me3 no dof reduce black crush variation

- description

So these tweaks are based on disabling 'dof' in the 'GamerSettings.ini'

this approach can be found in a number of other mods on this nexus.

The twist in this case is a specific shadertweak with helix and

some specific color balancing with sweetfx.

Take note disabling 'dof' also alters a number of other effects,

bloom, screen fringing aka vignette, flares and it alters the colors

quite a lot, this mod focuses specifically on the color alteration

in an attempt to restore it to somewhat a somewhat more normalized palette.

Finally there are a number of specific tweaks to fog issues on

the normandy and the object selector (doors, etc).

Helix tweaks contain:

- re-balance contrast and gamma dof is off

- remove object selector javick room deck engineering

- remove fog normandy javick room deck engineering

- remove object selector unfortunately also reduces bloom

Further a sweetfx tone map re-balances brightness, normalizes

the color palette and a 'poor mans form of tessellation' gives the assets

(objects, environment, etc) a bit of relief and more definition.

Also added smaa so please disable AA in the game.

An optional GamerSettings.ini (use with caution)

- install

First, this is really necessary, disable 'dof' in the GamerSettings.ini

this can be found in the folder:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config

DepthOfField=True

DepthOfField=False

Copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder of

mass effect 3, the folder which contains MassEffect3.exe.

'mass effect 3\Binaries\Win32\MassEffect3.exe'

With exception of the folder 'optional'.

This contains a copy of 'GamerSettings.ini' as example,

normally the file is located in:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config

- optional install

If you do not like using unverified dll's you can download helix from

http://helixmod.blogspot.com/

and place following file in the install dir of mass effect 3

This package contains a 'd3d9.dll.hxdb' this is the debug version

which allows shaders to be found in game, usage rename d3d9.dll to

d3d9.dll.o then rename d3d9.dll.hxdb to d3d9.dll and in some cases

set UseEndScene = false to UseEndScene = true in the dx9set
