Remove Glow on Beneathacle

Description
FEATURES:
+ Removes the emmisivle glow on underwater barnacles (officially named beneathacles)
+ Very slight color adjustments to further blend into the environment
+ Applied anistropic filtering

Now that beneathacles don't glow unnaturally, videogamishly green xen waters have become increasingly more scary to venture through, making you actually pay attention to where you're swimming :')


INSTALLATION:
It should work by simply subscribing.
In case it doesn't, after the file is downloaded after subscribing, locate Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2801386176 and copy the beneathacleglowremover.vpk into Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\custom and you're good to go. In case there is no custom folder, create one. It is recommended to primarily use the /custom method for mod installations as it's more fail-proof and easier to organize.

Like and subscribe if you approve :)

Light in this case removes the element of surprise, therefore it doesn't make sense for it to exist on this creature. It is as if a hunter has an inverted camouflage pattern with respect to the environment in which he is located.

This mod makes the creature retain the pure essence of the original barnacle.

How does it look unnatural?

@that snark guy In my humble opinion I do believe it's too hand-holdy this late in the game, as barnacles were also meant to blend into the environment partially. The fact that it's supposed to be bioluminescence is obvious, but it's still very unnatural looking both above and below the surface. They're often placed in bulks as well, cramming up a lot of contrast into the screen. It is ultimately preference, which is why modding and workshop support is such a wonderful thing.

The beneathacle's glow isn't unnatural. It's just bioluminescence. The glow was most likely added to the beneathacle's model so it's easier for players to see them in the water, thus making things less frustrating.

I think the reason why the Beneathacles have a glow effect in them is to alert the Player of their presence so they don't by mistake get grabbed out of nowhere.

Addon is still good! :steamthumbsup:

Yeah, lights didn't make sense at all on those barnacles. Thanks for the "fix".
