Hmm Are there any difference between the old global and the post-patch global?

try it out for your selves and post some comments or critics if you like

NOTE:
no need to use ENV or FXAA injector

:D


Does using ENB or FXAA injector make it look better? and does it cut framerate? I use crystal clear photomod

@Like A Boss no prob bro :D :D

@wtferrell im using Leftos and L.A.B.'s global (alternately) to my game to see how it will look's like :D :D

@free24ride1 its in you if you like to use ENB or FXAA to make it look better but if you experiencing lots of drops of framerate then you can just play it w/o them :D :D

@Leftos bro is there any chance that the new global have a new lighting value??

I'm still unsure of what the differences are between the old global and the new one, and trying to compare them via my Hex Editor just made it crash, so my guess is as good as yours. I just made the tool compatible with the post-patch globals because the lighting values, although the same, were in different offsets inside the file.

Does the L.A.B. global include the player reflections on the floor like the above screens. That's what I'm looking for. Very nice look.

I think that global is mine but to be sure here is a pic of my global for comparison:

Did you meant like this?

ahh.. so it means that we need to research again the value of lighting for the new global.. wew.. another project again i guess :D :D

BTW here's a pic from replay...

I think it is much more better to just go with the pre-patched globals as I think there is no difference actually there is but it's only a minor the sweat pattern was changed.

i think its more complicated than that,2k not just change the sweet texture,they also change the lightning system.Because if you put old sweet texture from old global to the new global it will not have the same looks.

Well I just realized that but either way you can still use old progressive sweats.

Re: [Tool] Global Editor v0.4 (Edit Global Lighting)

Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:17 pm

hey leftos, I think the latest version of your tool is not compatible with post patch global. I tried to open the global file with your tool and changed nothing and here how's it looks

Re: [Tool] Global Editor v0.4 (Edit Global Lighting)

Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:28 pm

that is a weird result....

well I had an issue just now with the post patch global, the lighting on the players went completely black, like, all black, no lighting.

Re: [Tool] Global Editor v0.4 (Edit Global Lighting)

Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:00 am

Huh? My tool doesn't edit anything just by opening the file! Are you sure you tried to open an uncompressed global?

I have to look into that when I'm back from a few days of vacation, I haven't really tested post-patch globals to see if they behave differently. I just found the new offsets of the old values and put them into it. Maybe the game handles lighting differently post-patch and needs completely new values.

Re: [Tool] Global Editor v0.4 (Edit Global Lighting)

Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:05 am

I did not touch anything. I just opened the file then launch the game to see if I'm loading the correct global. I think the problem is with creating the backup when editing. When I had that problem I just replace it with the backup then it's all good

you need to change the mode to post patch by clicking the mode button on top left and choose postpatch then apply your lightning it should work

@El granadan, thanks man! I didn't noticed that feature was there. I thought I just have to open the file then the program would adjust itself.

@Leftos, I'm sorry for reporting a wrong issue :twisted:

Re: [Tool] Global Editor v0.4 (Edit Global Lighting)

Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:35 pm

So, it works for you with the new global ? 'Cause I still have my players red or black :?

talason, can you share those values, i prefer the darker mods and colors, yours looks perfect!

And here I was, thinking the addition of the Mode menu would be obvious. :P

The tool can't adjust itself as there's no signature in the global that I can decode to see if the global's pre-patch or post-patch. The filesizes are exactly the same, and bitwise the changes can't be limited down to a certain prepatch/postpatch signature.
