Immersive Glow* v1.0.1 [SPOILERS]

Description
Immersive Glow* for some of the
illuminated materials in Entropy : Zero 2


    ⚠ CAUTION: There may be spoilers here!




▼ Version(s):
  • This workshop addon was created in version "v1.3.1" of Entropy : Zero 2,
    and was recently re-tested using version "v1.5.5".

  • The current version of the Immersive Glow addon is "v1.0.1" (Hotfix 01).



▼ | 01 | Short Description:

A relatively small collection of modified materials,
intended to streamline the tint of some of Entropy : Zero 2's glowing textures.

Custom-made replacements for a few sprites seen in EZ2,
with updated visuals, are included as well.

This project was inspired by Vizzys' "Fake Tree Sway" workshop addon.

( ! ) Some of the content shown may only be accessible via console command.

The content of this addon may or may not be considered lore-friendly.

▼ | 02 | Sprites:

Custom-made replacement materials were created for this addon
to improve the visual appearance of a few glow sprites in the mod.

The edges of the original textures these materials
are designed to replace can be visible in-game, affecting immersion.

The included sprites should correct this to a degree.

See image #5 on this tab for a comparison
with and without the Immersive Glow addon installed.

Though these custom materials try to emulate the appearance
of the originals, they are not exactly the same.

Check out the "Included Content" discussion
and scroll down a bit, to see which sprites are affected.

▼ | 03 | Spoilers:

Some of the information here may be considered as such.

Please keep this in mind when you click through the images
and read the information on the pages of this addon.

Especially if you have not finished the story
or encountered the NPCs / other content shown
and would like to experience them for yourself.

where lighting conditions and environments are different,

Thank you for the info.

The file "glownomespit.vmt" has been removed from the addon's directories
in the recently released version "v1.0.1" (Hotfix 01).

Reduced the amount a bit,
though they are there for a reason.

The description is still work in progress.
