PoeSmoother - effects remover

[bSun0000]

[[ NoEffects Pack for the Delve League ]]

Removes almost every single effect from the game to make it work on any potato machine. Literally.
(but it does not touch the material properties in Art folder from .mat files, only Metadata)

Removals of fog, extra-gore, dead bodies and other functionality from Free PoeSmoother is already build-in, you don't need to use smoother for that.
New feature: 3d items on the ground is hidden from rendering.
Orbs and elder ground effect is not included - forgot about them.. will add in the future updates.

You can read the full description in my older post (prev. league) here:

[[ Download ]]

[[ Warning ]]
This pack is almost not tested yet - use on your own risk! Not a hardcore viable and never will be. No configuration options (now or in the future).
MAKE A BACKUP of your Metadata folder (extract it from Content.ggpk somewhere) - you will need this files if you encounter a crash related to modified files
(simple get the filename from error message and restore it from backup manually).
Loading, first town, delve - seems to be working fine now (with crashfix1).

Don't forget to defragment your disk after installing any of my packs or game updates.

[[ Known issues ]]
Screen can flicker between dark & saturated variations with this pack, but this CAN be solved by changing the graphical settings.
As an example this is my production_Config.ini:

Probably Display section alone is enough..

Copy them from my pack and u'r fine.

Which one?

[microphy]

Metadata\Monsters\Monster.ot
Metadata\Characters (entire folder)

He means you go to those folders and upload with smoother if you did whole art/meta stuff but got game updated

[rashpumpkin]

Allright, so I should use smoother, let the game to update and then paste those files once more?

[microphy]

Yes. Sometimes when there is big patch, it will be more efficient to reinstall whole packs but in this case only those two folders.

[poebota5]

Hey bSun, while I was in the process of replacing textures (drop/dragging into smoother) I took the Textures folder and dropped it over and after a little bit it basically told me "Unable to replace file XXX > missing"

Textures folder must be inside of Art folder - Smoother\VisualGGPK can replace files (with drag&drop) only from root folder.

Pretty sure all files still in place, ggg does not make too big changes after new expansion rolls out.

@bSun0000

For the NoEffects, how do I bring back Arc sounds and spell effects? I just want everything to have no effect except for my own spell.

Restore from your backup this folders:
Metadata\Effects\Spells\Arc (Arc_02, arc_purple)
Metadata\Effects\Microtransactions\Spells\arc

Anyone know the folder for Consecrated path? Was thinking it was conv_strike but I don't want to fuck shit up and whatnot.
