Crysis Graphics Best MOD?

nJoyo · 7 May 2011 at 23:18

Hi, everyone. Many of us play crysis and have downloaded many mods for the game. I want to know what is the best graphics mod for my graphics card which is a MSI GTX 460 O'C edition. I want to know what you guys think on which mod I should get....I want Realphoto like graphics.

Thanks

Most people will agree that the Real Lifesis mod is the best looking.

Might want to checkout this thread thread too.

We have a thread about Crysis mods every other day :/

Don't mind me tho, I'm just being grumpy.

Is there any Mods where there are animals such as turtles?

Bizarre · 8 May 2011 at 00:22

Animals? Are you have a giraffe?

Actually the standard (unmodded) Crysis has plenty of turtles, if that's what floats your boat.

Here ya go...

See, with textures like that on a bloody turtle, it gives us license to complain when we see a low res texture in Crysis 2. They made the turtle look good in Crysis, yet a shopping trolley wheel in Crysis 2 looks like a 50p!

On topic, I've found Real Lifesis to be my favourite, once I removed the ridiculous FOV blur.

Do mods work with the Steam version?

LoL thats wild. I never really had a good look at the turtle up close. I chucked it in the water once. Though I never had a chance to look at the crabs either as that friggin helicopter was drilling me. I thought the physics of everything was amazing, chickens as well.

Does anyone know when Crymod will be back?
I thought i might play Crysis again, but can't downlaod any mods.

Also, do any of the mods work for Warhead?

Cheers

I think the turtle is modded? Cause i've seen on crymod. Can anyone suggest me where I can download Real Lifesis and a tutorial on installation?

Haha. Look at the first reply. The guy gave you a link to download reallifesis!

Centurion, you seem to know quite a bit about crysis tweaks, does reallifesis work with one of the custom configs you can get, because they both replace the autoexec file?
I imagine they don't work together but i am trying to use them with Warhead

cheers

RealLifesis isn't an Autoexec. It is a .tod file which replaces all the lighting in the game, that is installed via the sandbox 2 editor.

The autoexec that comes with the RealLifesis pack is just a config which looks better than standard very high, and also contains a few brightness tweaks to make sure that RealLifesis looks its very best. I'd recommend using that instead of any other configs.

If you want to use a different autoexec config with RealLifesis, then what I'd do is to copy these commands from the autoexec that comes with RealLifesis, and replace them in the autoexec of the new config you want to use:

r_SSAO=1
r_ssao_amount=0.4
r_SSAO_darkening=1.255
r_SSAO_quality=2
r_SSAO_radius=2
r_SSAO_blur 4
r_SSAO_blurriness 1
r_HDRBrightOffset=128
r_HDRlevel=0.7525

Ok thanks,
I downloaded an autoexec which really improved it, but i was going to try Reallifesis as well. Is it ok to just copy the TOD folder to the levels folder as it says, otr is it better to use the sandbox editor?

I don't think that copying the TOD to the levels folder actually installs it. I've never tried it though, however I think you'd have to do it through sandbox editor, which could end up being a bit of a hassle, but it's well worth it.

Pighardia · 8 May 2011 at 15:06

Not sure i am going to mess around in the sandbox editor too much.

ATM i have for Warhead, the Extreme quality config, and i have tried copying the TOD files from Reallifesis, also i have Rigels Warhead textures mod as well. I can't complain, as it does look amazing.

For Crysis, i am downloading Rigels atm, and i will probably use Natural Mod, as it is less of a hassle tbh. I also have the extreme quality config for that too.
Also, i can't find the High Def foliage mod anywhere.

It's amazing how much a 5850 can take tbh. ususally i have them crossfired but one is being repaired atm so i only have 1.
