📋 About This Mod
Removes most rainy and wet effects from Castle Schrade without inducing the infamously bright specular reflection on puddles for other players without the mod installed.
On top of removing most of the existing rain EFXs, this mod tweaks the stage's "Wet Blend/Roughness" parameter while retaining the same weather preset for quests, removing slightly more rain effects and making the map appear drier while leaving the quest's weather preset unaffected for other players. Removing rain effects should give a modest performance boost in the Castle Schrade stage, helpful for lower-end/older/potato hardware configurations.
Optional files modifies the sky box and environmental lighting for a different look, replacing the original crimson sky box and lighting while remaining client-side only. Installing the main file prior is not required.
