PoeSmoother - effects remover

[Poimu]

I'd like to thank you very much for this. I can finally.... play the game. It's so absurd that we have to go against tos for it but thats how it it.

I have a question tho; i'd like to use all ur improved effects. But tempest shield doesn't display on my char and i think its an valuable visual information. However i dont see it in skill options. How could i proceed to keep the default effect on tempest shield ?

EDIT : how i did : replace the spell in ParticleEffects > removeEffets > Metadata > Effects > StatusAilments > Spells > Electrical_repulse > sheildepk.epk

with the one in the restore default folder.

I think that part can be all removed...i'm not sure if it has any impact on lag. (StatusAilments directory)
Some of the effects have left behind, because of so many tests i have did, that at some point , i became very confused of what is what
I think that is for chars to create the effects of chilled/frozen/shocked/ignited, and i'm not sure if monsters use this effects too.

Hello everybody. I quite weak PC, so therefore decided to turn off unnecessary effects. Very glad when found your program. But unfortunately it did not help. The effects of skills have been the case. Also big request to you to help turn off the visual effects in the ice trap. I tried the same off, but nothing comes out. I will add screenshots to make it clear that amended. In the way of Metadata / Effects / Spells was all just like you in the above example. But in the way of Metadata / Particles I have a problem, only fact everywhere zero. Perhaps that is why absenteeism and disable visual effects. Thanks for the help. Sorry for my English I use a translator.

But unfortunately it did not help.

Here is a link with all traps disabled (no effects): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ql52enx7nm...fects.zip?dl=0
Just copy everything into "config" folder and confirm overwriting.
Use "other skills" to disable the effects.

But if i do them for you, you won't learn anything, and if you need to change something else in the future....

I will try to make a better tutorial this days.

If you still can't make it work, i can help you fast with teamviewer and you can record it for later use.

Hello, first of all made this account to thank you for your work. You are doing a great job for those who cannot run this poorly optimized game properly. I have a problem though. When I try to remove or configure particle/sound effects, I get this error: http://puu.sh/o0v7x/9df18cbd78.png Doing so by custom effects also don't work.
Modifying skills work perfectly though. It is fun being able to play discharger without dropping below 20fps!

Hi, thanks for the thanks
Your error appears because there are missing files in your sound effects inconsistency in synchronization, all directories must have the same folders/files.
Sound changes are located on SoundEffects only...so if you wanted to change a sound by your own, you must use the exact folders to work.

Every effects goes in his directory, you can read that on Info.

So, let's say you want to change a monster sound...you extract the "directory" of that sound (even if contains many others, you extract all and delete unnecessary folders/files after)...to config\CustomSounds\restoreDefault.
Why custom, because it's easy to find your own files and because other options already have many files added by me. Right now, custom folders are pretty empty.

Again for any skill effects, do the same as above and extract your skill directory into config\SkillEffects\Other Skills or config\OtherEffects.

The tool only replaces the files from RestoreDefault directory with your modifications from RemoveEffects/ZeroEffects and vice a versa.
This is why you must have the same folders & files like in RestoreDefault (it doesn't matter the content of any file...just the structure of the folders).

I should make an you-tube video...it is confusing's me also when explaining it... )))

Good day. Thank you. But the problem remained and did not get off effects. Besides, I spent the same change as you. Maybe something I do not understand how right do, thank you for your help.
p.s play when setting texture quality is much worse, it turned out that was not scary screenshots.

First, delete the old trap folders from everywhere, then extract that zip from me over there.
Check recheck the Other Skills box few times, and also see live if is changing by following the tree path.

Or, i told you, use teamviewer and pm me if you can't get it done....i'm free for next 2 hours.

Thank you I try alone. As you said something you need to learn that in the future could make their own changes.

Anyway, i will do the traps today and post a pre-release, but keep trying yourself,...it's better.

Traps added: https://github.com/vmv/PoeSmoother/releases

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded program again. The problem is, I get same error when I use your settings. I mean these:http://puu.sh/o0RAO/77aa376757.png It didnt give the error only for removing labyrinth effects, but I'm not sure if it actually works too. Also when it gives error, it corrupts game data and fails to load game: http://puu.sh/o0Rr0/a216eee2b8.png . Maybe I'm misunderstanding something? Aren't just checking these boxes enough? Am I supposed the do things you explained above for your prepared options too?

You don't need to do anything else but check what options you need and that's all.
Only if you want other effects that are not included in the tool by me...you need to do what i said earlier.

Now, i think you already have a broken client, and it's best to download a clean one for backup and start new with just checking the checkboxes.

Hello. Finally I found the problem. As it turned out when I changed the file Content.ggpk changes took place not in the file which is in E: \ PatchOfExile and developed is an new folder C: \ VTRoot \ HarddiskVolume1 \ PatchOfExile and there was a new file and Content.ggpk which occurred change. A main folder is no change occurred. Why I do understand that I can not. I decided to write, perhaps even someone will be similar problem. Thanks for the help. You perform excellent work.

Great,
Now you have a clean client and one to test with.

changed some color of lightning arrow and it's imact effects (dunno, will they be laggy on some machines or not, i have no lags atm). Maybe somebody is tired of defaults...
and btw, i just tried this, so there can be mistakes, don't hit me (those projectiles from char are just enchants on gloves, not LA)
