Enhanced Graphics

Description
NO LONGER MAINTAINED
I won't be making new updates to this mod or fixing any bugs as I don't play the game anymore. Will update it if I ever get back into the game.




Enhanced lighting and graphics mod that makes several changes to make the game look better

Changes
  • Improved environment lighting

  • Removed animated clouds and "god ray" particle effects

  • Enhanced camera that allows you to right click and tilt all the way down

  • Skybox around the world that shows clouds when at the lowest zoom and tilted, the color of the skybox changes with the day/night cycle of the game.

  • Papermap now changes brightness with the day/night system instead of only working when zoomed in.

  • Improved depth of field effect when zoomed.

  • Better Fog of War shader (you can toggle vanilla fow with the console command "shader_debug EG_FOW_ON")

  • Darker color overlay to make the flatmap colors better.

  • Adds a new map mode called "Pure Terrain" that does not show any map icons so you can see the terrain clearly. You can also use Ctrl+F9 to hide the UI to see the terrain clearly with any map mode.

  • Simple settings menu with buttons to toggle some of the changes the mod makes, settings include: Fog of war clouds, Papermap day/night cycle, vanilla tonemap, darker tonemap, and different levels of gui lighting. The menu is in a new tab in the location finder gui opened with the 'f' key, this window is used instead of the topbar to ensure compatablity with other mods. Unfortunately toggling shader settings requires console commands and because of this if you change any of the settings while in game achievements may be disabled for your save.

These changes do not negatively effect performance and may actually increase performance.

Will be compatible with all other mods unless they do the exact same thing or change a lot of shaders.

The mod can also be manually installed from github[github.com]

Thanks to terrapass for originally setting up the skybox utility for ck3.

Guys, it says that this mod is no longer being maintained in the description. So you're yelling into the wind. :(

Yes, Ironman is the issue. Can you please help me to make it default to no cycle, so I can use it in Ironman? Just tell me what files to alter, I will make a submod.

Maybe the issue is that I am playing Ironman?

Hm, I have a small issue. Clicking Papermap day/night cycle doesn't seem to be working. Anyway I can do it manually from the files? Thanks.

Sorry, just realised that sounds very demanding. It's just a fix that the error log suggests as the wording in your mod is apparently wrong according to the game and changing the words to fix it stop myself from having hundreds of repeating errors.

Hi, just informing you that your code in "gfx\map\environment\environment.txt" is wrong and needs to be fixed with the following below.

bloom_strength = 3.0
bloom_steepness = 0.8
bloom_threshold = 1.0
