Epic Swamp - Or: Essenthy did it again

[berserker66666]

maybe some russian hacker would make a hacking tool to fully edit the files of TW3

Agreed. Though I'm gonna say any talented modder has a shot at making that a reality, not just the Russians lol Remember GTA V? That game had no mod support in the beginning but look at it now. People found a way and created OPENIV (http://openiv.com/) and now modders can tweak a lot of encrypted files inside the game. The same could happen with Witcher 3.

I just checked out some videos on that OPENIV and it's pretty impressive with what they can access and tweak. With all the middleware in The Witcher 3, I wonder if even a tool was created that it would make many other unforeseen issues once you start messing with things. I don't really know, though. I'm an idiot hahahah

 

[essenthy]

essenthy maybe some new video ?

maybe tomorrow if i have time, i dont want to show more regions than what i already shown in the previous ones, i really prefer that peoples re discover the rest of the zones themselves, the far view distance really change how the game feel

other modders knows how ghetto moding W3 now is ( at least if you're not interested in gameplay/texture moding ), unless someone revers engineer the code we cant do much, not many peoples can do that ( very fews actually ) and considering that you cant do anything beside basic stuff without full decryption its not worth it

now that being said, a tool to edit only env files would be sufficient to change the lighting in a huge way for example, we dont really need a full red kit for that, however if we had Redkit you would probably be playing something that look nearly exact as the 2014 build and it would kill most current high end graphic cards , at least you can totally forget anything higher than 30fps

the mod does look somewhat close to 2014 footage, but it lack sunlight power among many other things

 

[SecurDis]

is it affecting cutscenes?
Can you give some comparison? sorry for my english

 

[Rustine]

But it also gives so much more. Don't worry, such little bugs are nothing in comparison to the greatness of the game world with your mod. Fix everything you can, but don't haste.

Sun shafts are post already. Would it be possible to write a reshade script for them?

Edit, did some googling. This thread

http://reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/372-ppfx-shaderpack-1-03-29-ssdo-gi-and-much-more

Over at the reshade forums leads me to believe someone has godrays working already. I'm on my phone so I can't verify, but worth looking into.

looks pretty cool
i tried to contact them via twitter, wondering if they'd make a tool like this for the witcher 3. let's hope they'll show interrest

 

[CarolKarine]

After some more looking around, it looks like the reshade framework has options for both AO and godrays. Maybe it's a bandaid solution, but I think it might do the trick.

 

[Georg555]

May I ask a question? I apologize if the question has already been asked before. Will be there a single mod, which will only remove the fog? Thank you.

I wish that we were, at least we would have had all the eye candy of truly next-gen level

 

[styrofoamism]

Any update on reflections, AO, and sunshafts?

Patience, young padawan.

 

[berserker66666]

I could live with playing Witcher 3 at 30 fps if it means getting all that 2014 eye candies.

Oh most definitely!

Why we must get 30 FPS with 2014 eye candies. I remember the game was running on single GTX titan and the FPS was very stable. I think FPS did not drop below 30. And now we will not get more than 30 with GTX 980 ti?

But if I need 30 FPS for that graphics Let it be. @essenthy Do your best and be patient, fix all what you can fix. We waited a long time and we can wait even more.

It's just a general assumption. Obviously GPUs have upgraded since the Titan days with MOAR PAWA so even with all the eye candies in place, it shouldn't hit FPS too badly. And then next year, NVIDIA's gonna release their 1000 series (Or whatever they will name it) GPUs which is rumored to be A LOT more powerful than any other gen to gen gpu upgrade cycles so there's that too to look forward to.

Not really much more powerful. They will be much faster in Deep Learning though.

her's a more darker/colder tonemapping

her's default

will most likely release the two version as am sure some peoples will scream IT WAS BETTER BEFORE !!

Kudos for giving all of us options!
