ok, thanks

@matthewwwww

From this mod, you can copy-paste all lines related to "envmap" from .vmt (opens with notepad) files, as well as the alpha channel(s) that need to be applied to your base texture(s) - that's all, if simplified.

matthewwwww 6 May @ 2:02pm

i know this might be a weird question but how did you make them have that shine to them? i really want to add the shininess to one of my reskins but i can't figure out how

LancerAccelerant 26 Apr @ 6:01am

Will the Female and Elite Metrocop be added into the mod like the Garry's Mod version?

BabS_23 15 Jan @ 1:20pm

wowee, so playable

󠀡󠀡 [author] 10 Jan @ 5:54pm

Yeah, but two mods shoud be enabled.

kozy 10 Jan @ 5:39pm

but will the textures of this mod stay active?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 10 Jan @ 5:07pm

@kozy

Install this crap from the required items called "[ALT] Metrocop Gadgets Glow - Improved Vanilla Combine", That should override it.

kozy 10 Jan @ 1:11pm

is it possible to disable the eye glow for the metrocops?

the evil and intimidating horse 30 Dec, 2024 @ 3:13pm

Will the dynamic eye glow be ported to EZ2?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 9:54pm

@Dr. Coomer

If it uses original materials and not recreation, then yes.

Dr. Coomer 18 Dec, 2024 @ 9:37pm

Is this compatible with trench coat metro cops?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 7:54am

But seriously, I will try to implement it, not guaranteeing that it will work out.

󠀡󠀡 [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 7:54am

@UGLIES

No, only the elite have the privilege of wearing lace-up boots.

spdt55 17 Dec, 2024 @ 2:26am

Metrocops have shoe laces textures on them, can you make the shoe laces appear in the models?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 9:45am

...and learn to read the description, please.

zenel.kodra 15 Dec, 2024 @ 9:40am

It’s working

zenel.kodra 15 Dec, 2024 @ 9:36am

I will try

󠀡󠀡 [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 8:54am

@zenel.kodra

Unsubscribe from all required items from this page.

󠀡󠀡 [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 8:52am

@Ellie

Thanks. This has been updated, it didn't work for me because I had to unsubscribe the original add-on when moving the same modified content to the custom folder. For some reason the game preferred the subscription from the workshop.

zenel.kodra 15 Dec, 2024 @ 12:30am

metro police lens are black instead of blue, can you fix that

Melperto 14 Dec, 2024 @ 10:39pm

also, regarding the prison guard undershirt, it's not a custom asset, it's from the original psd of the 2002 E3 prison guard which was leaked from Valve, you can either use that or use an already compiled texture

Melperto 14 Dec, 2024 @ 10:37pm

what do you mean mimaps dont work with BGRA8888? I've already did that myself with your stuff and works with no problem

spdt55 12 Dec, 2024 @ 7:40am

can you make the combine elite eyes animated like this mod?

unoriginal name 7 Dec, 2024 @ 9:46pm

you could ask for permission

󠀡󠀡 [author] 7 Dec, 2024 @ 8:30pm

@unoriginal name

Nah, original author will probably attack me.

unoriginal name 7 Dec, 2024 @ 4:14pm

could you add https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3366851639 to your mod? it changes the prison guards to have a yellow undershirt and also changes the prison shotgunner's eyes to match the normal shotgunner's

adidores1054 7 Dec, 2024 @ 12:48pm

@ Sorry for the late reply, but I send a friend request to you in order to add you as it

󠀡󠀡 [author] 7 Dec, 2024 @ 6:30am

@adidores1054

I'm done, add me as a co-author and I'll try to update your add-on. IDK if the workshop will allow it.

adidores1054 7 Dec, 2024 @ 2:20am

@ I'll wait until you finished it. For now, I'll upload the one made by Niatrossan

unoriginal name 6 Dec, 2024 @ 11:11pm

good stuff, also i LOVE the detail that when they die their eyes turn black, it reminds me of what mmod did

󠀡󠀡 [author] 6 Dec, 2024 @ 6:58pm

@adidores1054

It's unfinished, but eh...

󠀡󠀡 [author] 6 Dec, 2024 @ 6:49pm

@adidores1054

YES!

adidores1054 6 Dec, 2024 @ 6:23pm

Is it okay that I can upload the dirty version of your combine soldier? A user I know can't contact you due to having F2P account.

melc 5 Dec, 2024 @ 1:48pm

That's a shame. Is BGRA8888 the only way to get the desired effects?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 4 Dec, 2024 @ 7:54pm

@melc

Mipmaps don't work for BGRA8888 format for some reason.

melc 4 Dec, 2024 @ 12:47pm

If you want to easily see the difference what no mipmap does, toggle between mat_mipmaptextures 1 & 0.

melc 4 Dec, 2024 @ 12:43pm

The textures are missing mipmaps, which causes the textures to look pixelated and shimmery at longer distances. Here's how to fix this: when importing your texture into VTFedit, make sure to enable "Generate mipmaps".

great mod, keep it up.

Hero05IT4 4 Dec, 2024 @ 3:35am

Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work and have a nice day! Привет!

󠀡󠀡 [author] 4 Dec, 2024 @ 3:12am

@ Hero05IT4

Perhaps, I made a little mistake. Author cut out different skin for shotgunner for some reason. But it's still called "Grande1900's Vanilla+ Soldiers [EP2]", if that doesn't bother you.

2homezz 4 Dec, 2024 @ 3:09am

no i wasnt, it just looks the exact same

Hero05IT4 4 Dec, 2024 @ 3:06am

Where I can find it? Can u send here the link?

󠀡󠀡 [author] 4 Dec, 2024 @ 3:04am

@2homezz
You were probably expecting "super tacticool ai-upscaled HD remaster" from the vanilla patch, huh?

@ Hero05IT4
This already exists in the workshop.

@VHsigil
They have everything that is possible glowing.

2homezz 4 Dec, 2024 @ 2:28am

before: ____ after: ____

Hero05IT4 3 Dec, 2024 @ 11:12am

I suggest you to add EP2 dirt variants.

VHsigil 2 Dec, 2024 @ 4:19pm

Do you think you could make the brightly lit areas on the Metrocop like the earpieces and radio glow in the dark? And I'd also like it if the glowing eyes on the Metrocops were optional.

λGato_2134λ 2 Dec, 2024 @ 4:12pm

The sun is leaking

Melperto 2 Dec, 2024 @ 3:20pm

it seems your textures lack mipmapping, which causes the combine textures to look incredibly crusty at distances

CHICKEN JOCKEY 30 Nov, 2024 @ 3:24am

Ah, I asked because I've seen some addons float around that completely disregard the original author, this is one of the more impressive "unify" mods out there and it'd be stupid if some kid plastered it on the workshop without credit

󠀡󠀡 [author] 29 Nov, 2024 @ 9:11pm

@adidores1054

Great, but you didn't clarify in the description that for your sub-mod to work, it is necessary to move it above the priority of mine. Well, where the arrows in the menu subscriptions in the game. Just in case.
