About this mod
This mod Makes All Underwater Levels of tomb raider 2 have realistic coloring. Turns things like the Blue Wood, Rocks, Sand and Metal to their natural color while having very slight hints of blue to nod to the Originals intention as much as possible.
- Permissions and credits
The only thing changed with these textures was Desaturating the blue color from ones that were overly blue. They are not grayscaled because i wanted to keep small hints of blue to simulate blue water light bounces to nod to the originals intent but use a wider color pallet.
In the original game the dark spooky environment was amazing, the original's Blue Wood, Rock, Sand and Metal would of looked fitting if Lara was underwater at Night with the only thing lighting the depths being the moon from above. But after looking at the cutscenes before and after the underwater levels all in daytime and considering how brightly lit the underwater levels are in the Remaster, you definitely would not get those strong Darker blue colors against every surface during the day.
The only thing that could not be changed here was the water texture color as its not in the Texture files for some reason.
Thanks PaulBury for helping me figure out how to texture the transparent textures.
Backup your original folder/files before replacing them
There are 2 folders pick one. Only difference is in the sand, in one the sand has the original saturation and the other sand is desaturated by 20-30%
the video of the mod has the desaturated sand in it.
Drop files in... "example" D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider I-III Remastered\2\TEX
If you try the mod and change your mind about using it or want to try the other file just uninstall and reinstall the game if your on steam. your save files wont disappear but all the other files associated with textures will go back to the games original.
