Just thought I'd update this thread with some more settings (attached below).

These ones are designed mainly to make the sunrises and sunsets more spectacular (until it actually gets dark, when it's better to turn them off and let the default cold moonlight light things up). They're basically the opposite of my preferred settings (and even the default ones), which are very dark and blue in comparison.

Here are some comparisons between the default colours and these more colourful ones.

9am


6pm

Some more shots as the sun sets, using the same settings as above, attached again below.































The last two shots show the point at which the default moonlight should be allowed take over from the sunlight effect, for a more natural look.

Then again, who needs colour anyway?

Hey Les, thanks a lot for all these great color schemes, however I'm running into a problem and I'm hoping you or someone on the forum can help me out.

Personally I do not like FXAA and I really just want the tonemap function from the injector. I originally just commented out the AA option in the settings.h file and it was working last night. However, all of a sudden if I don't have the AA active, CloD won't boot and just crashes. Removing and putting back the injector doesn't fix it, but I do at least get an error in the log file.

redirecting CreateDXGIFactory
redirecting IDXGIFactory->CreateSwapChain
D3DX10CompileFromFile failed
injFX_Shaders\Tonemap.h(21,: warning X3206: implicit truncation of vector type
d:\games\steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\shader.hlsl(75,37): error X3004: undeclared identifier 'lumaSampler'

Does anyone have a better understanding of the injector and possibly know what needs to be changed? I have no idea why it was working before and now refuses to work, but I'd really love to get these much more pleasing tonemaps into CloD.

Thanks!

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?

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.

Thumbs up Absolutely Awesome

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!
