Hangar mods display badly

[wjschneider]

Anyone experience the problem of hangar mods displaying pixelated/blocky looking (the waterfall in bat cave)? In many cases textures seem to be missing altogether (fury). This is not the fault of Aslain's mod pack as far as I can determine. Version 0.9.9 seems to have ruined most of my hangar mods. 

[wjschneider]

Based on my experiments, Using the HD version of WoT most mod hangars won't display well using "improved graphics", but will display (but not perfectly) with "standard graphics".

[wjschneider]

Well, I fixed the problem I was having with the "Bat Cave", or IGR cave. Most of my tweaking was in the res_mods\0.9.9\system\data\hangar_IGR_cave.xml file. In order to adjust the lighting (latest version was too bright for me) I adjusted the HDR section, particularly the bloom and tonemapping subsections:

 

     <bloom>

      <enable> true </enable>

      <brightThreshold> 9999.000000 </brightThreshold>

<overBloom> 9.000000 </overBloom>

      <factor> 1.400000 </factor>

      <tint> 1.000000 0.900855 0.800000 0.000000 </tint>

      <mipWeight0> 0.090000 </mipWeight0>

      <mipWeight1> 0.220000 </mipWeight1>

      <mipWeight2> 0.470000 </mipWeight2>

      <mipWeight3> 0.740000 </mipWeight3>

      <mipWeight4> 1.000000 </mipWeight4>>

    </bloom>

    <tonemapping>

      <eyeDarkLimit> 0.450000 </eyeDarkLimit>

      <eyeLightLimit> 0.550000 </eyeLightLimit>

      <middleGray> 0.055000 </middleGray>

<whitePoint> 3.000000 </whitePoint>

    </tonemapping>

 

...and then I tweaked the waterfall to make it look "fuller":

 

  <VFX>

    <particlesColMult> 2.200000 </particlesColMult>

    <meshParticlesColMult> 2.500000 </meshParticlesColMult>

    <volumetricEffectsColMult> 25.500000 </volumetricEffectsColMult>

    <tracersColorMultiplier> 2.000000 </tracersColorMultiplier>

    <trailColorMultiplier> 9 </trailColorMultiplier>

    <particlesConfigXml>

    </particlesConfigXml>

    <particlesSpaceConfigXml>spaces/hangar_IGR_cave/particles.xml</particlesSpaceConfigXml>

  </VFX>

 

Too bad there isn't a manual on these things.

[Aslain]

Tested your settings, it's too dark now to me. Can you make it that tank is more visible and the rest is dark (like in your setup) ?

[wjschneider]

OK, I will try.

[wjschneider]

OK, Using these 2 files, how does it look?
