z1812 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It seems to me I have read a thread concerning a feature that would allow you to change the saturation to a more "realistic level". As I remember it was not a mod but something BFC was including in the game. I have searched for it but without any luck. Does anyone remember or know anything about it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I think you're referring to war movie mode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Never mind. I just re read. Yes in CMFI alt-m will change the presentation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not more realistic, nor is it intended to be. It's called movie mode for a reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to do with abnormal solar activity affecting the wavelengths of visible light... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I thought it was something to do with the lasting effects of the Great Depression. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah, the normal in-game colors (sans movie mode) are extremely realistic. They just don't look like what we're normally exposed to in this context - war movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altipueri Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I still don't believe the war was in colour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Colour has changed through the ages. In prehistoric times the world was red ochre and charcoal coloured, and only recently we can truly perceive the world in 3D (if wearing special glasses). On a serious note...

dieseltaylor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Really an interesting area. I remember someone becoming aware of infra-red light to the extent of pain from looking at a supermarket scanner. Wjilst looking that up this nugget turned up in a Yahoo answer: Yes although only two cases have been reported as it is extremely rare. Here is an article about it: Tetrachromacy is the ability to see light from four distinct sources. An example of this in the animal kingdom is the zebrafish (Danio rerio), which can see light from the red, green, blue, and ultraviolet sections of the light spectrum. True tetrachromacy in humans is much rarer however – according to Wikipedia only two possible tetrachromats have been identified. Humans are normally trichromats, having three types of cone cells that receive light from either the red, green, or blue part of the light spectrum. Each cone can pick up about 100 graduations of color and the brain combines colors and graduations so that there are about 1 million distinguishable hues coloring your world. A true tetrachromat with an extra type of cone between red and green (in the orange range) would, theoretically, be able to perceive 100 million colors. Like supertasting, tetrachromacy is thought to be much more common in women than men – estimates range from 2 – 3% to 50% of women. Interestingly, colour-blindness in men (much more common than in women) may be inherited from women with tetrachromacy. Other bits found suggest that some people [particularly young] can see into the infra-red particularly provable with infra-red remotes, and older people after cataract operations can see into the ultra-violet end. Assuming there is a basis in fact interesting to cogitate if any of these conditions provides a combat advantage in spotting in RL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Mr. I - The Colour-blind Painter... Just as an aside, about 20 years ago I met an artist who was partially (mostly) color blind. He illustrated children's books and was in fact very good. I asked him how he was able to manage and he didn't really have an explanation.

MikeyD Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Colour has changed through the ages. In the old west everyone apparently wore brown and beige. Funny thing is, the same seems to go for the distant future too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
