A new mod attempting to restore the 2018 demo! About 50% there already.

Made by null and L3X4R's

lofty thistle
#

Hey everyone

#

I'm announcing that R18 will be done as a collaboration between L3X4R's and me.

#

AKA. WT3WD, who made E3 2019 Lighting Mod and E3 2018 Lighting Mod

steady glacier
#

May be a stupid question, but do you mean remaking/restoring only the demo segments, or do you mean restoring the 2018 visuals/lighting/weather?

#

Also, if it is a visual restoration, will you guys be making any changes to the weather probability?

lofty thistle
#

I'm restoring the visuals only, maybe later the demo segments with a full team of modders. I'll for sure be making changes to the weather probability, I like to make them all have an equal chance.

steady glacier
#

Okay cool 😅 I was just a little unsure of what you meant by "attempting to restore the 2018 demo". This is great news though, I really want a definitive 2018 E3 mod that I can stick with, I think my favorite is POOP3R (funny name I know) but it has a lot of issues and doesn't change the weather.

lofty thistle
#

I love poope3r

#

I made it

steady glacier
#

lmao fr?

lofty thistle
#

yup

steady glacier
#

Damn, props to you then, it's my favorite

#

looks amazing

lofty thistle
steady glacier
#

I hope you take a lot of inspo from POOP3R into this mod

lofty thistle
#

I love it, but that's just not what I want to do right now

#

One day I'll make my ultimate mod

#

POOPE3R colors, 2018 lighting, 2019 atmosphere

steady glacier
#

that sounds like a dream come true

#

lmao

lofty thistle
#

and weather like NLA, an old project you probably don't know...

#

and not Skyrim NLA

#

that was unfortunate naming on my part lmao

steady glacier
#

yeah never heard of NLA

lofty thistle
#

It's broken as fuck, doesn't work

steady glacier
#

looks cool though

lofty thistle
#

was

#

actually

#

i had a sequel going on based off POOPE3R

steady glacier
#

damn

#

what happened to it

lofty thistle
#

i stopped working ob nit

steady glacier
#

rip

#

well anyway, what niche is this mod going to fit into?

#

I'm assuming you're aiming for like total 100% purist 2018 type look, right?

lofty thistle
#

100% 100%

#

Went like that with 2019

#

L3X4R, respectfully, doesn't get close

#

He's a cool guy

#

his mod looks better though imo

#

I want to eventually be able to create a full recreation of the 2018 video one day

#

All 48 minutes 100% identical

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

for sure

steady glacier
#

so this mod sounds perfect for me

#

R18

lofty thistle
#

R18

#

here you go

#

been looking for it

#

NLA's sequel

#

a bit of alpha footage

#

I still have it lying around

steady glacier
#

wow that looks pretty damn good

lofty thistle
#

there's a few seconds of stillness lmao

steady glacier
#

yeah lol

lofty thistle
#

VLC sucks

steady glacier
#

but those poop3r colors really make that shit pop

#

even in rain

lofty thistle
#

windows media player on top

#

oh yeah

#

POOPE3R has some of the best colors i've seen in video games

steady glacier
#

fr

lofty thistle
#

Dunno how I managed it

steady glacier
#

Yeah that shit looked so good it almost made me use it despite all the issues it has currently

lofty thistle
#

yeah

#

I'll fix it actually

#

Have the time

steady glacier
#

I mean yeah, if you want to lmao, go ahead

#

I'll def try this mod out too though

lofty thistle
#

L3X4R isn't available right now so I have a lot of time before the project gets started truly

#

if you don't mind what are the issues in poope3r right now?

steady glacier
#

There are many issues in missions with interiors, konpeki plaza for instance

lofty thistle
#

oh right

#

my bane

#

INTERIORS

steady glacier
#

it gets unbelievably dark

lofty thistle
#

yupp

steady glacier
#

same with the eye scanner, but you know that

lofty thistle
#

hate eye scanner

steady glacier
#

also, not sure if it has any weather alterations, but I'd like some probability changes

lofty thistle
#

okay, okay

#

seems simple enough for right now

steady glacier
#

other than that, I don't think I encountered any more issues, I did have to turn my gamma up a little though in general, days looked a bit too dark

#

the colors during day are good, I just think they are slightly unnaturally dark

#

if that makes sense

#

might just be me though

lofty thistle
#

Oh. I already realize my mistakes lol

#

used centerimportance rather than compensation

#

note to everybody making weather mods: exposureCenterImportance sucks

steady glacier
#

damn

#

I don't know shit about that, but if you need testing I can

lofty thistle
#

Don't worry

#

Well

#

i'll send it your way soon okay

#

This shit looks actually magical

steady glacier
#

yeah that looks amazing

steady glacier
lofty thistle
steady glacier
#

pretty sure I got these with POOP3R

lofty thistle
#

now a redmod too

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

yeah you did looks like it

#

to me sunny weather is clody but my install is shit

#

oh well...

steady glacier
#

any plans to tweak probability?

lofty thistle
#

actually

steady glacier
#

why is day so dark?

lofty thistle
#

yup

#

exactly

steady glacier
#

💀

lofty thistle
#

just

#

ignore this

#

thought it was gonna be as simple as 1, 2, 3

#

but as always with this game

#

NOTHING FUCKING WORKS

steady glacier
#

ofc ofc

lofty thistle
#

lmao

steady glacier
#

but like you said, you got time, may as well update the best visual mod currently on nexus

lofty thistle
#

well

#

I'll take some time for it

#

For right now, I have to get R18 started

steady glacier
#

fair I guess, well let me know if you manage to fix shit with POOP3R, as I said, I can help test

