Setting User.ltx (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky)

Note:
To improve the quality of graphics you can use user.ltx from a clear sky, download it and place it into:
C:/users/public/documents/S. T. A. L. K. E. R. - Call of Pripyat/ - for Win Vista or 7
C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/S. T. A. L. K. E. R. - Call of Pripyat/ - for Win XP
And if the saving is in the game directory, then go to save.

Improved shadows in the distance and solving problems with a round shade:
Open the file user.ltx in Notepad, find and put the following values of parameters:
r2_sun_depth_far_bias -0.00001
r2_sun_depth_far_scale 1.
r2_sun_depth_near_bias 0.00001
r2_sun_depth_near_scale 1.
r2_sun_near 25.

Improvement of detail:
Open the file user.ltx in Notepad, find and put the following values of parameters:
r2_ssa_lod_a 64.
r2_ssa_lod_b 96.

Reducing blur distant objects:
Open the file user.ltx in Notepad, find and put the following values of parameters:
r2_dof_enable on
r2_dof_kernel 2.

To include the effect of adaptation of the eye (Exposure Control - realizes the effect of "fit of view
tion" that allows you to see various degrees of detail in t?mnih scenes compared to
overexposed areas).
Open the file user.ltx in Notepad, find the line r2_tonemap off and adjust e? on r2_tonemap on
Now you can set this option:
r2_tonemap_adaptation 2 - the Speed of adaptation to light
r2_tonemap_amount 1
r2_tonemap_lowlum 0.0001 - Intensity lighting?nasty in dark areas
r2_tonemap_middlegray 1.2 - the main parameter-intensity lighting?nasty
* This effect does not work on static lighting.

DirectX 8

r1_dlights [on, off]
On/off.Off. the light from your flashlight. I do not recommend to turn it off, and the night is too scary.

r1_dlights_clip [10.000 - 150.000]
Perhaps this affects the range of lighting your flashlight.

r1_glows_per_frame [2 - 32]
Sets the number of light sources. Not much effect on the graphics quality and FPS.

r1_lmodel_lerp [0.000 - 0.333]
Controls the amount of linear interpolation of lighting. In short, at higher values of age-
t?t the quality of the graphics of some models, for example, your weapons.

r1_ssa_lod_a [16.000 - of 96,000]
Regulates basal Level of Detail (LOD), the higher the value, the more detail and visibility
objects in the distance, but due to easy drop FPS.

r1_ssa_lod_b [16.000 - 64.000]
Installation is similar to the previous one, but manages to detail some of the features on the map. Again, the higher
the value, the less FPS.

r1_tf_mipbias [-0.500 - 0.500]
Controls h?Dostu textures in the distance. With decreasing values of the texture will be more h?tkie, but for
it will have to pay a slight drop in FPS. Increasing the parameter will make the texture blurry,
but maybe a bit to raise the FPS.
DirectX 9

r2_aa [on, off]
This option includes the so-called pseudoglioma. This is not a real anti-aliasing, but just a little
smears the image on the screen. If you have an LCD monitor, you can get a similar effect for free
putting the screen resolution slightly less than native. When activated, it drops a little FPS. If you include
this option in DX10 mode, it can cause artifacts.

r2_aa_kernel [0.300 - just 0.700]
By controlling the amount of pseudoglioma. The higher the value, the stronger blur. The value of 0.300 Yes?t
a reasonable amount of blur.

r2_aa_break [0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 -1.000000]
This option controls the distance at which the acts pseudoglioma. You can pick up
convenient value, but the increases did not necessarily mean an increase in quality. For example, the value

r2_aa_break 0.000000,1.000000,0.000000, will give h?tkie closed space and blurred outdoor space
tion.

r2_aa_weight [0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000]
This option is needed for more precise control pseudoparalysis effect. Higher values
the stronger the blur.

r2_allow_r1_lights [on, off]
When the option will be partially used DX8 lighting. Like, performance should
on the lifting, but it can be Vice versa...

r2_dof [0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000]
This feature controls the amount of post-filter Depth of Field. But armed forces? better to change the values of the considered-
tion of the options below r2_dof_*.

