Color improvements in CSPromod
By: Pus
Time: 2012-07-04 19:21
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

The CSPromod team have posted a batch of images of their work on color correction and contrast improvements.

In a thread on the CSPromod forums, developer "incubus" is showing off some of the work he has done on color correction and contrast improvements for maps.

For anyone interested, and anyone able to understand the technicalities involved in the work the developer has done, he explains how it is done like this:

"The current effect is based on a full-screen color transformation technique which is done using a color table generated through photoshop (or any other image editing program) and applying the transform through shaders."

He notes that he was able to achieve more contrast, better colors, better shadows and better skies, but also that it makes things slightly darker in some places to increase contrast.

The guys behind CSPromod have furthermore informed us that the graphical changes will be optional, which basically means you can turn it on and off as you please.

The csp_dust2 images can be disregarded, but we added them so that you would get to see them anyway. The team is working on brand new textures for said map, so it will be changed.

Moreover, the color correction and contrast improvements will not be available in the upcoming 1.09 release. It is more likely it will be an option in the 1.10 version.

Below are the before-and-after pictures, with the left sides of the images being the before part. Do you like the improvements, or could you go without? Tell us in the comment section.

better than cs:go!
2012-07-04 19:23:37
yeah, you can bet it!
2012-07-04 19:24:25
now it's nice , told you before !
no pictures = no nice :) !
2012-07-04 21:42:19
cs go dont even released yet ... let both game release then u can say whats better
2012-07-04 19:25:55
dude, beta version can say a lot about final game. for me csp is better, and this is imo. of course my opinion is only one side, because i playing 1.6 a lot :P
2012-07-04 19:37:01
but both game in developing, and csp need alot fix .. but i got nothing against csp .. just saying let's wait to release
2012-07-04 19:41:00
Actually CSP is in A MUCH BETTER SHAPE COMPARED TO CS:GO.

though cs:go is still a beta, it has generally too many flaws which cannot be fixed by simple updates.. Promod seems alot more like it has been developed with esport in mind...
2012-07-04 23:28:56
csp yes have better chance in esport but they have small community hope its get bigger after release
2012-07-04 23:34:01
Both games are in beta, and go is closer to release.
I don't see how this is an unfair statement then?
2012-07-04 20:43:50
go is updating every week .. and i sure half of ppl who saying cs go sux they dont even play it ...
2012-07-04 20:47:33
so may be for them to be more easily given as feedback, they have to put an OPEN beta , because now the keys r pretty limited to a few "people" so how you want more people to play it? :")
2012-07-04 22:16:10
yeah... that true about the keys ... if they open beta they got more chance get game better by lessing community...
2012-07-04 22:26:31
They ARE making it an open beta late-July or early-August though.
2012-07-05 14:37:42
Go CSP! I'm counting on you.

For all CSP doubters, to ease it up by little you just look at it like this: Counter-Strike Promod is 1.6 "lost son" (CS 1.7) that didnt ever see the daylight until now. Ready to embrace the true heritage of CS-feeling, anytime in any engine as a whorty follower.

When 1.6 with best top-players probably had its last show at any larger ESport-event by end of this year, 2012. Counter-Strike 1.7 or CSPromod (whatever you choose calling it) will be out of its BETA-stage and ready to rockNroll in e-Sports eternity.

The nearest thing to an ultimate CS we always whanted and whant to know, made by community - for the community.

Gaming Iz Believing !!!
2012-07-05 04:33:34

2012-07-04 21:03:57
Sponsors give money, money makes tournaments
Riot gives money, money makes tournaments
Riot job can replace sponsors job.
2012-07-04 22:04:05
1) New players want better graphics
2) Spectators want to see new players
3) Majority of spectators want games with good graphics
4) Sponsors want spectators
5) Hence, because of No 3, sponsors want game with good graphics
6) Players buy new game (money to developers)
7) New game requires more hardware
8) Spectators/players buy more stuff (money to sponsors)
9) Sponsors invest more money in tournaments (money to players)
10) More new players come and spectators

And so on...

Correct me if I am wrong :)
Basically money must go to all 3 parties

you need ppl to buy new pc's to play the game...for 1.6 you can ask someone to give you a pc for free, it will still work. so sponsors dont really love cs i guess
2012-07-04 22:27:35
yea it looks like source but the gameplay = 1.6 recoil movement etc :)
2012-07-04 19:44:28
maybe because its source engine? lolol

you can download it without css nor tf2, just download that 80 mb and extract in steam folder, you will find it in steam library and download and it.

Graphics from CS:S maps from 1.6.
It will be 1.6 in new graphics.

You can change weapon models in options:)
2012-07-04 19:48:48
to 1.6?
2012-07-04 22:29:05

CSP looks very nice, but they need to promove it better, otherwise tournaments wont take it in unless the community is really supporting it, and in that case its only IEM as far as we know.
2012-07-04 19:51:45
Actually we're the one who have to promote it. As we play it more and more it should've gain interest of event organizers.

