Description

From the author, in the original language.

A darker, cleaner and lighter-on-the-GPU look for Deadlock, made for weak PCs and for people who find the default map too bright and cluttered.

WHAT IT DOES

- Pure black sky (all sky variants)

- Removes the big blue / amber / green light cones and glows hanging above the city (Patron, Shrine, base and street glow particles)

- Removes shop, hotel, neon and street signs, and lamp bulbs

- Removes the vortex / funnel effects and the Patron / Shrine ambient FX

- Cleans up the Hideout (props, clutter, ambient particles)

- Darker world overall, while keeping the game's colors (not a gray-only look)

- Flattens large textures to cut VRAM and loading cost

WHAT IT KEEPS

All gameplay effects stay: abilities, bullets, health packs, rejuvenator, power-ups, soul jars, spirit orbs, zip lines, urn, rift, boss attacks and telegraphs.

TWO VERSIONS (use only ONE at a time)

1) Vanilla-colors version: keeps the game's own materials and lighting, only darkened. Closest to the original look.

2) Flat / Potato version: flat, unlit materials using the real average color of each surface. Lowest GPU cost. Brightness is tuned to be dark but readable.

NOTES

- A game update can break or reset parts of this mod.

- Some effects are particles (r_drawparticles 0 hides them all), this mod only removes the ambient ones.

- Feedback welcome: if something gameplay-relevant disappeared or something still glows, tell me where (a screenshot helps) and I will fix it.
