[Feature request] Possibility to disable glow of dropped weapons/money #441

What should happen

Fusion fix should have a setting to disable the immersion breaking item glow of dropped weapons and money.

Checklist

Nah. It's a staple of the GTA series.

koboltzz commented 7 months ago

Sorry, but that's not true. In the early '00s, it was still normal to add a glowing effect to dropped items in almost every game. Over time, all other franchises have deviated from this.

GTA IV in particular is the part with a focus on a very realistic presentation. No jetpacks, no tank control, boaty car controls with long braking distances, etc.

Red Dead redemption 2 doesn't have the glowing either.

According to your argument, the feature request should be that dropped weapons should rotate again on the floor like in GTA VC/SA. Even that rotating effect was too ridiculous for rockstar so they dropped that effect in IV.

This whole thing is not really in scope for FusionFix, but we could have a separate mod that gets rid of the red glow around, and instead either give the weapons a white outline around their edges (like Max Payne 3) or give them a slight glint (like in GTAV and RDR2).

All I said is that it was a staple of the series. Even GTA V has flashing on its pickups. Not that deep.

pretty sure theres standalone mods doing that

Nope, there certainly isn't one. As a sideeffect of 'pickup 2.0' script you can only disable weapon glow, but that's not the main purpose of this script. And killed people still drop glowing money. Zolika's Trainer for the old 1.0.4.0 version had a feature to disable both, but that doesn't work in CE edition.
