[WOTC] Helmet Glass Fix Complete Edition

Description
***The Complete Edition changes includes Alien Hunters and Anarchy's Childrens items. See the below link for this mod which excludes these items:

Subscribe to only one version.

All the glass materials in WOTC were replaced with a more performance-optimized version which uses dithering. This is real noticeable, at least for me if I don't use FXAA antialiasing, and it looks very ugly...

You can tell the dithering happens in the before photos. You may want to open this page in a web browser to be able to zoom into the photos and see the effect.

This mod replaces the glass material of most of the Upper Face Prop and Helmet / Hat items with the vanilla XCOM 2 version of the glass material.
IMO this looks sooo much better.

There might be a performance cost when using this mod, just so you are aware.

Uninstallation of the mod should be safe.

NOTE: The mod doesn't touch any items outside of the soldier headgear. I don't know how to change the environmental glass materials anyway, I'm pretty much a modding noob. Perhaps with time and experience... :S

Good luck, Commander!

Ma lord! Good sir, is there any chance that you can help me with the base tier 3 helmets? I would like to have a matte material\texture, like on the Anarchy's Children armor, but I have no idea where to start.

Got it yeah.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer actively modding these days due to life, so I'm unable to be of much help or add to my mod.

You are correct though, this mod only targets specific items and doesn't touch anything else. Really, all that was involved was changing the path of the referenced glass material for these specific items, and making sure the game loads to edited items instead of the default ones.

Yeah that is what I am referring to. This mod only seems to change specific glass textures, and things like car windshields, windows on buildings, and modded cosmetics still aren't changed. The vanilla items look great though! I don't think I'll be able to get that mod creator to change it as the transparency is a vanilla mechanic and some people will not like having that changed.

Hey Geobeetle, not sure what you mean by compatibility? Do you mean changing the Capnbubs items? If so, I'm afraid that's something that I cannot do. You'll need to contact the authour of Capnbubs and suggest the change there
Geobeetle 14 Mar, 2022 @ 11:32am 
@Poo Sparks Do you think you can add compatibility with Capnbubs accessories? I feel that enough people use that mod to justify the effort. A million thanks if you choose to do this!

Haha all good mate i thought it wouldn't hurt to ask though lol I'm honestly surprised that no one has come up with a solution yet though considering how shit it looks lol honestly makes me want to go back to vanilla lol
Poo Sparks  [author] 27 Aug, 2021 @ 2:20pm 
@Jess I got no clue lol I haven't done any modding in years

Hi, great mod! I know the description mentions not knowing how to update the environmental glass but i was wondering if you or anyone else has made much progress on this front since its been quite a while since this mod was released? Cheers :)
Poo Sparks  [author] 7 May, 2021 @ 5:28pm 
ya sure I don't mind
