Graphic Mod - No CA, No Blur, Natural Colours, etc etc

[̔̏̊]

Annoyed by the Chromatic Aberration, the blurring, and the colours all yellow-ish?

Do this and those will gone: (i have not determined which lines affect which graphic effect)

open Documents\My Games\Life Is Strange\LifeIsStrangeGame\Config\LifeIsStrangeEngine.ini

on [Engine.Engine] section, change the options into this (DONT COPY PASTE, manually search each lines)
bEnableColorClear=FALSE
LightMapDensityVertexMappedColor=(R=0.65,G=0.65,B=0.65,A=1.0)
LightMapDensitySelectedColor=(R=1.0,G=1.0,B=1.0,A=1.0)

look for these 2 options
LightComplexityColors=
ShaderComplexityColors=

delete all those lines and replace with this
LightComplexityColors=(R=0,G=0,B=0,A=1)
LightComplexityColors=(R=0,G=255,B=0,A=1)
LightComplexityColors=(R=63,G=191,B=0,A=1)
LightComplexityColors=(R=127,G=127,B=0,A=1)
ShaderComplexityColors=(R=1.0,G=0.9,B=0.9,A=1.0)


on [SystemSettings] section, chenges the options into this (DONT COPY PASTE, manually search each lines)
ChromaticUVNudge=0.000000
ChromaticBlendExp=0.000000
bAllowDNELensWhacking=False
bAllowDNEDOF=False
bDNEDisablePreshadowCache=True
Distortion=False
MotionBlur=False
MotionBlurPause=False
MotionBlurSkinning=0
DepthOfField=False



Screenshot of "Before" and "After" will be uploaded sometime later.

it seems bloom is broken

I think the idea was they wanted warmer colors but nice find regardless. Could be interesting to do for a 2nd play through .

Great that you have provided people the option. I for one definatley welcomed the mod to remove the awful film grain from Dyling Light, but for this game I welcome that kind of style but support your mod as some might not like that style. Nice one.

i do like "yellowish" filter, but i dont like chromatic abberation, should i change only those 2 lines: ChromaticUVNudge=0.000000
ChromaticBlendExp=0.000000 ? thanks in advance

[Yakumo-chan]

I think it fits the game's atmosphere so... (and automn)
But it's nice!! :D

Hate to say it given someone put some work into "figuiring this out" but I like the original image much better. It's like you're taking a paiting an artist made, the way they designed it, and then changing the colours, making it brighter etc, and then saying "hey I 'fixed' it" LOL fixed. It may be how you'd like it to look but that's not how it was intended.

I could be wrong but I would imagine someone put more thought into intentionally making it look the way it does than you took to "fix" it. Given the game actually has photography as a main part of the story, I don't see what's wrong with them using techniques like chromatic aberration; in fact it seems pretty fitting. That said, if people prefer it this way, well whatever floats your boat.

Looking at the modded version, you turned it into a modern fps.

sorry i have not time to properly investigate the options... so i dont know which one to edit to only disable Chromatic Aberration..

but feel free to try and post your result :D

[Wicked Sick]

Yeah, my file did not had the:

ChromaticUVNudge=0.000000
ChromaticBlendExp=0.000000

Inserted these lines, but did not work. Chromatic Aberration was still in there. ugh...

[nicolas.lartigue]

It's an old topic, but the best way to remove chromatic aberration and depth of field without the lost of Ambient Occlusion, is to change only these 2 lines to False in the "LifeIsStrangeEngine.ini" file :

bAllowDNEDOF=False
bDNEAllowChromaticAberration=False

you can set MotionBlur and MotionBlurPause to False too.

Note : bAllowDNEDOF seems to remove Depth of Field in the Cut Scene (you can check it with the cut scene at the beginning)

i hope this works the blurry edges is a pain
