[Filter] Surreal Effect

[Archon23]

use printscreen.

print screen, paste into PS or paint

Well Im not an idiot I tried that ><

It just takes the shot as though the filter wasn't there.

Can you tell us in what exe/dll it exceptions? It should be in the report under technical stuff at the top.

I've been getting the exact same error with Halo.
I don't know if you meant this, but here goes.

I don't have a problem with Vista 64. Everything has worked perfectly fine. All my drivers, and all my programs are flawless. This is the first problem I've had, and it may not even be a 64-Bit OS related problem.

Funny I get the same error on my XP 32-bit machine...but it loads afterwards. I just know that 64-bit has some protection against dll manipulation. Can't help any further sorry.

[kenney001]

I want to play with the settings. Got any resources to understand this.......mumbo-jumbo in the xml file?

[Syuusuke]

YOU CAN NOT USE YELO BATTERY PLUGIN WITH DXTWEAKER

That means YOU Sunny, since I know you use it and others =/

You don't have to remove the d3d9.dll, just rename it, make it another filetype/add an extension I guess.

[RedBaron]

Sweet, I remember wondering as to why the active camo looked like crap on my system about a year ago...

[rhe7oric]

Anyway to tone this down a little bit so that it still has the feel but is not blinding on bright maps such as Ice Fields? I cannot even see down the ice cave near red base since its just too bright.

Either that, or show me how to edit the XML file myself and get it right.

[SnaFuBAR]

someone mind gettin some shots of ambush with this? :awesome: +rep for good shots

Here's the code that you can paste into the XML file for that effect; It makes the game only slightly more bright:

<Effect Display="Surreal">
    <Pass Destination="Display">
    <Source Sampler="0" Name="Backbuffer"/>
    <FConst Start="0">
      <Vector X="0.5" Y="0.5" Z="0.5"/>
    </FConst>
