edit:fixed version

note:before replacing the original patch.dat/fat,you need to load into the game with original patch.dat/fat
and change all your clothes to private eye's
for the glasses,you need to wear the one that you can buy in biker shop.(there is only one glasses for sale in biker shop)

after changing the outfit,you can exit the game and replace the original files with the files that i provide


private eye outfit


biker glasses

 

Don't take this the wrong way please, but this screenshot is not very good.
Do you have some more?
Aiden looks really strange in this one.

 

He looks like that in the side mission too.

Overall, his model is very poorly implemented.

Another screen from xentax by redcomet

 

Shame about the model, but it is still cool to see Aiden in the game and to even be able to play as him.
Thanks redcomet for making that possible!

 

you're welcome.
i feel the same about the model of aiden in wd2,it looks very strange and look nothing like in the last game.

but strangely,the face looks just fine if it doesn't apply animation



i wonder if ubisoft is too lazy to make a new animation just for aiden so they decide not to make him in wd2

 

So I just tried the files you provided and my game won't even start now.
Any ideas what could be the cause of that?
I did everything exactly as you posted above.

 

sorry for the previous file i uploaded,that was a broken version because i messed up something.

here is the fixed version,plz download it,i will update the new link for my previous reply as well.

i have uploaded the fixed version,plz check it out

 

It works now
Thanks again for the amazing work!

 

Can one of you modding gurus figure out how to play as Sitara and Wrench? Apparently they're both playable during a mission near the end, haven't gotten there myself yet.

 

could someone mod the HUD so it can be toggled on/off even in director mode so i could get some reshade effects going on in screenshots

 

my Watch Dogs 2 mod side by side result comparison:

Spoiler

note:
it's without ultra textures DLC pack.

 

holy cow....for me this looks better than the watch dogs 1 with mod

 

It's only reshade, nothing to get excited about.

 

^ and if it could just reshade the ever present small white circular reticle in the center of the screen so it is not noticed, or just plain disappears. It spoils exploration mode for me.

 

Dunno if anyone's done this yet, but here's the shaders for 3DMigoto to disable the selection flashing for vehicles, objects, and people, and the GPS arrow on the road...

Spoiler

Vehicles and hackables: 6bb4ce995673128b-ps_replace.txt

Code:

void main( 
  linear centroid float4 v0 : TEXCOORD0,
  float4 v1 : SV_Position0,
  out float4 o0 : SV_Target0)
{
  // disable flashing cars, selection effect.
  o0.xyzw = 0;
  return;
}

People stop flashing: a7530f7e5c7b6189-ps_replace.txt

Code:

void main( 
  linear centroid float4 v0 : TEXCOORD0,
  float2 v1 : TEXCOORD1,
  float4 v2 : SV_Position0,
  out float4 o0 : SV_Target0)
{
  // disable flashing people, selection effect
  o0.xyzw = 0;
  return;
}

GPS Arrow on roads: e887fcbc37a47f48-ps_replace.txt

Code:

void main( 
  linear sample float4 v0 : TEXCOORD0,
  linear sample float2 v1 : TEXCOORD1,
  float4 v2 : SV_Position0,
  out float4 o0 : SV_Target0)
{
  // disable blue GPS line on roads
  o0 = 0;
  return;
}

To get this to work, download 3dmigoto from here (can't paste links, here's the shortened one https:// goo.gl /CYSywH) and make text files in the ShaderFixes folder named after the fix e.g. e887...etc.txt

 

Nice reshade Crubino, thanks.
