#R18 (suspended)
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
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
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?
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.
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.
lmao fr?
yup
I hope you take a lot of inspo from POOP3R into this mod
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
and weather like NLA, an old project you probably don't know...
and not Skyrim NLA
that was unfortunate naming on my part lmao
yeah never heard of NLA
It's broken as fuck, doesn't work
looks cool though
i stopped working ob nit
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?
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
Agreed, no offense to him though.
for sure
That'd be cool, but honestly I'm more interested in making the full game like the 2018 build, minus all the issues with said 2018 build
so this mod sounds perfect for me
R18
R18
demo footage from nla ][ pre-alpha for cyberpunk 2077
here you go
been looking for it
NLA's sequel
a bit of alpha footage
I still have it lying around
wow that looks pretty damn good
there's a few seconds of stillness lmao
yeah lol
VLC sucks
windows media player on top
oh yeah
POOPE3R has some of the best colors i've seen in video games
fr
Yeah that shit looked so good it almost made me use it despite all the issues it has currently
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?
There are many issues in missions with interiors, konpeki plaza for instance
it gets unbelievably dark
yupp
same with the eye scanner, but you know that
also, not sure if it has any weather alterations, but I'd like some probability changes
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
Oh. I already realize my mistakes lol
used centerimportance rather than compensation
note to everybody making weather mods: exposureCenterImportance sucks
Don't worry
Well
i'll send it your way soon okay
This shit looks actually magical
yeah that looks amazing
preem
pretty sure I got these with POOP3R
now a redmod too
epic
yeah you did looks like it
to me sunny weather is clody but my install is shit
oh well...
any plans to tweak probability?
actually
💀
just
ignore this

thought it was gonna be as simple as 1, 2, 3
but as always with this game
NOTHING FUCKING WORKS
ofc ofc
lmao
but like you said, you got time, may as well update the best visual mod currently on nexus

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
Hmm, even though I dislike how the 2019 version looked, fine
I'll at least give it a shot
not bad
is that R18?
yes
indeed
something about that 2018 lighting just hits different
in the light it's even better
reminds me so much of this part
2018 version just looked so natural
I'll see if I can match the light direction
I think LEXAR can do that though, he once got it literally identical
that'd be great
awesome
so if you wanna test out yourself just use R18.zip and disable R19 in WolvenKit mod manager
Yeah I'm reinstalling my game since I fucked my save, just gunna start clean 
I'll use it then
oh god
you didn't delete archive/pc/content
right
or did you just nuke it in steam
Nah I legit just uninstalled everything to do with Vortex and Cyberpunk, wiped the folders
personally, I just delete everything but archive/pc/content
so i dont have to do 70gig download
That's fair but idrc about that
fair, fair
I'm more sad that my 30 hour playthrough is bricked
it's just i live in the middle of nowhere and my internet sucks
I test too much clearly
i feel like if i just flip the sun around it'll work
also it's like my first time using Wolven so I was having trouble trying to get that shit to work with my Vortex mods, for some reason it was being stupid
it's ok I'll just download it
holy fuck
dude
that looks exactly like the demo vid
wtf
like
exactly
magic
hehehehe
needs tweaking
this was after an hour
think of what lexar + me and more time can do

best mod on nexus
you guys should make a vid of the demo and your mod
like side by side
as a trailer
that's the plan friend
tylerPog
lmao
jesus
I like visuals, but not that much, in your case it makes sense though
for screenshots and shit
low effort shitpost
best shitpost ever
still looks super good
so that'll be what it looks like for people who aren't used to playing slideshows
mhmm
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
yeah hahha
they were so occupied on making the game work that they forgot to make it look GOOD
I mean the game does look good, the lighting is just fucked
like once you tweak the lighting, game looks fucking incredible
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
yes
for some reason lighting mods make my game run faster
same actually lmao
cdpr, bls fix your game
with lexar's mod I get like 20 more fps
also for the love of god can someone make tweakxl but for weather
I wanted to do it but im lazy