#

not sure what visual mod to use until then

lofty thistle
#

R19

#

promise you'll enjoy it

#

best experienced with rt

steady glacier
#

Hmm, even though I dislike how the 2019 version looked, fine

#

I'll at least give it a shot

lofty thistle
#

oh yeah me too

#

bit I grew so attached to it

steady glacier
#

not bad

steady glacier
#

wait my bad, forgot to use wolvenkit for it

#

that's vanilla

#

💀

#

Here we go

lofty thistle
steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

yes

steady glacier
#

that looks amazing

lofty thistle
#

indeed

steady glacier
#

something about that 2018 lighting just hits different

lofty thistle
#

in the light it's even better

steady glacier
#

2018 version just looked so natural

lofty thistle
#

I'll see if I can match the light direction

#

I think LEXAR can do that though, he once got it literally identical

steady glacier
#

that'd be great

lofty thistle
#

there's the repo and commit

steady glacier
#

awesome

lofty thistle
#

so if you wanna test out yourself just use R18.zip and disable R19 in WolvenKit mod manager

steady glacier
#

Yeah I'm reinstalling my game since I fucked my save, just gunna start clean blushy

#

I'll use it then

lofty thistle
#

oh god

#

you didn't delete archive/pc/content

#

right

#

or did you just nuke it in steam

steady glacier
#

Nah I legit just uninstalled everything to do with Vortex and Cyberpunk, wiped the folders

lofty thistle
#

personally, I just delete everything but archive/pc/content

#

so i dont have to do 70gig download

steady glacier
#

That's fair but idrc about that

lofty thistle
#

fair, fair

steady glacier
#

I'm more sad that my 30 hour playthrough is bricked

lofty thistle
#

it's just i live in the middle of nowhere and my internet sucks

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

with RT it looks identical

#

nearly

steady glacier
#

god dayum

#

that is stunning

lofty thistle
#

i feel like if i just flip the sun around it'll work

steady glacier
steady glacier
#

maybe

lofty thistle
#

oh jeez

#

mkv doesn't work on discord???

steady glacier
#

it's ok I'll just download it

#

holy fuck

#

dude

#

that looks exactly like the demo vid

#

wtf

#

like

#

exactly

lofty thistle
#

magic

steady glacier
#

crazy

lofty thistle
#

hehehehe

#

needs tweaking

#

this was after an hour

#

think of what lexar + me and more time can do

steady glacier
#

best mod on nexus

#

you guys should make a vid of the demo and your mod

#

like side by side

#

as a trailer

lofty thistle
#

that's the plan friend

lofty thistle
#

tylerPog

steady glacier
#

lmao

lofty thistle
#

and also 2fps because my 3070 is dying

steady glacier
#

lmfao I was about to say

#

surprised a 3070 is dying though

lofty thistle
#

i have like an OP ass rt config

#

it literally drains my FPS to 8 in dense areas

steady glacier
#

jesus

lofty thistle
#

but it looks

#

amazing

steady glacier
#

I like visuals, but not that much, in your case it makes sense though

#

for screenshots and shit

lofty thistle
#

yup

#

and R18 really works with RT

steady glacier
#

low effort shitpost

lofty thistle
#

best shitpost ever

steady glacier
#

so that'll be what it looks like for people who aren't used to playing slideshows

lofty thistle
#

mhmm

steady glacier
#

damn man, you exceeded expectations already

#

it's crazy how close the actual game looks to that E3 demo, people say it got downgraded but in reality the game got visually upgraded, the lighting was simply drastically changed

#

not sure why they changed it so much, I think it's clear the E3 lighting was the best for the world and assets they crafted, as shown with this mod, but oh well

#

like something about the E3 lighting looks super real

#

the colors and everything are just on point

#

then you got vanilla with this raggedy ass green filter

#

like bruh

lofty thistle
#

yeah hahha

#

they were so occupied on making the game work that they forgot to make it look GOOD

steady glacier
#

I mean the game does look good, the lighting is just fucked

#

like once you tweak the lighting, game looks fucking incredible

lofty thistle
#

mhmm

#

and my 3070 has buttery smooth gameplay with raster effects

#

60fps

steady glacier
#

they didn't have to change a lot of the E3 shit tbh, the UI and HUD also looked better and fit the world better

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

for some reason lighting mods make my game run faster

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

cdpr, bls fix your game

steady glacier
#

with lexar's mod I get like 20 more fps

lofty thistle
#

also for the love of god can someone make tweakxl but for weather

#

I wanted to do it but im lazy

steady glacier
#

I don't know shit about modding Red engine, otherwise I'd help

#

or rather, making mods for Red engine

lofty thistle
#

RED engine is a mess but it's a good mess and im sad they're abandoing it

steady glacier
#

everyone is switching to UE rn

#

it seems like

lofty thistle
#

yup

#

imagine epic having the right to revoke a game company's access to their engine lmao will totally not be abused

steady glacier
#

Yeah I can already see Epic scumfucking a bunch of devs

#

oh well

#

either way you swing it, UE5 is a damn good engine, even if the people who own it are less than ideal

