An update to the Natural Mod. This version adds and installer and makes a few tweaks. See full details for the change log.
Presentation
The objective of this mod is to transform the ambient atmospheric lighting to make Crysis much more realistic.
What does the Natural Mod add to Crysis?
-realistic atmospheric lighting
-realistic dusk and dawn
-realistic fog
-realistic sun
-darker night
-concordance with the ingame hour
This mod has no impact on performance, but should be used with high or very high graphic settings to fully enjoy it. Moreover, low graphic settings may cause several glitches.
If you plan to use the Natural mod in your own mod or distribute a modified version of these files, please mention the Natural mod and the original creator of the TOD file.
Installation
1. Launch the installer and follow the instructions
2. Launch the game
Remark n°1: the installer saves the original files modified by the Natural Mod in the "Levels_backup" folder
Remark n°2: the installer copies a file "System.cfg" at the root of your Crysis directory
Remark n°3: if you already have a "System.cfg", it will be renamed as "System_backup.cfg"
This "System.cfg" removes HDR glitches and enables all necessary effects for a very high quality with a smooth framerate. However, it disables depth of field and hitblur, because those effects radically reduce performance, especially in fights. If you really want to re-enable them, open the file with the Notepad and modify the desired line by replacing "OptionX=0" by "OptionX=1" in section "SET TO 1 TO REACTIVATE".
