WoS Volumetric clouds

WoS World Space Clouds

By grailnight | Version 1. 1. 0

Real volumetric clouds for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows PC. The clouds exist in the world: skyscrapers cut into them, you can climb a tower and web-swing through a low deck, and the layer curves away to the horizon. Tune everything live in an in-game menu (F3) or pick one of 10 presets.

The game's own exposure, bloom and tone curve are kept. No lighting, shadow, fog or color-grading changes. No ReShade required.

Now a single file

The whole mod is one winmm.dll. Shaders and presets are built into it. No setup script, no winmm_original.dll, no exWoS config edits.

  Requirements

  • []Spider-Man: Web of Shadows PC v1. 1 (Direct3D 9)[/]

    []exWoS by kirbystealer, with its bloom fix enabled (BloomPipeline=1, the exWoS default)[/]

    Installation

    • []Install exWoS.[/]

      []If your game folder already has a winmm.dll from another mod, back it up. Two winmm.dll mods cannot run together.[/]

      []Drag winmm.dll from the archive into the game folder, next to Spider-Man Web of Shadows.exe.[/]

      []Start the game, press F3, open the Presets tab and choose a look.[/]

    Settings are saved automatically to WoS_VolumetricClouds\clouds_menu.ini. The full menu reference is in WoS_World_Space_Clouds_README.txt.

    Updating from the previous upload (Setup-WinMM version)

    • []Replace winmm.dll with the new one.[/]

      []Delete the files that are no longer used: winmm_original.dll, Setup-WinMM.cmd, Setup-WinMM.ps1 and the exWoS\WorldSpaceClouds folder.[/]

      []In exWoS\exWoS.config.ini remove WorldSpaceClouds=40. Leave BloomPipeline=1.[/]

      []If you used the older combined Clouds & Lighting package, set GtaStyleLighting=0 and Clouds_LiveMenu=0 under .[/]

    Your settings are kept; apply a preset to see the new look.

    Uninstall

    Delete winmm.dll and the WoS_VolumetricClouds folder.

    Compatibility

    • []Conflicts with other mods that ship their own winmm.dll, or that replace the bloom (0x072A8139) or sky (0x943648A9) shaders.[/]

      []ReShade works alongside, but it changes how the clouds look.[/]

      []The sun direction is set by the preset or the menu. The clouds do not follow the game's time of day, and they do not cast shadows on the city.[/]

      []Not tested on every GPU or in every cutscene. No frame rate guarantee. If performance is low, lower Thickness or raise Cloud base.[/]

      Antivirus warnings

      winmm.dll is a wrapper DLL: Windows loads it from the game folder and it forwards every WinMM call to C:\Windows\System32\winmm.dll. Malware uses the same loading trick, so a few machine-learning scanners may flag the file even though it is harmless. The DLL is not packed or obfuscated, reads no other processes, sends nothing over the network and writes only its own settings and presets.
