Stadium Breath Mod 1.0 RELEASED

Postby Pika on Thu Jan 23, 2014 8:55 pm

Stadium Breath Mod 1.0

• custom palette
• haze simulation effect
• ambient occlusion
• fading shadows
• enhanced lighting
• skin tones balance preserved, but less reddish
• bluish cold lights

Comes in 6 versions hoping this will be friendly for anyone.

lowest
the basic thing, featuring the ENB custom palette. Should works on laptops

low
adds bloom and fast contrast curves

mid
better contrast curves, adds SweetFX antialiasing (SMAA and FXAA) and Lumasharpen for sharper edges

high
adds low quality occlusion

very high
medium quality occlusion

ultra
high quality occlusion, adds ambient occlusion and indirect lightning


The 6 versions are almost identical. The haze effect is always the same, changes are on player details and self shadowing due to occlusion.

Bloom doesn't do the job, it's only a little enhance to the haze effect. Removing it won't ruin the feeling.

Even the occlusion is not a big change on the experience because of the great quality globals we can enjoy and because the ENB custom palette actually simulate a sort of ambient occlusion: nearest object are sharper than the distant ones that fades out (of course doesn't simulate occlusion relative effects like self shadowing).



Thanks to all the beta testers, you've been really precious to achieve these results.

Wow, been waiting on this one to come out. Played a game with the ultra settings and it looks pretty nice, great work here.

Although, there is one thing that i noticed, and it may just be me, but after trying this mod out when compared with crystalclear photomod... something about your mod is giving me a headache. Not sure if this is just me needing to adjust to a new enb after using a different one for so long or what.... anyone else noticed this? (btw not a headache like "omg i cant get this to work" but like "wow my head is sorta hurting")

What is your average frames/sec when using the ultra? The only thing that I could think of that could cause an headache while playing is screen tearing/stuttering. Try turning on the vertical sync of your game or via the control panel of your graphics card. Hope it helps.

I don't know, but he's really young. He shouldn't quit at all, anyway.
II will answer to him, thank you. I don't want to flame, nor him, i hope.

I think DMavs is right. Your game is not enough fluid probably. VSync is the right option to check, but take a look at the ingame option first. If it's already checked probably ultra settings is just too much for your system. Ultra is meant for galactic powerful PC, not for an average nor a good one. I'm playing at high settings right now and i can guarantee you're gonna loose quite nothing. Try a mid version to see what happens, then start to increase until you're comfortable.

I forgot to mention that big credits of course goes to:

Boris Vorontsovs for ENB series
CeeJay.dk for SweetFX

I reuploaded the file also coz i made a BIG stupid mistake.

I changed the author's fields in SweetFX thinking they were meant to be changed on any edit and thought that Boris was the author of the whole thing (both ENB and SweetFX) because it appears on startup and CeeJay.dk was who edited the file i've used.


What a bad thing :(

mm, didnt think to check out my fps, tho i already had vsync enabled. I'll go check it out n see whats up.

Edit: Tried a few minutes of gameplay with each of the settings, ultra had my fps at 40 and high went up to 60 which was the same as the other enb i was using ... but even on low it still felt weird... i think the haze effect in general is what is causing the headache. Wish i could use your mod without feelin like this lol since it looks great, kinda hoping SJ's global mod wont have the same effect on me either haha.

That's really strange. Does it happens even with lowest settings that has no blur?

Ruckzell17, nice pic :) And nice ball, too!

yo Pika ,
two questions , one much more important than the other :mrgreen:

1 Where did you get the fox sports logo on the top right of your screen.

and

2. My game keeps crashing at the start screen after adding the Breath Mod 1.0. It crashes to desktop right after loading the game settings. Any help from any one would be appreciated. :bowdown:

... and from the screens the Mod looks awesome.

yo wikisaiyan,

usually is a directX 11 problem related. Try to update to the last version.
Could be also a video card or other software related problem...
Some things prevents ENB to work:antivirus or defenders, XLive and Logitech Game Profiler sometimes gives problem (try to close the related tray icons if you have enabled). Also MSI Afterburner and other launchers are causing problems sometimes.

You could even try to run as administrator to see if the system blocks the ENB and SweetFX dll.