#

and I'm sure CDPR will be babied by Epic since CDPR is like a premier user of their engine

#

so I wouldn't worry

lofty thistle
#

UE5 is a damn good engine for sure

#

I feel like it's gonna be temporary though, you can be sure most game companies are only using UE5 in the meantime to make money while developing their own in-house engine

steady glacier
#

probably tbh lmao

lofty thistle
#

that 15% hurts a lot apparently

steady glacier
#

but UE5's destruction and LOD tech is incredible

lofty thistle
#

idTech 7 >

#

did it before and better and with Vulkan

steady glacier
#

If Cyberpunk 2077 was built on UE5 bruh it'd have the destruction they originally wanted and no LOD issues

lofty thistle
#

my id fanboy side is showing

#

but regardless I love idTech and hope that it will go open source in my pipe-dream future

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

DOOM Eternal looked amazing, ran amazing, and had the same features as UE5 some years before

steady glacier
#

looked alright

#

idk much about idTech

lofty thistle
#

if they made a Wolfenstein game with idTech 7

steady glacier
#

idk man Wolfenstein has started sucking recently

#

only the Old Blood and New Order were good

lofty thistle
#

I liked the new colossus

#

mostly because of the scenery

steady glacier
#

the level design and story in NC sucked but yeah it was kinda pretty

lofty thistle
#

those art designers are damn good with that franchise

#

retrofuturistic dieselpunk cyberpunk aesthetic with real-world 1960s influences feelsgood

steady glacier
#

on god

lofty thistle
#

I think TNO's art design still holds up

#

if they had access to the 4k textures of idTech 6 you betcha it'd still hold up

steady glacier
#

yeah TNO has some serious engine issues but it still looks really good despite that

#

TOB is also very pretty

lofty thistle
#

TOB is amazing in general, but since I like crying I played it on the hardest difficulty and it took me a literal week to finish the final boss fight

steady glacier
#

lmao

lofty thistle
#

love how the cutscenes were still first person

#

immersive game design is better than anything else

steady glacier
#

yeah that part was cool, more FPS games need first person only cutscenes

#

like Cyberpunk, for instance

lofty thistle
#

I kind of like how Cyberpunk has no cutscenes

#

that's one part that they improved in from E3

steady glacier
#

agreed

#

people complain about that, but it'd be super unimmersive and limit the players roleplaying ability

lofty thistle
#

mhmm

#

as i said immersive game design best game design

steady glacier
#

fr

lofty thistle
#

love how this chat is basically now my own discussion realm where i can talk with people with similar interests

steady glacier
#

yeah lmao we prob shoulda taken it to dms but your shit is set to not accepting friend requests

lofty thistle
#

well, then

inner tendon
steady glacier
#

lmao

lofty thistle
inner tendon
#

I just have ONE desire null...

#

Please make the R18 look good without RTX

#

I have an RTX 2060, so rtx is off for me.

#

There's an E3 LUT, only looks good with rtx. Without that, it bugs

steady glacier
#

he already sent a vid, even without RTX it looks just like the E3 demo

inner tendon
#

Wait, those vids are with rtx off?

steady glacier
#

this one

steady glacier
inner tendon
steady glacier
#

and it was like 2 fps

inner tendon
#

hmm, than it's just mind bending that without rtx it looks like exactly the demo

steady glacier
#

yeah it really is crazy shit

#

although I don't think the demo used RT

lofty thistle
#

no it didn’t

#

2019 did

inner tendon
#

Yeah

steady glacier
#

yeah so it'll be easier to make it look EXACTLY like the demo without any RT

#

so it'll be better for performance

#

and replicate the look easier

lofty thistle
#

i guess but the baked lighting will make it difficult

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

null, with baked light you need to rebake everything?

lofty thistle
#

no

steady glacier
#

because the game at that time was basically a tech demo

#

/proof of concept

inner tendon
#

ah, okay

steady glacier
#

so trying to replicate baked lighting with a dynamic system can be difficult

inner tendon
#

One thing to note to make it look better null: As you can see the sunlight is bright af and yellow. The shadows are almost black. I hope for the best, take your time and post teasers so I go crazy 😂

steady glacier
#

e3 demo just looks like real life honestly bruh

#

no shit green filter

#

and yeah shadows in the demo are another point to hit

#

they were very realistic looking

#

although, I think they'd look better if they were just a tiny bit softer

#

color is on point though

sharp bone
#

Holy crap it looks amazing. I have been a huge sucker for e3 lighting mods especially since they started to do weird things with the colors in vanilla. I made a lut for myself to personally use that combines both the light colors of 18 during the day and still pops at sunset and night like 2019. I did get rid of alot of the im not sure what the actual word is but when its looks really bright thinks it opaque. Downside is its super dark in dark areas like the Takumara mission in the apartments but I started using simple flashlight for that. Definatley going to try out yours and give any feedback during my current playthrough.

steady glacier
#

made a lil stupid vid

#

just a really shitty comparison vid

sharp bone
#

Not shitty at all. Its so close its scary. And its the closet ive seen to date

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

took an hour making it

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Ehh its good it gets the point across. Atleast you can record. Im going to setup my second pc after all these new gen parts come out. Cause I can record but unless I dial things down its super choppy and I dont like it. So going to start using a second pc with capture card to the main one

lofty thistle
#

don’t ask why i’m still awake i can’t sleep today

steady glacier
#

gonk

lofty thistle
#

I AM

sharp bone
#

lol

lofty thistle
steady glacier
#

but uh

#

he recorded the gameplay

#

so

sharp bone
#

Yeah I know. All good

#

Question would this work on 1.52?

