The gifs of the 200% increase alternate between washed out and eye murder. If the OP adds examples of the 100% increase I think some people might be less taken aback (I would).

As always, be very careful of using modified DirectX DLL files as this would look like a hack to Warden far more than a modified MPQ would.

Could you please, please pretty please remap it to anything except pause break like an F key or something? Pause has been pause for forever. Hey, you could release an alternate version with scroll lock as the toggle switch, it's not like we ever use that key.. unlike the pause button.

lol wow 200% looks like my starcraft is jaundiced. i'll try 100% instead

100% is ok. 200% was way way way too much. 100% is good for quickly telling zerglings and zealots apart.

I'm not author of this mod, Pyloneer have created it long time ago for Diablo 3, I've just edited it a bit and published as separate "mod" (because it's not really mod, it only saturates game).

You should ask Pyloneer about hotkey. For now best solution is to remapp ingame Pause to other hotkey.

so what's the diff between this and upping the vibrance in gfx menu?

That looks like Digital Vibrance set to 100% for nvidia card users...

If you have an nvidia card goto control panel in nvidia and adjust monitor color display and change your digital vibrance if you like bright and vivid colors.

Read 1st post, what the difference between setting it in videocard Control Panel/monitor settings and using this mod. You can toggle it ingame and use that saturation only for sc2, not for entire Windows OS or all time locked to one exe file (like StarCraft II.exe). Oonly for SC2 with ability to toggle it off.

If there are programs that allows you to change graphic mode for specific exe file, so I'm glad for you, you can publish it too, as small tip or information, that it can be an another way to saturate ingame colors with ability to toggle it on/off

As always, be very careful of using modified DirectX DLL files as this would look like a hack to Warden far more than a modified MPQ would.

Read this twitter please. It can be used untill it does not give you advatange.

I will add 100% comparsion screenshots later.

Those examples are oversaturated horror shows... 100% might be ok though.

I am amazed at how much better such a simple change makes the game look. It's a little cartoonier (which I guess is why Blizz went with such low saturation?), but it's so much clearer. I like it better than the original stronger color mod, in fact.

that dude has nothing to do with starcraft. i hope you aren't about to get a bunch of people banned. the warning was given though. i can just watch the outcome from afar and judge you from my golden pedestal. your color blindness is my advantage! you knaves!

Find TONEMAP and then find Saturation, then change from 1.00 to 0.50 or 0.75

If you set up saturation via videocard settings or monitor settings, you can have xact same result. Should blizzard ban everyone, who changed their graphic settings via control panel or monitor settings? Or you want that blizzard will start banning everyone, who have 80% gamma increase via ingame options, because it makes game lighter and more clear to see?

Are you serious? Regarding toy'ish StarCraft - I agree, as I said many times in this small thread. I don't like STC and don't like color saturation, current game colors are ideal for me and they're ok. This mod was created for those, who prefer STC and color blind over standart color settings.

It's better than nothing. It's just a cheap solution to bring back STC, or something closer to that

what you think blizzard should do is irrelevant. i'm not an expert but i think it is safe to assume that warden, if run at all in diablo3, runs in a much different capacity than in starcraft2. i understand your intentions are noble but honestly, i'd trust R1CH 7 days a week before yourself. besides that, this just seems unnecessarily risky when they have stated they intend to patch this. that tends to mean they don't want people duck taping methods together while they design something that works.

again i'm not trying to be rude, but this could be a huge amount of trouble if you are just assuming it will be safe based on a twitter post from a diablo developer.

It's your choice. If you don't want, you can just not download it and play with standart color scheme.

Being colour blind, this is extremely useful to me so thank you.

Anyone who is slating this should just y'know.. not use it, and if it's on a stream and it's that horrible... Don't watch it! People complain too much.

This is pretty nice, and less over the top than STC. Tempted to use it just for my own enjoyment of the richer colors, although I may find them distracting for playing at high levels. I am pretty committed to my original low graphics, for example :z

blizz have said that they will implement stronger team colours themselves as an option within the game, but for now this should help out those who struggle

gotta say tho that I hope blizz do a better job of it than the original mod because it hurt my eyes when streamers used it.


It should have been done this patch when they removed it.
