tw1: any mods out there that make blizzard potion graphical effects less annoying?

as title really, just started playing the witcher 1 on hard mode and am using allot of blizzard potions but the amount of blurring it does to the graphics really gets on my nerves and makes me feel a bit ill. any simple mod that lessens or removes all this blurring out there? thanks.

Wen i was playing TW on hard difficult, i just use a Blizzard potion in chapter one, after wen i get inside Vizima, i start to use and combine Thunderbolt with Swallow and Tawny owl, so in that way i was avoiding Blizzard side effect, and it work for me!!!...

heh guess that's a no then! i did beat the beast without using any potions in the end so maybe i wont need it so much.

That's not a no; that's a it takes awhile to make a new mod!

I didn't know of any mods that remove or reduce the Blizzard blur, so I went and made you one. And now that I've made it, I know why no one else did this before. It took many hours to make, because none of the resources that are available to me would do what you wanted.

I tried altering the script that the potion calls when you drink it, but that didn't work.
I tried altering the three different special effects that the potion uses, but that didn't work.
I tried ... well, I won't bore you with everything I tried.

The Blizzard potion's effect is set with the reflex_apply.ncs script, and we only have the COMPILED version of that script, which greatly limits how much I can mess with it.

So, this mod is still in testing. Without access to the uncompiled script, there's a limit to what I can do and even a limit to how much of what the Blizzard potion normally does that I can even get a look at. So, let me know how this works for you. I know it makes time slow down without the blur, but does Geralt still have all the advantages he's supposed to have? I did test this, of course, but I've never used the Blizzard potion much, so I don't have a good sense of how its normal effects feel during gameplay.

If you'd like to report on how this mod is working for you, you can leave a reply in this thread or send e-mail to medicalproblemsquiz at gmail dot com.

Like all of my mods, this is for The Witcher 1, NOT The Witcher 2.

You can download it at my website, at http://corylea.com/no_blur_blizzard_mod.html. I decided not to upload this to The Witcher Nexus until I know if it's working for people.

Thank you, aecon; I really appreciate your saying that. It makes my day when someone tells me that they play my adventures or use my mods, so thanks for making my day!
