Using Injectors -- Sweetfx

[xxx7]

Thought I'd re-write this post since a lot has been answered, solved, etc. and make a single go-to post for quick overview. This thread is about the use of SweetFX for Warframe. Thanks to some very helpful Tenno -- mainly sushidubya, Koyamina, RedDirtTrooper, CeePee, and RawGritz -- we now have a complete set-up guide!

 

Great news everyone: Thanks to U14, Warframe is now compatible with SweetFX in DX11! No more "half-half-grey-glitch"!




IS IT LEGAL?

So, first things first: Can the use of a graphical/shader injector mod ban you? Answer is

Nope, you're good.

and can be found here posted by no one else but DE_Steve himself: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/34366-update-781/page-5#entry314666



WHAT'S IT FOR?

Alright, with that out of the way, what does it actually do? Well, in short it enhances the graphics, mainly by sharpening and eliminating the blurries caused by Warframe's FXAA. Here are some comparison shots. Removed pics. Might post a more extreme setting to better showcase the difference ("it's hard to put a movie in an image").

 

 

 

 

INSTALL GUIDE

How do I get and install it? I suggest you follow sushidubya's step-by-step guide here. Please note that for non-Steam users your install directory will be

/Warframe/Downloaded/Public

instead of

/Steam/SteamApps/commons/Warframe

OK. I got a couple of PMs from the other posters in this thread. So if you guys read earlier I recommended to try the "sharp and clean" setting at this link:

http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/445/

on that link he refers people to download a certain build of sweetFX here:

http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4581604&postcount=528

All I did was take the files like in this image here:



and copied them to my install folder (it varies depending on if you used steam or original installer) but basically the folder where Warframe.exe is located. The folder should look like this after you copy the files:



So on that first link I have referred you guys to the "sharp and clean" page looks like this:



Download the text file by clicking "download preset" then take that text file and copy to the warframe install directory:



It should look like the picture above when you're done. you're going to delete the original "SweetFX_Settings" file. After that you're going to take the "SweetFX_Settings_Warframe_Sharp and clean.txt" file and rename it to "SweetFX_Settings" exactly like the original file.

To make sure it's installed correctly there's a way to make half the screen work with SweetFX and the other half not. So you can verify it's running. Open that text file and you should see this:



Change the number 0 that I highlighted in red to a 1 then save the txt file.

Open the warframe launcher and make sure you're using 32bit. You should see a dramatic difference between the right side of the screen (SweetFX active) vs the left side which is normal.

Good luck and enjoy!

Important

If you want to use WF in 64bit mode, just copy the files (d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll) in the SweetFx_64 folder and replace the one in the WarFrame main folder. Make backup of the original file in case you wanna use 32bit later.

If you keep crashing when using the 64bit version, close all overlay you have like Fraps/TS3 overlay. You can run Fraps after the game has been launched. (Thanks for reminding me, Alif. Don't know why I forgot to add this)

I'll keep this updated and will try to add as much as possible. Feedback, questions, etc. welcome!


NOTES:

SMAA does not seem to work with Nvidia cards. SMAA does work on Nvidia cards. If you can't see any difference try lowering the SMAA threshold (I put it on 0.08 along with lowering LumaSharpen to 2.30). Also, be sure to turn off in-game AA or it won't work!

The 64bit version has been tested and found to work on both Nvidia and AMD/ATI cards.

 

SweetFx is now 100% compatible with Warframe in DX11 mode, thanks to U14!

Original post:

Now I know there have been various talks about this in the past, but not one of them actually answered this question. I tried contacting the DEvs, but they seem busy reading old PMs XD.

So, on to the question: Is the use of graphical/shader injector mods (read SweetFX) allowed to use for Warframe? I'd really like to use it for LumaSharpen, SMAA, and perhaps some color tint changes.

If anyone has an answer to this, please do post and include source if possible. Thanks!

Still having problems installing it correctly as I have Nvidia and Warframe directory paths seem to have changed since last instructions were made...I'll keep y'all posted. Note: I'm trying to install SweetFX via configurator, not the vanilla SweetFX.

Oh, use the vanilla version. You don't need any front end.

There are so many different builds that matching a front end or "configurator" may just botch things for you.

Check the link I made in the post before for "sharp and clean" settings for warframe. Also download the version that the guy used.

Supposedly the build that he links is both 32 and 64 bit compatible. BUT, I noticed that 64 bit looks similar (lighting is enhanced though?) and on 32 bit it's DEFINITELY WORKING.

PM me if you need help lol. Enjoy! SweetFX breathed new life into the game for me! XD

[Reploid_]

Thanks! I did it before I was able to get on the forums to report. But success! The game looks beautiful! It's as if I went from watching something on Standard Definition to HD.

I used this guys settings:

http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/445/

It's called "sharp and clean" and so worth doing. No real FPS drop at all.

I use similar settings, but no SMAA, and I have Lumasharpen at a slightly higher value. Really helps the game look more like it should.

This is the post with the current newest 64 bit and directx 11 compatible stand alone version. It works with warframe with no problem. For the steam version of warframe you just extract it straight into the main warframe folder, and then overwrite the 32 bit dlls with the 64 bit ones in their own folder. It will work with some basic default settings just that way, but you'll have to tweak them beyond that.

