About this mod

A full retexture of my fav heavy pistol in me3 : The M-77 Paladin !

Requirements
Permissions and credits
BLACKOPS MODS

"BlackOps" Retexturing is a theme i decided to embrace for most of my ME3 mods. The spirit is : sobriety, class, tactical features, stealth/dark, "realism" in a way and no "power rangers" multi-color anymore. If your eyes love it, you might found other mods i did on the same theme by writing BlackOps in the research bar.

DESCRIPTION

After the Harrier job, i now propose you the Paladin M-77 of the same family. I really love that sound it makes, you can actually feel its power. That's why this is my fav. I hope this will please you ! 

Note that, Paladin & Carnifex (and even m-11 suppr) got almost the same texture file. You could do a twist to give your carnifex this "skin" but please keep in mind these 2 assets doesn't have the same texture file array : Carnifex have a less of specs/alphamap texture possibilities, you can't make materials shine on it like for the paladin & these infos will be lost, resulting it will be matt almost everywhere. Also your could not have the same color tones, and for sure the "M-77P" writings would be off.

The weapon is willingly not "shiny" anymore. For me this light bouncing means a metal feature ... and today you hardly see metal on real weapon (except barrel and small internal pieces ofc) because of the bad heating property of the steel, ABS is now popular and is a far better material for weapon's shells. I think even in 200 years with flying ships they would still care about heat dispersion with weapons more powerful which produce even more energy.

Im sorry to say in advance i won't take any other weapon retexture request (or modification) since im doing it for myself before everything else. Making this takes some crazy time and can't just do it on a weapon i don't care.

CONTENT SUMMED UP

-Complete new colors arrangements (Dark grey)
-Multiples tones of different steel to gain a more realist aspect. 
-Bouncy light kept on polished steel (mouth, trigger, small pieces)
-Bouncy light lowered on weapon shell
-Bouncy light almost canceled on leather handle so this part can be matt and dark
-New White Paint patterns to match my other weapon mods
-New Gun serial number and factory name
-Security button logo's taken from M4A1 rifle
-New screws realistic appearance (you won't see that very much but hell why not try)
-Some realist Weariness added everywhere
-Dark tones balanced so you still can see details in game in obscurity
-Led light altered to be closer to yellow-orange
-Updated specular / alphamap file