I don't know shit about modding Red engine, otherwise I'd help
or rather, making mods for Red engine
RED engine is a mess but it's a good mess and im sad they're abandoing it
yup
imagine epic having the right to revoke a game company's access to their engine lmao will totally not be abused
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
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
probably tbh lmao
that 15% hurts a lot apparently
but UE5's destruction and LOD tech is incredible
If Cyberpunk 2077 was built on UE5 bruh it'd have the destruction they originally wanted and no LOD issues
my id fanboy side is showing
but regardless I love idTech and hope that it will go open source in my pipe-dream future
Yeah I was about to say, kinda unfeasible for people to use idTechsince it's closed source
DOOM Eternal looked amazing, ran amazing, and had the same features as UE5 some years before
idk man Wolfenstein has started sucking recently
only the Old Blood and New Order were good
the level design and story in NC sucked but yeah it was kinda pretty
those art designers are damn good with that franchise
retrofuturistic dieselpunk cyberpunk aesthetic with real-world 1960s influences 
on god
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
yeah TNO has some serious engine issues but it still looks really good despite that
TOB is also very pretty
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
lmao
love how the cutscenes were still first person
immersive game design is better than anything else
yeah that part was cool, more FPS games need first person only cutscenes
like Cyberpunk, for instance
I kind of like how Cyberpunk has no cutscenes
that's one part that they improved in from E3
agreed
people complain about that, but it'd be super unimmersive and limit the players roleplaying ability
fr
love how this chat is basically now my own discussion realm where i can talk with people with similar interests
yeah lmao we prob shoulda taken it to dms but your shit is set to not accepting friend requests

well, then
lmao

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
he already sent a vid, even without RTX it looks just like the E3 demo
Wait, those vids are with rtx off?
the one that isn't running with 2 fps is off yeah
this one
^
who knows, maybe he has a 3090ti 😂
nah he has a 3070, he already sent a vid with RT on
and it was like 2 fps
hmm, than it's just mind bending that without rtx it looks like exactly the demo
Yeah
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
i guess but the baked lighting will make it difficult
true, that is the real issue
null, with baked light you need to rebake everything?
no
nah he means that the demo used baked lighting, it had no properly implemented dynamic lighting or weather system yet
because the game at that time was basically a tech demo
/proof of concept
ah, okay
so trying to replicate baked lighting with a dynamic system can be difficult
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 😂
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
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.
Not shitty at all. Its so close its scary. And its the closet ive seen to date
oh yeah the mod itself is great, I just mean the low effort editing I put into it
took an hour making it
TRUE
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
don’t ask why i’m still awake i can’t sleep today
I AM
lol

