R2:TW GEMFX - Graphic Enhancement Mod 1.0.9

Description



GEM - Graphics Enhancement Mod is a new shader collection (GEM) & a new injector (GEMFX) I implemented.

GEM also utilizes the SweetFX shader stack and is inspired by SweetFX/Enbseries to improve the look of TW-Games.



INSTALLATION NOTES

This Project is currently on hold. (life has been taking its toll)


Go to CeeJay.dk (the creator of SweetFX), Boulotaur2024 (the creator of SweetFXNext), Daniu (pfm .pack extractor) Mech_Donald (the creator of noHDR) and Huszar (the creator of noHDR with ContrastCorrection). Without them nothing of this would have been possible.

I really wish someone would resurrect this; reshade looks like total garbage compared to this mod.

@DoktorFar on Para Bellum (specifically module for weather) they have links on how get it as it doesn't work through steam any longer: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2010740333&searchtext=para+bellum

What apparently can't be fixed is the "bypass interface" stuff, if you turn that on, the mod won't work (for me a shadering and shading mod would make sense only if it could bypass the interface, because then it wouldn't be able to touch texts etc)

Now.. I messed around with the settings and disabled all blurring etc, but in the end I just keep it off, because I don't see much point in messing with the graphics, I have some cool texture mods etc, and the game looks great already. :-)

@ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED Maybe you would be interested in the reshade preset I put together as I dislike blurriness, so im using some sharpening here also to fix that (and this is also not for everyone I know). https://www.nexusmods.com/totalwarrome2/mods/11/

@ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED The mod works for you? I cant make it work anymore :/

But yes, I feel the same about this mod; that's the thing that never appealed to me: all the blurriness. BUT I will give it this if you dont look to closely at stuff, do not examine details, dont look at text. Then it does look pretty. I would say the approach is almost impressionistic in that you get the best experience by not examining the details but rather take in the impression from the full image as a whole.

You may be able to fix the blurriness this by adding a sharpening effect to the filter, though you are probably going to also introduce some shimmering if you that, so its a tradeoff.

Can anyone explain to me how is it this mod "enhances" anything? It just makes the game blurred and distorted, maybe people who have problems with vision will appreciate the changed colors, but how can anyone with good eyes abide by the fact that they can no longer see details or even read texts properly?

@DoktorFar thx man=) I like that.
DoktorFar Mar 28, 2022 @ 7:25am 
@Black Soull I uploaded the actual preset now and put in a few extra screenshots.
DoktorFar Mar 26, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
@Black Soull yes the preset is not uploaded as I wanted to see if anyone even had an interest in it. If you like how it looks I can upload the preset file.
