Screenshots

Those are sweet shots, Killer Gremal. Maybe I should mess around with the camera settings as well. That would certainly resolve my gripe about the scarcity of sweeping vistas in DS2.

Are those camera settings at 120 meters or are they beyond that? Looks like they are > 120 to me.

Frequently I have played with these settings because i wasn't really happy with Irwin Ryan's SeeFar mods - well it's a good approach because DS2's camera is quite restrictive indeed but even the lowest variant of these SeeFar mods was too extreme for my eyes.
It was rather difficult to see/compare the differences between different camera and mood settings. Thus i made some test screens, and some of them still exist - very probable that all the following screen shot have been taken with form ~24m away while the moods were changing:

DS2 with default moods/fog

With FogFar30 ( * )

With SeeFar 'Low Moods'

*: Now all these ZoomFar/FogFar mod versions are rather obsolete - happily Elys has added an similar functionality in All*Saves making it much easier to find the most pleasant settings.

The frustum definately causes problems in certain areas. Camera distance is not a problem as long as the frustum is not altered. I had the slider set at "60" (default at 45, max 120) running Elys' new mod manager. And in the "Death Mask" tombs I was loading two different regions and my characters head was sticking through the floor of the region above me. May go back and grab a screenie to show what I'm talking about.

Edit: Head Bangin' Time!!! Know there are a couple of spots in my LOA Camera Mod that do the same thing. One I remember for sure is just after you recruit Jharmaya and then go down the stairs.

Jabbing Tharva..

Dead Jabbing Tharva..!! :woot:

- hey, that looks like a neat way to sneak up on the enemy, volkan..
..heh, heh!!

Getting closer to the end of Mercenary level DS2 with new characters, then I can finally play BW and see the end.

Talon Tore Up:

And Ganth:

Just got through "breaking" it with my new characters, now to "fix" it for the first time ever. Had a party that completed all 3 difficulty settings before Broken World came out, everyone in the high level 80's.

Kalrathia

Agallan Giant Waterfall

Agallan Portal

Archmage

Eva Doing her Michael Jordan

Harpies

Zaramoth's Horns

Zaramoth's Horns2

Valdis' Throne

Valdis Battle

Valdis Battle2

Agony of Defeat

Agony of Defeat2

The End

Somebody's Peekin'

Very cool screenies, volkan. Thanks for sharing them. I especially like the pic of the Agallan Portal, and the captures from the ending movie.

( Well one thing on this image is tellimg me that the War Hound Pet mod seems to be installed too.
And no, this is no easy prey so better keep away from it. )

I like how the Virtuous Rebellion War Hound helps to "Take out the trash" when you clean the streets too. May have to revisit Kalrathia and see what in that picture smells like War Hound to you. (And then whup it) :P

wow - those are some amazing screenies, volkan!!

- here's one of the Captain of the Guard at Snowbrook Haven

(left-click to enlarge image)

- smart outfits those guards have..

PS: I'm currently using KillerGremal's no-outlines mod..
- it means you have to watch the cursor for treasure, as the
blue outlines are also removed.. it's really good, though!!

Have to say I really love this mod, KG
it makes it all seem so much more filmic..:woot:

Got the switch to swim animations working for chore_walk. Still working on chore_fidget.

Currently she's standing up to fidget, which shouldn't happen if she's neutrally buoyant. It's a much more complex bit of skrit for fidgeting, because there are more ways to fidget, such as watching any potential enemies, and wandering over to join your friends. I thought I'd found the main bit of animation selection code in one of the included files, but it didn't work, so I'm still shovelling.

I built a maze region for her to swim in, with a pair of command triggers at the entrance to turn swimming on and off. Most of it uses generic dungeon node, but there's a section at the end where I'm trying to retexture the Insect Cave nodes as a coral reef. More screenies of that if I succeed!

Looks cool Ghastley. Keep it up. :thumbup:

Good eyes concerning your mod Killer.

Heheh. J/K.

So many nice screenshots guys. Schoolwork sure seems a bit boring right now..

ghastley, looking forward to more screenshots of Laura swimming.

- odd angles..

- heh, heh!

Instead of "outside lookin' in" we got "inside lookin' out". Odd angles are a welcome change to the scenery.

While outfitting the pet shop with a War Hound the impression raised that in a town like Kalrathia there should be more 'useless things of interest' - well now the pictures are quite evident but eg. the ones to snaffle or to fight against mostly not.
Generally about 20 game obejcts have been added totally but some of them are hard to find, eg. Kynos' room contains four additions - only the privileged one can find them all.

However before getting mad for looking for a lever or opening button here - this chest turned out as an easteregg - only the Lord could open it. But as we all know he sadly died long before his time...

Kept my old save game from before I started Broken World so I could do further exploring if necessary. Not sure if that is the real culprit behind not being able to advance in difficulty settings at times. (ie: Going back to Mercenary as a new game, instead of "continuing" after completing it, and moving to a different map)

Don't I know it! I'm still looking for a way to have her inventory size depend on the backpack. I could even live with the same behaviour as the speelbook - a "no backpack equipped" message and no content at all, but I can't find a way to do that either.

Hard to find good eye-catching screenies from Broken World, the scenery is "too" dark and dismal. (But I guess it's supposed to be "broken", huh?) ^^

Leeches at work:

Saw this coming and was able pause/advance slowly to get a good screenie:

And yes I adjust the levels/curves to enhance the pictures. The computer these were taken with is my friend's girlfriend's, and I have to run with bilinear textures and no shaders or shadows. (And it still takes several minutes to exit from game sometimes.)

And got a few more screenies to go with:

Bound Elf

Cinbri City

Final Puzzle

Solanum Critter

Surgeon

The Gang

Zaramoth

Zaramoth2

Zaramoth3

Has anyone else given Celeb'Hel his soulstones? Had to see what happened. :woot:

BTW, congrats on finishing BW.

Some nice screen shots!
The Broken World map is really quite photogenic - sadly there is no toolkit to (easily) carry on this ambience - but that's another story...

...to the best of my remembrance the following (NIS) explosion just leaves some smoke. :-o

He explodes and all that remains is his tunic laying on the ground. :lightning:

..we've all been there!!

- run!!

..the wide open spaces of the Snowbrook Foothills

- danger everywhere..!! :woot:

- great for spotting the enemy in advance.. :woot:

Indeed it is.

@Blondin235: Really cool shots you made in cinema resolution (*a little bit jealous* :evil:).
But probably they would look even better if you could set anti-aliasing on 4x in the properties of your graphic card!?

Can you control AA at that level, or does it just make AA available to the app if it wants to use it? If its the latter, I'm not sure DS would know to do so.
