Bulletstorm


Crosshairs Setting
Press Y to Enable crosshairs
Press Y(again) to Disable crosshairs[Default]

Optional Seperate gun sight setting[Convergence/depth]
Instructions: With any weapon equipped. Hold down right mouse button then find optimal setting for gun sights then save setting F7. Release right mouse button, now saved preferred in-game setting.

IMPORTANT
You can still install this fix if crosshairs/hud work properly for you with the added benefit of gun sight aiming convergence/depth setting. Just press Y in-game.

I'm not sure what happened but Bulletstorm used to be near perfect. Now for many users the dynamic crosshairs randomly move to wrong depth and even popout making them more a hindrance then helpful so it was removed. This still happens with hud rarely but it doesn't detract from the experience as much.

Install to.. \Bulletstorm\Binaries\Win32

Bioshock (DX9 only)

Bioshock - by mana84


Last updated on March 05, 2013:
- more shaders fixed

Description:

- Smoke and fog effects are fixed
- Lighting and shadow issues are fixed
- Water effects are fixed
- Reflections and refractions on glass surfaces are fixed
- Added 3d  crosshair (based on real depth values)
- 3D HUD

The game had a lot of 3d stereo issued shaders, I've fixed thousands of them and I believe the fix should be 100% complete now... make me know in case of other issues.

Known issues:
The moon skybox in the very first scene of gameplay appears to be a little nearer than it should be. Sometimes casted shadows are a little off... but they returns "in place" moving a little... I believe I can't "fix" that becouse those are the depth values the game passes to shaders.  (Should be fixed now !)

How to install/play:
- Extract "Bioshock_fix.zip" archive in your "..\Bioshock\Builds\Release\" directory of the game, i.e. for steam version it's "..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Bioshock\Builds\Release\".
- Start the game in DX9, i.e. create a shortcut for bioshock.exe, go to properties and append "-dx9" to the destination field. If you have steam version, you can right-click on the game, click on properties->general->set launch options and add "-dx9" in the field.

I - key switches(cycle) HUD depth (3 variants).
U - key  switches (cycle) depth presets (3 variants).

If you want to save your custom convergence settings press "U" and select required preset, set custom separation/depth settings , then press F7 and your settings will be saved in the config file.

Bioshock_fix.zip

Many thanks to Helix for adding a real 3d chrossair, 3d hud, and improving shadows; and to Schmeltzer, mike_ar69, birthright and foreverseeking for supporting/testing!

Dead Space 3 - 3D Vision fix

Dead Space 3 - 3D Vision fix.




Updated (same link).

Fixed stars sky box.


Fixed:
- Light;
- Shadows;
- Fog/dust/fire HALOs effects (probably not all of them);

Screenshots gallery.

Remaining issues:
- flares (small light spot) a bit improved , but not fixed. Can render for one eye sometime. You can still off them in the graphic settings menu.
- It's WIP version , I did a "batch edit" of the shaders and that means some effects may be still not fixed.
I don't have much time to play through all game, so if you find any issues and want to help with fixing upload a save game and a screenshoot  with found issue.



Instructions:
Download this archive. Unpack downloaded archive in to the folder where game .exe file (deadspace3.exe) located (example : "Origin\Games\Deas Space 3").
Note: If you have crashes when trying to use the fix with other overlay programs like Precision X(Afterburner and etc), try COOP version of the fix(see below) it has better compatibility with third-party overlay software.

COOP version.
Note: You should use it with wariness there is a chance that someday origin anti-cheat system can mark it as cheat. This chance is small, but no one know for sure...

To install version for coop do the following steps:
1. Download and install the original fix (described above);
2. Rename d3d9.dll to d3d9_old.dll(or any other name, doesn't matter);
3. Download this archive and unpack it to the same dir where you put original fix(see above).
4. Run HeliXmodLauncher.exe and after that run the game (note: if you run game with administrative rights, then HeliXmodLauncher.exe should be run with same right as well).
5. Play :)

U - key  switches (cycle) depth presets (3 variants).
Note: Default convergence is too high for start menu (use U key).

Holding Mouse 2 key activate low separation preset (for good aiming from the gun)

If you want to save your custom convergence settings press "U" and select required preset, set custom separation/depth settings , then press F7 and your settings will be saved in the config file. You can set custom settings for both presets and for gun preset as well (when holding mouse button 2(aiming gun), set custom separation/depth  settings and press F7. Release mouse button 2).

GUIDE: How to make custom depth/convergence presets on mouse buttons.

This is a great feature for games with cinematics/story scenes like rpg's. Helix fortunately includes this feature in his new dll's and is great for people with middle mouse button[I hope all of us by now], mouse button 4 or, mouse button 5.

Step 1:
Download this file. HERE.
Step 2: 
Move the dx9settings.ini's in labeled folder.
This will let you bind 3 settings to Middle Mouse Button[cycle]
This will let you bind 3 settings to Mouse Button 4[cycle].
This will let you bind 3 settings to Mouse button 5[cycle].
Step 3:
Install extracted files to game folder[where exe is located]. Move the dx9settings.ini you need depending on mouse button. I recommend installing one level up as well just in case also in any folders labeled BIN.
Step 4:
Test. If it does not its either not DX9, not installed right, or incompatible.
Step 5:
In game find your "Preset 1" situation. Click mouse button and screen should change depth/convergence. IF it does now adjust to your liking and save using F7. Repeat up to three times.
Step 6[OPTIONAL]
If you want to use only 2 keys. Open your dx9settings.ini
CHANGE
Presets = 12;13;14;
TO
Presets = 12;13;

Done

THIS IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY[Do not ask for help it is time consuming]

Continue Reading IF you want to add this feature to an already existing "HELIX MODDED" game. Make sure the d3d9.dll included with helix patch is larger then 600kb. If it is not then the feature can not be added. Do not try it, new version is written in special format. IF it is, open existing DX9SETTINGS.INI
Look for top line PresetsKeysList =
If this line doesn't exist add it. Now you want 10 on the list. So it will look like either look something like this PresetsKeysList = 10; or [EXAMPLE] PresetsKeysList = 0;1;2;3;10;
Now we want these lines after all the general section if no keys existing already. IF other keys exist on list already. You want these line after the LAST KEY.
[KEY10]
Key = 502
Presets = 12;13;14;
Type = 1

 [PRES12]
UseSepSettings = true
SaveSepSettings = true
Convergence = 0x423a7070
Separation = 0x42a00001

[PRES13]
UseSepSettings = true
SaveSepSettings = true
UseByDef = true
Convergence = 0x425a7153
Separation = 0x42a00001

[PRES14]
UseSepSettings = true
SaveSepSettings = true
Convergence = 0x4276009f
Separation = 0x42a00001

Now SAVE and start game. Test Middle mouse button to confirm it changes. If it does and you want different key. Mouse button 4 is 503, Mouse button 5 is 504.

GUIDE: How to bind a custom convergence/depth setting to Right mouse click [Gun sights/Sniper]

Step 1: Download file. HERE
Step 2: Find game's .exe. Extract into same folder / One level up/ AND In any folder labeled BIN.
Step 3: Test it in game. As long as right mouse is held down depth/convergence should change.
If this does not work either game is not DX9, Installed incorrectly, or is incompatible.
