Also known as: Top #1 moddb add-on, changes the glass mask textures into new better quality ones.
DISCLAIMER
Since lots of people in the comment are mistaking this add-on for a new feature or a work of space engineering, I want to clarify this: I didn't do anything else other than re-drawing the textures from scratch, in better quality. I don't know jack shit about shaders and I just make textures.
The glass shader was already a base Anomaly feature.
DESCRIPTION
This add-on changes the mask_nm_x.dds (1-10) that control the mask glass effect and the cracks that show up on the screen when your helmet gets damaged. The vanilla textures were very low quality (specially the peripheral condensation drops) and the compression shittified everything even more, so i decided to remake them. Now it should be in better quality (the overall effect should be more tridimensional and less flat) and the damage is generally more visible so that the last two or three damage levels make it really difficult for the player to see anything, forcing him to repair the helmet asap.

Changelog:
11.10.22 - Improved the texture quality. Removed the ugly curved lines at the corners of the screen, in proximity of the glass curve. I also removed all the additional dirt effect because it caused lots of graphical inconsistencies and reverted back to one simple unique version, so no FOMOD needed anymore.
6.10.22 - FOMOD implemented and added a "no dirt" variant
5.10.22 - Release
(buried)
Reserved.
That preview made me laugh for a minute, anyway, nice addon
OMG, nice reflection in that gun too
That's not part of this add-on though.
Will this work with your masks and navs?
noice!
Thanks
Awesome Crêpe !
Thanks!
Goog Job
Thanks!
My question is on the high detailed cubemaps on the walther, is it Majestic weather or Enhanced shader with new cubemaps? or maybe something else entirely?
Nice mask reflections though, I dig the quality work.
i use majestic weather and a wip version of es that is not available on moddb that has improved pbr; of course i can't share wip stuff sorry. Hopefully kennedith will update his mod on moddb one day
Nice, cubemaps seem much better with that wip update, looking forward to try it.
Kinda reminds me in Metro
Love it
Wow, thanks!
thanks
this addon = how to aquire legend status
question: how long have you been working on this mate?
took me longer to make the preview image tbh
Hey i've seen you update the mod, what did you change ?
Amazing mod thank u!
Thank you! I added the fomod installation and a less dirty variant. I included the changelog in the description now, thanks for reminding me.
After a day of using this mod, my immersion levels are skyrocketing!
Thanks
Whoa, you got an awesome fire shader. Do you mind sharing how to also get it? Will try addon as well, looks cool!
that's just CinematicVFX i guess
I see. So, by far, an awesome mod you've done! Looks and works just great.
How do you get this to work? I copied it manually in gamedata and through MO2 and I don't see any difference in game :(
This is a feature that is already present in Anomaly. I just re-made the textures in better quality. I have no idea if it's for DX9 and higher (DX10,DX11). So if you're on DX8 maybe that's why
I use dx11, but if it's a feature how can I enable it if you don't mind?
to test it type r2_mask_control 1,0,0,0 with 1 being the base status, you can type until 10
or just get some damage to your helmet lmao
Yeah bro it didn't work when I typed it in or took damage and my armor was half condition, so do you think something like the new expedition or other hud/ screen effects could be conflicting with it?
I'm going to pay you money if you stop using Expedition.
Please. Use EFP or GAMMA (i said EFP before so people don't suspect anything) so you can play a mantained modlist with a decent support and not some buggy blue tinted shitpack made by a schizo that only shows up to update and never solves any of his user's problems. Trust me
Understood lmao will do thanks bro
So.....Will it work with Gamma? or future EFP?
Cuz it look no difference to me unless it a "fix" the base to all helmets.
Which If you take ANY damage it just break the glass and your not doing combat for you can see **** when you have a damaged mask
There's no reason this shouldn't work with GAMMA or "future" EFP, or even past EFP, or EFP of another universe. It's literally just 10 textures that don't conflict with anything made so far by other people.
To be clear, i'll repeat myself again: I didn't do anything else other than re-drawing the texture from scratch, in better quality. This is not a new feature. The shader that is responsible for the glass cracks to show and the transparent effect is a base anomaly feature.
The visibility is meant to be compromised when high damage is taken, so that you repair or replace your helmet as soon as possible.
So there is some weird side texture error on the mask overlay.
I can't really explain it I use DX11 and 1920x1080 res.
Would that affect anything?
I can post screenshots if you would like to take a look ? :)
The mask glitch overlay is only on the right and left edges of the screen going vertically.
Here is the weird texture error or whatever it is on the mask. Its much worse when I move.

honestly? i have no ******* idea bro lmao
All good man :) Thank you for the reply.
I will push a fix for a thing tomorrow, maybe it will fix your stuff too hopefully, if not I will ask around
Lost Alpha has the coolest overlay. Not just 2D cracks and such.
If you can bring this in, that would be cool.
actually my cousin in japan implemented it, but i can't show you
but... whats so cool about ladc overlay? i can't spot a single difference between anomele and ladc overlays.
it's 2d, just different textures
omg the mod looks awesome
Dude, you win the jackpot. I give you right now 10 fvcking points for that.
Many, many thanks.
Thank you for the points haha
Здравствуйте)есть вопрос по аптечкам)

Thanks so much for the update :). I am going to test it now and see how it goes.
Hope your bugs are solved
Thanks man I checked out the new update and everything seems to be just fine now.
