Hello Everyone,
I started tinkering with modding eq and stumbled upon something very tasty.
It is called "sweetFX" - what it does is it injects some post-processing to your graphics card for DX 9, 10 and 11.
In laymans terms you can do the following with it (also depends on the game implementation too).
Add film grain effect
Cartoonize the graphics
HDR
bloom
FSAA
MSAA
digital vibrance
etc
Installing it is just a matter of copying the files with the right directory structure into the root of your EQ dir.
I didn't find anything about it on this site (I did some half-assed searches).
I have been experimenting with the settings - I would love it if we could collaborate and find the "best" settings for eq. On the presets site (linked below) there are no Everquest Presets uploaded (yet). There are some for everquest2 (didn't like them) and many many others for many other games.
If someone could do me the favour and show some of the before/after screenshots of what sweetFX can do we can get some serious interest in determining the best presets for eq.
I have only tested this with the underfoot client so far - but i would wager that some of the older, and all of the newer clients would play nice with it.
Now for the links:
