Faction Skins [Standalone][WIP]

*** Modders Resource ***

This is an archive for weapon skins, it makes no changes to the FCS and the file structure doesn't overwrite anything.

This mod provides graphic variation to some of the default weapon skins for quick visual recognition and some variation of themes so that factions or custom weapon manufacturers can be distinct.

This is a work in progress, and a back up for myself but since i've had others ask for some of the skins i thought i'd share them on bulk. The old file contains the skins that i have yet to bring upto the template standard.

I've included the template for anyone wishing to map uvs. All weapons from weapons.mod will eventually also be mapped to that template for cross compatibility.

These skins are also currently available in Trinity's Mod (Public)

Vanilla - 1->14 started to tidy up the templates of vanilla and add a slight thematic feel to each grade. - These are currently missing dedicated normals and rely on vanilla for now. (further playtesting and tweaking expected.)

Know issues:
Some weapons fit the skins better than others given how way they all share the same template.

Metal masks are currently included in *.png format due to corruption of the green channel when trying to save greyscale into *.dds

Trialling BC4 DDS variant of metalness masks but getting varied results. Using the same mask across multiple textures and some are throwing up errors while others aren't. PNG versions are safer for more consistent results for those that want that extra shine.

The use of metalness mask is purely optional, but if using then only use one format png or DDS not both. FCS drop down will need changing to PNG for files to be seen by editor.