lofty thistle
#

umm

sharp bone
#

I am still using it cause 1.6 and its weird gpu usage bug it has is killing me staying over 60

lofty thistle
#

if you take the .archive file from the zip only and put it in archive pc mod it would work

#

it’s on github

steady glacier
#

wowieziesisiwiowoiwo
the only thing this mod needs is harsher shadows and less of a blueish hue

sharp bone
#

Ok ill give it a shot. I have both but just preferring 1.52 till hopefully the patch out the issue in 1.6. Either way Ill try it on both

#

Thank u so much Null

#

Do u have rtx on? Could explain the tone

steady glacier
#

Nah he didn't in that vid

sharp bone
#

ahh ok

steady glacier
#

the one with rtx was like 2 fps

sharp bone
#

Ill test how smooth it is with all rtx. I was playing at 4k with all rtx except lighting. But now im using 1440 with all rtx and on 1.52 its doing really good. Only that damn city park I go down to like 55fps

steady glacier
#

Damn you must have a better rig than even me

#

4k with rtx

sharp bone
#

3080ti 5900x

steady glacier
#

ah nice, I got a 2080ti and an i9

#

I run at max settings 1080p no rtx, on patch 1.6 I usually get like 40-90 fps

sharp bone
#

but even it has some slight hitches with intensive areas. Which are noticable bad on 1.6 another reason im just using the old one for now. Also my Crowd density mod helps alot in cpu bound areas

steady glacier
#

weird

#

I just run on everything max I never really get hitching, just frame drops in some areas

sharp bone
#

Nice I started playing with 2080ti and 9900k also at release. I used 1440p I think with just relections

steady glacier
#

I don't use DLSS because I hate the sharpening it applies

#

if I used DLSS I could run with max psycho RTX

#

but eh

sharp bone
#

ahh yeah I always used dlss

steady glacier
#

I noticed RTX causes a ton of ghosting

#

for some reason

sharp bone
#

Honestly its not bad. Under 4 k never use higher then quality. But with 4k even performance looks good and almost native. Till you look for things off in the distance

#

Yeah ghosting is random for me as well. Seems like at certain angles

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

I guess hitching isnt really the word I get like camera movement hiccups. They are like microstutters but a bit more noteciable in certain areas

steady glacier
#

I'll test it

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Yeah at 4k I used it at 40. At 1440 I have it at like 80

steady glacier
#

I absolutely hate artificial sharpening

#

it always makes the game look so cheap

sharp bone
#

Yeah I think you are more gpu bound then me and that helps. Probs with the stronger cards cpu becomes the weak part

steady glacier
#

game loves the CPU too

#

with all the NPC's

sharp bone
#

Oh for damn sure lol

#

Atleast its not as bad as Spider-Man. It makes the cpu even cook its meals lol

steady glacier
#

damn spooderman ran great for me

#

I think the worst running game I've played to date is Battlefield 2042, holy fucking shit that game is actually so badly optimized that DLSS DECREASES performance and running at a higher res INCREASES it

sharp bone
#

Nice. Runs good for me also but had to put Vsync on fast and frame limiter to slow it down a bit. Then was fine. But all cores still at like 80 percent

#

Oh damn. I didnt know any game could make dlss do that lol

steady glacier
#

it hasn't gotten any better either

#

the reason DLSS decreases performance is because the game only uses 50% of your GPU and 50-70% of your CPU at all times regardless of specs

sharp bone
#

So it actually causes a gpu bottleneck somehow for it to increase without dlss

#

damn

steady glacier
#

so by turning up the res, you start using more of your GPU

#

which makes the game run better

sharp bone
#

That is crazy

sharp bone
#

lol

lofty thistle
#

Based Montenegro

steady glacier
#

@lofty thistle GO TO BED

sharp bone
#

hehe

lofty thistle
#

i am in bed

lofty thistle
#

vaas? more like based

steady glacier
#

Vaas Montenegro is in CYberSlunk 23069 R18 ultra grapfics remaster edition

lofty thistle
#

ok now i’m actually tied

sharp bone
#

Ok going to try it out now. Im saved at V's apartment so will see how it all looks. Also have to the Malestrom mission also

#

Ill see it I can record the whole thing

#

ok on 1.52 interior lighting is really messed up. Going to try full install on 1.6

inner tendon
#

where to download beta?

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

thanks!

sharp bone
#

Yeah looks great outside just inside has some light bleeding issues and an auto exposure would help with being really bright like through the apartment window and the light by the elevator. Also looks like motion blur is disabled and volumetric fog is set to low?

#

But damn it is so close its unreal. Even inside the apartment as soon as I loaded it looks exactly like 2018 vid

#

The way the color is with the lighting etc

inner tendon
#

@sharp bone

#

can you please help me install the mod?

#

there are multiple r18s

#

that's why I ask

sharp bone
#

you have version 1.6 and redmod?

inner tendon
#

yes, of course

sharp bone
#

oh ok maybe I got the wrong one lol ill check

#

oh no its just the zip one you download I think

inner tendon
#

zip in zip

#

+packed has r18 too

steady glacier
#

I need this fucking song for the showcase vid

#

URHGHGH

inner tendon
#

what are those noises?

