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

[SQB]

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!

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.

Done and done

N1 tweak, jupp! Bit I personally do not like the candy look of sqb. Simply a matter of taste but I never saw such a colourful landscape Looks like a candy bf109 to me, but tweaking clours in clod is great. In general the houses and landscape are too green and coloured/too saturated. I like the look of jupps colour tweak.

Difficult to see what you see because of the different monitors. Someone with a calibrated screen on adobe rgb standards? They are not comparable. There could be huge differences. My standard clod looks nearly similar to jupps approach, btw..

I'm going to make a range of approaches now that I've got the base down. The current version is oversaturated so that I can get the colours *correct*, once that is achieved I will tone it down to realistic levels (as I have started to do already, if you look at the files I have uploaded).

I will also make other stereotypical approaches, the default game covers the ever-so-popular "desaturated blue" take, so I'll skip that. But I'll try to focus on WOP style tint + oversaturation, "Real life!!111!!one" style desaturated grey/green and a couple of others as they come to me.

I've uploaded some albums to imgur, in order this time. Showing a warm, but normal saturation, version as well as the Wings Of Prey green.

Both albums contain default comparisons.

FXAA functionality in this is minimal, and I'm unsure of the priorities. Forcing it on/off through your GPU drivers should be the divining factor, so if all else fails fall back to that! My role in this is more to provide colour tweaks.


So here's a variety (and I mean a variety) of settings I've found of equal merit. There are some crazy/fun ones in there too, with crazy/fun names. Enjoy!
