Perhaps I am missing something, but aren't all these display options available in game now?

Also, not exactly sure this is a modding tool, more of a configuration tool! Perhaps this does not fit within the MODDING realm.

Others may find this tool useful though. I just think this is in the wrong section of the forums!

I made the same point when the mods moved the original thread here.

The tool is a work in progress. As the settings arent even finished being implemented yet there isnt much point in writing the rest just yet.

Eventually I may make the tool manage or provide 1 click installs for some mods (NoIntro for example). So its not totally off topic in this section.

Could you not just edit one thread rather than creating a new one for each version? And a config tool happily falls under the remit of modding.

Why is this app needed exactly?

It doesn't seem to expose any hidden settings that aren't already in the game's visual settings menu.

So again I ask, what is this useful for?

Tell me where Translucent Shadows is in the game menu? (I do actually see it is on the menu, but you are not able to change it, The option is disabled)

Or HZB Culling for example. Not in the game menu.

The tool is very early, it will come to encompass many settings as well as serve the purpose of launcher in the next compile.

They aren't able to changed in the menu because they don't work yet.

I suggest you read this if you are having performance issues.

Thanks, I will but there is nothing about HZB culling said there.

Does anybody else know what HZB culling in this app means?

In this app, HZB culling refers to Hierarchical Z-Buffer Occlusion Culling.

Again refer to that forum post to better your C:R experience, this app will not benefit over the in game options that are available to you now.

If you hover over HZB Culling in my tool, along with many of the other settings. A tooltip will show that will tell you what various settings do and their impact. Much of the text is quoted from the devs and the thread that dvine mentioned.

Minor nitpick. The options are pretty hard to read on the background images. If you popped them into a group box with a translucent background colour it would enhance readability without diminishing the overall look and feel.

Thats why I included options to change to single color background or change the text color to something obscene :)

Uh, I thought exactly what Errol did, and also didn't see the menu. But maybe you should make the default menu background be more contrasting. I say that only 1 out of every 10 people would really prefer a brighter background over a more subtle one. Your best bet would probably be to just wait for feedback when the completed release happens, though.

I'm no longer developing those tools. They've been in the state they're in for about 2 years. I just remember the location of the settings, that and the text is still mostly legible. Most people I've seen use the tools just change the background to black.

No no, I meant for your current Carma tool. You said that when you finish it, it'll look similar to the ones in those screenshots.