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

huh im not sure myself about the install

steady glacier
#

I can't figure out where the music is from

#

or if it's on the OST

sharp bone
#

Its from the cutscene when V is in the bed

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

was a e3 only song from the scrapped cutscenes

steady glacier
#

dude that's like the best fucking song

inner tendon
#

it is

#

it's THE cyberpunk song

steady glacier
#

the cyberpunk is real

#

devs on their way to cut everything good and feasible out of the E3 demo:

sharp bone
#

I could make it as a main menu song

steady glacier
#

it'd be perfect

sharp bone
#

Is there a link to the actual mp4 of it?

inner tendon
#

i just don't know why they deleted and cut stuff, If I would be them I would have packed assets into a file and store it, because who know what other people can do

#

cdpr knew that modders will come in

#

and they just erased the old cp

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

ok thanks. Ill work on it tomorrow

steady glacier
#

shit that didn't need to be changed

#

but was anyway

sharp bone
#

I already have my end credit never fade away menu music mod so Ill just put this in over it

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

can somebody help me install the r18?

#

😂

sharp bone
#

ill download the whole thing and look

inner tendon
#

okay

inner tendon
#

is it 320kb?

sharp bone
#

ok downloaded it. Thank u

inner tendon
#

nope, it's 160

#

@sharp bone

#

don't start working

#

I'll send it in 320kb/s bitrate

steady glacier
#

oh ok

#

he has 4k uhd version

sharp bone
#

hmm I have both try the bigger size one

#

I put the smaller one had some issues maybe thats why

inner tendon
#

5.26mb vs 2.63mb

sharp bone
#

Oh you mean the archive or the song?

steady glacier
#

song

inner tendon
#

no, the mp3

sharp bone
#

Ahh ok there also two size different archives for r18

steady glacier
# inner tendon

@sharp bone use this one instead of the one I sent, it's better quality

inner tendon
#

mine is 320kb/s and his is only 160kb/s. Less noise with mine

sharp bone
#

oh nvm im dumb both Archive are the same size

steady glacier
#

me trying to touch the 2018 demo

#

(the pain is too great)

sharp bone
#

actually Ill try and do the mod real quick. I dont need new wolvenkit for that

inner tendon
sharp bone
#

ahh ok

inner tendon
#

i dunno, the tonemapping is too hard for me

#

it has the same method of other luts

sharp bone
#

Is the interior messed up for you also or just me?

inner tendon
#

haven't checked, give me some time

#

lemme see

steady glacier
#

I'm just going to test it on pure vanilla while I have the oppertunity

sharp bone
#

I havent seen other lut mimic the right lighting though. Color is similar but like I said its working with the lighting well

steady glacier
#

POOP3R is/was the best looking E3 lighting mod until this one

#

which is made by null too

inner tendon
sharp bone
#

Yeah thats why in mine first thing I got rid of is the washed out. But Im not skilled enough to make ledgit changes to the enviroment and lights

inner tendon
#

well it seems like interiors are way brighter than they should be, like there little or no shadows

#

but eye adaptation is on point

sharp bone
#

for me adaptation is off but yeah same brightness for actual interior lighting for me as well

#

exposure did get better with rtx off though

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

yup very nice I tried it before. On my oled was just a bit too dark was all

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Yeah its still there

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

I have it saved also

steady glacier
#

POOP3R has really bad issues though despite looking great at certain times

sharp bone
#

Same I tried to adjust gamma but kind of ruined the look for me

#

prob just my setup. that why I made the one for my setup

steady glacier
#

fair

#

anyway this R18 mod is way more accurate and pretty than POOP3R imo

sharp bone
#

how mine looks

steady glacier
#

not too bad

sharp bone
#

But once this one is dialed in I am going to rock only this one. The outside look is to die for in r18

steady glacier
#

yeah fr

#

looks insanely close to demo

#

surprised it's even possible without baked lighting, just goes to show that THEY DIDN'T NEED TO FUCK WITH SHIT LIKE LIGHTING AFTER DEMO

#

💀

inner tendon
#

guys, is this the intented look?

sharp bone
#

I think the prob is that demo wasnt real. They do have files in the game but they are from another engine

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

HMm

steady glacier
#

the demo was just that though, a demo

#

as I said, idc that they took away useless ambitious features like advertisements pointing you to vendors

sharp bone
#

ahh ok im not sure. Its been a while since I looked at them in wolvenkit but they looked different

steady glacier
#

I just want the old UI and lighting

#

which is something they could have obviously very easily stuck with

#

but they didn't

#

for some reason

inner tendon
steady glacier
#

could just be the whether though

#

if it's foggy

#

sometimes the game does that

sharp bone
#

I think the gamma might be high

#

what is your gamma at?

#

Mine is 1.04

inner tendon
sharp bone
#

yeah

inner tendon
#

cannot check it

#

where is it?

steady glacier
steady glacier
inner tendon
#

than that's not ingame

steady glacier
#

display settings

#

in the in game settings

#

and if it's not there, then it's under graphics

#

forgot which one it's under

inner tendon
#

there's no gamma in cp

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

oh, wtf

sharp bone
inner tendon
#

never seen it

#

mine is at 1.0

sharp bone
#

yeah thats default I think

inner tendon
#

should i go for 1.05?

