    Make your game beautiful...

    Old news, but with some newer players picking this title up, it could be stated again.

    Two powerful tools for making your OFP look muuuch better are DXDLL v1.0 and Llaumax Skypack v1.2

    DXDLL is an amazing tool that does sooo much! It shows your FPS. Allows you to take screenshots. Makes water reflective. And adds this postprocessing effect that smooths out the game graphics and actually makes them glow. Your game will look like movie quality right away. Options can be toggled on and off and you can see your FPS right away to see if any of the options are causing complications for you.

    LLaumax Skypack provides animated clouds and beautiful skies. Trust me, it really adds to the game.

    I just added these two amazing tools into the game so I don't have any immediate OFP screenshots of them, but I have used both tools for VBS1 and can show you how it looks (*note character/vehicle/and terrain models are better than OFP, but the engine is very similar):

    Check out that beautiful sky

    Water is reflective if you wish

    There is this smoothed-out glowing quality that is hard to describe


    Take care and see you on the server!

    Now THAT looks awesome. I'm going to go home and install that stuff ASAP!

    I wonder if it will conflict with the ECP mod at all. I think the ECP mod is mostly just affects and new skins for stock vehicles, but I'll give it a whirl and see how it looks on my machine.

    Thanks en4!

    It doesn't - I've got it running and it looks damn nice. After you install this stuff, google "Dynamic Nogovo" by Mapfact and get that - really showcases this work.

    Well, it's a little late.. I just got home a little while ago so I don't have time to get this stuff installed tonight. But I'll give it a go tomorrow and check it out!
