Mirror Shield

Description
Because it's not a looking glass for christ sake.


Mirror knight sold separately


The bigass mirror for the gimmicky but well crafted mirror bastard himself.
Packaged separately because I'm an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥; but also because it needed a tutorial of sorts. Else the whole mirror part of the mirror doesn't work. I think we both know that would be outright tragic.

So anyway this is how this thing is set up. First off there are two models. There's the mirror. Then there's the mirror without envmaps. What's the difference?

One looks like ♥♥♥♥ in the dark and the other doesn't.





Skingroups are ordered as follows.

1 - flat
2 - warped (without env no matter which model it is)
2* - warped (with envmap. regular mirror only)
3 - rt camera (warped)
4 - warped (beta envmap)
5 - rt camera (flat)


So just what is all this rt_camera crap anyway? The source engine can project a viewing point as a texture and apply it to brushes and (with some tampering) models. They work much like any other texture save for they update in real time.

This model is set up to use rt_camera's mostly for cosmetic purposes. For this specific model any image projected will be flipped. Hence mirror.

This applies to text. The shield isn't a book. You can't read it.
Reading is for losers anyway.


Requires the rt_camera garrysmod addon to work since Garry is apparently incompetent at retaining features native to the engine itself.


It can be found here.

Searching for Dark Souls on the workshop doesn't display this or the Bell Gargoyle, could probably use a DARK SOULS - in front of their titles.