#

it looks like this rn

steady glacier
steady glacier
#

that looks about right

#

take a screenshot in the sun

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

yeah

#

to be exact:

#

it felt like an implant

#

not a 2d ui, but rather a 3D, live part of v

steady glacier
#

yeah

#

there's a reason Edgerunners uses that 2018 style UI

#

cause it's supposed to be part of your brain interface

inner tendon
#

yeah

#

exactly

#

i just hope spicy fixes the ui

#

he already works on the inventory from 2018

#

sheesh

#

that guy is on something

steady glacier
#

yeah 2018 hud mod is great but it needs all the bells and whistles into one pack

#

needs a lot still done

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

man I hate how wolvenkit sometimes closes on my the first time I go to pack a file

#

Music mod is almost done

steady glacier
#

I fucking hate wolvenkit

#

main reason I won't use R19

inner tendon
#

those were clean

steady glacier
#

everything about that old UI was clean

inner tendon
#

facts

steady glacier
#

new UI is so shit in comparison

#

all blue and yellow

#

super convoluted

inner tendon
inner tendon
#

fits the new graphics

#

but it's plasticy

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

doesn't give the dark and serius vibes

steady glacier
inner tendon
steady glacier
inner tendon
#

fck green

steady glacier
#

why'd the make the lighting have some shitty green filter, this isn't 2010 anymore, nobody thinks throwing a filter on your game = good graphics

#

💀

steady glacier
#

seems a little too bright

inner tendon
#

it is infact

#

don't know why

steady glacier
#

try and match your gamma to this screenshot

#

if possible

inner tendon
#

maybe this much

steady glacier
#

yeah that seems a little closer

#

like I said though, I think it has a little too much of a blueish hue

inner tendon
#

ye

steady glacier
#

demo has like no hue

#

/filter

inner tendon
#

exactly

#

the sun is bright and yellow

#

no tint

steady glacier
#

yes

inner tendon
#

shadows are blackish

steady glacier
#

it looks real

steady glacier
#

top one is demo

inner tendon
#

hmm

#

i think it's because of volumetrics missing

steady glacier
#

could be

inner tendon
#

there's a fog of some sort in the base game

steady glacier
#

other than the shadows and the blueish filter though, the video that null sent is on point

#

and volumetrics, I guess

inner tendon
#

maybe he recorded a more up to date version

#

maybe the github one is older

steady glacier
#

could be

#

he just made it in like an hour

#

I'm just giving feedback

#

final version will prob look exactly like the demo as long as they follow the entire 48 minute video and take inspiration from it

sharp bone
#

Ok its working. Had a weird issues where inputs got blocked for some reason but fixed it. Ill give you all a gdrive link

steady glacier
#

cool

inner tendon
#

noice

steady glacier
#

updated my little showcase a bit

#

I'll prob record some of my own gameplay for it

#

cause why not

sharp bone
#

nice

steady glacier
#

that song goes so fucking hard though

#

thank you for the mod

sharp bone
#

no prob

#

Feel free to put on Nexus if you want. Just throw me a shout. Ive been struggling with posting mods since not everyone is happy with stuff and kind of get down on myself when I hear it lol

#

Plus this wasnt my idea was for you all so that also

steady glacier
#

also sorry about the haters

inner tendon
#

put me in the shoutout too 😎 😂

#

no need, but I would thank it. Your choice

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

same on Nexus Skater6453. And ehh its cool. Not really haters but just people wanting custom tweaks for themselves for things after I made a good version already. And hate to make optional files just for certain people and cant please everyone and stuff like that. You know

steady glacier
#

fair

steady glacier
inner tendon
#

name or link?

steady glacier
#

link

inner tendon
steady glacier
#

k cool

sharp bone
inner tendon
#

fits perfectly

sharp bone
#

Nice yeah Spicy's hud and menu are awesome

#

Another cool thing for R18 would be the Beta text at the top of the screen. I have actually been wanting to make that. But idk where to start with UI stuff.

steady glacier
#

made new header image

#

lmao

inner tendon
#

❤️‍🔥

sharp bone
#

absolute fire very nice

#

These are the indoor issues Im seeing

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

But outside, my goodness!!❤️ e3

sharp bone
#

Yup its scary close

steady glacier
#

sun just needs a little bit more white/yellow

#

to make it look really sunbleached

dreamy arrow
sharp bone
#

yup just very little tweaks

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Yo Spicy. Say E3 and he contractually has to show up lol

steady glacier
#

true

dreamy arrow
sharp bone
#

hehe

sharp bone
inner tendon
#

there's already a mod for it, isn't it?

#

holy

#

you are the author

#

sheesh

sharp bone
#

Idk if there is another one. But I made this a while ago

#

Ahh ok yeah lol

inner tendon
#

already downloaded it and rockin' it

#

😄

sharp bone
#

oh awesome ok

inner tendon
#

but what was your source?

steady glacier
#

cause like

#

Johnny is the main singer of Samurai

sharp bone
#

I got the song straight from the digital album. Bought it a while back.

inner tendon
#

oh, alright. How did you manage to balance the audio? Because I tried to replace songs ingame but failed, some songs were too loud or too quiet

sharp bone
#

Agreed I like both. But figured for E3 purists like myself would be neat. And makes it so it plays on the radio at the beggining of the game

#

I messed with it on audicity but since it was clean from the album it didnt need much. Just some equalizing

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

yup

inner tendon
#

guys

#

I think i know why the r18 is blue-ish

#

because null started to work from the r19 file, which is blue. There might be leftovers

#

i think that's the case

lofty thistle
#

you nerds not slept yet?

