[REL] Sweet FX for Sh5

[Sjizzle]

What is it?
So in case you're new to SweetFX Shader Suite (or just SweetFX), it's a mod built on the InjectSMAA shader injector, that allows you to apply a suite of post processing shader effects to your games.


You can add SMAA anti-aliasing , sharpening and tweak the color, gamma , exposure and more.
It's meant to allow you to improve the look of your games and change the look and mood of it to your liking.
If you use SMAA antialiasing instead of MSAA or an even more expensive antialaliasing technique you can also make the game run faster (than with MSAA)

Effects included:

• SMAA Anti-aliasing : Anti-aliases the image using the SMAA technique - see http://www.iryoku.com/smaa/
• Cartoon : Creates an outline-effect that makes the image look more cartoonish.
• Advanced CRT : Mimics the look of an old arcade CRT display.
• LumaSharpen : Sharpens the image, making details easier to see
• Bloom : Makes strong lights bleed their light into their surroundings
• HDR : Mimics an HDR tonemapped look
• Technicolor : Makes the image look like it was processed using a three-strip Technicolor process - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor
• Cineon DPX : Makes the image look like it was converted from film to Cineon DPX. Can be used to create a "sunny" look.
• Monochrome : Removes colors from the image so it appears as if shot on black and white film.
• Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)
• Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)
• Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.
• Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.
• Sepia : Sepia tones the image - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepia_tone#Sepia_toning
• Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vignetting )
• Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditheri...age_processing )
• Border : Makes the screenedge black as a workaround for the bright edge that forcing some AA modes sometimes causes.
• Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

Why?
Isn't enabling mods with JSGME equivalent to dropping them in the game folder, with the advantage of being able to remove them in a single click?

[vdr1981]

Forget about my "cheerful" comment. Tested the addon and it works great, no side effects or FPS drop .
SweetFX_settings.txt offers all kind of settings so atmosphere could look gray, pink or any way you like...
Enabled WITH JSGME, no problems , everything is A OK...

Thx for the mod looks very nice.
Installed it with JSGME and it works fine.

After playing some more with the sweet fx i think the nights are too dark.Talked with the author of the "Dynamic Environment" mod about a more brighter "Brighter nights" version , but he told me it would be easier to look in the sweetfx settings.
So i think the shadows should be adjusted some more.

Anyway here are some nice prints with the sweet fx

After doing some research i found this ... https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com...ft-gamma-gain/ , for adjusting the shadows and controlling the light.Also i found a sweetfx configurator which lets u make changes in real time http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/?p=91, u can find how to use it on youtube tutorials.

, good job.

Upgraded to OS Windows 10 yesterday and now have directx12.
SH3-4-5 all working ok.

Gpu GeForce GTX770 now has updated latest drivers and getting better fps now especially on SH3.

Tried the Sweet FX SH5 mod again and had the same problem as before with not being able to load the game.
As an experiment removing the d3d9.dll file did allow TWOS to load as normal with the mod enabled.

This is the log file fault.

full path: D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\
redirecting CreateDevice
initialising shader environment
D3DXCreateEffectFromFile failed
try to use "D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5" for shader files

I would like to thank wildcard9766 publicly for all his help and time on Teamspeak yesterday unfortunately to no avail.
As all of you have this working and I cannot, changing the OS from 7 to 10, personally I believe it has to be down to a setting/s in the gpu; I have no experience in this but logic is pushing me there.

The game is under global settings, it is also possible to add SH5 so it can be setup to receive its own individual settings.
AA in game options is off to the left.

Pictures in previous posts are as the gpu is still currently set up.