In the end, the fans are the one to choose if they want this to be big or to be nothing.
2012-07-04 20:51:28
hell yeah!


edit:

My thoughts:

The new one is way better. The current visual are too grey and boring. CS 1.6 is full of colors and I miss them in CSP. Especially in inferno (the csp inferno make me feel sad...almost cutting myself while playing csp_inferno).

But most important: Don't make it optional! If something is optional, people will always choice the one which bring them some advantage in gameplay. Everyone should see the same thing. This kind of equality is very important for a competitive game.

I would even think about a very small HDR-effect.

u right,it seems too simple,graphic is so clean..its better than cs:go and source but need more chance....i'm scared to see guns in this version AK47 and other gun...if they like in cs:go and source it's been fail...cs 1.6 have best model of weapon,they're not too bigg,shortened or chubby!!! like in cs:go and source
2012-07-04 22:07:01
at csp you have the choice for the weapons to look like 1.6 with improved graphics or like source
2012-07-05 02:23:54
aha..thats ok, i didn't know that,cool:)
2012-07-05 11:14:41
its a really really good game download it and play it it free and you dont have to buy css :) just download TeamFortress2 from steam which is also free just to get the HL2 engine files and then install csp and play it!!! it is worth it :)
2012-07-05 15:20:15

cs:promod has been here on hltv.org much before cs:go was even heard of, stop being stupid.
2012-07-05 00:04:44
How is that relevant?
Also there's a CS:GO subsection on the forums, ergo CS:GO has a place here
2012-07-05 01:21:37
please read #50 and after that read 182, maybe that would save us some time.

Come on guys, this game is the closest we'll have for the next years to cs 1.6, if Valve is prettending to end with cs 1.6 I think this is the best option to move out, I didn't play CS:GO but the movements are so cs:s so I don't like it.

edit: It's like you compare:

HoN similar to DotA
LoL not even closer to DotA ( Noob Game )

Yeah, 1.6 wasnt their idea, and becomes the best game ever. I think that bugs them a little. :D
2012-07-05 13:16:02

What are they gonna do about it?
2012-07-04 20:58:39
make csgo better ...all they need to do is make the recoil and movement the same as 1.6 (wich they are pretty close to)...people will play csgo since its polished and has the support of a major company that can hotfix stuff .

also after 13 years i believe people are bored of the exact same maps ..csgo adds some variety , also tactically with molotovs and decoys.
2012-07-04 21:28:19
What variety in terms of maps? There's not even 1 new bomb-defuse map. Those crappy "one-bombspot-maps" are fucking boring and imported from L4D. Also they screwed up classic maps like train, nuke and inferno.
Don't tell me the CSP maps would be too close to the maps from 1.6 cause the CS:GO maps are just revamped CSS maps.
In fact: By bringing in season and lite as official maps CSP got more "variety" when it comes to maps than CS:GO.

ps: I still hope Brute will make some official CSP-versions of tuscan, forge and russka. Plus an official csp_mirage. A lot of people still don't know about these maps.


2012-07-04 21:39:50
Valve, release your shit stuff on Xbox and Playstation and release Promod on PC instead.
2012-07-04 20:36:59

2012-07-04 21:39:43
CSP never replace CS 1.6!
2012-07-04 20:37:53
well stop playing fps then and play 1.6 alone, because this game is gonna die anyway, wel will all remember 1.6 as the best fps of all time, but the amount of players is decreasing day after day.

2012-07-04 20:44:57
It have to look good before people want to play it these days. Alot chose Source because of the graphics.
2012-07-04 21:00:05
u right...now a days ppl r retard...all graphics and shit...the don't appreciate the gameplay and most of them of them don't play CS 1.6 cuz it is a game who requieres true skill
2012-07-04 21:33:04
Yeah, sad but true.
Thats the reason why CS1.6 is slowly fading out, the younger gamers are looking for graphic.
2012-07-04 22:18:10
Not just graphics, but a really steep learning curve too. Kids want to "own" in 2 weeks, not 5 years.

And they want to be able to brag about it on YT and FB...

2012-07-04 20:39:17
i think i am getting envolved by this game , amazing , this can be the future of 1.6 , and it look so much professional game than 1.6 ... this gqame i can call it evolution
2012-07-04 20:39:09

2012-07-04 20:47:58
who gives a shit
2012-07-04 20:48:04
Personally, I liked these color changes. Guys are doing great job!
2012-07-04 20:48:46
Being a (hobbyist) level designer for the last 10 years in both GoldSrc and Source engines my opinion is that this is crap. It seems like they used a sharpen filter on the textures (which introduced lots of artifacts and made the more noisy), increased the contrast and saturation (poorly done as well, theres too much saturation, it should more subtle), and did an HDR pass but with too much bloom which causes those really bright light reflections/bounces as can be seen on the dust2 pics.
The problem is that overall the lights on the maps suck, they don't seem to really know how to properly lit a map, the ambient light has a bad color an is not casting enough shadows due too the angle that it's at, and there's not enough fog which would help the light blend better with the geometry.
You can look for example at the HL2 mod Mission Improbable to see how the lights could be made http://www.moddb.com/mods/mission-improbable/image..
2012-07-04 20:48:50
I'm not sure if fog is a good idea. The fog in CS:GO and CSS is terrible (that's why these "_se" maps were made for "competitive" gaming). The CSP devs are trying to recreate 1.6's gameplay and bringing in fog would be crucial..