 

I will warn you that this new version doesn't seem to be compatible with the old config files, you'll have to manually copy the settings over into the new setting file.

His post above is exactly what you do. The presets for some reason don't seem to work well at all with the newest version we both linked to. You have to replace/edit the sweetfx_settings file to change the preset.

 

Edit: I just wanted to mention that although previous versions had to be in 32 bit mode, the one we both linked is working perfectly in 64 bit mode for me, as long as you remember to copy the correct dlls from the sweetfx_x64 folder over and overwrite the 32 bit ones.

Thanks for confirming and I got 64 bit to work too. lol

(DERP can't believe I didn't see it before)

Open the folder SweetFX_x64 and copy those files into the warframe install directory replacing the original "d3d9.dll" and "dxgi.dll" files.

I made a copy of the old ones and put them into a new directory called "SweetFX_x32" should there be any reason for me to run 32bit again.

Enjoy! XD

P.S. play with some of the "lumasharpen" settings. I pumped mine up and the game is really beautiful. I see so many details that I've never seen before.

Sure no problem, but remember everybody's screen is different. I basically put these as high as I could go right before I started feeling the image was grainy.

Here they are:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------.

/ LumaSharpen settings /

// -- Sharpening --

#define sharp_strength 2.50 //[0.10 to 3.00] Strength of the sharpening

#define sharp_clamp 0.025 //[0.000 to 1.000] Limits maximum amount of sharpening a pixel recieves - Default is 0.035

// -- Advanced sharpening settings --

#define pattern 2 //[1|2|3|4] Choose a sample pattern. 1 = Fast, 2 = Normal, 3 = Wider, 4 = Pyramid shaped.

#define offset_bias 1.0 //[0.0 to 6.0] Offset bias adjusts the radius of the sampling pattern.

//I designed the pattern for offset_bias 1.0, but feel free to experiment.

// -- Debug sharpening settings --

#define show_sharpen 0 //[0 or 1] Visualize the strength of the sharpen (multiplied by 4 to see it better)

Whenever I try to run Warframe with the 64 bit version it's just crashing. I wasn't noticing any differences beforehand, but since I popped in that new injector it's been falling apart. Obviously, using the injector I can turn off SweetFX and my game runs perfectly, just annoying.

Edit: Fixed it, dunno what I did wrong but it works now.

Edited September 27, 2013 by felldian

[RebelHorizon]

So if I understand this right, the only setting you need to have turned off in-game is AA?  High dynamic range doesn't clash with anything the injector does?  It does make a very noticeable improvement.

I think the only way to get this pinned is to PM a moderator. I don't know if they want everyone running it. While there really can't be much of an issue and it's allowed, it's probably not supported. It could be a headache for the help desk if there's some kind of incompatibility going forward. (highly unlikely)

Yes. It's an overlay as one of the posters who helped me out before mentioned. I was worried about it causing trouble with Warframe's original graphical settings. I still leave in-game AA on most of the time, but I've been tinkering around with sometimes turning it off. It looks great either way.

Make sure you don't run stuff like steam overlay, xfire or fraps, they can mess up parts of sweetfx or enb modifications

[InVermilion]

With that sharp & clean preset, the game just looks that little bit nicer, which actually makes quite the difference. This is on a GTX670 and the 64bit version, so obviously no SMAA, but still very nice.

Only if you're using the SMAA setting, which is for AMD GPUs and thus does nothing if you've got an nVidia card.

Open these in different tabs and switch between, you'll see the difference.

 

SweetFX gives that little oomph to make the image look sharper and deeper, essentially making it nicer to look at.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me...why would SMAA not work for Nvidia? I know for a matter of fact that it does, as I use SMAA through SweetFX for my flight sim setup, and I'm using a GTX560Ti. I have yet to try it on Warframe though.

@sushidubya: Thanks to you posting that guide I found out what I was doing wrong...turns out I was so into the standard SweetFX installation, I just put the whole folder into the folder with the warframe.exe. That's what made it crash/not work for me. Anyone else having issues, be sure to follow this step exactly:

 

 

Note: SweetFX install folder for non-Steam version is Warframe/Downloaded/Public.

and copied them to my install folder (it varies depending on if you used steam or original installer) but basically the folder where Warframe.exe is located. The folder should look like this after you copy the files:

The Steam overlay seems to work just fine with the newest version of SweetFX, Fraps just instantly crashes it though. Can't make videos with the better graphics :(

SMAA works very well, beautifully on Nvidia GPUs. Just wanted to correct that for anybody who needed to know. 

 

You can use FXAA or SMAA, but not both at the same time. SMAA tends to have much better quality, FXAA does less quality, can make some blurriness, but has almost NO performance hit.

That's what I thought, but I can't seem to get it to work...or am I just not using the right value?

 

::Edit::

 

Yes, SMAA does work! I'm going to play with some more settings before I post my results. =)

 

::Edit #2::

 

Reducing LumaSharpen to 2.30 and SMAA threshold  to 0.08 seems to give me the best results so far. Here is my settings build so far if interested.
