Better L4D1 Weapon Shading

Description
Makes L4D1 weapons look up to par with L4D2 weapons
This is not a reshade mod

This mod makes it so the L4D1 weapons get alpha channels (Cooler phong shading that isn't $basemapluminancephongmask) and includes a stronger phong boost which makes it look alot brighter under sunlight, similar to L4D2 weapons. I also fixed the bullet textures and adjusted environemt maps to be wayyy less shiny. Removed the ugly ambient occlusion greyness aswell.

If you can't tell the difference, look at the poorly made comparison screenshots. Or even better, look at it ingame (Way better looking!)

Think you could include new shaders for the pistol and pump shotgun too for mods that port them back in?

I'm glad you didn't make the glass scope reflective or see through. I like it!
