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

actually guys, you might want to switch this on SweetFX (here you have another thread with more settings, screenshots and videos), as it has them all, and SMAA is better and faster than FXAA

S!

Adonys, looks nice that SweetFX. Could propably make a difference in IL-2 The colors in CoD are bland and could use a touch.

Thanks Adonys, I didn't know about that one. My own prior testing in Cliffs Of Dover didn't show any clear superiority of SMAA over FXAA, so the deciding factor in which one I used was the colour tweaking that the 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' package enabled. But reading the changelog of the 'SweetFX' shader suite, it looks like that one might have even more options for fine tuning the colours. Big bonus too having the developer interacting with the community while he continues to work on the project. Will check it out.

I tried it but it didn't do anything (I pasted all the files into the steam CoD folder). I hit the scroll lock button, also tried the Pause button.

Les, thanks for posting . Had some really good results with this. No problem online either and helps give some relief from the "Instaglare" of daytime maps.

Like it!

No probs ArthurS.

Klem, I got the 'SweetFX' utility working. It has to replace a 'd3d9.dll' file though, so I zipped up the original one as a backup and let the SweetFX one install. If you didn't overwrite that file maybe that's why it's not working?

Turns out there isn't a whole lot more to adjust with the 'SweetFX' shader suite/package/tool. In terms of it's colour control, it does basically the same thing as the 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' utility, just a bit differently. I'm not seeing any real difference between the FXAA and the SMAA either, but haven't really analyzed it (and probably won't).

All in all though, I'm tending to think the 'SweetFX' utility is probably the better one to use. The 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' utility is basically abandon-ware now, while the 'SweetFX' utility is still being worked on and seems to be a bit more user-friendly overall, with easier controls (eg. the settings files are easier to save, being just plain .txt files and the on/off button also takes screenshots).

There might be something about the 'SweetFX' utility I haven't found out yet that still makes the 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' one better, but from this first look it doesn't seem so.

If you're already using the 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' utility and are happy with how it looks, there might not be any point changing over to the 'SweetFX' one. But if you're not using either or want to check it out, I've attached the 'SweetFX' utility and some settings I tweaked for 'Cliffs Of Dover' to this post.

Just unzip the files and put them where you have 'Cliffs Of Dover' installed, but backup your 'd3d9.dll' file first as I think it gets overwritten by the 'SweetFX' one. And of course, remove the 'injectFxaa_by_some_dude' files first if you have to.

Edit 5-11-12 - Added latest SweetFX zip file containing my 'Neutral6' settings and a Readme file.

I had a look over readme, the d3d9 is only needed for DX9 injecting ,and also is just a hook, so it might still work if renamed into something else.

Yes, sweet fx is quite fun to mess around with.

You can make COD look like wings of prey without much difficulty. Not to my taste, but a fun thing to mess around with.

I agree, I just tried this and it really transforms everything, thanks for the tip!

It's 0530 and the green-tinted-CLOD-glasses are off! The sunlight actually causes A/C to look illuminated!

Hi Les

I tried the files you provided the other day and I'm very pleased with the results. The colour enhancements make a big difference. Thanks very much.
