This is a small mod I've been making in my free time. Basically, what it does is it overrides the default shaders to use specular lighting and shiny environment maps. Currently, all player models, weapons, and buildables have been modified. Most world surfaces will have this modification as well.
Currently shiny-fied maps:
- ATCS
- Nexus6
- Arachnid2
- Tremor
- Niveus
- Karith
Here's a screenshot of ATCS with the(old version of the) mod enabled:


If you can't notice it, try playing the mod yourself. This is really something better seen in motion(as it is a form of dynamic light).
Current version:

You can play this mod on the PureTremulous servers.
This mod can be completely toggled: r_detailTextures enables or disables the mod.
