XenoPax Art Optimizer 3.0

Description
What if I told you that MW5's art assets weren't well-optimized, and that the game could run faster, but look... better?

This mod:

1. Makes 'mechs look nicer, while running faster, through changes to shaders (the software that draws them on the screen), using better texture maps, etc.

2. Improves the overall aesthetics of 'mechs, by making them feel used but cared-for.

3. Improves several Hero skins to give them the super-custom looks they were intended to have.

4. Includes some custom skins, with more coming.

5. Fixes some other low-level issues w/ the game's art, generally improving performance.

Running 42's Mechs of Beauty? Put this mod above it, in your load order.

Generally compatible with most mods. Won't work with anything that says it messes with 'mech Material settings or shaders.

Oh nono, I want it on MORE skins with MORE glow colors lol. I just wanted to make sure if its intended behavior, as i've been having weird AF, seemingly unrelated issues with my client.

@Kamikaze_Lllama sorry if i came across harsh im my message, i have no idea how people do these mods and ive no experience in it myself so i am very appreciative of people doing stuff like this. I do love the "glow" effect cockpit you have done on the Crucius Lancers colour scheme and wish that was available for more colour schemes :) I do hope more people like yourself keep doing stuff for this game as i love the Battletech universe and i just really enjoy playing this game

Probably the cockpits could be "fixed" by running a mod that resets the cockpit glass styles. I think this is the feature most people complain about, and I've considered getting rid of it; I thought it was neat,but nobody else does, lol. I just haven't had any time to spare for modding MW5 since my little game found a publisher and I've been working on nothing else.

Hi there, i was wondering if there was away to "fix" the cockpit glass oddness that happens with this mod? love the look of the mechs etc with the new effects but the cockpit glasses go multi-coloured with a odd texture to them. Is there any way to revert them back to the game-standard gold colour without having to stop using the mod.

Maybe i'm not reading correctly, but am i understanding that the custom cockpit glass colors are tied to some skins, and are fixed to that color?

This mod causes a problem with the Wolverine II Razer skin.When the mod is active the Razer skin disappears, in its place is a second "Default" skin.

VERY CLEAN look and somehow much more defined and much less lag!!

My mistake! I spoke too soon. I think it was the vonBiomes mod that was making everything very dark and weirdly and overly vivid.
Kamikaze_Llama  [author] 6 May, 2024 @ 6:58pm 
@Bullwinkle: That's weird. I don't think it messes directly w/ the Dropship at all; IIRC I looked at that and didn't do it, because the Dropship is a big, complicated mess, lol. Are you sure you don't have any other mods that touch that?
Bullwinkle 29 Apr, 2024 @ 5:39am 
Quick question for anyone who may know: this mod made my dropship bay and cockpit unbearably dark when going into missions. Is this changing the way shadows are rendered, and is there a way to tweak it so it's not so dark?
