QeffectsGL: Graphic Mod for OpenGL-based Games

[Shadow]

Following pics are purely from ingame, only edit is resizing.



What is it?
OpenGL pseudo-driver that adds some graphical enhancements to OpenGL-based games.
To get it working, drop the files inside the .zip into mxsim's install folder and then add these lines at the end of the QeffectsGL.ini file.

Code: Select all

[mx.exe]
RenderFrame=-1

effects
Anisotropic texture filtering*
Full-screen antialiasing (MSAA)*
HSL color correction
Screen-space emboss bump-mapping
Screen-space ambient occlusion
Bloom
Depth of Field**

That looks cool in-game. Whats with the blurred line on the edge of the rider though?

About time something like this was available. Time to test it

good find shadow!

you are 1 bad dude!

for me after a quick test i dont 100% like the stock stettings from your DL, but a bit of tinkering will make this better!!! i think its a little too blured around the rider and in the background. maybe somewhere in between this setting and stock would be just right! ill play around

cheers al

My game keeps going "mx.exe have stopped working" doesn't even start up

[Ohagan75]

i just tried this and it makes my menu freeze and unable to click any options

[Midbeck]

figured it out, i'm gonna play some with the settings and try to get the blur to be a bit more smoother.

[Ohagan75]

realised why my game was crashing and i must say it looks amazing in-game. however i get a 'glow' around lighter colours which doesn't look good.

A subtler bloom effect:

Bloom=1
BloomSteps=3
BloomDarken=3.0
BloomScale=0.5

The problem with doing bloom like this, is that it's not exactly HDR, as the exposure doesn't change.

Been working on getting DoF to work properly

Thanks man.
Came upon it by complete happenstance while browsing through zdoom forums this morning. Didn't have time to tinker with the settings as I had to leave to the uni, so I just quickly scraped something together that didn't make my eyes bleed like the stock settings.


The source code is available at the code.google.com address so if there's anyone more code oriented they could take a look at it and improve the features/add some more like HDR etc. Bokeh style DOF like in crysis mods would be awesome.

Awesome, I'll have to try it out. I probably wouldn't use it for racing though, would just be a hindrance.

This is madness, the bloom has brought this game to life! Direct-x will be sick though. Sick find shadow!
