God of War photomode mod v1.0.4

You pressed Insert (the key next to backspace) ? It works fine here.

FransBouma

I can inject no problem and it shows in game, but when I start up the camera nothing moves. Tried re-configuring the keys but it doesn't make a difference. Not sure what to do to make the camera work

Bucket

Okay I’ll give it a try now. Bless you fam. Thank you

FeudalWarriors

If you got the game through steam then it's the official one, but you shouldn't run it as administrator. If you do that the client can't pick it up. You run the game, wait till the menu is there, start the IGCSClient, it'll have selected the process and you then click inject dll

FransBouma

I’m not understanding what you mean brotha? I purchased the game through steam. Was it not the official game ? I’m still new to pc and everything please help me understand.

FeudalWarriors

Get the official game, don't run it as admin

FransBouma

Cheers Fran! GOW tools will not allow me to inject the dll. usually after I select the game exe it highlights red. However, it remains grayed out. Could you please troubleshoot asap thanks mate.

FeudalWarriors

No, for ansel stuff you should contact nvidia but as no-one in the ansel team answers to anything I doubt they'll give you answer :)

FransBouma

Hey Frans, sorry for more messages, I dont suppose you know why Ansel just freezes randomly whilst playing GOW and some other games, it works for a time then jsut stops all input. Thanks!

WoodyWoodChoppr

great stuff!

FransBouma

Thanks again for making this tool. Here is a video I made using it if your interested: https://youtu.be/o5Pl-xa5XE8

read the readme, it's a game menu setting: go to the game settings, then switch that setting off

FransBouma

So... more issues with this particular tool. When I ALT+TAB to go from the game to the tool the game automatically goes to the menu screen. With this screen on I cannot activate the camera tool nor the HUD removal tool. I tried turning on the camera/HUD tools before I ALT+TAB to the tool window and this works (I can now tweak the camera paths) but when I return to the game window I must deactivate the camera/hud tools in order to leave the menu screen and return to the game. Sorry if I'm not making sense... Basically I don't see a way to use the camera paths tool.

Yowza5891

Hmm. Perhaps for some reason it was outside the desktop? In any case, I have no explanation, so your guess is as good as mine! :)

FransBouma

No I don't use that. On a whim, I turned off one of my monitors (I use 3), started the game and then the tool and the camera paths window worked. Strange!

Yowza5891

Never saw this.. when yuo restart the game, and the tools the camera paths window is still gone? Might sound stupid, but you use msi afterburner? If so, could you test by not using afterburner and then start the game + tools ?

FransBouma

Thanks for this. I am encountering an issue with the camera paths window. I click the toggle to turn it on and it shows up in my Windows taskbar but the window itself is no where to be found. Clicking on the taskbar thumbnail does nothing to bring it up... Here is a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/04u079pace08nj0/Screenshot%202022-02-07%20170119.jpg?dl=0

thanks :) Freezing the NPCs was an engine thing (there are a couple of values controlling the animation speeds of various elements), and not related to how they behave towards each other. I haven't seen any faction settings per npc, to be honest. I can't give you any hope on this, as I am currently not looking into it, but perhaps one day.

FransBouma

I'm finally here and got chance to support. I've been using UUU over a year did a lot of videos with it. Because of my local laws I was not able to recieve my youtube earnings and with a recent new law, last week I've finally recieved my earnings and today I'm happy to be here supporting your awesome work. There is something I wanna mention, a suggest for GoW but a very specific one so it is not that important for general photo shooting. If you can add an option to change NPC teams and make them battle each other that would have make awesome photos and videos. Seeing how you managed to freeze NPCs, that gave me some hope. Even though it probably has nothing to do with changing their teams. Thats all from me, thanks again for your amazing work and have a wonderful day.

No, not at all :) I use reshade for that. Reshade is a wrapper around dxgi, basically it sits between the game and the graphics api. So what it does is it renders a full screen layer on top of the game's framebuffer and applies all the effects you enable on that, so you can add depth based effects like depth of field and others to the image. Then I hotsample to the resolution I want, and press printscreen. Reshade will grab the framebuffer with the effects I applied and save it as a png to a folder. I then switch the resolution back to the one I use for gameplay. :) See the reshade guide on the framed site: https://framedsc.com/ReshadeGuides/setupreshade.htm And e.g. the guide of my cinematic dof shader I wrote: https://framedsc.com/ReshadeGuides/Shaders/cinematicdof.htm

FransBouma

Thank you for clarifying. So what are you using to take your shots with then? Capturing through a capture card?

