HDHQ Overhaul - Textures - Lighting - Environment - Vehicles

As this has been such a long project I have spoken to many people over the course of it. Instead of listing people and risking forgetting someone I'll say this.

If Ive spoken to you about anything unity/7days over the last few months, I thank you. For being there to bounce things off, or your advice. Thanks.

HDHQ Contains:

Core Lighting and Texture changes

OPTIONAL MODLETS

BIOME OVERHAULS

BIOME PARTICLE EFFECTS

BIOME PLANTS

ADDITIONAL ITEMS

ADDITIONAL GUN SKINS

For A17 I redid all the terrain textures as necessary to bring into line with the new art work the TFP have created. I feel Ive achieved a much closer tie to the vanilla textures this time around.

Other changes include Water and Grasses.

More changes will be following soon.

I currently still can not get access to the block textures. All block textures are vanilla and will remain so until I have time to rebuild the array (lots of work) or TFP provides a way to sideload

Redone Lighting

Better Reflections

Seamless Biome Transitions

Improved Stealth

The lighting for A17 has been reworked. A great deal of time has been spent to attempt to maintain a global style and colour palette while keeping individual biomes and weather distinct.

• []The differences between Reflections on and off have been minimised.

  []The world is now much more vibrant, saturated, contrasted.

  []The Lighting now matters more. Direction and intensity all matter.

  []Biomes Seamless Transition between each other as you move through the world. This is particularly great for RWG worlds.

  []Clear nights have moonlight which is clean and bright. Cloudy nights have a muted moonlight. Rain and Snowfall nights have zero moonlight.

  As each weather state and its intensity transitions your stealth meter will decrease. Because of the way lighting works in vanilla, the opposite is true.[]Reflections also get a boost from the new lighting. As such you can turn some settings down if you run reflections and still have better quality than vanilla (imo).

  You will be able to REMOVE YOUR RESHADE PROFILES you may have applied, only needing to keep it for Sharpness or AA injections.

  Further to reflections. These and certain vanilla block textures in combination will/can cause severe fps loss spikes around buildings. My only advice is to run with reflections off until it is fixed, or I get access to block textures.

  Real Forests

  Biome Overhaul Packs

  ---

  Real forests are finally here!

  To achieve this I had to leverage new features of 2018. 2 as well as make all new vegetation for all biomes.

  I have released these as BIOME OVERHAUL MODLETS - 2 Separate packs to date.

  • []Forests Obscure Zombies, and create dark patches around trees zombies like to hide in.

    []Exploration is now more important than before. You will need to get above the canopy in forest areas to scout locations, landmarks and other players bases. Its possible to get turned around in the forest. Making roads, runways and other thoroughfares will be key to faster travelling.

    []You can hide in the trees from vultures, unless they find a path to you...

    []The density of the forest however, will work against you in PVP. Clearing space to build will reveal your location to other players who are scouting from mountain tops or gyro's. The trees provide cover to attackers who seek your loot.
