The problem with removing the loot glint is that it will be difficult to tell the difference between the loot and the junk because they look pretty much the same. (so far I've only played the demo)


I've managed to reduce the loot glint by half the size.

Before it looked like a 'Hey I'm a piece of loot..look at me, look at me!!'
and was the size of a 'powerup' from GTA3 or something

By halfing the size of the glint (not the texture, but the actual glint) it looks more like a loot-twinkle.

Looks better when its animated.
I'm going to try making it about 30-40% the normal size- but the alpha needs work because you can see the edges of the texture.

Myagi, I can host your patcher too, just mail it to me.

(Great work for the frob and trails removing!!
I have been tweaking T3 for a whole weekend, but these were missing !)

Thanks for hosting opportunities. I'm having a look at demo compatibility for the trails and glint right now, will send out a version when that (hopefully) works

I tried to look at the image, but the link wouldn't work for me.

Also, used Myagi's patch to get rid of arrow trails...unfortunately, it's now almost impossible to tell where your arrow goes if it misses. Sometimes when I'm shooting at things far away I like to know if I'm aiming too high or too low. Any way to just modify the colour or intensity of the trail, rather than eliminating it altogether?

Or give the actual arrow a more visible texture, like light grey feathers or somesuch, as they were in T1/2.
