I grabbed it so much that it dramatically pinned me down to the ground.
Check the on screen instructions to toggle Drop Mode and drop some of your stuff. As for its relation to Soldier Z, its kind of a spiritual sequel. Soldier Z was going to get a bunch of updates to make it harder, but I decided to turn those updates into a completely new mod instead. For whom it may concern, Soldier Z is non canon but FOTG is canon to the HODverse.
File size is something I'm not super worried about, but eventually I'll get around to optimizing the mod's size. There are a lot of redundant unused images too.
