[CW 2.0] Colourable Optic Reflections (CoReflectOptics/CRO)

Description
WARNING
NOTE
MUST READ
In order to make this mod work, download this FIRST before you download the other required mod.
(For idiots: First Colourable Optic Reflections, then Customizable Weaponry 2.0, not the other way around)
Yes, Gmod has a load order, just like Beth does.

Never liked that dull and boring optic reflection you get on your sights, like the Holosight, Aimpoint or NXS?

Well then, this may just "fix" you up.

This addon will make optics with a lens be colourable, with 6 presets ranging from red, blue, green, purple, orange and white.

You can set ANY colour you want for these reflections.
Just go to "Utilities" and find "Optic Reflections", this should be the menu for it.
"Idle" is simply the colour that will appear when you are not aiming.
"Aiming" is the colour that will appear when you aim the gun.
Be wary that when you aim, the reflections will be very dim. This is of course a necessity. (Reflections will not even appear on sniper scopes).

You can actually set the colour higher than 255, but this will not be saved in the preset.

This will affect the following sights;
EoTech 552
Aimpoint
S&B Short Dot
Trijicon ACOQ
NXS
Micro T1
Kobra

This will NOT affect the following sights;
PSO-1
(The reason is simply because it's only used on one gun and you don't even see the lens)

Of course, this mod is sadly not really "glitch-free".

The first problem would be if you're in a very badly made map with terrible cubemaps. If that is the case, the scope will look extremely reflective, shiny and such. And if the map has no cubemaps, then there's no scope shaders. To fix it, you can ask the author to do that, or just completely delete the map (do that especially so if the author does nothing about it).

Do you have a problem and you don't know what to do, even though you did try to fix it yourself and read the description? Ask me in the commentaries, but no "not work" "not work help" "wtf not work noob" or any of that crap. They will be ignored...And if I'm in a terrible mood, I'll probably just downright insult you.

I'm warning you, Spy is a cute lil' girly girl compared to me.

Credits go to their respective owners.

Big thanks to KnifeKitty, or LazyKitty, for making the .lua script and matproxy needed for this menu.

That is actually weird, but then again, I don't know how Steam Cloud sync really works.
Maybe there's a broken config in it.

I would like to point something out, while this addon is broken, it seems to actually work when the game is not synced with Steam Cloud

He has his Steam profile open for the public if I remember right, here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/knifekitty

Thnx. how can i ask?

Oops, forgot to say this add-on was broken.

I can't even fix it myself, you'll have to ask Knife Kitty for that since the problem is lua-related.

Don't see anything, also not many guns have a scope that allows the optic to change color. :(
