(Vanilla Reshade) Valve Guns Texture/Reflection Fix

Description
A "remake" per say of my old gun reflection which aims to have realistic visuals, this mod uses valve existing textures to their fullest potential giving all the guns a similar treatment and if said assets were missing, they were re-created in the same way Valve has.

Compatible with re-textures but not recommended due to exponents relying on vanilla diffuses, creating oddities in the reflections. You can download this mod and expect no conflict unless vanilla VMTs are replaced

What makes it worthwhile over other mods? The lack of reliance on user generated $bumpmap for most weapons which can create unwanted displacements, this instead re-uses the original diffuse alpha channels for reflection which really reduces filesize greatly while fixing the excessive use of env_map which creates this unusual glowing effect in dark areas.

There is a video up however I would recommend to see in-game for yourself so that you don't miss out on what it really is depending on the settings.

Find the version for melees here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2772145737

I will not be doing other objects since most of their assets are really bad to work with, you're better off getting yog's reborn stuff.

good

It definitely will because those probably use the same files and more to work.

Question: would this conflict with this mod https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3349056721 ? From what i understood yes, but i'm not sure

You're gonna have to unpack and manually do it yourself, no way to do this without removing the whole thing.

any possible way you could update your mod so it doesn't conflict with this spas? https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3348802226 it uses a vmt to add glowsights

@yoru -- I've updated it now so it should no longer conflict with this add-on.
dingus 2 Oct, 2024 @ 9:31am 
It's because this add-on now includes textures for TLS weapons as does my add-on. If you just make sure mine's above this in the add-on load order or subscribe to mine after it'll be fine :health:
dingus 2 Oct, 2024 @ 9:23am 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll investigate why
yoru 1 Oct, 2024 @ 7:14pm 
god dammit ding dingus, now the addons are in red
Shao  [author] 1 Oct, 2024 @ 7:13pm 
Yes because Dingus had me fixing the files. It should be the same.