r2_dof_far [0.000 - 10000.000]
This setting controls the distance at which DoF is enabled. This does not apply to the temporary higher
NIJ DoF (when recharging weapons), and acts constantly. Lowering options with the value 600 by default
increase the blurriness of the picture.

r2_dof_focus [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
The lower this value (by default 1.4), the smaller part of your field of vision will be "in focus-
the Council of Europe". This will be particularly noticeable if you change the values r2_dof_far and r2_dof_near.

r2_dof_kernel [0.000 - 10.000]
This option controls the overall level of DoF. When set to 0, DoF will not be noticeable at all, and higher
numbers increase the level.

r2_dof_near [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
The blur level close to the player objects (e.g. your gun). The default value is
1.25.

r2_dof_sky [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
The level of DoF in relation to the sky. Default is 30, and the higher it is, the more blurred the sky.

r2_gi [on, off]
On/off. more realistic lighting method "Global Illumination" in which light can be reflected with
surfaces and illuminate other surfaces. Enabling this option much, really.t performance.
Option does not work in two modes - "Improved full dynamic lighting".

r2_gi_clip [0.000 - 0.100]
Set the distance of action of Global Illumination.

r2_gi_depth [1 - 5]
Sets the depth of shadows.

Regulates the effect of reflecting surfaces.

r2_gloss_factor [0.000 - 10.000]
The larger the value of this parameter, the stronger are shiny glossy surface.

r2_ls_bloom_fast [on, off]
This option includes an enhanced form of Bloom a, but does not replace HDR Bloom ohms. When enabled, picture Boo
det too bright and blurry, the FPS is almost not affected. You do not need to enable this option to use
to realize other options r2_ls_bloom_*.

r2_ls_bloom_kernel_b [0.010 - 1.000]
Controls the blur level of a Bloom, the higher the value, the stronger illumination from the light sources.

r2_ls_bloom_threshold [0.000 - 1.000]
Adjusts the brightness of the Bloom'a, the larger the value, the less brightness Bloom a, used together with
HDR. As a result, if the value is 1, the picture would be like on the DX8. Can try a value of 0.350 to
bloom was more beautiful.

r2_ls_depth_bias [-0.500 - 0.500]
The regulator of range of kinds of light sources. Low values increase the depth and boundary of the source
increasing the parameter can almost completely remove the light sources. Optimal value for
default.

r2_ls_depth_scale [0.500 - 1.500]
Similar to the previous setting.

r2_ls_squality [0500 - 1.000]
Adjust the quality of shadows.

r2_mblur [0.000 - 1.000]
Regulates lubrication in the movement. Looks great with a value of 0.1, and?m it does not affect FPS.
To activate it, it is not enough to change the setting in the config, you need to run the game with the parameters-
rum –mblur. Open the properties of the game shortcut and in the path to the executable executable add –mblur
using the space bar. Get something like this: "D/Supergames/STALKER/XR_3DA.exe" –mblur. Option does not work in
two modes "Improved full dynamic lighting".

r2_steep_parallax [on, off]
On/off.off.. Parallax Mapping.

r2_parallax_h [0.000 - 0.500]

The distance setting lighting.

r2_ssa_lod_a [16.000 - of 96,000]
Adjusts the Level of Detail (LOD) for the world games, the higher the value, the more detail and VI-
the need of objects in the distance, but due to easy drop FPS.

r2_ssa_lod_b [32.000 - 64.000]
Option is similar to the previous one, but manages detail of objects.

r2_sun [on, off]
On/off. The sun as a light source. If off, trees and houses will not cast shadows. If the option
enabled, you can play with parameters r2_sun_depth_*.
r2_sun_depth_far_bias [-0.500 - 0.500]
r2_sun_depth_far_scale [0.500 - 1.500]
r2_sun_depth_near_bias [-0.500 - 0.500]
r2_sun_depth_near_scale [0.500 - 1.500]
These parameters control r2_sun if it's enabled. Is the management level of detail of shadows and faces
Tsey sunlight and shadow areas. The optimum values by default.

r2_sun_near [1.000 - 50.000]
Monitors the quality of sunlight at close to the player surfaces.
