Removed link to MWO file modifications

Why not just direct link to the guru3d site?

[rgreat]

Fixed link.

Seem like our clan forum changing links after posting.

Yeah I'm with Oni the actual site instead of a mittor would be a bit easier,

Whats the performance hit?

On my config - negligible.

Nothing if on a high machine.

My gaming rig is an AMD 8350 OC to 5.2ghz with a GTX 680

I want to say very little if nothing at all on lower end machines.

You can try and post your results.

I dumped the binaries into the bin32 location, game won't crank up. Don't see any logs or events generated, but it's pissed about something. I'll mess with it later.

Instalation procedure for MWO is a bit different.

Extract all files to MWO folder, but DLL files must go into MWO\Bin32 subfolder.

Yep, was just about to post that Watched the startup with procmon, noticed it was hitting a FNF error on the root.

[Tennex]

tempted. but dont' really want to mess with teh game files/

does this just remove som eof the filters?

[One Medic Army]

Looks nice.
Can you give a rundown of what tweaks this encompasses? It's obviously removing a couple of filters from the screenshots.

Basicly it is applying Sharp, Contrast and Vibrance corrections on renderer.

[Budor]

These have only lumasharpen, aa and some vibrance.

Post your config. There are always ways to improve.

Install SweetFX to the main MWO folder, but move d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini to the bin32 folder.

Then create an user.cfg file in the main MWO folder and paste the following text into it.

r_FSAA = 0
r_UseEdgeAA = 0
r_PostMSAA = 0

It does not modify any.

Got DOF and motion blur disabled through the user.cfg.

For sweetFX i only use:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------.

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF
#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines.
#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.
#define USE_BLOOM 0 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_HDR 0 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)
#define USE_DPX 0 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor.
#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 0 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)
#define USE_TONEMAP 0 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)
#define USE_VIBRANCE 1 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.
#define USE_CURVES 0 //[0 or 1] Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.
#define USE_SEPIA 0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the image.
#define USE_VIGNETTE 0 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.
#define USE_DITHER 0 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)
#define USE_SPLITSCREEN 0 //[0 or 1] Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0 // [0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners.
// -- Advanced SMAA settings --
#define COLOR_EDGE_DETECTION 1 // [0 or 1] 1 Enables color edge detection (slower but slightly more acurate) - 0 uses luma edge detection (faster)

#define Vibrance 0.20 //[-1.0 to 1.0] Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.

Tried everything and i like it that way. Could even do with just the sharpening. I love how you can change all settings while having the game running and just reload the shaders (alt-tab is enough if you run fullscreen). Really a great addon.

It not that easy. These cannot be adjusted directly from user.cfg as they are overridden by ingame settings.
