This looks perfect, will the variable.txt settings work regardless of what I have my in game settings set to, or should I set everything to a certain setting first?

I've updated them some time ago, so it's no matter, what settings you have. Just add new settings to the end of variables.txt

maybe it is still green but its a yellowish green to me. Can we change the box/highlights Existor?

Probably you have "Redecoloring SC2" mod?

For me, spotting cloaked units with this mod seems to be a bit harder than with higher graphics settings. Do you know which of these settings affect the visibility of cloaked units?

It's same, as high settings. And I disagree with you. Low settings uses simplified cloaking model, when high settings uses the standart one.

Hybrid settings uses high-settings cloaking model. And especially it's more noticeable because everything is more static and less animation or effects intensive. With static creep you're able to see stealth units quicker, than on creep with animation.

But at same time, as I said, low settings uses simplified cloaking model, so combining both (static creep and less animation intensive everything, and high-settings cloaking model) gives better result

My normal settings is everything at lowest possible, tried these and i get around steady 80-90 fps however i have a VERY long load time.. and sometimes the game freezes during play for 3-4 secs.

Any idea what can fix it?

Existor:

seems pretty good, but I like my own settings (low textures, low gfx, with high model/medium details)

I just wanna ask, cause I didn´t try find it myself (but I wanted to), but u seems a bit experienced in this already

I would like to change a building quality from low to medium (but in ingame settings it has to be done by change shadders from low to medium and it change so much others stuffs - in fact I think shadders change overall looking more than anything else, especially from low to medium...). I ll try to explain it... if u set everything on low, look, than change just shadders on medium and have a look, see that huge different? That is exactly what I dont want to, I just want to increase a bit the building quality (on low for example there aren´t visible decals on terran buildings and stuff like that)

Is that possible?

thx

Hybridic settings solves this moment especially. The HUGE difference between low-shaders and medium ones. If you change that ingame options, I mean turn shaders to medium, you will turn at same timea lot unneeded parameters in variables.txt.

And if you want decals on buildings, just turn off simplifiedshaders and/or probably (not tested) uselowqualitymodels and lowqualitymodels (both parameters exist in variables)

This looks very nice, i was wondering why it was only low or high... ( medium is just too similar to high ), now we may have true medium settings !
Thanks for this

Turning off simplifiedshaders (with other stuffs "from low shadders ingame") seems to be exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I´ll try compare my own settings with that yours and post a (subjective) report later, anyway thank you.

EDIT: Wow!! Your settings actually looks pretty good (need a bit more "testing" before I´ll use it, and maybe disabling shadows, cause I am not used to them). But YOUR settings is EXACTLY! what I expect from MEDIUM settings (not that blizzard one, in their is actually so huge difference low/medium, and minimal difference medium/high. Thumbs up!

For those who want try settings (not that common one, and a bit "worse quality" than in this topic, try this on:

Set ingame:
Low or Medium textures (up to you, I preffered low)
Low gfx quality, than change Effects to medium, Models to high
(it ll look like low setting but with better animated deaths (fire, acid, zealot cuts,...) and few more things)
than go out of the game and edit variables file

change simplifiedShaders=1 to simplifiedShaders=0
(for better quality buildings)
and change simplifiedCloaking=1 to simplifiedCloaking=0
(for better cloak)

I´ll call this my setting as "improved low settings", and topic author´s one "medium", cause in fact blizzard medium sucks for me, and it´s more like high...

Anyways thumbs up for Existor, cause his setting is rlly awesome.

Out of curiosity would this same thing still work on a Mac OSX ? Not sure of specs on it, but curious if it would these would work on it without lagging it too much in game.
Whatever bro, tell it to the whales

Vertical Synchronization - makes ingame FPS similar to FPS of your monitor. But this requires a bit more PC resources and can cause lags in some cases

Not tested at MacOSX (because I don't have it). So you can test a bit and revert back at any time
