Well first things first, I have started to put some serious time into the next version of the Crysis 2 Advanced Graphics Options program. This time I'm actually doing a bit of real designing with it, not just throwing up on some C# forms and calling it good. This will allow me to add some pretty crazy customization elements into it. So far the only people who are able to do custom cvar tweaks to Crysis 2 are those who really understand what each one does and take the time to create their own files. My goal is to make it easier for everybody to create their own with this tool.
Right now as it is designed there are two sections, a basic and an advanced. Right now I'm really only working on the basic view. Here you will find the graphics options that are in the current version of the program as well as a few others that address new features added to Crysis 2 in patches. The second view will be an advanced view with multiple tabs allowing you to tweak every little setting to your hearts content. That is a major work in progress and I may need some help with that as it's kind of big.
Features that I will be releasing in the 2.0 launch will be...
- Functionality with DX9/DX11
- Ultra setting
- A checkbox for high res textures
- The ability to save and load multiple configurations
Other things that are going on in my life is that I have teamed up with GUFUYourself to work on their blog, youtube channel, and pretty much everything else. While this will remain my personal blog about things (of which I hopefully will start using more of), I will be writing articles for them as well as posting videos on their Youtube channel. I'll be posting more details of GUFUyourself on a later date.
As for me personally, other than work, paying bills, and living life, I've been trying to work on my ~75 game backlog. I'm playing Bayonetta, Vanquish, Forza 3, Trine, Total War: Shogun 2, Toy Soliders: Cold War, in addition to my normal Battlefield 2 Bad Company, ArmA 2, and WWII Online. I think I may play to many video games.
That's all for now. Hopefully I start updating this thing more often.
When i read the "I'm going open-source" part i screamed: Wohoooo!!! (i even don't have idea of coding xD) Keep doing that good job!!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for that awesome app
I can't wait for this, keep up the good work.

ReplyDeletehey wasdie can you tell me hove to change fov with 1.9 direct 11 patch
ReplyDeletestill waiting... how long?
ReplyDelete@KaeM at this point never. I lost all of the files due to a system crash which included my backups.
ReplyDeleteThere really is no need for this program anymore as very few people play Crysis 2 much outside of modders, and those guys don't need an app to handle this.
I just don't have time to actually do any of this anymore. If I do any programming I'll just do it for my job.
Wasdie,
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to be reading this...umm, I still play Crysis 2 and I am not a modder? Furthermore, 2 was released in March of this year, and already you think it's dead?! I...must be living on Mars or something.....
