About this mod
Remove the helmet of the huntress, for all pandora scenes
- Permissions and credits
The textures are replaced by using SpecialK tool (inject into the game)
Easier than editing the game file directly, and easier to share
A few shaders are disabled with Reshade add-on "Shader Toggler"
Installation steps:
- Download SpecialK (local injection) from their Github
- Rename SpecialK64.dll into d3d11.dll (or dxgi.dll if the game crash) and put alongside the game exe (Subverse-Win64-Shipping.exe)
- Download and open Reshade (add-on version)
- Point it to the game exe (Subverse-Win64-Shipping.exe) and choose DirectX11
- Ignore the "download shaders" step
- Tick "Shader Toggler" add-on in the second step, then finish the install
- Copy the content of this mod zip into your game folder, alongside the game exe (SK_Res folder alongside Subverse-Win64-Shipping.exe)
- Start the game
Potential install issues:
if her helmet visor is still visible, and pressing F1 doesn't change anything:
- Open SpecialK control panel (Ctrl + Shift + Backspace)
- Open the "Plugins" menu
- Untick "Compatibility mode" for Reshade
- Restart the game
Limitations:
- If you play the "real game", then press "F1" to temporarily disable the mod (it breaks rendering outside pandora)
- It breaks Lily glasses too, so press "F1" to temporarily disable the mod if you look at Lily in pandora. Probably breaks more stuff
- The developpers obviously did not animate her (hidden) eyes, so they look broken in most scenes (they look ok in some scenes though !)
- The pandora scene "Two versus one" has a graphical issue; the Xenos are semi transparent. But all other scenes work perfectly
Info:
- I tried to make the helmet disappear when inside the ship, but it broke way too many effects, and I am not really interested in that.
- Instead of using a local injection of SpecialK, you could use a global injection with SKIF, and put the SK_Res folder inside the game profile (see their doc)
- A better way to make this (easier to install and without any graphical issue) would be to make a .pak mod, but this requires editing her model in the game files. This would be way more complex to pull off

I am not providing SpecialK dll directly into this mod for two reasons :
- Security reasons (don't load random dlls, though SpecialK is a really famous tool, look at PCGamingWiki for example)
- GPL licensing
