ShinyTrem(v12)

[Odin]

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: 12
You can get the mod here.

You can play this mod on the PureTremulous servers.

This mod can be completely toggled: r_detailTextures enables or disables the mod.

Wow, this game looks alot sexier with this mod on!

Good job, keep up the good work, you got me hooked.

[Syntac]

Epic. Nice work, Odin.

[mooseberry]

Very nice work!

[Odin]

If anybody uses a client with bloom, the effect is even better.

By the way, my server is back up.

Also, the ATCS modification is only there as a test(you can disable the effect on ATCS with r_detailtextures 0), I will hopefully bring more of the default maps into the mod sooner or later.

[Odin]

Version 4 up, now includes Niveus and Arachnid2.

UPDATE: Version 5 up, now is completely compliant with r_detailTextures.

Looks nice
Just tried Arachind 2 on your server, found a missing texture:

[Odin]

Which one is it?

Texture issues fixed(damn Windows clients and their literal jpg/tga referencing!) in version 6, which is now up.

The visual result is minimal, at the expense of an added shader stage, resulting in decreased performance.

Good idea, good start, but the execution needs some work.

[CreatureofHell]

Here is Lava with the sentences of doom!

[ACKMAN]

.... I went to ur server and i didnt see anything ... its all default

[fingered banana]

It is hard to notice( you can notice the performance change but I am not talking about it)

It was not intended for everyone. Admittedly the effect is much more prominent with bloom enabled. There is literally no other way to do it(and I wouldn't have it any other way to be honest).

1280x1024x32
2x Anisotropic Filtering
4x FSAA
r_bloom_sample_size 512
r_bloom 1
r_detailtextures 1

I'm not behind my own box at this moment, so I can't exactly tell, but I have also significantly lowered the crappy overbright look that r_bloom 1 gives you with its default settings.

No need to defend yourself, just giving some positive feedback, really. The effect is certainly noticeable, and thankfully also not too obtrusive, but the effect is so generic that it barely adds anything to my personal experience. Nice little 'freak' mod anyway, beats the shit out of crappy gameplay raping shit .

zomg zomg zomg now add a blaster that's 49593694350435804938 per shot and oh the alinz are too harz i want alienz to be able to shoot      !!111oneoneone!

I haven't downloaded it yet, but it does seem much, much better in theory (and most likely in practice) than most of the 'mods' out there now.

1280x1024x32
2x Anisotropic Filtering
4x FSAA
r_bloom_sample_size 512
r_bloom 1
r_detailtextures 1

You just wait until I get MY 8800 repaired, THEN YOU'LL SEE!! Or I will. Or something.

Good job, Odin!

[epsy]

.... I went to ur server and i didnt see anything ... its all default

you need to download the pk3 yourself then restart trem

[ACKMAN]

Did that

[Odin]

Make sure r_detailtextures is set to 1 and look closer. It's more noticeable to some than others(I can see it just fine without bloom, in fact).

[Odin]

Version 7 is out.

Highlights:

• Environment map on all Alien player models, as well as Human metal textures(shoulderpads, helmet, bsuit, etc), and structures.
  
• Fixes for r_detailtextures.

[Odin]

Version 8 is out.

Haha, two releases in one day. Oh well, this one was worth it.

Highlights:

• Environment map on most world surfaces(metal textures).
  
• Nexus6, Karith, Tremor, and Titan(used in Tremor) shaders now shiny-fied.

Your telling me I got v7 on the same day V8 was released? Damn.

[Odin]

Version 9 released.

[Amanieu]

What's new in v9? A changelog will motivate people to upgrade

[Odin]

I changed the envmap so it was clearer on some maps.
I fixed a few issues here and there.

[amz181]
