Battlefield 3 Mod Offers Natural Colors
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/04/2012 05:00 AM | 43 comment(s) ]
Check out this Battlefield 3 Mod that Offers Natural Colors. Even though DICE has not provided the mod tools for its game, BF3 modder Frankelstner has created a mod that removes the annoying blue lighting technique (alongside the color grading effect).
A Battlefield 3 comparison video showing how all four Back to Karkand maps look with and without colour grading. In each scene, the standard version of the map is shown first, followed by the modified version.
This was achieved by editing the game files to disable colour grading.
The background music used in the video consists of the three loading tracks from Battlefield 2.
Update: I have developed a tool which you can use to do this. It allows you to tweak the colours and lighting on any expansion map. Download it here: http://bf3.realmware.co.uk/colour-tweaker
Unfortunately, people will get kicked on ranked servers by PB if they're using this tool. Therefore, you can only use it on unranked matches and on SP mode.

Well apparently they are banning people who want to buy it. Guess they will release DLC for Natural colors and charge us £15

Only level that look better in my opinion is Wake. Other just look weird and too cartoony. I prefer the more smoky look, so that it looks like a battlefield.
Plus I think the people saying "DICE is full of idiots this is muuuch better" are just arrogant twats. Those kind of people made the Bioware owners quit too I bet

I...don't know.
With 'real colors', I almost thought it's a level from Far Cry or Just Cause.

I think it looks much better removed. I find all the maps just look bland and way too similar as it stands. Maybe a slight tint, like 10% of what it is, but how it is currently just sucks.

Dear devs @ DICE, if you're reading this, I suggest that you give a job to "Frankelstner", and that you include this mod in your next patch..

I think its a great tool if you only want to change the visuals, the only bad thing about it is you can remove recoil, suppression and change bullet damage.
I think DICE are stupid for not making weapon values server side like vehicles, they are even more stupid for not checking if the cas.cat has been modified before it lets you join a public server.

As far as i know there is another mod which is working on the ranked servers, and gives the same effect and its available since january. The site itself is german, but google translate is your friend. Here is the link if you are interested. Personally I didnt tried it out, but many people claims that its working on ranked servers with punkbuster enabled.

You will get kicked on pb with this as it alters game files, you are better off using aa injectors if you want the legoland look.
also this is NOT the mod that lets you change bullet values ect but uses the same method.

WoW!! Seeing that really makes you wounder what EA was thinking when they added the filters to the game. It looks so much more lifelike with the mod and I think the reviews would have been even better than they were when the game launched.
I don't have any of the expansions for it but seeing that has me wanting to get at least one so I can check it out.. I would love to see it for the single player version of the game.
