M14 Improved / HQ Model

M14 Improved / HQ Model for Left 4 Dead. Includes a HUD Icon.

To change the hud icon on the weapon panel you will need to edit the file mod_textures.txt manually found in ..\left 4 dead\left4dead\scripts.

"icon_equip_rifle"
{
    "file" "vgui/hud/icon_hunting_rifle" // vgui/hud/iconsheet
    "x" "0" // 320
    "y" "0" // 384
    "width" "256" // 192
    "height" "64" // 64
}

Make sure to override game's AA settings with your video card software because in-game AA leaves all the geometric edges within the model aliased.

1. Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector.
2. Select the Left 4 Dead profile.
3. Change Antialiasing compatibility value to 0x000000C0.
4. Change Antialiasing - Behavior Flags to None.
5. Change Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting.
6. Change Antialiasing - Setting to 4x [4x Multisampling].
7. Change Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling to 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling.
8. Press "Apply Changes" in the top-right corner.
