A way to change some of the colours in Cliffs Of Dover.

[Les]

Hey Al. I just tested it on my system and got the same result, game won't start with the anti-aliasing disabled, gives a similar crash log to yours (and Topo's on the previous page). I have no idea why, didn't know it was a problem. Did some searching around and couldn't find any fix that would apply to my system. Could just be a bug with the application itself. It doesn't bother me as I prefer to have the FXAA enabled anyway, but sorry it's not working out for you. I don't know of a similar post-processing utility that can be used for colour correction only.

Thanks for looking Les, I appreciate it. I've been using SMAA injector and I've looked around inside some of the .h files but I didn't have any luck finding a similar color correction module. Do you or anyone else know if injectSMAA supports this post process function?

[Les]

I read somewhere in passing that there isn't a SMAA injector that includes other filters too, like the 'injFXAA' package by 'some_dude' does, and like other FXAA/colour/effect utilities do for other games (eg. 'Skyrim', 'Rift', 'GTAIV'). From what I understand, the colour correction and other effects filters are made and exist entirely separate from the anti-aliasing ones, and have just been tweaked and put together in one convenient package, usually for specific games. So there's no reason such effects couldn't be included with an SMAA injector, but as far as I know no-one's bothered to do it.

I can confirm, the sim crash with AA disabled.

Thanks!




With the new official patch, some recent tweaks, this very simple tool, the Tonemap information from this post, + this result, and I am ecstatic!

Glad you could make use of it Jupp.

Would you mind zipping up and attaching your 'injFX_Settings.h' file to your post in case others want to try it?

Hi there. I've been working a little on colour correction. My current tweak has higher contrast than the default game, which gets rid of some of that desaturation and overall mistyness of the image, and makes spotting those dots waaaay easier. Along with this comes some changes to saturation (it's a little more saturated), some red/yellow lens effects to give more red to sunrise/sunset and an optional WOP/BOS style vignette (which is also done through gamma, and therefore gives a nice boost of saturation and contrast to the screen eges).

I'll post the files when I've got it working fine. For now, some screenshots with anti-aliasing set low will have to do, I'll jump in and take some screenies!

[SQB]

Ok, I've taken screenshots and I'm happy with the settings. I live in Australia, so my upload is slow. I'll post the files for now, feel free to try them out. Screenshots will be uploaded and linked ASAP.

EDIT: Oh fiddlesticks, .h is not a valid file type to upload. Can someone teach me in the ways of zip?

The albums unfortunately got mixed up, and I can't edit them anymore. I'll make an account and upload them properly in a second. But keep in mind some of them are defaults and the rest are with my modification.

Right click on the 'injFX_Settings.h' file, select 'Send to', then 'Compressed (zipped) folder'. The zipped folder will appear directly below the original file.

What "recent tweaks" are you refering to?
