i either must have taken the settings from GTA SA or edited your settings abit, but trust me i downloaded yours.

Hi all,

Here's my version of the Bloom Mod, I took the original settings and tweaked them to be subtle, then fixed all of the sky textures to prevent overexposure.

I used the high-resolution Sky pack from the Misc. Addon section from here, check the readme for usage notes and credits.

This works for me, so if it doesn't work for you then i'm not sure. I'm just releasing what I use.

I hope you enjoy using it! Give me feedback on what to fix.

Where to put it

Your Link does'nt work . . .

Thats because that website doesn't exist, i'll reupload the file to my new server - will edit this post with the link.

There's your link! Backup your old sky textures before you use those ones.

some ppl might are looking for the settings i´m using so uploading it for public then..

a little bit dark and might be hard to use online with good FPS
but i adjusted this settings for screen/vid usage..

ON/OFF is button: Shift+F12
Screens are on: Printscreen button..

Well that looks better
Can you take a shoot from a angle where the sky is vissible as well? For me those parts where the most anoying ones, that caused headac aswell.

Let me promote Velociround's settings here
I have almost the same settings as him, only thing is... DoF doesnt work on my ATI card

Video including the Bloommod

Some Screenshots with added Contrast, but still showing the Bloom.



















It's a very, very nice addition to Live For Speed It makes it look wayyyy nicer

** The only thing which is bad about it: It isn't possible for xFire ingame to show up **

Give it some time and you can, same happend to me but after 5-10 sec it addapts itself (high to low) and you can read. My concern is that it gets just too darn dark, or too light.. not a middle thing.

One menu was particularly hard to read (multiplayer menu), so I darkened that background a bit and it made it easier to use.

psst: it goes in the .../lfs/data/pic/ folder

the first one is the darker one.
the second one is the ORIGINAL LFS menu in case it is not to your liking.

Here you go
I'm not certain what it will look like on your systems though, since i'm using an ATI 4870

I didn't know the barriers could look so real! The car also stands out a lot too.

tnx man.. using a ATI radeon 4850 so it should look the same..

i have an x1950 and game on a 19" CRT trinitron and everything was really washed out.

adjusting what was in blue seemed to even it out some on my setup.

WTF is up with your dashboard in the XFG?! You are using pre-Z interior textures!

Looks like when I wake up from a deep sleep and go straight onto LFS. All blurry and crap.

I have tried this in the past, and .. I didn't like it for actually driving, too high contrast I guess.

Made me think of a comic though ..

Jep, that's outdated :P
On a fresh LFS install, i run that pack first, and then all my interiors etc etc etc etc :P so about 90% disappears again from the pack

Download "patch X to Z" update then, and install it over your modded LFS install. It'll get back all the interiors and everything that changed on patch Z to its correct form

Yes, that's a pre-patch Z interior. Did you really think that was 'normal'?
