ADVANCED GRAPHICS SETTINGS guide for this game

[Dante]

The graphics settings of the game are pretty barebones and this guide will help you create your own custom graphics settings to change/enhance visual quality of this game. Basically in UE4 games you have to edit engine.ini file created by the game but this game does not create it. For this I have created a tiny tool (that I used back in Star Wars Jedi Fallen order) to change and add lines to the DefaultEngine.ini file created by the devs.

To use the tool first download and extract it with link below:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Me4fH6JGgJzqBRwag2qNWylQMO_sXXxY/view?usp=share_link

Inside the extracted folder go to the folder:
pakchunk99-Mods_CustomMod_P\odyssey\Config
inside you will find DefaultEngine.ini file. Open it with notepad and all you have to to is add your desired graphical tweaks/lines (All graphical lines with explanation listed below) below the [SystemSettings] in there. After that save it and quit. Then go back to the start of the extracted folder and double kill CREATE CONFIG PAK batch file and this will create a .pak file named pakchunk99-Mods_CustomMod_P.pak

After this all you have to do is copy the newly created .pak file inside YOUR GAME DESTINATION/odyssey/Content/Paks
Start the game and all your selected graphical changes will reflect in game.

ALL GRAPHICAL LINES/TWEAKS WITH EXPLANATION:
Add the graphical lines I have written below that you want to affect in game. I have added the function of these lines below them and also the values that you can add to them. Just keep in mind that in some settings you can only add 0 or 1 in value to disable or enable that effect respectively. Also remember to add the lines that only suits your preference. You don't have to add all lines

r.ScreenPercentage=150
resolution scale value 150 means 1.5% of in-game resolution

r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
disable film grain

r.Tonemapper.Quality=0
disable vignette

r.MaxAnisotropy=16
set anisotropic filtering value of 2,4,8 and 16

r.MotionBlurQuality=0
disable motion blur

r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
disable depth of field

r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
disable chromatic aberration

r.BloomQuality=0
disable bloom

r.AmbientOcclusionLevels=4
Ambient occlusion value of 0-4

r.SSR.Quality=4
Screen space reflection value of 0-4


r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=0
Above 2 lines to disable lens Flare


r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.2
r.TemporalAASamples=32
r.TemporalAASharpness=0.8
All these lines for better and more sharpened temporal AA


r.LightMaxDrawDistanceScale=3
r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.1
r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2
r.ViewDistanceScale=3
foliage.LODDistanceScale=10
grass.DensityScale=2
All these lines for different viewing distance enhancements


r.Shadow.DistanceScale=2
r.Shadow.MaxCSMResolution=4096
These 2 lines to Increase Shadow Distance

r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1
For sharpening

r.AmbientOcclusion.Method=1
r.GTAO.Combined=1
r.GTAO.ThicknessBlend=0
r.GTAO.Downsample=0
r.GTAO.FalloffEnd=75
r.GTAO.FalloffStartRatio=0
r.GTAO.SpatialFilter=0
r.GTAO.TemporalFilter=1
r.GTAO.UseNormals=1
These lines are for enabling GTAO, an advanced method for better ambient occlusion. Set the value of r.GTAO.FalloffEnd according to your needs. The bigger that number, the larger the AO is. I would recommend between 50 to 100 max on this game.


Frequently asked questions

1- How does screen percentage work?
Ans: This setting work according to the resolution you set in graphics setting inside the game. If your in-game resolution is 1080p and you set the value to 150, the game will render at native 1440p. If the value is 200, the game will run in 4K.
You can also get performance gain with this setting. A good example is...if you get like 55fps in 4K in-game resolution, you can decrease this value to 90 to get 60fps 4K experience without noticable visual quality loss.

2- How much performance will these lines effect?
Ans: Using GTAO and increasing view distance lines will make u lose like 10% to 15%. The rest of the lines will not effect performance at all.

3- I still don't know how to properly add the lines to DefaultEngine.ini file.
Ans: Here is the link to the DefaultEngine.ini file I used myself. You can use it or add more lines or values to it for yourself
https://drive.google.com/file/d/17pKu2mB5JXdSwQ1-0AksoMrbKSNoRbcC/view?usp=share_link

4-You can create your own engine.ini file or you can use Unreal Engine Unlocker (UUU) to make these changes as well.
Ans: Manual creation of the .ini file does not work and for the UUU method you have to type graphical lines every time you start game. My method is the only permanent working method.

That is all. Good luck and HAPPY GAMING :)

can confirm works great!
thank you for separating all of the lines and explaining what they do too, super useful!

[.:: リス ::.]

Thanks, with that we should be able to edit variables and so without needing UUU <3

Glad to help out guys. Trust me, it took me a loooooooot of time to get this to permanently work. I was a complete noob in extracting .pak files :P Took me an entire day and I am literally at the start of the game and did not progress at all and now I have to sleep so no gaming for me today :(.....but I am happy I learned something :)

Do you think you could tell me how you did it? I want to change the button prompts to switch pro controller's and I figure the easiest way to do that is unpacking the textures and editing them directly.

That will for sure be doable with Special K or similar, while not being a repack of the game files itself it should do the work (but you will have to inject specialK to the game itself)

You may want to ask the creator of this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/onepieceodyssey/mods/4
As they've already done a button prompt mod for this game.

Works great! Thanks!

Yeah these don't work, i had to unclock the console command to disable DOF

No, I successfully disabled DOF with these for myself. Maybe you entered the DOF line incorrectly or are looking at DOF in movie cutcsenes.
Also there is literally a DOF toggle in graphics settings inside the game, so this should not even be an issue to begin with.

Can we change FOV with this?

Not with the above mod but you can try going to your localappdata\odyssey\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
there you will find GameUserSettings.ini. Open it with notepad and anywhere under the [/script/engine.gameusersettings] you can add the line:

FieldOfView=70

then save it and set the file as read only. I don't know for sure if this will actually change FOV but people have done in other UE4 game, so you can try. Also the value 70 could be changed depending on your preference. Plz update me if this works and I will add this to the main post.

There is also this cheat table (credit goes to its creator not me)which lets you modify FOV permanently:

any way to change the camera distance?
