The Bog Swamp Fever Color Correction

Description
This is a brown and ochre color correction for Swamp Fever. Swamps are, realistically, repulsive dumps that you wouldn't actually want to tread. So instead of looking like a dark forest with some pooled water, it now looks like a nasty, muddy, wasteland of a bog where you would expect foeces and sewage to pile up. Now the map looks like how it plays. The plantation map also retains a brownish-orange hue from the previous maps, with some very strong contrast with the sun, but is brighter and easier to see than the first maps. I do recognize that there are some issues with the contrast, particularly with the sun and some occasional bright lights. Honestly I was just inadequate at fixing it up and didn't feel like pouring over it meticulously trying to get it perfect. I could have made it more disgusting but I think this strikes a good balance that looks realistic and doesn't set the contrast to completely over the top levels.

This will only affect Swamp Fever. It may unintentionally affect some custom campaigns that use Swamp Fever's color correction. I can't help that. This was also tested with and designed for the default skybox. It may not look good with custom skyboxes.

Please let me know what you think below, and if you like this, please consider checking out my other color corrections. And thanks to the people who waited.

I'm going to be completely honest. I like this mod. The photos make it look like it's all dark and gloomy, but in reality, it's really dark and gloomy. The fog is way too close which makes it super hard to see. Even in buildings you can still see brown. Its as if they swapped all colors with light brown. For some people it may not be good but for me, it is.

:health:

You may need to play with the brightness to get a setting that works for you but if you don't like it, you don't like it.

wasn't there a version of this that was more green? I sadly can't find it anymore...

The color makes it look all dingy and unkempt, as it should to make it bog like, and yet, as always, the Plantation house is still gorgeous, just like ones in real life during different times and weathers

I love this color correction. It makes the swamp actually look disgusting but its also very dark. In the plantation map you can see in the picture that the sun is a very bright strange looking orange. I also think a brown green mix would fit well too.

Maybe mixing some green into the brown would be a good idea. From the pictures it looks way too rusty and swamps aren’t just rusty, they also symbolise the infection, illnesses... what a better colour than green. So making a late evening/nightly green with shades of brown would be wonderful.
