(click somewhere else to leave).

Advanced settings allows for better customization


Installation

0KyryRH.gif


Tone mapping was improved and now has options ACES and Filmic. Brightness can be changed.

ColorCorrectionCurves, LUT, CC_Vintage and CustomGlobalFog were removed to improve black levels.

Experimental maps Sun color was improved.

Presets you can save and load presets, they are saved at BepInEx/plugins/AmandsGraphics/.

EFT's PostFX still works, although I recommend disabling any Color grading.

FPS shouldn't change while GPU limited and not using Cinematic Features.


Experimental/Cinematic Features NVG overhaul, Flashlight overhaul, MysticalGlow, HBAO tweaks, Motion blur, Depth of field when using scopes, Optics Depth of field and Z-Blur overhaul.

  • hey im trying to lower the brightness of the moon at night and when i change the value of NVG Moon light intensity in plugins/mod settings nothing changes and the moon continues to blind me

  • just a point of clarification, will this work with 3.98?


    3.9 was green in the description addendum so i assume that supersedes the 3026 build?

  • Hello, i don't know why but my game looks like this when i put the bloom option on in the mod graphic settings is set to 0.5 and it looks like this in all the maps except factory I imagine it must be a configuration error in those maps and that's why in factory it's fine. Does anyone know the solution?


    https://imgur.com/oXufHRe

    • turn off Motion Blur on the mod settings, if you wish to use the effect you need to turn on TAA on EFT graphics settings or DLSS

  • Is it only me or do some specific parts of factory (Possibly other maps too) look brighter than the other parts

    Like some of the rubble on the ground and specific concreate textures look soooo bright and standout too much from the other parts

    • for the previous wipe's factory, BSG did some last minute efforts into making the map brighter before the new factory release, the graphics mod doesn't account for these lighting changes

    • It look really bad
      Could you update it in a way so it looks like pre patch?

  • Is it possible to auto-enable this mod when starting the game without pressing the hot-key?

  • plz someone tell me how to make global dof effect for all game. i want to make cinematic with global dof effect, but how??

  • Found and old post that mentioned one could remove the blur while in the inventory with this mod, I can't seem to find the correct setting, if possible which is it?

    • UI DOF allows you to replace the low-quality inventory blur with a higher quality blur, once you enable it you can change UI DOF Aperture to hide the new blur

    • Thank you!

    I've had this issue on interchange where fog glitched in the interior,

    does this mod fix this?

    • possibly, you can play with the Fog Level for interchange specifically to completely remove fog

    • I've been using this for some time and liking it very much!
      Turned on motion blur and HBAO as well and it looks amazing


      Thanks for making this

  • I don't understand the setting HBAO. it works only if the HBAO in game is activated or what?

    • yes, in game HBAO needs to be activated as the mod's HBAO only changes the existing settings of the in game HBAO to fit the new lighting better.

      Thumbs Up 2

  • Does this mod improve or decrease FPS and performance?

    • on default settings the fps should be the same or slightly increase, if you enable the other cinematic features like DOF it will decrease FPS when GPU bound

      Thumbs Up 1

  • I wonder if this mod can fix EFT magic glow in places where pitch black should be?
    Like totally closed off rooms that should be pitch black but arent, not because of game engine being crap or BSG lack of coding skill but live version P(easant)VsP(easant) crying about game being to dark.

    As of newest patch 15 I played some Training mode and I yet again and again I am disgusted to see objects weirdly glow in night time. Like border line map walls on maps like Customs, Woods. And glowing buildings and objects that have reflective layer in textures. All this glowing is making me nuts and sick in stomach as I cannot handle this idiocracy.

    If there would be only a way to make those textures not glow. It would be huge relief.

    • without raytracing it would be incredibly hard, and for a game on Unity 2019 at this scale I don't think the FPS would be acceptable.

      you can enable HBAO to darken just a bit more the corners but that's the best as of now, this mod gives new settings for HBAO if you want to make it even darker

      Thumbs Up 1

    • I understand. I wonder about game "GTFO" as I know it is on UNITY but not sure which version. There dark shadows are dark and places without light sources are dark as it should be. There is some kind of character glow when entering very dark spots. Like small bubble of ilumination. But appart from this bubble GTFO looks hundred time better than EFT. GTFO maybe uses UNITY 2021. I am not sure and could not find info on that. Niki boy announced to switch to newer version of unity. I guess he mean 2021 version.

      But still I seriously doubt that BSG will make this game use proper lighting. Look how they are making it now. Your mod is way better than their approach as they artificially add some ambient light. Your mod disables it and many spots are trully dark while theirs way is forced to illuminate everything so no pitch black is used even at night and in rooms where no light exists, still some magic aura illuminate such places. And some objects (textures) are stupidly bright. From what I read it is because many casual players cry that maps are to dark. They do not care about realism of light. All they care is to see players to just engage in straight up PvP. Way before I really thought that either UNITY sucks or BSG sucks that is why so many things are brighten up in the night. Well after very long time of reading, observating videos, streams I found out that UNITY do not suck, BSG kinda sucks for complying to stupid demands of the most casual players to make them stay and play this game for any means necessary.

      I am not sure but nobody is able to just open EFT map in UNITY editor and just tweak textures to not glow in the dark. Also rebuild (render) map with proper light instead of many fake light. That way I think many places woud be dark as it should be and not have magic glow even in totally closed off rooms.

