It doesn't fix it because this is not a texture issue, that's a model issue. You can use that mod + mine and they'll work together just fine.

Both doesn't fix it sadly
Shao  [author] 25 Sep, 2024 @ 8:42pm 
Should, I have another version that does things differently if this one doesn't cut it for you.

Does this fix the horrible lighting for the ak and spas?

i tried but it doesn't worked for me, well still thanks to you
Ichiban Kasuga 27 Nov, 2022 @ 12:59pm 
oh i see, Thanks

mat_phong 0 is what you're looking for but it applies to everything.

You could try a shader fallback on the weapons vmt files to create an exception while using mat_phong 0; "GPU>=2?$phong 1" but I think the cvar overrides that anyway, never tested.

If that doesn't work you would have to remove the reflection from everything in the game but the weapons.

You could unpack the entire games vmt files and search them with notepad++ in bulk with the intend to replace any $bumpmap entire lines with $phong 0.

For specular reflection it would be $envmapmask and you'd have to replace with //$envmapmask.

Hey, just as a quick question, would this add reflections to weapons in Low Shader Settings
Im trying to find a way to just enable Weapon reflections in Low Shader settings

For those who enjoyed this mod, you may also like this new release here. It uses valve existing assets to provide faithful results for the weapons.
Ok 12 Nov, 2021 @ 5:24am 
that would be very helpful, thank you
Shao  [author] 11 Nov, 2021 @ 10:42am 
I have something like that which also takes care of their greasy hands, it's not on the workshop but if you'd like I can upload it.
Ok 11 Nov, 2021 @ 3:31am 
yo i just found out about this mod which is actually helpful but theres an issue where the hands are still reflective shader
Shao  [author] 7 Mar, 2021 @ 10:55am 
Does it look like the demo video? If not something might be wrong. If you do not like the newer version, I left a link to the old version in the description.

I love this mod, it's one of my favorites, but some weeks ago I noticed that it wasn't looking as nice as it did some months ago, Idk why, the melee mod still looks awesome but for some reaon now whenever I try to use this mod it looks like I have low shadow settings :(
Shao  [author] 5 Mar, 2021 @ 12:29pm 
@Burlington Scrote Factory Because the scope lens is part of the main texture, it's impossible to have the environmental reflection at the same time while it's disabled for the rest of the weapon. The only way to have it is if you have the entire gun using env_map as well.

@kib04060 Make sure everything is proper in your workshop file, this also doesn't modify the models, only the textures.

