You did a good job, and maybe in the future people will find more of a need for a darker game, but as of now, other than aesthetics, its pretty difficult to really know what happens in a battle with all the TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DAMAGE, going on already .
User was warned for too many mimes.

In the grimdark future there is only brown.

Good for people that hate colours i guess. The sharpness is actually nice. The desaturation is not, as someone posted, real life is actually really colourful.

Yeah just what gaming needs more brown fake grimdark games

The effect doesn't even make it brown nor fake, it sharpens it up and desaturates it very slightly and on the more extreme settings darkens things a bit. There's no brown added, just less vibrancy in the colours. the colours are still the same. Please at least take a look at the pictures before judging

Makes the game feel more manly to me, but like others have said, more difficult to see things that are happening.

Color desaturation essentially mutes colors into brownish shades. Look at the grassland picture. The grass clearly becomes more brownish. The last picture in the series is basically just different shades of dirt.

With sharpeness turned ON half of ingame text becomes unreadable

it sharpens it up and desaturates it very slightly and on the more extreme settings darkens things a bit

As I said about sharpeness above, it's not that good for SC2. Here we are talking about color desaturation

I installed it and it worked fine, but when I tried starting sc2 the next day, it crashed on startup and did that error reporting thing. Any suggestions?

edit:
Okay, more info: I ran the repair.exe, it said everything's fine. Then I rebooted and started SC2 before anything else, and it worked. I tested it a couple of times now, if I reboot and start SC2 before anything else, it works, but if I open some progs and stuff first, then SC2 can't run anymore. I guess this is kinda vague, but do you know what's up, by any chance?

edit2: Never mind, I found the problem, it crashes when xfire is running. This didn't happen before so kinda strange, but whatever I'll just play sc2 without it on.

It uses modified Direct-X options. Any program, that can use Direct-X, can cause crash in sc2, maybe. It's only my ideas about why here can be crash.

Also don't forget to copy d3.dll file to latest patch builds.

I think SC2 is dark enough as it is, but that's just my opinion. Nice mod though; I'm sure some people will enjoy it.

There are not only darker, but also desaturation. You can revert brightness by changing it ingame options

Had same issue too. You can rebind ingame pause to other hotkey

Ahhh never mind, that was just retarded by me. Totally forgot the Pause button toggles the filter.

I'm getting an error. Apparently, if I put the .dll into the patch folder, StarCraft tells me that it has encountered an error and won't start.
