I haven't started playing yet, but it would be nice if the paramterizing is indeed something that can be done in an ini file and (importantly) is quick and easy for you to set up. For me it's not a big deal, it would just be nice to have.

Would it be possible to do a mass-edit of the shaders to achieve this? If it's just monkey-work, I can probably help out.

[quote="Pirateguybrush"]Would it be possible to do a mass-edit of the shaders to achieve this? If it's just monkey-work, I can probably help out.[/quote] Yeah I think there are only 3 shaders I think. You can find them by either looking at the top of the header for something like "//Particles" or looking in the shader body for "*0.645;" e.g. 2e76c6633676b198-vs_replace.txt. To correct it replace 0.645 with "iniParams.y", but be sure to put "float4 iniParams = IniParams.Load(0);" before you use it. Also you need to put "Texture1D<float4> IniParams : register(t120);" just after the StereoParams declaration in the header section. You will then need to work out what the value should be to make the particles fit with your new FOV value. I think the formula you want is "tan(FOV/2)". 0.645 is approx 65.5 deg.

Sounds fairly straightforward. I probably won't get around to doing it for a little while, but that's good information to have, thanks. How would it relate to the ini file?

Great, thanks. Would it be possible to set presets, as you can in helixmod?

It definitely, 100% works. Some people were saying they'd like the camera to be a little further away from the character, but that's a personal preference. I'm going to try and make that work at some stage (not soon) if you want that ability, but it's not necessary. As for SLI/Chrome, you can disable 3D, start Chrome, and re-enable it. Chrome will keep working as long as 3D was off when it was started. It's inconvenient, but it works

If anybody here is on Windows 8.1 and has seen this game's mods either work or not I'd appreciate some insight? I'm not real keen on spending money on a dual installation with Windows 7 before I know whether 8/8.1 is the root of the problem I'm having or not, and I'm also a bit reluctant to throw in the towel and just play it in 2d before I've ruled out any feasible fix that might help. Any input from somebody who has seen SOM work in 3d on 8.1 would be very helpful. And off topic a bit... yes, the Steam fall sale is *everything*. I'm pretty much stocked on games to play for the next 6 months. :D

Happy to report I figured it out & the mod is working perfectly for me now! :D First I tried rolling back to driver version 337.88 - that didn't work well at all. The driver didn't recognize the game and in stereo mode half the game rendered flat grey. Then I did a clean install back to version 344.75, using both DriverFusion & DDU (along with a manual search of my entire computer for any "nv*" files, several of which were lingering in the Windows folder). After the clean install, I reinstalled the mod and *manually* for each file did file properties > unblock. I think Windows was actually blocking all of the files in the mod package because it thought they came from a different computer. I had previously tried repackaging the zip folder myself to alleviate this problem, but it didn't work; it seems manually telling Windows the files were ok to use was what it took for the game to be able to build the shader cache with the correct override data. Anyway, hope this helps anybody else who might encounter a similar problem, and thank you all for your help troubleshooting. I'm off to kill Sauron now. ;)

Smooth as butter on my setup. Fix is fab. SLI is great. Only issue that bothered me (and I am fussy as f...) is the 2D target icons. The game menu features so many tweak-able settings but you cant toggle these elements. Such a swine because they're superfluous because they are on the minimap. I hate in game icons at the best of times. Immersion killers. Moan moan moan.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
