Quick D2R Guide on Act1 Outdoor Fog Edits

[pairofdocs]

Hi PK,

I'm posting a simple D2R guide after getting motivation from Kingpin on the Discord

Json files are in D2R\Data\hd\env\vis\ and can be extracted with CascView
There are 6 outdoor jsons:

• act1_outdoors_dawn1.json
• act1_outdoors_dawn2.json
• act1_outdoors_day.json
• act1_outdoors_dusk1.json
• act1_outdoors_dusk2.json
• act1_outdoors_night.json

Setting the depthFogColor to 1,1,1 and depthFogDensity to 0 will remove the fog effect in act1

Code: Select all

"depthFogColor": {"x": 1, "y": 1, "z": 1},
"depthFogDensity": 0,

Launch your game with -direct -txt

I first noticed how fog was not present when I entered a hut in act1's wilderness. The grass looked greener and I wanted to remove the grayness from my outdoor areas.
With this json edit the grass and environment looks more vivid and less gray.

Default outdoors env settings:


depthFogDensity at 0:

extract the data CASC contents to the game dir and then it finally worked

Once the CASC data has been added, editing the json files and launching Game.exe with parameters -direct -txt will launch D2R with the modded files loaded.

For an explanation on what `-direct -txt` does, see the modding guide https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63972 and https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Game_com ... attributes
