Default Remington 870 Overhaul

Default Remington 870 Overhaul


An attempt at making the default 870 shotgun look better.Being one of
the best tier shotguns it should look mean and biffy,especially with
that long tube magazine,instead it looks like someone took a shotgun
out of a Minecraft gun mod,made some cylindric parts rounder,added an
empty tin can of sardines as chamber and called it a day.Well,that's
what made me want to work on this anyway.

The idea behind this is to remain as close as possible to the default
model.If you're looking for highly detailed,brand new models this
probably won't be for you.If however you want something that stick
with the lower detailed style of the overall game,this is maybe your
best bet for the 870.


Let's see what has been changed:
-the chamber/breech of the gun has been properly remodeled
(the shotgun barrel is actually hollow now,even thought you
won't see it ingame)
-the action bars has been remade to look more like a real 870
-the pump grooves are properly carved now,it will no longer look
plain flat on certain areas of maps (polycount remains reasonable
I hope?)
-the synthetic furniture of the pump and stock have a texture that
no longer look like plain black
-synthetic parts also have some slight reflection too,but less than
steel parts (at least that's what I intended)
-misc model/texture edits of various kinds


Reskins should work! Even thought I made some slight modifications
to the diffuse texture,I haven't messed with the UV coordinates,and
any new parts have their own respective new UV maps and textures.You
should be able to use the beta texture,and anything else that I cannot
think of.At least if you don't mind taking the time to extract the vpk
set up the new texture and move it back into your custom folder
(easier said than done,I know :x)
No changes to materials settings either.I considered lowering the
shininess but didn't do anything about it in the end.What that means
is it should be compatible with any other mods affecting the VMFs
(material lighting mod,darkel reflection fix...).
The peewee model has not been changed at all.


I hope you'll enjoy.There wasn't anything that ruined the immersion
as bad as the default beretta (wich I tweaked some times ago),but still
I felt like this one deserved some attention.I wish I could give more
love to the others shotguns,but as a wise gabeN once said,"these
things,they take time".


As usual,if you find anything wrong please comment about it,I'll see
what I can do.