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

lol ill sleep soon

inner tendon
steady glacier
#

I pulled an all nighter because I'm an owl

#

and I got today off

frigid cairn
steady glacier
#

It's very perplexing as to why it was cut

#

I really don't get it

sharp bone
#

its because too many cooks in the kitchen with games nowadays it seems

#

If I was in charge of anything with a game. I would make it a point that the game wont be shown anything of till everyones mind is made up on the creative direction. Then show it as a demo with everything in there staying till the final product. Only extra stuff would change

lofty thistle
#

need to make adaptation slower

#

And change skydome

#

should make it have less blue tint and darker shadows

lofty thistle
inner tendon
lofty thistle
#

yea

inner tendon
#

it's already slow imo

lofty thistle
#

currently it’s too fast and is able to give the game too neutral of a picture

#

in 2018, it’s really slow lmao

#

I used R19’s adaptation

#

not 2018

#

because 2018 adaptation doesn’t have the right variables

#

so I’ll need to spend a few hours tweaking adaptation

lofty thistle
#

y’all gonna have to wait though

sharp bone
#

all good

#

I took a look at the 02 env and I cant even begin to make heads or tails of how you all know what half of it means. Did u see the shots I took of the interior light bleeding and too much light in the middle of the apartment complex?

lofty thistle
#

I did, and I dont. LEXAR is the master of that

#

He’s been doing env edits for years before I was even into modding

#

BUT he can be very busy

sharp bone
#

Ahh ok

pale bison
#

Can some-one share demoR18? Can't download from github, browser lock

#

And want to say author, that R19 has the same problem with mod, interior look needs fixes

steady glacier
#

and the sun needs to be even brigther whitish/yellow

lofty thistle
#

Well

#

back home :)

sharp bone
#

nice

lofty thistle
#

I need someone to help me out here: the roads in the 2018 demo were a grey color, meanwhile in the game they're black

#

can anyone with material experience just tweak the texture a little bit for me?

sharp bone
#

I havent messed with textures in Cyberpunk but Ill see if I can.

lofty thistle
#

little detail but significant

sharp bone
#

Agree

lofty thistle
#

first thing on the chopping block is the chromatic aberration

steady glacier
#

I think those are demo

#

maybe

sharp bone
#

I was wondering did u disable motion blur?

lofty thistle
#

no

#

I use motion blur on high

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

huh

#

looks good, but not perfect, think it'll do for now though'

sharp bone
#

ahh ok weird on mine it looks like no blur which I use on high also

lofty thistle
#

I'll turn it up

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

I have the value lower than vanilla

sharp bone
#

ahh ok

steady glacier
lofty thistle
#

@steady glacier hype

steady glacier
#

now that's looking fucking good

#

wayy more accurate than the vid yesterday

#

I still think the sun needs just a little bit more blinding white, but overall much better

#

it's almost there

lofty thistle
#

as i said, that's all exposure control now

steady glacier
#

you got the shadows down right though

#

they are almost exactly like demo

#

same with the coloration

#

got rid of that blue filter

steady glacier
#

null best dev

true iron
#

I'll keep an eye on Dev stuff because 2018 seems the closest to what I'm after. Do have a question though, why is all the env modding just trying to recreate E3 looks? Just wondering

sharp bone
#

I had some road textures already and I think they might actually be WT3d's actually. I already packed them if you like them

steady glacier
#

and since it's feasible to replicate, people strive to do it

true iron
#

Yeah but vanilla lighting is kinda terrible

#

Imo

lofty thistle
#

looks great in rain

random owl
#

Omfg that is just beautiful

true iron
#

And the trademark green LUT was....an interesting Dev decision, not that isn't easily fixable

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Nice

steady glacier
#

it's almost like the 2018 lighting is what they designed the assets around

#

so that is why people try and recreate it

sharp bone
true iron
#

It cover rougher roads out in badlands and such?

sharp bone
#

It should. I dont think i have a save out that far. I could just go out of bounds and check here in a bit

true iron
#

Not found really many material replacers other than that 4k surfaces mod on Nexus that I can't seem to find solid info about

sharp bone
#

Forgot I do have a save on 1.6

true iron
#

So I'll probably give it a try

sharp bone
#

Warning those textures are extremely!!! Vram heavy

#

I was using 11.5 gigs of my Vram with those textures

true iron
#

I made Skyrim use like 20gb. I think I'll manage kek

sharp bone
#

But they do look really good

#

Oh nice well yeah you will be good lol

#

I have a 3080ti so was too close for me. Assume you got a 3090?

true iron
#

Have to max my 3090 or I'll be sad about 4000 series

sharp bone
#

lol true. Yeah Im going 4090 this time around

true iron
#

I'm likely to lose all my free time to Rtx remix so

sharp bone
#

Yeah that looks so neat

true iron
#

I need to get my hands on it to see how viable it is for Skyrim tbh

sharp bone
#

Im guessing all of that stuff is them trying to kiss up to Gamers again after proof of stake

