A simple mod that replaces (most of) the rusted yellow metal of the pipe guns with a cleaner, silvery metal. I debated on which type of metal I should use, the shinier one or the darker one you can find it my Pipe Gun Skins mod, or if I should mix-and-match depending on the parts (eg use the shiny one for lighter/auto weapon mods and the darker version for other weapon mods), but ultimately I think this looks best. Also, the reflex sight uses the Diner Chrome texture, since I like the way it looks, but the glowing reflex sight uses the same texture as the rest of the metal. If people want I can do other version of this using different metal types, but it is very time consuming to make as I had to do individual texture swaps to almost every pipe gun mod in the game (whereas with the Skins mod I made custom swaps that were applied generally to all of the metal in each gun and added those to weapon mods, so it was faster to change a every version of each gun than it was for this mod).
There are some weapon mods/parts that still use the old rusted texture, because changing it would mess up what I felt were important details to those weapon mods, or would’ve just looked really bad. They include: Ported long/short barrels, suppressor, marksman’s stock, all scopes, and the tank/connecting metal of the Syringer.
This mod should be fairly compatable, I know it works with WFO. It should only have issues with other mods that alter the textures of the pipe guns.
Known issue: sometimes the glow sights don’t glow. This is an issue with texture replacement in general and not something I can fix. However, if can fix itself by changing the receiver you’re using. Note that changing to a different receiver and changing back to what you were using will fix it then break it again, and that making a new version of the receiver that it wasn’t working on won’t fix the issue either.