Yeah I'm not the mod creator, I'm just making fan shit because I like mod
but uh
he recorded the gameplay
so
umm
I am still using it cause 1.6 and its weird gpu usage bug it has is killing me staying over 60
if you take the .archive file from the zip only and put it in archive pc mod it would work
it’s on github
wowieziesisiwiowoiwo
the only thing this mod needs is harsher shadows and less of a blueish hue
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
Nah he didn't in that vid
ahh ok
the one with rtx was like 2 fps
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
3080ti 5900x
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
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
weird
I just run on everything max I never really get hitching, just frame drops in some areas
Nice I started playing with 2080ti and 9900k also at release. I used 1440p I think with just relections
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
ahh yeah I always used dlss
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
Yeah it's not bad at 4k, but at 1080p the sharpening is too much for me
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
I believe you can turn the sharpening down now though
I'll test it
Huh weird, never had that issue
Yeah at 4k I used it at 40. At 1440 I have it at like 80
Yeah I think you are more gpu bound then me and that helps. Probs with the stronger cards cpu becomes the weak part
true
game loves the CPU too
with all the NPC's
Oh for damn sure lol
Atleast its not as bad as Spider-Man. It makes the cpu even cook its meals lol
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
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
Yeah that's how shit the game is with optimization
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
so by turning up the res, you start using more of your GPU
which makes the game run better
That is crazy
lol
Based Montenegro
@lofty thistle GO TO BED
hehe
i am in bed
vaas? more like based
ok now i’m actually tied
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
where to download beta?
thanks!
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
@sharp bone
can you please help me install the mod?
there are multiple r18s
that's why I ask
you have version 1.6 and redmod?
yes, of course
oh ok maybe I got the wrong one lol ill check
oh no its just the zip one you download I think
what are those noises?
it's clipped from the E3 demo
huh im not sure myself about the install
Its from the cutscene when V is in the bed
don't clip, use my list
Cyberpunk 2077 Soundtrack Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5bPNj5nuLxWJydIExBGiY3vrlykTeM2
yes
THANK YOU
was a e3 only song from the scrapped cutscenes
dude that's like the best fucking song
the cyberpunk is real
devs on their way to cut everything good and feasible out of the E3 demo:
I could make it as a main menu song
Is there a link to the actual mp4 of it?
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
I'll give ya one
ok thanks. Ill work on it tomorrow
I don't even care that they cut the super ambitious stuff, I just wish they would have kept all the music, UI, and lighting
shit that didn't need to be changed
but was anyway
true, very true
I already have my end credit never fade away menu music mod so Ill just put this in over it
but it's ok, we have mods
ill download the whole thing and look
okay
here
is it 320kb?
ok downloaded it. Thank u
hmm I have both try the bigger size one
I put the smaller one had some issues maybe thats why
Oh you mean the archive or the song?
song
no, the mp3
Ahh ok there also two size different archives for r18
@sharp bone use this one instead of the one I sent, it's better quality
mine is 320kb/s and his is only 160kb/s. Less noise with mine
ok
oh nvm im dumb both Archive are the same size
actually Ill try and do the mod real quick. I dont need new wolvenkit for that
figured out, had to remove weather randomiser
ahh ok
Is the interior messed up for you also or just me?
I'm just going to test it on pure vanilla while I have the oppertunity
I havent seen other lut mimic the right lighting though. Color is similar but like I said its working with the lighting well
Yeah exactly, most of the other LUT's just make everything have no shadows and wash the entire game out, then they call it a day
POOP3R is/was the best looking E3 lighting mod until this one
which is made by null too
hmm, checked
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
well it seems like interiors are way brighter than they should be, like there little or no shadows
but eye adaptation is on point
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
this is POOP3R, prob the best E3 attempt until this mod, like I said
it's not on nexus 
yup very nice I tried it before. On my oled was just a bit too dark was all
Yeah its still there
It was dark for me too during days, had to turn gamma up by .10
I have it saved also
POOP3R has really bad issues though despite looking great at certain times
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
not too bad
But once this one is dialed in I am going to rock only this one. The outside look is to die for in r18
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
💀
guys, is this the intented look?
I think the prob is that demo wasnt real. They do have files in the game but they are from another engine
no
They aren't from another engine, the demo was real, it just had baked lighting
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
ahh ok im not sure. Its been a while since I looked at them in wolvenkit but they looked different
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
fr no?
nah it shouldn't be that lit up
could just be the whether though
if it's foggy
sometimes the game does that
ingame?
yeah
I mean yeah it was probably developed in an entirely different way than the base game, but the demo UI, lighting, etc. itself was still feasible in game, if it weren't, mods couldn't exist like this one that 1 to 1 replicate exactly how the demo looked
display
than that's not ingame
display settings
in the in game settings
and if it's not there, then it's under graphics
forgot which one it's under
there's no gamma in cp
bro yes there is lmao
oh, wtf
Very true and probably is the case. Probably changed their dev approach and prob part of the reason why they seemed to get in over their head.
yeah thats default I think
Yeah, just wish they coulda kept the UI and lighting the same, the assets in the game almost seem designed around that old 2018 lighting, like these curb things for instance, the light almost shines through their faded transparent glass, and makes them look truly real, like they are a part of the scene. Base game just doesn't have shit like this.
actually
that looks about right
take a screenshot in the sun
and as for UI, it seemed more fitting for the vibe, it was cleaner and more organic, felt like more of a part of the world
yeah
to be exact:
it felt like an implant
not a 2d ui, but rather a 3D, live part of v
yeah
there's a reason Edgerunners uses that 2018 style UI
cause it's supposed to be part of your brain interface
yeah
exactly
i just hope spicy fixes the ui
he already works on the inventory from 2018
sheesh
that guy is on something
yeah 2018 hud mod is great but it needs all the bells and whistles into one pack
needs a lot still done
he is enslaved for eternity to make E3 ui mods
man I hate how wolvenkit sometimes closes on my the first time I go to pack a file
Music mod is almost done
yeah, the main thing i hope he makes are the chat options
those were clean
facts
yeah, i fix myself: eye adaptation is also off, still too slow.
i think it looks cool and all
fits the new graphics
but it's plasticy
take a pic of you standing in the sun instead of the shadows
doesn't give the dark and serius vibes
agreed
ah yes the new GREEN lighting
fck green
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
💀
sent it
maybe this much
yeah that seems a little closer
like I said though, I think it has a little too much of a blueish hue
ye
yes
shadows are blackish
this too, it adds a lot of depth to surfaces in darkness
top one is demo
could be
there's a fog of some sort in the base game
other than the shadows and the blueish filter though, the video that null sent is on point
and volumetrics, I guess
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
Ok its working. Had a weird issues where inputs got blocked for some reason but fixed it. Ill give you all a gdrive link
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12KEX1nKaTT9OAYERHdJ03bPbHdR23bhe/view?usp=sharing @steady glacier @inner tendon Here ya go
cool
noice
updated my little showcase a bit
I'll prob record some of my own gameplay for it
cause why not
nice
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
Well shit sure I'll put it on nexus and shout you out, what's your account?
also sorry about the haters
Yeah I will since you provided the MP3
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
fair
what's your nexus
name or link?
link
k cool
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.
made new header image
lmao
❤️🔥
hmmm
But outside, my goodness!!❤️ 
jesus christo the top one looks just like the demo
crazy
Yup its scary close

