killkhergit: That's weird. Whose settings are you using?

I'm guessing that 'shiny metal' is enabled.

And it reminds me of 'Personal Avatar' from Magic: The Gathering.

I'm finding killkhergit's sword(?) more disturbing actually.

About KON_air's download: 't was for the old version (where you had to change some dll's), with the above it's simply paste the not-readme/license files in the MB folder and play. EDIT: remove resident evil 4 config file too.

Cool sword eh?

I'm a bit lost, which version would work better with M&B?

I've tried several packages and the one uploaded by KON_Air is the most sophisticated. The version mentioned above has nothing that can be useful for M&B.

 

[dablade]

OK. thanks, Tul

Thanks Xlacier

This is looking to be a great tool. Maybe moving it to one of the mod forums would be more appropriate?

I've toned the effect down a lot-

One big problem is that some parts go far too dark and some far too light (which I suppose is the idea  ).

In this picture, the dark parts are completely black.

And this one shows how indoor scenes can look a bit funky.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to tweak the levels a bit more?

Here's my settings;

[BLOOM]
BloomPowerDay=30
BloomFadeTime=5000
BloomConstantDay=3
BloomQuality=2
BloomScreenLevelDay=100
BloomCurveDay=6
BloomPowerNight=15
BloomConstantNight=2
BloomCurveNight=-3
BloomScreenLevelNight=100
BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=5
BloomAdaptationMultiplier=100
BloomAllowOversaturation=0

Edit: I think I changed this too:

[INPUT]
KeyUseEffect=123
KeyBloom=60
KeyOcclusion=121
KeyReflection=122
KeyCombination=16
KeyShadow=119
KeyWater=118

Ursca's pics look the best so far I think...if only my computer could handle it

btw, my opinion on HDR/Bloom is rather similar to this

 

[Srennit]

Looks fairly good, I have it toned down fair bit tho. Haven't noticed any real performance loss, still sits are around 60 on full.

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Last shot is ridiculous.

 

[Janus]

Wow, I'm going to have to try it out now that I've seen Ursca's version. Looks like an improvement without going too far.

 

[Tall Paul]

Bit of a noobish question here, but can this be used with Native, or does it count as a separate mod? I like the shiny shiny, but don't want to interrupt my campaign now that it has gotten really good (i.e. the Khergits are gone!)

 

[Shik]

I'm pretty sure you can use it with your savegames.

 

[Tall Paul]

Would love to see this built into the Warhammer mod. When it is released, that is.

 

[Srennit]

Yeh it works with native without messing with save games. I guess it'll work with any mod, basically you just need to drag a single file in to the mods directory to get it working.

 

[Yoshiboy]

Its very hard to get working nicely with mipmap fading.

Mine is as well.

 

[Ursca]

The main problem is night scenes and indoor scenes. The y go into 'super-black' mode and you can't see a thing. It's like watching noir-o-vision. 

Still working on a way to turn that down. Meanwhile, it works nicely in daylight.

Would love to see this built into the Warhammer mod. When it is released, that is.

If I can get it working right, I'll set up an installer with some HDR specific textures just for Warhammer Mod. It's a universal mod though, so it'll affect every module in that M&B installation.
