Better Reflective Pipe Weapons

Better Reflective Pipe Weapons

Better Reflective Pipe Weapons
By Billyro

Description:

This mod does the following:
-Replaces all pipe weapon specular maps with brighter ones, which increase overall reflectiveness
-Darkens the pipe weapon colour palatte for a darker base metal colour which enhances metal reflection
-Replaces all material BGSM files with ones that force higher environmental mapping

This mod does NOT do any of the following:
-Alter diffuse or normal maps (it should work well with HD retextures and the like)
-Change anything statistical about pipe weapons – it’s purely a visual mod

I recommend getting a texture replacer for the wood parts of pipe weapons. The optional file in Brown to Grey Pipe Weapons is my pick.

(Video is available in 1080p, 60fps if you want to get the best look at it!)

Compatibility:

Will overwrite mods that make changes to pipe weapon reflectivity or colour via a palette.

Should be compatible with HD retexture mods and mods that replace the pipe weapon wood textures.

Known Issues:

None that I know of.

Installation:

The standard procedure. If you’re unfamiliar with installing mods, watch this (manual installation) or watch this (NMM installation).