#

But if thats the case prices a bit lower would have helped also lol

true iron
#

Nah. RTX remix is purely a commercial move.

sharp bone
#

true

true iron
#

Force AAA studios into RT adoption

sharp bone
#

Yeah and even for older games also so they are kind of forcing them for no excuses

true iron
#

How can you release a fancy new shiny game that looks worse than 20 modded games from 2008

sharp bone
#

Yup

true iron
#

Kinda kills the PC remaster market too

#

Which is good considering most of them are dog

#

I'm probably going a bit too far off-topic for this thread, sorry

sharp bone
#

Yeah alot of modded remaster are better anyway

#

its cool

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

yup

true iron
#

Any of you lot have any experience of this? https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/2723
Can't really find much about material replacement mods that have been released on this server (unless I'm just blind)

steady glacier
#

I guess probably because the game already looks pretty good

#

texture wise

true iron
#

Welllllllll

#

It could be better

steady glacier
#

agreed, but for a vanilla game, it's some of the best texture work I've seen

#

there are a few areas that need improvement though

true iron
#

Possibly a streaming issue with replacements?

steady glacier
#

like graffiti

steady glacier
#

maybe

true iron
#

The only other big thing I've seen is that Blade runner mod that replaces all the ads n such

steady glacier
#

yeah

true iron
#

Can only use that if I yeet all the LAPD stuff myself first

#

Regardless I need to make a mod of some kind. This name colour bothers me

steady glacier
#

I made a mod and didn't get my role

true iron
#

I have an idea I just need to learn how to do it lmao

#

Jackie's free bike needs nerfing into the ground

sharp bone
#

You should get your role

chrome ore
#

I am monitoring this bread with great interest 👀

steady glacier
chrome ore
steady glacier
#

bread

sharp bone
#

The interior Lighting now is doing alot better. Just small things

chrome ore
#

its ready? 😄

steady glacier
#

but it works

#

mostly

chrome ore
#

ill install it then. first need to finish troubleshooting my mods >:3

steady glacier
#

it at least looks like the demo rn aside from exposure and a few other minor details

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Shots I took the other day

steady glacier
#

also roads

#

thanks to you

chrome ore
#

What do yoou recommend pairing this with?

steady glacier
#

it's standalone

#

just use R18 and the roads if you want

chrome ore
steady glacier
#

the point of the mod is just to restore the E3 demo visuals, so it doesn't have a reshade or anything

#

also not compatible with any weather mods

chrome ore
#

Why is that?

steady glacier
#

tuned to make it look like the E3 demo

chrome ore
#

Oh nice!

steady glacier
#

this mod is supposed to be like a total 100% purist restoration of the E3 visuals

#

so if you don't like how the demo vid looked, you prob won't like the mod lol

#

comparison I made

#

it's with the old version of this mod though

#

from yesterday

true iron
#

I mean if you want to be purist about it

#

Exposure isn't high enough in that vid

steady glacier
#

yes exactly

#

he already knows

#

shadows in that vid were also not black enough

#

or defined enough

#

and the screen had blue tint

sharp bone
true iron
#

So only comment on screens that pop up? Gotta

steady glacier
sharp bone
#

Exposure does yeah still need some tweaks

true iron
steady glacier
sharp bone
#

But Blur is perfect. Fog seems ironed out. Maybe the haze is a bit much indoors and along with the exposure its coming off a bit too strong

true iron
steady glacier
#

exposure needs to be higher but also lower

sharp bone
#

Yeah I agree

steady glacier
#

it's a weird balance

#

outside it def needs to be higher

true iron
#

Hmm. I know it's not what youre doing atm

#

But could likely get a balance by adding Reshade for more adaption

sharp bone
#

I have reshade on this build but havent tried anything yet

true iron
#

It's common in the modding communities I'm from (Bethesda) to pair up lighting & weather changes with post processing (enb in that case, obvs Reshade here)

#

Generally just gives you more tools for the job

sharp bone
#

True

steady glacier
#

I mean worst case scenario yeah reshade will be used

#

but generally R18 is supposed to be an AIO restoration using in game tools

#

because it's a restoration of the E3 build

#

which used in game tools

#

albeit baked lighting

#

but still

true iron
#

Right but as far as I understand it the full game files for 2018 env was nowhere near finished and had quite substantial issues. Not telling you what to do, just suggesting a possible solution

steady glacier
#

they were unfinished

#

but that's why they aren't just copy pasting the E3 files

true iron
#

Oh 100%. Tbh I probably need to learn more about how the env stuff functions in game before saying Reshade adaption

lofty thistle
#

reshade is off the table

#

end of story

#

don't get me wrong, I love reshade, i make shaders for it

sharp bone
#

Yeah I believe as well no reshade for the final version of the mod. Can be a great optional for some to use to enhance to their liking of course. But should try and get just the env as close as possible

steady glacier
#

Yep

lofty thistle
#

exposure is getting close

steady glacier
#

ooo

sharp bone
#

Oooooo

steady glacier
#

damn R18 runs great for me

#

I'm running with psycho RTX at 1080p with quality DLSS

lofty thistle
#

RTX looks great

sharp bone
#

Yeah its running really good even on my seta drive which is where I keep the builds I test mods with. On my main games on ssd should run great

lofty thistle
sharp bone
#

ouch sorry lol

lofty thistle
#

my rt ini is crazy
