Bring back vignette effect to snapmatics.

Tengerecki

When last gen came out, selfie mode had a vignette + scanlines effect to it. Rockstar removed it unfortunately. I need a mod that simply just adds this effect (by default) to snapmatics. Anyone, please?

This is that effect.

Open timecycle_mods_4.xml (update/update.rpf/common/data/timecycle) and search for phone_cam1. Remove all the values and then paste these ones:

    <postfx_desaturation>0.750 0.000</postfx_desaturation>
    <postfx_noise>0.000 0.000</postfx_noise>
    <postfx_vignetting_intensity>0.975 0.000</postfx_vignetting_intensity>
    <postfx_vignetting_radius>10.000 0.000</postfx_vignetting_radius>
    <postfx_vignetting_contrast>0.250 0.000</postfx_vignetting_contrast>
    <postfx_vignetting_col_r>0.024 0.000</postfx_vignetting_col_r>
    <postfx_vignetting_col_g>0.035 0.000</postfx_vignetting_col_g>
    <postfx_vignetting_col_b>0.047 0.000</postfx_vignetting_col_b>
    <postfx_scanlineintensity>0.100 0.000</postfx_scanlineintensity>

Also change numMods from 39 to 9.
Note: you still need to toggle the filter (the first one).

@Tengerecki curious, did that work out for you?

Yep, it did work. Thanks Alex106!

I just took these and yes it works, but...got 2 questions:

1.) is it possible to add this vignette effect as default? So that when you open camera it'll have this particular effect right away PLUS if user switches effects, this scanlines + vignette adds up to them so it'll basically be a combination of this effect and the rest. Or wasn't it like that on last gen?

2.) Wasn't this phone_cam1 effect stronger on last gen? I mean more vignette + thicker scanlines and more contrast?
Look at these original last gen selfies:

There appears to be more contrast. Is it possible to add more contrast and stronger effects?
Do you have the early xbox360 or ps3 file? What were the values?

You can literally tweak it there

Yea I just realized. I'm doing it right now but I have to restart game each time changes have been made because TimeCycle Reloader doesn't support "timecycle_mods_" file.

But I still don't know if the first question I asked is possible.

"1.) is it possible to add this vignette effect as default?

Idk how to tweak it.

The second one seems to be easy, I can edit the values.

@Tengerecki

I bet this was handled from the .csc/.xsc scripts to be enabled by default, so no.
Just checked and there's only a difference: the postfx_noise value is 0.050 0.000 (old gen) instead of 0.000 0.000 (PC).
