No HDR Mod Version 1.4 final for Patch 8 (Update 18.12.2013)

[agent 47]

Oh are the battlefield lighting conditions moddable? And if so what directory and pack are they in? I'm having a tough time getting Gem and sweetfx looking good in the bright settings, while remaining nice in dark settings. Your hdr mod seems to make things like grass too bright especially I'm finding, when using gem, but i refuse to play the game without it. I Hate that hdr so much.Heres what i meanhttp://puu.sh/4nPq6.jpgOne last thing, is it possible to keep the hdr and tone it down so its subtle?

[Mech_Donald]

Yes its all modable. you can find all values in the weather Folder in romedata.pack.

In your mod could you also maybe change all the contrast settings to 1 for each color, to eliminate the blue hue on some maps?

I'll completely overwork my mod at weekend. So stay tuned.

OK Thanks Mech, and may I ask what video card you are using? If Nvidia, what driver?

Thanks

[Livebyte]

Can you make a version with just the color grading removed? That'd be great!

[Fuzzy5]

Are there a gallery of screenshots for this now that it has more than just an HDR removal?

The color grading on the game is the most annoying thing and if this does indeed fix the purple/blue shadows and the red tint with yellow highlights then I'd be a very happy man.

I'm using a Nvidea GTX 570 Ti. I don't know the driver atm. I can tell you when i'm home again.

i wanted to make a version with a slighter version of HDR too. But i have just the weekend to work on my mod atm. So i don't know whether i get enough time to do it this weekend.

Agree to the color grading issue with this game. Screenshots will come this weekend when i release the overworked and hopefully fully functional version of this mod. There is much work to do.

Ok, I finally found a mod that fixed the red color on battle maps in Mech_Donald's mod, so thank you for that, but I also had a issue with the crappy contrast settings in the vanilla game. So I took No HDR Mod and Color Grading Mod and also changed the contrast settings to 1 for all the colors where I could find them. The result are maps where the dark areas actually appear black instead of just blue. I think I got all the battle, campaign and historic maps working, but I might have missed some. So my thanks to Mech_Donald for doing most of the work, and for having no issue with me releasing this, and I cannot wait for his next version of the mod. Here is the file and a screenshot (it won't let me put it more right now):

Nice work huszar! As you can see, i updated my mod to it's final version (1.4). So there are no bugs anymore and everything works fine with it now. If you want to, i can do a version with full area of contrast like you did or you can update your version to be sure there are no faulty maps anymore. I could put it in the OP with full credit to you.

Download link always give me attachment.php(1x1) :| is just me?

[huzsar]

Ok, I combined your mod with the files I have used and applied the contrast fix on all the files. One thing that I noticed is if I try changing the graphic settings in the battle after the reload the screen turns black except for the unit flags and the UI but otherwise I did not notice any bugs. But anyway use these changes how ever you like and also here is how one of the historical battles looks like:

Hi Mech, do this mod makes the buildings less shinny? I mean, when a building is facing the sun, it gets like a white star with vanila, is there anyway to fix that? (Also i'm getting that error "Attachment 1x1", that dont allow me to download your mod)

[satyrus]

Thank you LuciferHawk an +rep too.

@all who have problems with downloading the files. I tried it with internet explorer just for this case and i was able to download. It's worth a try.
