The aztec mod? You manually download it from post #1 in this thread or subscribe to it on Steam. Remember to activate it in the Mod Manager.

Aztec, how can I get your personal GEM settings? Clicking on your linked attachment brings just info that attachment is invalid

definitively using new Dok1 settings ...great and fine with my monitor! hope to post soon pics.

Always great respect for people working for community not simply taking care of their own particular needs.

Wow...been looking through the last couple of pages with the screenshots of what you are working on next Aztec. Incredible! Especially the new clouds and the Mediterranean tweaks. Do you have any idea when you might be ready to release? I literally can't wait ha!

Keep up the good work my friend

Hey Aztec, thanks for replying, for whatever reason it was categorizing your message to me as a visitor message and was preventing me from responding. Windows 8.1 apparently uses a different version of Sweetfx that forces you to use shader 3 in the graphics settings. Thus I have to use the Win 8.1 version of G.E.M. which I do not know is compatible with your mod.

controluce,

this is what I'm experiencing: aztec mod 3 + gem + doktor1 new presets

Aztec. Now im trying since 5 hours to reach what you are showing in your pics, but it seems that i am unable to be succesful. So please tell me what im doing wrong. Im so frustrated and after all these trying im tired. So i decided to write in detail and step by step what ive done until now and what I like to achieve:

1) I want to use your lightining "Mod" with GEM and an sweetfx set. Which one, i dont know, but i think dok1s should be the one for the moment.

2) So first I subscriebd to Aztec Lighting Engine in Steam. This shoul be all for this or am i wrong ?

3) Now i downloaded the GEM rar from Lucifer. Unzip it and installed it in the folder of Rome 2 (STEAM\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II)
-After that just subscribing in Steam, too!
-Starting the Launcher, so Steam do the download for Gem
-Going to Rome 2 Folder and just click GemSteamInstaller, which was extracted there at the beginning of this Step. Finished! Or is there something wrong?

4)At least i downlaoded the Sweetfx of dok1, and copy and paste them into the new sweetfx folder which was created before.

Thats all. But it do not work. Where was my fault/s?

Thank you in advanced!

Gentlemen, if you not get your aztec mod to work. Try to convert this mod from mod format to movie format. It should work perfectly with GEM.

[AstroCat]

Here are my tweaked settings. Let me know what you think... it's still an experiment of course. I'm using GEM 4.2.2 + Aztec 3b + my tweaks. Oh and I have in-game DOF low on just to play around with it a little, not required at all.

They work with GEM 4.2 and up, I have tested them on 4.3, 4.2.2 and 4.2.1 but should be ok with 4.2 as well.

Hi AstroCat, your tweaks look very interesting and I would like to give it a try but your link is coming down as "attachment.php".
I have no idea what to do with that file or if it's a broken link. Also whats your Brightness & Gamma settings?
Thanks

Hmmm, I just tried it by clicking on it normal and also right click "save as" and both work fine. Can you try again?

I can clearly see differences between Vanilla and your Mod. I think the greatest achievment are the shades, which are now much better. But your pics look indeed more colorful than mines. I have here two screens to compare. First the Vanilla Version and seconde the modded:



The quality is better but your looks more intensive. Any clue?
