Crysis Mods

Jesus Christ, it's a 8+ minute tutorial on how to install a mod. No thanks.

Is there any other decent Crysis mods out there that are as good looking as this one?

From my experience, I highly rate the CCC pack - its a set of options on how 'high' you want to tweak the graphics settings, and I'm running Warhead under level 5 (maxed) and with my new overclocked i3 and GTX460 its stunning and smooth as silk!

You can also choose options from 1 through to 5 depending on how beefy (or not) your PC is. I used to run option 4 on my 8800GT card, and it made a big improvement to the graphics, for a very minor performance hit.

Some great mod/map links in this thread - keep up the good posts :)

Deific:

When downloading the standalone crysis EQM, in the description it lists the 3 graphics tweaks as Colour correction, contrast correction, and cvars config. Yet, there is only a download available for colour correction. does this still contain all graphics tweaks?

I'm fairly sure that all the colour/contrast/config downloads are merely for his Agility Map and previous versions of the Amazonia Map. I don't think you need to worry about downloading it at all, I'm not even sure if it's still included in his most recent version of the EQM complete download.

Cheers mate :)

I'm just confused which mod to download, as all I really want is the graphics tweak, no need for slow motion, hitbox etc...
 
Well it will be down to the ToD config the guy made. Are you wanting to get that lighting/look in the normal campaign?

I can give you a couple links to maps with missions/storys/objectives that also look really nice. I think one or two have better ToD than his.
 
Well what I'm going to be doing over the weekend is trying out a good number of different mods/tweaks/configs for crysis. It's for my own benefit, so that I can enjoy single player in as much visual glory as possible, and also for the benefit of the forum, as I'll be posting my thoughts on each mod here.

So I was just wondering about the EQM as it seems to be the one everyone's been raving about. But, having used it before, the slow motion and hitbox made singleplayer unplayable (as you yourself also pointed out) So I just wanted something to look as good as that mod, while retaining the ability to enjoy single player :)

Ah, well I really do recommend trying out some of the better user made campaign maps. Some of them really are top notch objective wise and look stunning.
 
Right, well I promised screenshots, so here they are, although they don't look quite as good as deific screenshots, videos and some other peoples, some settings are on high, think physics, particles and volumetric maybe, plus no AA is on either:

Ultra high res nano suit mod:

I didn't take great shots for that map, and I didn't get any screenshots of the dense jungle with the river part either :(, was just to busy having fun :D, so will try and get better ones posted later.

And now for my favourite map with mods, quite longish, but runs really smooth and looks amazing:

Haven't really got any good ones of the SP either, as I haven't reached any scenes with sun sets etc. yet so will try and post some more later on.

I would post some of these in the High res screenshot thread but you know what responses we would get for posting more crysis screenshots :p
 
Hiya mate. Atm pictures are blocked from my end so I can't see them :(

Just a q: how did you take the pictures? Did you use fraps or something, or did you use the comman in crysis that takes in game screens?

Also - Just remembered that I was able to deactivate slow motion in the eqm mod, just by removing one of the nodes. Now, if only I could do the same thing with the hit box...
 
Hi there :), ah right ok, no worries.

Yup, using fraps, can also use FRAPS to take videos as well, but when fraps is running it tends to reduce FPS and makes the game seem less smooth, so only keep it running when you want to take screenshots/videos or just to check what FPS you are roughly getting.

Yeah, haven't got around to installing that EQM mod for SP yet. Just trying out different maps lately, which some have there own mods installed as well as it's more fun playing something new rather than the SP for the 10-15th time now :p

I would recommend using the crysis command to take screenshots, can't remember it off the top of my head, but it produces better quality screens than fraps.

EDIT: I think it's something like

e_screenshot

Hmmm, o right ok, didn't know that, thanks :)

Yeah, I thought that as well, when I was looking through the screenshots trying to decide which ones to post. It does look much better in game.

Plus I used tinypic to upload these shots, and set the resize to 1024x768. Although game was played in 1920x1080.

Just had a quick google for the command thing and came across this:

And this, this guy has posted some amazing shots, looks so crisp/sharp looking :eek:

I'm currently running the game with a few mods, and twice now (out of maybe six sessions) have experience weird graphic glitches where some vegetation has become shiny flashing silver. It's only happened after several hours play when loading a new area. Each time, when I've closed the game and restarted, the glitch has gone away.

Here are the mods I'm running, any idea which is causing it?
* HD Grass
* High Resolution Foliage
* Natural Mod
* Alternate Palm Tree
* Extreme Quality Configs

My guess it's probably something to do with natural mod clashing with some of the extreme quality config settings.

I have now reached the 10th level out of 11. The fun freedom of the early game has given way to a more on-rails but high octane action experience now, and I'm still really enjoying this game.
I even enjoyed the alien ship level - the 3d movement brought back fond memories of the early shooter, Descent, which I loved.

Sorry mate, both those sites are also blocked by filtering software :(

O right ok :(, well anyway, there both just stating what to do in order to take screenshots using the in game command and how to bind a key to take a screenshot etc. and one the guy has pretty much edited some stuff using the sandbox thing or whatever it is :p and lets just say, it looks awesome :D

Very nice :D, think my SP looks a bit like yours in those shots as well.

Will have to get some proper screenshots taken doing it the proper way and upload them at the default res.