yup just very little tweaks
Yo Spicy. Say E3 and he contractually has to show up lol
true

hehe
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13HgJvmajXPpwlWsm1k1PiRyx1MHNsSCj/view?usp=sharing @steady glacier @inner tendon I thought you all might enjoy this as well. I made this a while ago. It replaces all versions of the modern song of Chippin In with the 2018 version from the demo.
oh awesome ok
but what was your source?
as much as I like this version, it's Kerry Eurodyne's version, so for me in the lore context it doesn't really make sense
cause like
Johnny is the main singer of Samurai
I got the song straight from the digital album. Bought it a while back.
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
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
I'm only a purist when it comes to shit that stays within lore parameters, but yeah that's fair, I won't deny that I like Kerry's version better, but for different reasons
yup
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
if he doesn't fix rn I'm going cyber psycho
you nerds not slept yet?
I can't sleep, too busy giving feedback on R18

lol ill sleep soon
it's 2pm here
Best Cyberpunk 2077 music ever after V'S theme of course)
yeah, it's called Night City theme though
It's very perplexing as to why it was cut
I really don't get it
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
need to make adaptation slower
And change skydome
should make it have less blue tint and darker shadows
I have that, I can pull it out later when I’m home to take a video/take screenshots
slower???
yea
it's already slow imo
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
Thats awesome!
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?
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
Ahh ok
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
Yes
and the sun needs to be even brigther whitish/yellow
nice
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?
I havent messed with textures in Cyberpunk but Ill see if I can.
little detail but significant
Agree
first thing on the chopping block is the chromatic aberration
I think those are demo
maybe
I was wondering did u disable motion blur?
ahh ok weird on mine it looks like no blur which I use on high also
I'll turn it up
Yeah I think they are kinda broken, if you tell me what I need to retexture shit, I can take a look
I have the value lower than vanilla
ahh ok
I used to texture guns and shit for NV so it's no biggie
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
as i said, that's all exposure control now
Ah ok, sorry my brain is mush
you got the shadows down right though
they are almost exactly like demo
same with the coloration
got rid of that blue filter
null best dev
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
I had some road textures already and I think they might actually be WT3d's actually. I already packed them if you like them
Mostly because the general opinion is that the 2018 demo looked way better and fit the game more appropriately than vanilla lighting
and since it's feasible to replicate, people strive to do it
looks great in rain
Omfg that is just beautiful
And the trademark green LUT was....an interesting Dev decision, not that isn't easily fixable
I've found that it doesn't fit the assets that well, it almost seems like the lighting was a very quick afterthought, especially since the game has tons of shadowmap issues and that ugly green filter
Nice