@davidvalerio341 I'm gonna try and see what I did, I don't remember the values being any different from final 2015 because any higher than 5 or so has barely any impact on the intensity of the reflection.
Alastor 3 Mar, 2021 @ 9:28pm 
For whatever reason, it seem this makes the military sniper's scope completely black. Is this because the texture for the sniper has the scope not as a separate texture or something?
kib04060 3 Mar, 2021 @ 9:12pm 
Yo i dont know whats going on but i subbed to the new version of this mod and my weapons dont have the updated models for some reason
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 3 Mar, 2021 @ 4:27pm 
Ah ok but the version you sent is from the date of May 19, 2020 right? But you will have the version of September 28, 2020 which was where you updated the mod for The Last Stand to that version I meant :)
Shao  [author] 3 Mar, 2021 @ 12:08pm 
I never really looked into it that much, does having RNG weapons require another workshop mod to work? Or does it work natively within the game, I've looked into the files and I see nothing that implies so. At least as RNG.
76561198193229874 3 Mar, 2021 @ 5:47am 
Is there anything else that this item needs to be compatible with TLS RNG Weapons along with AK-47 & Desert Eagle RNG?
Shao  [author] 2 Mar, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
That thing you're asking for has been deleted years ago, I don't have the first version anymore. What I gave you is the last 2015 I had before updating this. It's also the one you've been playing with.
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 2 Mar, 2021 @ 11:44am 
Is it the old version? Because I have tried it and it is the same as the current version I do not notice the excessive brightness that they had before you updated it
Shao  [author] 2 Mar, 2021 @ 4:05am 
The older version of the mod is in the description.
Shao  [author] 27 Feb, 2021 @ 2:37am 
I have it somewhere, I'll tell you when it's uploaded in the description.
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 24 Feb, 2021 @ 10:36am 
Friend could you pass me the previous version of the mod, the one that had excessive brightness, that version I liked more please :)
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 30 Jan, 2021 @ 10:50am 
Friend, could you do it because the truth is, I'm honest, I don't know how to do it and I don't want to spoil my game, I'm a new player who just joined left 4 dead 2 and I'm putting very good mods (for example, your mod) that's why it is you better do it as an update to your magnificent mod please
Shao  [author] 29 Jan, 2021 @ 2:06pm 
Yes, all you have to do is take the values of my mod and apply them to his mod in the .vmt that controls everything. You can re-use the normal maps I generated also, just make sure to add them via $bumpmap in the same .vmt files.
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 25 Jan, 2021 @ 5:53am 
\\F.A.B.// N8 Friend, do you know how I make the Reflection Fix For Default L4D2 Guns mod work with the mod The Last Stand RNG weapons (No Mixes) I mean that the mod works with the new skins of the mod
Shao  [author] 23 Jan, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
Unfortunately that would change entirely what this mod does, I can't do that without having to upload a different one, I'd suggest you check out my video in the description to figure how you can make them compatible for yourself.
PATITA DE MENUDENCIA 23 Jan, 2021 @ 8:57am 
Dude could you make it work with RNG weapons The Last Stand RNG weapons (No Mixes) please
Shao  [author] 30 Oct, 2020 @ 2:53pm 
Unless your weapon model uses the same file directories, there won't be any conflicts.
Nate 30 Oct, 2020 @ 2:42pm 
I read the description but I'm a little confused. So will this have any effect on new weapon models with new textures?
Shao  [author] 12 Oct, 2020 @ 8:50pm 
Probably $nocull that I have enabled on every weapons.
BoxOfMysteriez 12 Oct, 2020 @ 7:26pm 
This also fixes the hole in the scar model, not sure why that isn't mentioned
Nicepool 4 Oct, 2020 @ 11:16am 
this mod is the best :)
Shao  [author] 3 Oct, 2020 @ 7:21pm 
I hear you friend. I am working to make every individual weapon look great, it should be up tonight as I made the mistake of applying the setting for L4D1 weapons on everything rather than just those specifically.
Nicepool 3 Oct, 2020 @ 7:13pm 
Hey shao the update of 1 october I prefer the old one :v I dont speak english xd
Shao  [author] 30 Sep, 2020 @ 3:55pm 
I'm working on the L4D1 weapons, they have a very bad res. If I have to compromise on the file size, I will.
Shao  [author] 29 Sep, 2020 @ 12:37am 
Those 4k mods are useless memory hogs on L4D2. I don't recommend using them.
Gr8fulTed 29 Sep, 2020 @ 12:34am 
I really want to use something like this but for https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1992380203 because reflections are broken for that addon on the default pistols.
Shao  [author] 26 Sep, 2020 @ 1:25am 
Yes, there's a lot more than it seems. They added quite a few new things, I need to see and understand how it all works before updating!
Alastor 24 Sep, 2020 @ 9:24pm 
Would you be able to update this and the melee mod to support the CSS weapons and new melee weapons in the last stand update? I'd really like to continue using this mod!
Immature Spy 3 Sep, 2020 @ 4:13pm 
look im brazilian i don't know a bit of english so sorry K
Shao  [author] 2 Sep, 2020 @ 10:27pm 
For textures can work with fiddling, you would have to take out the default textures from this mod here and replace them with the ones that you want instead.

With reanims it works fine.
Immature Spy 2 Sep, 2020 @ 8:00pm 
Eyo this might sound stupid but do mods and retextures work with dis?
76561198308202769 18 Jul, 2019 @ 2:18pm 
You've realize how much this is a help right now, thank you :).
