Colour Lobby got its way
« on: 01-04-2009, 20:04:37 »
I see the colour reality lobby finally got its way. This just goes to show that their incessant posting (in the old forums, you won't find them here) finally wore down the devs to the point where they simply caved in and let a vocal minority have its way.

Sorry, but its a black (and white) day for FH.

I was always for a black and white FH2. I mean seriously, when you are an expert and sight hours after hours of genuine WW2 footage (like me) you just know beyond any doubt that it's the only way to truly represent this conflict.

It was only a matter of time until we got the realism we deserved! I approve of color realism!

**** color. The world without color is a more realistic and happy world.

C'mon! 1-st of April is about to end. Do you think everybody trusted in that black-and-white Normandy?

I played quite a bit of FH1 without color. My video card let me play it in a sepia tone with some film reel grain and such as well. Just like in the good ol' days.

I can't wait to see the gray, white and dark grey flying over Normandy soon.

Says sometimes what is there in it... N24Reporter said me that with realism knows black&white mode already longer time with FH2 with the help of a .txt file is possible.  :o

Does anybody know there more and if so, then how must be called.txt and which text contents must it have or be even empty like immersive-hud.txt?  ???

The "B&W film mode" has been in FH2 since 2.0, but it can only be used on non-punkbustered servers.
ctz posted this a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (FF forums, that is)


First, read this!

- Do NOT attempt to play online with this. At best you'll get kicked, at worst you'll get banned from all PB servers. You have been warned!
- Make a backup of GameLogicInit.con.

With that said:

1. Open mods/fh2/GameLogicInit.con in notepad. Add a line
Code: [Select]
run fh2-classic.con anywhere in this file. Save.
2. Download this to your mods/fh2 folder.
3. Start a single player game and voila!

To disable, delete your changed GameLogicInit.con and replace with your backup.

PS: is there some sort of click-to-enlarge tag (for big pics) on this forum? like the
Spoiler
tag on FF forums for example?

Soiler tags are on their way (see OT forum). Patience, this forum hasn't fully settled in yet :)

Lol nice april fools... not nearly as amazing as your one two years ago that talked about FH2 coming out on consoles or the BF:Heroes one, but recent events have certainly caused some disarray.

For the record I really like these forums... I'm beginning to settle in and think FH2 really needs to stay HERE.

Check out my Red Orchestra, FH2, and shooting videos!

i dont like this idea.  i mean,  sure,  we can mostly only look BACK and see ww2 in black and white, but did the soldiers?  this is going to make it much harder to see and fly.  i already noticed that when u aim sometimes, its goes black and white,   and i hate it,  its too blurry.



and now watch as everybody rips on me and my different opinion... :(

Your blurry ironsights are a texture bug. How did it go, again? Something about deleting the shader cash from somewhere and restarting FH2.

Anyways, it's just an April Fools joke, so don't get all out of whack about it.
