Vurt's Organics / Goo - Improves the appearance of various organics in game. Also has optional weapon rebalancing and MiniHUD. Kyu's Weapon FX - Adds enhanced graphical effects to weapons, such as smoke/heat distortion leaving the barrel after firing. Recommend using with JMP Jack's Hires Weapons with player hands to give two handed weapons a proper second hand. You could use R&R&R's EMP Rifle to give the EMP Rifle a skin however. Unfortunately neither of them include replacements for the EMP Rifle or Laser Rapier. Tacticool focuses on standard and energy weapons while RocketMan focuses on heavy and exotic, however both packs include their own versions of the wrench pick the version you like the most. Tacticool Weapon Replacements and RocketMan Alternative Weapons Pack - Improves the appearance of the in game weapons, both world models and in hand models. To make compatible with Cutscene 2 Rebirth, either set to lower priority or merge it into this mod, overwriting cs2.avi. Denoised Cutscenes - These cutscenes have been upscaled to 640x480 and had the static noise from the original outdated encoding removed. Scary Monsters AI Enhancement and Enemy Health Randomizer - Can give some variation to the games archaic AI. Unfortunately only one Cutscene 2 Rebirth cutscene was ever made, but it's quality is excellent. Also checkout Cutscene 2 Rebirth, which was a project to update the in game cutscenes with the rebirth models. Recommend using it with the High Res Protocol Droids and Eldron's Midwife as Nurse Bloome. Rebirth - Increases the poly count and textures of in game NPCs. 400 - Improves the texture quality of the levels' terrain. You can also fix a duplicated texture on explosive barrels by deleting the file brl_exp.bin in the obj folder, allowing the Olfred's or SCP version to load. Yet to be included military logos are also available as well as a fix for a (at the moment) broken texture, install the texture by placing it in SHTUP's \obj\txt16 folder. Recommend using with earth dynamic/static newsky and Vurt's Water.
SHTUP - Improves the texture quality of the level objects and scenery. Recommended to be used with SCP but is not required. Portraits Fix - Fixes inconsistencies with the character portraits from e-mail and message logs. Note that SCP already integrates the fixed objects and SHTUP includes modified versions with higher res textures, but Olfred's pack is usually the most up to date load with higher priority than SCP but lower than SHTUP. Olfred's fixed objects - Fixes many small imperfections of SS2 objects: missing polys, z-fighting, incorrect texturing etc. Note that it also rebalances some weapons a revert mod is available here. There's also a yet to be included prison event fix available here.
Shock Community Patch - Fixes various bugs dealing with texture inconsistencies and general map issues.
