Better reflective tube weapons

describe:

This mod does the following:

• Replaced all pipe weapon specular maps with brighter pipe weapon specular maps, thereby increasing overall reflectivity
• Use the Pipe Weapon Color Palette for darker base metal colors and enhanced metal reflections
• Replace all material BGSM files with files that force higher environment mapping

This mod does not do any of the following:

• Better diffuse or normal maps (it should work for HD reprints etc.)
• Changes any statistics regarding pipe weapons - it is purely a visual mod

I recommend getting a texture replacer for the pipe weapon's wood parts. The optional file in Brown to Gray Pipe Weapons is my choice.

compatibility:

Will override mods that change piped weapon reflectivity or color via palette.

Should be compatible with HD retexture mods and mods to replace the pipe weapon wood texture.

Known issues:

Sometimes, randomly, certain pieces won't reflect and will just appear as a dull, dark metal. Don't know what caused it.

Standard procedure. If you are new to installing mods, watch this (manual installation) or watch this (NMM installation).
