WoS World Space 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.

Features

• []World-space volumetric clouds, occluded by the city's depth buffer[/]

  []Cumulus shapes with broad weather masses, billowing lobes and eroded edges[/]

  []Silver-lining forward scattering, soft multiple scattering and height-based ambient light[/]

  []Cloud deck that continues all the way to the horizon[/]

  []Round sun disc with glow that clouds pass in front of[/]

  []Adjustable sun direction, sunlight colour and cloud shadow colour[/]

  []Smooth wind animation[/]

  []10 presets, plus saving and sharing your own[/]

  []English in-game menu with tooltips[/]

  []Optional Vivid Sky add-on: a clean saturated gradient instead of the painted panorama[/]

  Presets

  Default - Fair Weather, Summer Cumulus, Golden Hour, Sunset Blaze, Stormy Overcast, Swing Through the Clouds, High Altocumulus, Scattered Mostly Clear, Moonlit Night, Symbiote Invasion.

  Requirements

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

    []exWoS by kirbystealer[/]

    Installation

    • []Close the game and install exWoS.[/]

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

      []Copy everything inside the Game files folder of the archive into the game folder (next to Spider-Man Web of Shadows.exe). Merge folders when asked.[/]

      []Run Setup-WinMM.cmd in the game folder. It creates winmm_original.dll (a local copy of the Windows 32-bit winmm.dll) and enables the mod in exWoS\exWoS.config.ini (WorldSpaceClouds=40, BloomPipeline=1) after backing that file up. Wait for "Done.".[/]

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

    Manual setup, the optional Vivid Sky add-on, the full menu reference and uninstall steps are in README.txt.

    Updating from 1. 0. 0

    Overwrite the old files with the new ones and run Setup-WinMM.cmd again. Your settings are kept; apply a preset to see the new look. If you used the older combined Clouds & Lighting package, set GtaStyleLighting=0 and Clouds_LiveMenu=0 under . The setup warns about these.

    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.[/]
