📋 About This Mod
Ever had trouble seeing those monochrome vending machine codes in the Sierra Madre? No?
Well... I have bad eyesight, so I made this anyway.
This mod replaces the standard holotape model of the vending machine codes to a custom keycard model with glowing circuitry (it's using Big Mt. tech, don't think about it too much).
Textures are based on 1k upscaled from the base game, with my little tweaks (including a nifty logo, if you zoom in enough to be able to see it).
Install with your favourite mod manager.
Should work with any mods that don't edit the vending machine notes in any way.
If you'd like to use this mod in your mod and/or mod compilation, drop me a message beforehand so I can take a look at what you want to do with it.
Also crediting me would be appreciated, thanks.
