What is this mod?
I noticed that compared to all the other guns in ME2, the Nuke Gun seems... low res. It dosn't have a lot of details. So I thought to myself "hey, what if I just port textures from ME3 to ME2? That sounds easy enough".
Well... it turns out it was more complicated than I though since the texture files looked completely different. So I had to recreate every single part piece by piece. It was a painful process and It took a looot of time so I hope you guys like it.
I added 3 different colors:
-
[]Yellow
[
]White[]Black
On top of that, every color has 3 different versions:
-
[]v. A - default
[]v. B - light rust
[]v. C - heavy rust with desaturated colors