The Explorographer

I'm sorry but what's the desired resolution? I often take shots in different aspect ratios and different resolutions related to those (e.g. 1;1 will require a different resolution than 21:9) ? You also ignore the fact that grabbing the framebuffer isn't 'simple'. Especially if I add my own depth of field effects through e.g. reshade: I then have to make the shot through reshade, not through my own code as that won't contain the effect I just added. In theory, you're right. In practice, it's not doable. I don't operate at the level where the game calls into my api, like with ansel, I have to add my code to the game.

FransBouma

My tools don't take a screenshot as it's often complex to do that (grab the framebuffer) and when you apply effects using e.g. reshade you lose those. upscaling through ai is something nvidia does with neural networks, I'm not able to do that. their superres approach is ok but often fails as it breaks screenspace effects. My tools offer hotsampling functionality which keeps all the screenspace effects.

FransBouma

Okay, what I said above still applies. Why the 6 steps? Wouldn't it be better to have a hotkey that just Snaps the photo at the desired resolution and handles all of that for you? Seems like a bunch of steps just to get an upsampled shot. Also, bump your mouse or hit the wrong key then start over. None of which lends much to the creative process.

The Explorographer

The way Ansel handles Supersampling, upscaling, HDR is better though. Maybe things you can improve on in the future. Just some creative feedback. What is easy for you, is not necessarily easy for others. Getting overly technical interfaces helps open the creative flow better. Just offering some perspective that's all.

The Explorographer

What Yogg said, you setup the shot on your monitor in full view (so pick a resolution of the aspect ratio you want that fits on your monitor), then when you're satisfied, hotsample to a high resolution for the shot, after the shot is taken, resize back to the normal resolution

FransBouma

Ansel's tools as in Freestyle effects you mean? As the camera tools I offer have more functionality than what ansel offers... I always use Reshade and its effects for adding effects to a shot, which is the 'big sister' of freestyle effects (most of the effects in freestyle are ported from reshade, and freestyle is made by the same author). https://reshade.me

FransBouma

You have to choose your point of view before hotsampling.

Also, are you using DSR with hotsampling to get the higher resolutions? The reason I ask, If I run my monitor in 2K, then switch to let's say 4K hotsampling the images becomes large and off centered so much I cannot line up my shot. Fake fullscreen, Windowed, borderless or not. So how are you getting around that?

The Explorographer

Just a thought here, Ansel has great tools, any thoughts on trying to enable Ansel capabilities into games that do not have it?

The Explorographer

Cool cheers

ODINSFALL

NVM, just seen i hadn't turned automatic updates off, so suspect that could be the issue

ODINSFALL

having a little issue with the Leviathan axe not working when dll is injected. just hangs there when thrown. couldn't see a mention in the documentation, so just thought you should know - edit: it's only when hiding the HUD.

ODINSFALL

That might be a limitation of the engine/game? 8K is kind of huge.

FransBouma

I was using geforce experience. Seem to get fine results up to 8k but anything past that will show up with a portion of the image missing or showing up as a black texture

You're running the game as windowed? (and then use the fake fullscreen button to set it to fullscreen)? I also use 21:9 and hotsample to 6K but haven't seen problems like you describe... You use reshade to take the shot or geforce experience?

FransBouma

these tools are incredible. I'm experiencing a weird issue on some 21:9 shots where I'm pushing the resolution pretty high and the right side of the image will display a black bar

thank you for such awesome tools. check the photos i taken with your tools at my instagram account: eos_vp (if you want)

Perfect opportunity to begin NG+ 😁

Finally i can finish it, thnx

khalid

Awesome as always!

Nicely done! :D

It might be there are special cases. I'm not that far into the game, so it might be there's special code used in a couple of cutscenes. But it should work in e.g. the start menu, does it work there for you?

FransBouma

Awesome stuff as always dude! Do you know what I’m doing wrong I can’t use the free cam during cutscenes 🤔

WoodyWoodChoppr

Awesome thanks
