[tutorial] How to set graphic detail

[fifaCCitiu.com]

This is settings.lua file in Data0.big. That control level of detail in game.

local InitializeSettings = function()
	local as = gSportsRNA
	local settingTable = as:GetTable("Settings")

	-- Force LevelOfDetail - 'high', 'medium', 'low', 'superlow'
	local levelOfDetail = as:GetString(settingTable, "LevelOfDetail") 
	if (levelOfDetail == "") then
		levelOfDetail = "high"
		as:SetString(settingTable, "LevelOfDetail", levelOfDetail)
	end

--	levelOfDetail = "medium"

	-- Set up defaults (high detail)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "DropMipRX3_MipsToDrop", 0)			-- number of mips to drop from RX3 textures
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "DropMipRX3_MinTexDimension", 8192)	-- minimum size (here we will ignore the number of mips to drop)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_ScaleReduction", 0)		-- flat shadow dimensions 			(0 is normal, 1 is half, 2 is quarter, 3 is an eigth)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_MaxLights", 4)			-- max number of lights to allow
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "Jumbotron_ScaleReduction", 0)		-- jumbotron render scale reduction 
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow", 1)		
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow_ScaleReduction", 0)		-- selfshadow render scale reduction (0 normal, 1 half, 2 quartered)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_RainDrops", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_AutoExp", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Bloom", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_DOF", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Rectilinear", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Vignette", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCube", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCubeDepth", 1)

	as:SetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 1)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "Cloth", 1)
	as:SetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 1.0)
	as:SetInt(settingTable, "PlayerLodMinimum", 0)

	-- Override..
   	if (levelOfDetail == "medium") then

		as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_ScaleReduction", 1)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_MaxLights", 4)	   
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "Jumbotron_ScaleReduction", 1) 
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow_ScaleReduction", 1)
		as:SetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 0.5)

	elseif (levelOfDetail == "low" or levelOfDetail == "superlow") then
		-- Downsize Render to texture sizes and detail
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "DropMipRX3_MinTexDimension", 512)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "DropMipRX3_MipsToDrop", 3)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_ScaleReduction", 1)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_MaxLights", 1) 
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "Jumbotron_ScaleReduction", 1) 
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow", 0)	

		-- Disable grass and cloth
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "Cloth", 0)

		-- disable pretty much all PostFX
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_RainDrops", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_AutoExp", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Bloom", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_DOF", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Rectilinear", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_Vignette", 0)	
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCube", 0)
		as:SetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_ColorCubeDepth", 0)
	
		as:SetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 0.15)
	end
	
	if (levelOfDetail == "superlow") then
		-- any extra tweaks here..
	end
end
InitializeSettings()
InitializeSettings = nil

Now we are going to make a bit lighter for your video card the medium setting.

search for this strings:

-- Override..
if (levelOfDetail == "medium") then

asetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_ScaleReduction", 1)
asetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_MaxLights", 4)
asetInt(settingTable, "Jumbotron_ScaleReduction", 1)
asetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 0)
asetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow_ScaleReduction", 1)
asetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 0.5)

and change as:

-- Override..
if (levelOfDetail == "medium") then

asetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_ScaleReduction", 2)
asetInt(settingTable, "FlatShadow_MaxLights", 4)
asetInt(settingTable, "Jumbotron_ScaleReduction", 1)
asetInt(settingTable, "Grass", 0)
asetInt(settingTable, "Cloth", 0)
asetInt(settingTable, "SelfShadow_ScaleReduction", 2)
asetInt(settingTable, "PostFX_DOF", 0)
asetFloat(settingTable, "PlayerLodPercentageMultiplier", 0.25)

With this changes you can get more frames in game without losing details.
You can use the last version of fifafs to import settings.lua in data0.big. As I don't have time to make setups and other I hope that a skilled modder can make an autoinstaller of this setting.
Of course I can make other setting in order to have the max graphic detail, or the lowest graphic detail.

Thank you very much for the useful information

You can use the last version of fifafs to import settings.lua in data0.big.

Cool but how? no one seems to have 5seconds of free time, to type the command line for importing.

 

[ac12]

i want the max graphic detail.

 

[fifaCCitiu.com]

soon i'll add some other news about very high details and low details graphic...maybe i'll be able to disable 3d crowd for low spec machines.

 

[??. s???s???™]

can u make a installer for it please ?

 

[goke313]

can you please upload yours so we can just cut and paste it

 

[tanagoo]

i want the max graphic detail.

me too

 

[matthewhong]

I want low details with no 3d crowds please. Thanks in advance.

[Super-S]

Amazing!!!

 

[amifla]

The same. Me too.

 

[goke313]

any directions???

 

[nentautako]

..maybe i'll be able to disable 3d crowd

waiting for it. i don't like crowd. i like cheerleaders...

 

[H0US3]

can i set the graphic detail to something like fifa 10, on medium? jajajajajjaa

 

[Duong]

waiting for it. i don't like crowd. i like cheerleaders...

So you're lesbian?

 

[nentautako]

So you're lesbian?

no. i like boy's cheerleaders. do you notice the AXE men's perfume ads? i like them

 

[jeetmusic]

i'm waiting for them too...

 

[myfifa2005]

Yes, I also modify this setting.lua file to remove the player's shadow, and adjust the texture detail in the game, then it seems better than before because my video card is very bad, but I don't import setting.lua in to data0.big, just put it outside folder and modify the data0.bh file by manaul in order to let FIFA use the setting.lua outside one.

 

[TitoVivaz]

I think the PS3-version still have better graphic than the PC-version. Can you get higher details too with this?

 

[amifla]

I don't think so, mate. I have a Very Good PC and a PS3, and comparing, PC is far, far better in Graphics. You have Full HD on PC ( Resolutions more that 1080p ) AA filters and others things. Believe me, compare for yourself, that I say. And you really see the differences
