SweetFX Shader Suite with ARMA 2

Recommended Posts

In-game SMAA has an issue though. When you use NVGs in-game SMAA no longer works.

I noticed this recently.

@Sgt. Peppa.

would you mind posting your Sweet FX settings for Arma2 or PM'ing me with the settings? I'm curious to what your settings are and would like to try them. thx mate

I was pretty interested in this until I found out there is a certain performance hit associated with using it.

Even if its negligible, what I'd be using it for is to mitigate the mushy indistinguishable colors that seem to happen at long distances in A2.

That sort of thing should be integrated right into the game, it shouldn't be even reminiscent of games such as Modern Warfare 2 in which they purposely run post processing to unreasonably muddy color definition so its difficult to pick players our unless they're moving.

well i suggest you use ingame SMAA as we did some optimizing for our engine ...

Hi Dwarden,

Can you specify which optimizations have you implemented?

Are you planning to embed more options from SweetFX like saturation,

which I personally miss in game, and even make it adjustable (i.e. slider..) and not only presets??

Just for those reasons I disable it in game and use the external implementation,

But I think, and wish, you will implement more in game, to make things tidy and foolproof :)

Thanks!

This my settings link (Note: If you see a little dark or bright , Arma2 video options slightly increase or decrease the gamma settings)

Thanks for the tip DrCrow! :) Had to try this immediately, and it seems to work very well! I consider myself as some kind of color enthusiasist, so this made the level of immersion to increase a lot to me.

Note: If you're using beta and launch it via the actual .exe (not shortcut), extract the files to your beta directory (\Expansion\Beta).

My game looks like hell with these settings, tried screwing with gamma and brightness and it doesnt seem to help.

Like, a way over colored mess. Don't know why yours looks so good. :\

Can't get this to work with ARMA. I've put it in A2 root folder, and tried OA root folder, and still nothing. Tried Scoll Lock to turn off and on, no difference.

I turned off PPAA in-game incase SMAA was overriding it. Nothing.

Am I doing something wrong here? Need to turn something else off, on, idk.

EDIT: Nvm, It wouldnt load if i launched OA from A2 Launcher app, but does if I run OA.exe from its directory.

If I can't get SweetFX to run from the A2 Launcher (which loads OA, so I don't know why its not working), than this little gfx mod is junk to me. Shame, looks nice in SS. But I aint giving up my ArmA2 Launcher for it.

1: ) All SweetFX files drop root Arma2 folder

2: ) if you are using beta, all SweetFX files drop ArmA 2\Expansion\beta folders

3: ) Only editable root Arma2 directory SweetFX_settings.txt not beta folders

4: ) Try SweetFX Configurator http://www.mediafire.com/?49u0tnm52nm335i (drop 2 files arma2 root directory)

5: ) Drop your choice private SweetFX_settings.txt files ArmA 2 directory ( this my settings http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/46225971/file.html )

6: ) you get this activation key problem default key is Scroll Lock open SweetFX Configurator and click SweetFX Ä°njector settings you can change your default activation key

Oh ya... I am a idiot. I forgot I run beta and have the option checked in A2 Launcher.. just put the files there, and bam. SweetFX works. haha, oh, my brain sometimes is a idiot.

PLayed around with the settings for like an hour, took me ages to get something that I remotely like, and just gave up and deleted it.

Isn't it suppose to update in realtime once you alt tab back in? Mine never seem to, I had to restart via Editor to get them changes to appear

Set Lumasharpen to 0.15

Set Curves to 0.35

Don't use other effects. Enjoy much more lively visuals while still having the game perfectly playable (meaning being able to tell apart those distant pixels trying to kill you from usual ones)

Is there a way to get this working with the beta AND using a launcher (ArmA II Launcher in particular)? Works fine if I run the arma2oa.exe from the beta folder but doesn't even start when using the launcher.

Or just a working modified shortcut for the arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe would be handy.
