NOTE:
- make sure your user.settings in documents\The Witcher 3\ is NOT read only
- sometimes graphics wont change...if so reload map OR restart game
- if this did not help try deleting user.settings +bak
- dont scroll in left Menu Panel it will result in bug
- changing some values especially gras foliage and shadow high might resukt in Ultra LOW FPS
- some settings dont effect anything
- settings with description are heavily tested, no description means self explaing or unknown effect
- [size=+1]ALL THIS IS WORK IN PROGRASS, I MIGHT ADD OR DELETE VALUES FROM MOD[/size]

Compatibilty:
- not yet compatible with mods using baseEffect.ws, hudModuleBuffs.ws, igmOptions.ws
- should anyways work with other menus mods such ask KNGs ULM


Known bugs:
- sometimes sliders reset to zero postion but values are accepted
- sometimes graphics wont change(reload map, restarting game, or last option...delete user.settings)
- "Back" Button in left Panel is missing(well not missing you could scroll down but its bugged)
- Scrolling with mousewheel in the left Menu Panel will result in bug
- changing MipMapBias to very high may result in green lightning
- some settings wont load immedeately, turning camera or walking is needed for taking effect

Thx for the help of all ppl who posted in this thread

Any help is appreciated

[size=+2]UPDATED[/size]--- NEW achievements are [highlight]HIGHLIGHTED[/highlight]

for Version 0.01 I planned:

-Foliagevars(everything has to do with gras and trees)
-Cascadeshadows
-increase NPC limit to 300
-more framerate locks(25/35/40/45..).
-xxxHideDistances
-MipMapBias
-multiple memory budget options
-[highlight]optional description text for options version[/highlight]

I could implement every setting that is in user.setting maybe also rendering.xml

The Image describes it a bit...(First Build will be English Language)


[size=+1]So if you got any suggestions, ideas, questions or wishes for it, tell me here [/size]

Problems to solve:

- Cant edit true-false variables yet :thumbdown:
- creating a submenu makes the string look like "Panel_mynewsubmenuname" :thumbdown:
-[highlight] havent found a neat way yet to put a little option description onto the sliders.[/highlight] :thumbup:

 

[Garrison72]

Excellent! When will it be up on Nexus?

 

[marvelmaster]

depends on how many options i am planning to implement in first version...guess next week

 

[cyberpunkforever]

excellent!

 

[CarolKarine]

Can you list planned options and ranges for said options? for example, how high can we set each, and in what increments?

-Cascadeshadows
-increase NPC limit to 290;
-more framerate locks(25/35/40/45..).
-SwarmHideDistance=200
-DecalsHideDistance=80
-DimmerHideDistance=60
-DynamicDecalsHideDistance=20
-StripeHideDistance=60
-MipMapBias
-multiple memory budget options

I could implement every setting that is in user.setting or rendering.xml

It is even possible to split the optionclasses for a very own sub menu... for example a special menu for foliage another menu for hairwoks and so on, but there are some difficulties i havent a solution for yet.

Thank you, my friend

Maybe you should list each var in the OP? people can suggest things.

I'll put together a list of things that would be useful to have.

Hello everyone...
i'am very proud to announce a custom ingame Graphic Options Menu Mod
You will be able to set highest and lowest possible values of settings you like and watch them ingame instantly without doing config tweaking and restarting.
First Version will include a config with Hardcore Foliage distance Settings.

I Guess the Image describes everything...(First Build will be English Language)


So if you got any suggestions, ideas, questions or wishes for it, tell me here

Wow fantastic! Are there any plans for adding information for what each option does. For example, I'm not going to remember for the life of my what any of the CascadeShadowDistanceScale options do.

 

[Sken]

This is brilliant.

May I recommend a little indicator be placed, or a different font color to flag performance heavy tweaks, i.e shadow distance.

 

[Dex_LV]

Really great idea!

Is an interesting Idea, but i think the color definitions are inaccessible...nevertheless i'll take a look
So I might just be able to put a Little Sign behind very FPS heavy options.

Hm i Could add a little description, but 1. maybe its to much text then 2. i wouldnt know where to position it.

Lmao, this is like the enlightment (and you're a philosopher lol),era and you revolutionize the witcher 3 mod timeline.

 

[FreeFall24]

Take all the internets, all of it. All internets belong to you. You are glorious.

 

[CarolKarine]

How feasible would it be to be able to set the env or lighting mod in use?

 

[marvelmaster]

How feasible would it be to be able to set the env or lighting mod in use?

I thought about this too. But within the options menu only user.settings is edited and as long as .env files have nothing to do with it...changing lightning with this mod wont work...

Anyways i know how to set .env outside the game and there is even a way to do it on the fly...but unfortunately essenthy and KNGRSM are constantly ignoring my request to tell me the script for that

on-the-fly lighting / environment env def changes.

watch this:

hopefully they are just busy. we could use all the mods we can get.

 

[MUPPETA]

If is user ini and hardcore than include;
GlobalOceanTesselationFactor=64(-128-256-512)

 

[Krull32]

Looks interesting :like:
i'm to lazy to play with configs or inis every time i want to change something ^^

 

[Guest 2364765]

If is user ini and hardcore than include;
GlobalOceanTesselationFactor=64(-128-256-512)

Tessellation is limited to a maximum of 64 times by DX11 limitation, it can't go any higher.


As for the loading environments on the fly:

ActivateEnvironmentDefinition( environmentDefinition : CEnvironmentDefinition, priority : Int32, blendFactor : Float, blendInTime : Float); < this function may be stored to environment ID as an integer to disable later.

DeactivateEnvironment( environmentID : Int32, blendOutTime : Float);