"like these curb things for instance, the light almost shines through their faded translucent glass, and makes them look truly real, like they are a part of the scene. Base game just doesn't have shit like this."
it's almost like the 2018 lighting is what they designed the assets around
so that is why people try and recreate it

It cover rougher roads out in badlands and such?
I'll give em a spin too
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
Not found really many material replacers other than that 4k surfaces mod on Nexus that I can't seem to find solid info about
Forgot I do have a save on 1.6
So I'll probably give it a try
Warning those textures are extremely!!! Vram heavy
I was using 11.5 gigs of my Vram with those textures
I made Skyrim use like 20gb. I think I'll manage 
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?
Have to max my 3090 or I'll be sad about 4000 series
lol true. Yeah Im going 4090 this time around
I'm likely to lose all my free time to Rtx remix so
Yeah that looks so neat
I need to get my hands on it to see how viable it is for Skyrim tbh
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
Nah. RTX remix is purely a commercial move.
true
Force AAA studios into RT adoption
Yeah and even for older games also so they are kind of forcing them for no excuses
How can you release a fancy new shiny game that looks worse than 20 modded games from 2008
Yup
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
nah it's fine we sorta talk about whatever in here anyway
yup
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)
Hmm, never heard of it, kinda weird it's one of the only ones
I guess probably because the game already looks pretty good
texture wise
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
Possibly a streaming issue with replacements?
like graffiti
The only other big thing I've seen is that Blade runner mod that replaces all the ads n such
yeah
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
I have an idea I just need to learn how to do it lmao
Jackie's free bike needs nerfing into the ground
You should get your role
I am monitoring this bread with great interest 👀
You want some bread?

bread
The interior Lighting now is doing alot better. Just small things
its ready? 😄
ill install it then. first need to finish troubleshooting my mods >:3
it at least looks like the demo rn aside from exposure and a few other minor details
If you have any suggestions while playing, make sure to say them
Shots I took the other day
yeah now it's less blue and has better shadows
also roads
thanks to you
What do yoou recommend pairing this with?
nothing
it's standalone
just use R18 and the roads if you want

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
Why is that?
Because it has it's own weather settings
tuned to make it look like the E3 demo
Oh nice!
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
yes exactly
he already knows
shadows in that vid were also not black enough
or defined enough
and the screen had blue tint
So only comment on screens that pop up? Gotta
Not trying to be rude, I was just attempting to explain that most of the stuff has already been fixed or is known as an issue, mod just started development
Exposure does yeah still need some tweaks
I didn't see it as rude. It's a WIP mod so obviously stuff changes
Oh ok sorry, I misunderstood your tone lmao
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
Tbh I think exposure is likely going to be the hardest part to get right. I think it was probably toned down from E3 due to stuff like this (1st person driving)
exposure needs to be higher but also lower
Yeah I agree
Hmm. I know it's not what youre doing atm
But could likely get a balance by adding Reshade for more adaption
I have reshade on this build but havent tried anything yet
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
True
Yeah but this isn't really about that
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
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
Yeah I get what you mean
they were unfinished
but that's why they aren't just copy pasting the E3 files
Oh 100%. Tbh I probably need to learn more about how the env stuff functions in game before saying Reshade adaption
reshade is off the table
end of story
don't get me wrong, I love reshade, i make shaders for it
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
Yep
exposure is getting close
ooo
Oooooo
damn R18 runs great for me
I'm running with psycho RTX at 1080p with quality DLSS
RTX looks great
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
ouch sorry lol
my rt ini is crazy
