SJ this bulls haze seems over the top. How did you apply the haze effect this time?
Is it like last time, meaning that it's in the stadium file, or is it something else like enb/sweetfx? I will tell you what I thnk was wrong with last year's stadium feel mod and then I will tell you how I thnk it might be possible to fix it.
What was wrong last year:
1. The effect was disproportionate. It was overdone in the upper parts of the stands and over there it seemed like the crowd was magically in front of the haze, especially in the scenes in the beginning of the game, during jump ball etc, when we could see the upper stands. At the same time it was way too subtle in the very low parts of the stands, and sometimes during gameplay you could hardly notice there was a haze effect at the back. I know haze is supposed to gather at the top of a closed stadium but the proportions was somehow wrong.
2. FPS dropped for many people (myself included)
3. You needed to change all stadium files.
What is wrong with the preview
1. As some have stated earlier, it is overdone
2. It seems to affect not only the stadium / crowd but also other aspects on the court, like the parquet, other players etc, in my opinion a mistake. This is why I asked if it is done with enb/sweetfx, because if it is , it will affect aspects that should not be affected.
What could possibly be done to fix those issues:
1. Maybe move the effect from the stadium files to the crowd file instead. That way you eliminate the problem of the crowd in the upper stands magically appearing in front of the haze or the haze appear in front of things that it shouldn't like players, coaches, bench, etc. Then you also don't have to change every single stadium.
2. Fix the proportions of the effect, make it much more subtle at the top and less subtle at the bottom.
3. Is it a partcile effect you are using? If it is maybe choose some other effect that is similar but more gpu-friendly?
Anyway, I know you will fix it in the end and I can't wait to try out the results.
P.S. You still haven't answered me if i can use your global in my stielar's cut edition.
