SweetFX for BMS
-
wow looks really great and increases the FPS??? double wow…
Cartoonish???
Looks U can tune it… Current glare effects are also cartoonish or better exaggerated… -
Doesn’t appear to work for me. BMS crashes at startup. Uninstalling SweetFX resolves the problem.
-
How’d you get it to work?
-
well, as I said, you can set it up however you like. if it’s too cartoonish - you can even turn down vibrance to negative values and make in black and white.
that’s the beauty of it - totally adjustable (even too much - can be confusing), and you can make it look like a 60’s movie with sepia and vignette on…
All up to youAbout installation:
there are 2 parts, one part goes to the Bin\x86 folder - (4 files) and the other goes to Data folder (4 files+SweetFX folder).
I’m posting the folder tree view here.
don’t forget first to disable MultiSampling to make it work.
there is an injector.ini file that allows you to set your desired keys to enable/disable the mod in game, take screenshots and inject changes you made on the fly.
and of course the setting file where you set everything…
read the readme and start having fun playing with it.
post screen shots here with your settings configuration so we can all learn from it and possibly reach an optimum setting.
Attached is my current settings which are in progress. Do try to make your own and post it.Cheers!

One issue guys with SoftTH (For 3 monitors) also use the same dll d3d9.dll so what happens here? we loose the SoftTH?
How can we make them work together? Or the dll covers SoftTH also?EDIT: First read on the forums says that the dll works for both so there must be no problem going to test it…

Thank’s ron533,
I’ve already got the installation, except the dxgi.fx resist in the Data folder here.
To me Falcon was always to dark (maybe it’s just my monitor), so I always wanted to
increase gamma settings, but in newer Nvidia drivers a game profile depended Gamma setting was removed.Sooo SweetFX solved my problems.
Thank’s ron, … great find.
Cheers,

wow fps improvement is hard to believe! how much?
and the brightness does look better!
-
You’re welcome LZ!
Glad it can sort out things as well…About FPS improvements - you should remember to check it without the MOD first and MultiSapmpling on, and then check it off, and run the MOD again with it’s method of AA.
it can vary according to your AA settings as well, as you can see - there is allot to tweak there….
In ARMA 2 it is implemented (with sharpening as an option) in game and replaces the classic AA, allowing noticeably higher FPS. -
Hi, thanks for this, cant wait to try. This reminds me of a mod for FSX, that tweaked the bloom settings etc and worked with a .dll hook, in a similar way. Thanks again!
cheers, Mark

Can this be made with some sort of sunglass shape instead of fullscreen?
This could give me the feeling of wearing raybans! :uham: -
can you create instractions or youtube video how the fix can be applied ?

I found this tutorial:
But it doesn’t work for me. With SweetFX installed BMS crashes on startup. After uninstalling it works fine.
-
Will take a look anyway … Amraam is telling me we should have look to that stuff… maybe could be interesting.
Thank you Ron for heads up.

SweetFX in ROF:
SweetFX in FSX:
DCS, IL2, etc… I have not found yet .
-
Works fine for me. Sharper textures on F-16 look very good. Colors a too much for me but I can adjust it.
-
Well if we can adjust it to better quality without being to cartoonish would be great.
-
mine the BMS does not start …. i click the BMS launcher and i get back into the desktop…

+1 … and it seams to be possible … But Amraam reported few drawback about AA.
-
Any confirmation of it working with SoftTH?
