Version v0.9.4 | Last Updated
1 week ago
Visual Fixes attempts to fix various material and model incorrections and inconsistencies with various files in the game, at the same time making assets look nicer as well. This mod edits materal_config files, .textures files, .object files and rarely .model files.
It's intention is to be the little brother to [The Fixes](https://modworkshop.net/mod/23732), where instead of fixing lua files, this edits XML files and object files.
This mod may and will conflict with other mods, i'm not really sure what exactly but just be weary when downloading mods that this might interfere.
**Material_config fixes:** (Open images in a new tab to properly view changes.)
||
Federale Bulldozers uses their body textures for their plate gibs. This is fixed by telling the config to read their helmet texture instead.
The Medic's helmet torch has a missing material on the tip, when the Medic is outlined this goes away. This is fixed by replacing their non-contour config with the contour version.
The framing in the glass is a completely seperate material and is not mentioned in the config file at all. This is fixed by creating a new material in the config.
The Murkywater Laptop doesn't have a material assigned to the display. This is fixed by copy/pasting the material data from the Boiling Point Murkywater Laptop config.
This chandelier has a shadow plane underneith the model however it uses the wrong render template to display it. This was fixed by changing the render template for the shadow plane.
These windows display a set cubemap rather than the current enviroments cubemap. This was fixed by changing the cubemap to be the active enviroments cubemap.
Same as above, these stairs are using the wrong cubemap that doesn't reflect the other reflections the map uses. This was fixed by changing the cubemap to be the active enviroments cubemap.
These doors were missing the "gsma" files required for the doors to properly show Gloss, Specular and Metalness and used a incorrect render template.
Generic Security Doors:
Additional Fix: These doors now use the correct materials on their gibbed versions when using shaped charges. And now properly reflect the maps current Cubemap.
Lab Door on Big Oil:
Security Doors on Boiling Point:
Doors on Alesso Heist:
Added a opacity fade for various shop exteriors, close up the glass is transparent but after a distance away it'll become opaque.
(This was originally a launch PAYDAY 2 thing, it's reason is to stop shops from randomly disappearing after a certain distance)
Fixed the windows on Big Bank displaying incorrectly once shattered, was missing a material completely for the shattered version of the glass.
Restored two guards not wearing green outfits on Big Bank.
Fixed this building outside of the offices in First World Bank.
Fixed Yufu Wang's contours.
Fixed Sosa's NPC weapon having no material for the s_body, which caused the model to appear with broken materials.
Fixed these bottles inside the barber shop in Mallcrasher having the incorrect UV's.
Fixed AA12 normals on the plastic part of the magazine.
Fixed the Concussion Grenade using the wrong materials. Which causes the grenade in first person not appear properly in your hand.
Fixed the Viper Grenade appearing as a missing material once thrown.
||
**.Object fixes:** (Open images in a new tab to properly view changes.)
||
Made lampposts on Branch Bank and various other heists have shadows, also gave Signs on lampposts shadows
Fixed a storefront not correctly displaying windows, by default nothing is there. (On the right there's a slight reflection of the cubemap on the big glass)
Disabled the ability for the store behind this wall to cast shadows, which caused a huge shadow to appear on said wall.
Gave this security room guard his hat back.
||
**.Environment fixes:** (Open images in a new tab to properly view changes.)
||
Toned down the Ambient Falloff on San Martin to reduce all textures suffering from being super shiny. The Shininess is more noticible with Fuglore's mod [here.](https://modworkshop.net/mod/30186)
Gave GO Bank a toned down Cubemap to reduce reflections. This map has a weird cubemap that makes things uber shiny for some reason.
Toned down the Ambient Scale Falloff on Black Cat, no longer giving everything a blue shine.
Slightly increased the effect scale in Boiling Point so effects from impacts and weapons aren't pitch black.
||
**.Model fixes:** (Open images in a new tab to properly view changes.)
||
Fixed the apartment on Slaughterhouse not having transparent windows and not having materials correctly assigned.
Made the Tuxedo weights consistent, basically makes the cuffs of the sleeves bend.
Attempted to remove clipping with forearms on the Winter Uniform.
Fixed very obvious smoothing errors on the AR Speedpull Magazine.
Improved normals on this interactable gold bars you can find in various deposit boxes.
||
Or alternatively, check the changelogs! (Since i'm lazy to make images for these sometimes.)

**Conflicts:**
* [DX11 Shaders Fix ](https://modworkshop.net/mod/14938)- Whenever an update comes out sometimes materials are displayed incorrectly with that mod installed, if that's the case if you happen to have DX11 Shaders installed please make sure if it's either Visual Fixes fault or DX11 Shaders fault.
* [No Forced Mip Values](https://modworkshop.net/mod/34949) - This mod edits a *bunch* of material_config files that Visual Fixes also touches so there's bound to be conflicts. I would recommend to see what files conflicts and delete the corresponding in either Visual Fixes or No Forced Mip Values.
* Optimized World - This mod was deleted from ModWorkShop, but please be weary for those who still have it installed. (I'd recommend to uninstall it to begin with)
Mods that changes Map Environments - This is a low hanging fruit here, just be safe.
If you think something is conflicting with this mod, double check the mods and this mods files to see if they're the same.