      But thanx to you and your mod at least in some extent all the failures of BSG can be corrected for better visual experience.
      I know that i am in very small minorito of players loving graphical realism and true darkness in situations where it should be. Many games makes night time like slight solar eclipse... When I experience such games I really am 90% turned off from game. I remember playing Fallout 3, NV, 4 where without proper mod like darker nights I could not immerse myself into those games. Good that moders exist. I am only a game values tweaker as I am to lazy to do proper mod packaging etc so if there is no easy way to tweak game files I greatly relay on awesome modders ;)
      BTW thank you for your work in modding and sharing :):thumbup:

  • Do you know what fog values i should set for each map to get the default BSG fog? i find it hard to look at the game with 0 fog, because as i would explain it you're seeing everything at once and the fog doesn't separate objects that are close / far away from you, know what i mean.. other than that i love the features and how it removes those cinematic filters and lets you actually see inside buildings etc.

  • Man, please do a global Dof effect. I really miss it for cinematics. I set the UI Dof time to maximum and shoot until the Dof effect disappears. Please make a global Dof effect to

  • getting the github unicorn page every time i try to download. Can i get some help to navigate around that? Never dealt with that before

  • Greetings,


    Firstly, i love your mod. Thank you for your hard work.


    My issue is that I am finding at times, on certain maps like Customs when the sky is very bright, the map will darken too much and make visibility difficult. I have to lower my point of aim so the ground will brighten back up. I believe this is a type of HDR setting, perhaps? Could you please assist me in finding the adjustment so the bright sky does not auto-darken the map detail. Thanks again!!

    • since the mod version 1.6.0 you are able to change the Sky Brightness, I'm unsure if that's enough to fix the problem of eye adaptation because it also happens on Live graphics, I'll see what I can do about eye adaptation itself for the next updates

    • Thank you!!

  • is there a way to add presets?

    • not at the moment, you can access the mod config file at SPT/BepInEx/config/com.Amanda.Graphics.cfg and make a copy of it

  • @Amands2Mello could you please, please, please update Amands' Sense and post it back here / your Github ?
    I've just tried using it again and it makes my game load indefinitely at launch.

    • tested with 3.9.5 and couldn't find any issues, the latest mod version 2.0.0d is on AmandsSense GitHub Releases you can click Assets to get the download link.

      if you had the wrong version before, delete the folder SPT/BepInEx/plugins/Sense/ and the file SPT/BepInEx/config/com.Amanda.Sense.cfg

      you need to extract with 7zip; extracting with windows or winrar might cause problems.

    • I had the wrong version, indeed.

      Thank you !

  • Using Optic DOF, I've noticed that when I am prone, the optic will fully blur. I think it's due to optic DOF making the optic blurry if you are aimed at too close of an object, and it is hitting the ground. I have to aim really high to make it unblur. Has anyone had this issue and is there a workaround for this? :)

    • I've never noticed that before thanks for the report I'll come up with a fix for the next version of the mod

  • Hello, much great, very mod, 5 stars.

    Question!

    I was seeing a bit of graphic artifacting in Autumn.

    Are your effects season dependent?
    Would the shaders differ for different seasons?


    It may have just been an EFT bug, but I'm curious if using this with AllTheSeasons would potentially cause graphical issues around shaders.

    • if you mean a black squid ink on the screen that is an EFT bug not from this mod, I solved it myself in the past versions, but BSG removed the way I used to fix it

      Heart 1

    • Thanks for the clarification.
      Love your work buddy!

  • does this work on 3.9.4 ?

    Thumbs Up 1

  • <3

  • Forgive my ignorance, but this should work with 3.9.2? Unfortunately for me it is not even loading in spt at all.

    • yes, it works on 3.9.X; just make sure it's dll is on SPT/BepInEx/plugins/AmandsGraphics.dll

      Heart 1

  • It looks really awesome, and way better then the original version. But, I have not the fastest PC, can it be this my graphics card overloads and thermal throttle break kicks in? I had skipping frames? Never had that before, but I have installed more mods, so don't know witch course the skipping issue.

    Like I say before, the graphics are so awesome, thanks for this great mod <3 :thumbup:

    • From my experience, this mod is so much lightweight. Usually what hits most fps are complex bots AI mods, like "That's Lit" for example.

    • My bad, your right, it happens when a.i. spawn, they always spawn in groups. And I have a few complex bot behavior mods installed.

      Thanks for helping out mate. :thumbup:

  • I need to adjust the brightness of the factory at night individually.

    Thumbs Up 1

    • The brightness at night in the factory is still too low even after using night vision goggles, making it difficult to quickly spot targets.

    • It's two things, in game POST FX settings, and your graphics card settings. On YouTube are plenty tutorials to find for your "problem" Try that, and you can do night raids without nv at all.

      Success mate :) :thumbup:

  • The mod does not load in the server nor does it displays any errors, I checked in f12 and its not there either, I wonder what is the problem , because in 3.8 I never had this issue it's only now in 3.9

    • the mod goes on SPT/BepInEx/plugins/ not on user/mods

      0KyryRH.gif

    • I did that, the mod is in the correct folder, so far no results.

    • was the mod extracted with 7zip? could be corrupted due to not using 7zip

      in case it was with 7zip and still doesn't work I sent you a message so you can send the logs

      Heart 1

    • I use winrar to extract the mod

    • I am having this exact issue, even used 7zip. No luck.

  • 在最新版本中，我发现删除了很多设置，导致 1.6.2 中的配置在 1.6.3 中没有正确设置，有什么方法可以调试吗？

  • Usual use case scnenario:
    Press F12..
    Enter: "brigh"..
    Adjust brightness..
    Close.


    Playing with MysticGlow intensity and the HBAO sliders is also fun!
