Did you do it?

@ZED I'll probably give in and try out $Halflambert 0, see if I can get past it's occasional visual oddities.

Shame the lightwarps are gone, I actually really liked them because it puts them to "basically indistinguishable from l4d2" quality.

honestly I think either way you look at em, the refined series are wayy better than the vanilla ones by a longshot.

Saying these suck is a bit extreme imo, since I think stuff like the diffuse textures are pretty nice (Louis and Bill especially benefiting from the added detail on them)

But Despair does raise a good point on the normal maps looking kinda crunchy here and there, plus I'd also suggest trying to see how these all look with just half lambert at 0 instead of trying to replicate the effect with lightwarps

Let's be honest, no matter how I phrased it the reaction would have been same.
Nobody wants to hear their shit sucks, but someone has to say it.

@Despair you can be honest and polite. For example:

"The mod would be better off without the lightwarps, as it looks quite bad. The normal mapping is rather extreme, especially on the faces. Normal maps are very sensitive, and they look best when not going overboard. You need to be diligent in checking your work outside of HLMV, as the lighting environment is not the same as the game. You should also add some in-game screenshots."

Nobody is going to learn to improve when they are not presented with brutally honest feedback.
A hugbox does not help anyone to develop their skills.

the hero the workshop needs but not the one it deserves

Despair being a cunt as always.

I personally like these mods and they are decent for what they are but come on now despair you didn't need to come at him like that dude was legitimately trying his best with the knowledge he does have to make he wanted to make. it's not perfect by any means but it's not bad either and im sure he will continue to improve just like how all modders have started out. In my opinion they dont look bad i liked the adjustments and refinements of the survivors. The lightwarp i have to admit was a bit much maybe use those lightwarps for the heads and disable lightwarping for the bodies but other then that it looks good in my opinion especially the normal maps.

Definitely going to need to revisit these at some point. But jesus man, I haven't got any experience with material editing, I tried my best.

I don't think you have any understanding of the application of halflambert for you to be saying what you are saying in the description.
You're talking about trying to match the L4D2 style, like what are you even on about none of the L4D2 characters look anything like this.

How did you even make these normals? Did you google "generate normal map online"?Did you save them in 256x256 and stretch it back up with nearest neighbour sampling?
I could understand if you wanted to add detail to the body textures I suppose, but even then I think you've gone overboard, probably to justify these mods even existing but the default textures are already perfect.

The faces are the most busted, like did you test the mods at all?
The super curated screenshots are so disingenuous, as soon as you leave HLMV it's over.

Idk whats the big deal with this, its barely any different from the vanilla

çok iyi

yoel

helllooooo

@Samuel my bad fren, it was mod conflict, i had Zoey Ankle Fix installed. all good now

Now she is more cuter than ever

@freakyUnc is there a specific place or might you have some mods installed that are causing issues with this? Booted up No Mercy and everything seems fine.

@freakyUnc I'll see to this issue.

i found an issue my fren, i started No Mercy and the viewmodel shading/phong is too much, looks like T-1000

imagine this with the hoodie zoey skin

@Agent A38 I'll keep that in mind.

there is a really noticeable seam on her left viewmodel hand. It's probably the normal map.

Muy bueno

rest ye soul until the call of the Francis of the void returns to you once more.

@ChickenChucker96 yeah, I'll probably update these if I can improve the lightwarp. For now, I shall rest.

This is left 4 dead in 2010

my one complaint about all of these mods currently is that the lightwrap is a little bit too intense, it reminds me a bit of early TF2 with how strong the shadows are, the effect could be reduced a little.

Best Mod.

this is like if l4d2 gets ported to next gen consoles if they fuckin cooked with the texture overhaul

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@Desano I only have a basic understanding of texturing, so model edits are off limits. I'd recommend you pair this with Cuba's Jiggleboned Attachments.

@Samuels' Chili Shop That's good to know also will they have jigglebones as well for equipment?

@Desano No, but the good news is that the features of that mod are replicated here. I might make a pack that contains all the skins and source files. Who knows.

@Nameless this mod already has phong shading on her hands. Simply give this mod a higher priority over that one.

Pilot's license...REVOKED. Duhn-duhn-duhnnnnn

do the view models arms are get changed too? I noticed her arms got freckles on em :o

Excellent work as usual.

Could we one that has the jacket and pants textures of https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3308249160&searchtext=zoey+remastered ?

Hello is your refined or remade characters compatible with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968256804 (Better Survival materials) and once you're done are you thinking of making a complete pack for all remade/refined characters where u can subscribe one?

"Aw HELL YEAH, HELL, YEAH!" - Louis, 2009

Say, is there a chance you could make an Alt based off the jacket and pants colours from Zoey's concept art? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3301044097

Very well done can't wait for Francis

@ZED I thank you for telling me these issues. I don't want anything to go unnoticed.

Sorry for the hard time lmao, thank you

@ZED I seem to have accidentally enabled an unused layer in Zoey's phongmask while editing the hands. The issue is fixed now.

Hands do look better, but now the sleeves appear to have dots on them?
