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.

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.
