We even had a thread about it last year here on the Codex. Lots of comparison screenshots over there. Shield your eyes:

You're a bunch of fags who scares off others from testing this great mod. I made screenshots to prove it improves graphic.

Whatever. For me it looks better and improved atmosphere of some locations. IMO Bloodlines graphic is outdated and this little modification changes it to modern graphic.

I don't remember ignoring Konjad.


Though, it is probably a good idea.

 

[pipka]

Still?


I bet creepy malkavian female model at first meeting with Lily is still unfixed.

Watch this man, Drog. Watch and learn.

 

[SCO]

But it is. Since 7.5 i think.

What is not fixed is animations on the Tourette sequence, and the pc picking up phones and the pc moving to a waypoint in a animation (before the werewolf and freeing Carson),

 

[Clockwork Knight]

What is not fixed is

There...there's more? H-how? As soon as I finish downloading one, a new version pops up! IT NEVER ENDS

...but seriously, should I bother with waiting for 8.0?

Last time I tried ENB series it didn't work for me, for some reason I got a strange tribal in one of the corners.
However it was probably due to using Clan Quest Mod. Decided the graphical improvements were anyway not significant enough to justify extended troubleshooting.

Still, making it work with Wesps patch out of the box seems pretty to me.

I'll wait for Wesp to die. Hopefully that's when he'll stop patching and I can start playing.

Basically what I'm saying is somebody has to hire a lithuanian hitman to kill Wesp for me.

 

[curry]

Someone should tell that faggot Wesp to let it go already. He's no longer patching the game, now he's just fucking it up.

So why won't you do it?

why don't you figure that one out all by yourself

Or you could just play it now?
It's not that the changes are that big nowadays that you would miss much from playing now instead of waiting for the next version.

Also, if the changes would be major it would anyway warant a new playthrough...

(I'm actually not interested in playing Bloodlines again. I'm just making a joke about how he still manages to find (or rather make up) shit to patch and how the game is always going to be 'unfinished' in a sense. The only patch I recommend is the official one.)

 

[Mangoose]

Well ENB can be configured.

I should obviously put some more points into PERception...

Should have taken Four Eyes at character creation, maybe.

It's all Wild Wasteland. Majestic Horse, remember?

I have nothing against the russian coder bro who merely used his technical expertise to create a tool but so far the results have been...unpleasing

that icehancer thing for GTAIV is based on enb, right? That's the only one I think comes out on top over vanilla

amusingly enough anyone can see raw data on how the ENBised images konjad provided have been mangled by looking at their histogram through the levels tool

compared to the original the ENB images threw out most of their midtone and highlighting fine detail in favor of just popping everything out like moles through contrast glare and color saturation

You do realise you can tweak everything you want with enb right? Even make it look like you want (if you aren't so retarded that you think "hurr durr nottin can evar improve developers own visin of gaem")

San Andreas with ENB looks totally awesome.... if it is configured right. If you just take the standard esb setting, it looks like shit.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Let me rephrase it for you:

1) Very often I don't see good examples of ENB improving graphics. However that icehancer thing (if it's ENB) shows it can be used well.

2) Konjad's examples of good ENB usage are shit and photoshop says so too.

Seriously bro I would like to see SA prettied up if you can get fraps some screenshots and stuff

I've been thinking of playing it since my brief playthrough of gay tony left me cold (nice dialog though).

 

[Mangoose]

True, I'm 100% dumb with configuring ENB because I'm not sure which settings are appropriate for each game. The best I've done is turn up the color saturation for Darksiders because it's a brown piece of shit otherwise.

No. It's not fixed for a reason: no one knows how.

You may want to wait for the new clan quest though.

 

[Misterhamper]

Not my game, since I do not have it installed atm. But this one looks pretty damn fine. Full shadows, reflections, bloom, ssao etc

I myself used an "San Andreas for GRID" or something, and copy-pasted the settings (and tweaked them slightly) into an Resident Evil 4 enbseries, since they have zero performance loss. Can't remember exactly.

What most people here seem to forget, just so they can rage, is that enb is fully customizable. The amount of bloom, reflections etc etc. If you just use the standard setting, ofcourse it will look like shit. And maybe that up there looks like shit to you too, but it can easily be tuned down etc. The wonders of PC gaming

Another game that really benefits from ENB is Fallout's imo. SSAO and better black makes a huge difference since there is no shadows in those games. SSAO can be done from nVidia inspector now, withvery little performance loss though.

 

[Turjan]

2) Konjad's examples of good ENB usage are shit and photoshop says so too.

My eyes say so, too. I did not see a single screenshot where the ENB version did not look worse than the original. The ENB shots look as if the textures got psoriasis.

 

[villain of the story]

That kind of thing is hard to judge from screenshots. Either a HD video or playing the game with it to see for yourself is the only sensible thing, really.

Why is there cum dripping from his face and hands?

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Obsession.

I wonder if he's more obsessed with the game or all the attention he gets on the internet.

In my case, it was probably both. But during that period I pretty much never went outside. I needed to fill that void somehow.

But eventually, there was no point to it anymore. You can't play the same game for years. Once every quest, every item, every NPC's name are all in your head, the game is no longer any fun. Heh, one of the UAP testers joked that I could play Arcanum in my head.

I seriously don't get what is it that makes Wesp keep going.
