Well CD Projekt might have stored the exceptional effects under lock in the system. However, the ModToolkit will allow texture modification to allow the users a degree of flexibility. The current simple coded ModToolkit is essentially in its bare skeleton format, updates and the "eventual" REDKIT version 2.0 should allow major textural and effects overall. Exceptional work is already being done in the lighting field: STLM, ULM are one of the best modifications for this game.
I however do propose a checklist of system components that should be altered:
1) Water detail - Essenthy has made great effort in this part, however, only still calm waters were demonstrated. Rough seas will need to be investigated.
2) Fire, smoke particles- this can be altered. Fire level of detail can be changed.
3) Need fix for intentionally lowered textures.
Lighting is fixed thanks God! Water is getting there! We just need textures 4K quality.
well technically you can edit pretty much any files from the game using Sarcen editor, he did true gods work with that tool
and yes you can edit fire particle for example, will that work ? its another story, even if you are able to do that, there are many, many maaaaaany, particles/meshe settings all over the place, just to find wich one control what effect exactly will take time
because the way settings are named they dont necessarily represent what they are named after, so you have to edit, pack/test, edit pack/test ect ect ect ... its something that i wanted to do along editing the lighting, but i realized that it was completly out of hand and i simply cant do both thing
easiest start would be editing IGNI fire effect, you cant go wrong with the settings name and they are all in one place
maybe i will try when i finish STLM 2 depending on motivation, but i would prefer that someone do that, am pretty burned out already tbh
edit: just tried and managed to increase igni particles, will post later how it look
