I recently purchased a new laptop, Sony Vaio (ATI Mobility Radeon) running Windows 7. The color on all of my apps looks great, but when running in-game in Sh3 everything is a tad too much green. (Yes, I've played with the color profiles, but I abandoned it for fear of screwing up the color on all of my other stuff.)
I can handle the slight green tint on the GUI and daytime colors look acceptable (running OLC Gold and SH5 Water for Med), but in evening and night the colors look awful...way too green and mucky as a result (a little too bright as well). On my last laptop, the OLC environment looked fantastic! Just perfect. I only recently added the SH5 Water owing to the more realistic waves and greener Mediterranean water. Regardless of whether I run OLC alone or with the Sh5 Water mod, everything at night looks horrendous.
When I had an Nvidia card, playing with display colors was easy using nHancer. With this new ATI Mobility Radeon, not so much. As an experiment, I'd like to try tweaking the environment colors to match the idiosynchracies of my laptop's display but I am not sure which files I need to be editing. I looked in the .DAT files with Sh3Editor but it wasn't very obvious which files and strings I need to be experimenting with.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. If this has been addressed in a tutorial or another thread somewhere, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
