[RELEASE] Play without color correction online (post processing effect)

[tehMITCH]

I have made a bunch of blank color correction files and replaced them with the default color corrections for all the maps. Color correction is one of the post processing effects that can make the game look overly contrasted, etc. There's not a huge amount of difference, but it can make the game look nicer nonetheless, in my opinion. Valve will probably patch this like they did with my no vignette, but whatever. I'm still trying to find ways to get that dang vignette off ^.^

Place the files in your csgo folder, +rep if you'd like xD

Sick! Really thanks for this one!! Just to make sure isn't there any possible way to get VAC banned for this because we are replacing files?

Think of it as skinning.
You are not injecting any dlls or modifying the games process at all, so, in other terms, no you can not get banned for this.

However this doesn't work in sv_pure servers.

worked on a few servers that i tried, idk :\

Oke you described it clearly will try it out tomorrow. And .EDI what happens on pure servers? Pure servers require non modified files right? So will it just simply dissconnect or will it download originals?

[polka]

i assume there wont be a fps boost, as its still post processing stuff?

Sv_pure forces game to use default content from pak files.

Does it increase fps?

Also should we /delete thread? D:

I hope they eventually give in to the communitys pressure... if you want the game to look like another cod or bf and have all the visual noise fine (could even add some random flying stuff), but give us the option to make it look like CS, nice and neat.

They probably will end up fing this up.
If they removed a simple technique to remove a harmless vignette, I'm sure another way to have your game look colorful will get patched. Oh, and on the topic of vignette, I think I have a way to get that vignette disabled. I'll post it sometime soon if it works, or should I o_o

Oh man, i would give anything to remove vignette permanently from my CS:GO.
I will try this later.
