SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread #2

[ninjafada]

in the drop canvas of Ceejay:
http://dropcanvas.com/l46x9
you have the 3 shaders and the how to

or you can try using my .reg http://ninjafada.com/sweetfx/mpc/shaders.reg
it will add them et select them

ok i take this and put it in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic\Shaders]
or where ?

[ninjafada]

just double clic on it , or use regedit and import

I've been pretty good I just got my sli setup but my hx850 v2 was having some problems so I had to RMA it and am waiting for the new one. At least I got to use my sli setup for a day and it imo was worth the wait. I can't wait to use your dead space 2 settings but have to re download the game first but yep I'm waiting for ds3 as well and hoping its going to be good

Hi, too bad that man at least you got a very nice SLI, you so lucky in my country good pc parts are very very expensive. Thank you i hope you can do some nice Downsampling with it and share some screenshots ok? . Do you have DS 2 Origin or Steam? im saving money to buy DS 3, we can do some coop later what you think? It will so good DS 3 im sure of that, we need to wait and see it.

Thanks again and sorry for bad english

@ Gembel
Hi, how you been? THANK YOU! too man, greetings .

@ Mr.Bigtime
Hi, its still W.I.P. i will release when i finish it wait some more please, thanks.

@ kaneos
Hi, THANK YOU! too and no problem. About SweetFX 2.0 alpha try this: http://dropcanvas.com/l46x9/24 .
Remember use the FXAA dlls that comes with it. Thanks again and greetings.

@ gridiron whirlw
Hi, how you been? THANK YOU!, first time im playing the game because one friend recommeded it to me and so far i like it, good graphics, have nice humor, sound and more. I like the combats for now, you can play with 2 NPCs that for every chapter or mision you can select them to be your squad, also you can level up your weapons and characters with some kind of skill trees? to level up somethings like armor, enhanced health regen and more. Control similar to that king of game, almost all is done with space bar, it uses voice commands, you can use mic and give orders to your team, all is about decitions you take i guess because all the time your squad ask / comment you things and depending of how you answer they deicide to trust you or not, if they trust you they fallow your orders in combat, if they dont trust you , they dont fallow you and if they die then you lose, you need to protect them and do things to make you gain some respect. Each memember of your Squad have their own unique habilities that you can take advantage in any moment of the combats. If you ask me what i dont like , until now so far the control in special when you run because you run holding Spacebar and with it you can take cover to any wall,etc haha so if you re running and pass close to one then your character can take cover it and you can imaginate the rest, also friendly fire is activated all the time so be careful when you shoot, throw granades you can hurt / kill your squad and game end if they die or if you lose.

Thank you all again really and i was fallowing your screenshots on the other Thread, its very inspiring and too bad with my hardware im limited, thats why i didnt deicided yet to play Far Cry 3, i guess its good right?
Sorry for bad english.

Yes, FarCry 3 is much fun.

thanx bro..from today i deleted DA Player..MPC much much fun and better
but i still didnt use it..so i just use the codes in the shaders right?
no need to copy sweetfx to the mpc folder right?

Here's an instruction by CeeJay:

 Click to show spoiler

To use Vibrance in MPC-HC:
1) Make sure you're using an output renderer that supports shaders
2) Go to Play -> Shaders -> Edit Shaders (or press CTRL+9)
3) On the top blank line enter the name of the new shader - let us call this one Vibrance.
4) Press enter and MPC-HC will now create a new template shader.
5) Delete all the code in the shader code window and replace it with the Vibrance shader from MPC-Vibrance.txt
6) Choose ps_3_0 as the pixel shader version to compile with. If it won't compile right because you have a very old GPU then choose ps_2_0.
7) Go to Play -> Shaders -> Select Shaders , and add Vibrance to the list of Pre-resize shaders. Also remember to enable Pre-resize shaders.
After this use ctrl-p to enable or disable them

You're now using Vibrance with MPC-HC.

The settings can be edited in the top of the Vibrance shader code. - Press CTRL+9 to open the Edit Shaders dialog again.

I suggest you add it to the list of Post-resize shaders though, but it also works as pre-resize shader. You can even use both.
I just use it as a post-resize shader though.

And here are the ones i use, with my settings and all:

Curves:

I adjusted the SweetFX for the Skyrim and resulted in cyan tint

Effects enabled:
SMAA Anti-aliasing, LumaSharpen, Lift Gamma Gain, Tonemap, Vibrance

How can I solve this?

no don't copy anything in the folder
you just have to Ctrl 9 , to add/edit shaders, if you want for exemple to reduce vibrance
ctrl 9, select vibrance , line 3 you have
#define Vibrance 0.2

i changed it to 0.15 while watching some tv series, the guyz was too much sun taned lol almost orange

thx TCPIP i didn't port the others , gonna add them to my reg

Could you post your settings? Could be a combination of setting adjustments or just one specific setting judging by the picture.

[Dazaster]

I'm using SweetFX 1.3 with the default ENB 0.121 for Fallout New Vegas. I turned OFF all the options in the ENB EXCEPT DOF. The bloom and ssao are being handled by SweetFX but I get the darker colouring and DOF from the ENB.

I have dead space 2 on steam but due to my internet connection of being capped to 55mb an hour it restricts me to no online play what so ever which sucks because most games now a days are heading into the online play as being the selling point for the game with a cheap or not so thought out campaign tapped to the side. Pc parts where I live (canada) are still expensive which is funny if you found out how much it took to make the thing its probably so much cheaper than what your actually paying but I guess thats what stops everyone from buying a 690. I bought my second 670 because probably some time this year or next year a new series will come out and replace my card and I wanted something to match my other one and future proof my system a bit but as for downsampling I only have one monitor that allows me to do 1440p so I guess I could do some ok screenshots. Other than that DS3 from what I have seen looks pretty good I don't know if I will buy it right off the bat when it comes out but I'll defiantly get it some time this year but bioshock infinite is the game I really want to get this year.

PS: You english is really good I can understand you 100%.

i changed it to 0.15 while watching some tv series, the guyz was too much sun taned lol almost orange

thx TCPIP i didn't port the others , gonna add them to my reg

There is no error when i edit the post, but in the end it appears, so i added the code tags, now it should be fine, thanks for the tip.

Well that's your problem right there.
You are using very extreme settings and you're modifying colors in LGG, Tonemap and Vibrance.

Don't.

Here are some Skyrim presets made by other people that I suggest you take at look at. Maybe they will give you some ideas on how to better tweak the settings.

CeeJay, do you have a well, approximate feature list on what all you're working on for the next version?

No, not really.

I have a very long list with many of my ideas and then another long list in my head, and I and work on these ideas when I get an idea on how to best implement them.

But possibly you will see:
Improvements to Lumasharpen
Improvements to Curves
Improvements to Dither (done)
Cartoon shader (done)
Border shader (done)
Shaders to assist the colorblind.
CRT shader
FXAA

in the next version because these features were what I've been working on this week.
I can't say for sure, that these will be in the next version and there might even be other things I port or come up with that will make it in.

That'd be awesome! I've been thinking about how cool it'd be to add (semi-transparent) scanline effects to games.

I'm tearing my hair out trying to get SweetFX working with Far Cry 3 DX9. Enabled I get a blank screen and audio, disabled the game runs as normal. The 2 dlls and the .ini file are in the /bin folder. Everything else is in the main folder.

your game start in dx11 read the log.log
you have to change it in the option

hi guys , have a question about steam screenshots; is there any way when taking screens with steam, the effects of sweetfx remain on those screenshots?
im new to this sweetfx thing

I use FarCry3.exe. DX11 is disabled in-game.