But good input anyway. Maybe you could help them...

2012-07-04 21:06:47
You can always help them!

Just saw your replies now. I did offered my help when the project begun, but they sent my a very harsh and arrogant response basically saying "we don't need no help, get of our lawn", after that I don't really have much sympathy for the people behind this project :)
About the fog, fog can be tweaked! you can add just enough to make the lights and the skybox blend better with the geometry without reducing visibility, and if I remember correctly it may also improve performance when combined with area portals (it's complicated to explain) that make it so that objects hidden by the fog are rendered with less detail or not rendered at all.

If I am not mistaken people that started the project are not exactly (if at all) the same that are working now on it. Maybe you should give those new ones a new chance too ;)

will be awesome to play cs promod in competition like extreme masters ..etc cause there's no big difference between cs 1.6 and csp graphics are just better but the details don't change alot like CS:S , in my opinion (judgin' this screenshots) CS:P is the best to replace cs 1.6 ATM , waiting for full version
2012-07-04 21:06:55
CSP is the best alternative to cs:go, if 1.6 falls I hope CSP will be there to take its place ! I really can't play any FPS game without the 1.6 recoil system, it just disgusts me.
2012-07-04 21:10:10
LOOKS NICE
2012-07-04 21:14:10
n1 :D

would the lights and darkness are equals to 1.6
and tactics that can be developed in the same manner than cs 1.6

gj 'cspromod team' ! :)

Once they get rid of those CSS skins and sounds, the game will get a HUGE boost.

They're working on it. This game will ROCK, i'm sure of that!
2012-07-05 01:19:41
I don't think they should get rid of them, as, afaik ,regarding the skins, they already have a toggle function to please both worlds. It's how it should be from a game that should also try to please the source comm.
2012-07-05 14:45:11
looks terrible compared to cs:go and isnt for the graphics they want a new game for the scene? i would stick to 1.6 instead of csp but cs:go will actually be intresting to see when its realesed. csp looks like a game from 2005/2006.
2012-07-04 21:20:26
Once the game is completely done and flawless, they can port it to ANY engine, let's say the unreleased Unreal Engine 4 as an example. IT IS the future of counter-strike, if it goes well we will have the game we like forever, with the best graphics possible, they just would need a few weeks porting from one engine to another.

THIS is the biggest point on supporting cspromod, and I'm surprised that a swede didn't know that, shame on you.
2012-07-05 00:44:41
He's using fake alias, actually he is brazilian. :F
2012-07-05 03:19:11
seemingly minor change, but actually is a big improvement imo. The previous visuals were way too dull and bland (like CSS, and like CSGO) compared to the brighter, more vibrant colour scheme of 1.6
2012-07-04 21:27:49
this is future cs series, this game must be instead of cs go

Yes it does, try 1.09 when it's out, you'll like it :)

it seems too simple,graphic is so clean..its better than cs:go and source but need more chance....i'm scared to see guns in this version AK47 and other gun...if they like in cs:go and source it's been fail...cs 1.6 have best model of weapon,they're not too bigg,shortened or chubby!!! like in cs:go and source

2012-07-04 22:24:50
and why they are representing that as "improvement" if there are options to customize these settings for brightness and other s... ?
2012-07-04 22:13:34
i prefer to play CSP instead of cs:s and cs:go with bazooka -_-
2012-07-04 22:15:28
Definetly an improvement! I see I bright future with ProMod.
2012-07-04 22:21:12
I'm sorry guys, but why would someone want just a copy of 1.6 with all bugs IMPLEMENTED in it? I have to say that some decisions of the developers are really retardet, like why are they not using the Source-like gravity of grenades? It doesn't afflict the gameplay in any matter. Or why they're making the animations and everythink else so ugly?

I was a fan of CSP when 1.04 came out, they said they'll use the best from CS 1.6 and Source (and I think it is possible), but now I'm very sad about their decisions, making an exact copy with no "evolution".
2012-07-04 22:22:28
why evolving an epic game?
cs source is 'evolved' cs 1.6 but it didnt work out. its hard to predict how ppl are gonna react to changes, and to make a change it takes enourmous amount of time to code it. so implementing something, that they know ppl like is the safest way for them to succeed

2012-07-04 23:31:17
CSP may look likes source but it feels just like 1.6, i love it
2012-07-04 23:32:03
I love it tough, looks much better and is not cluttered like CS:GO. I will definitely go for the CSP.
2012-07-04 23:36:41
Looks great, too much saturation on some of the maps though.
2012-07-04 23:43:26
The maps (some more and some less) aldready had improvements done by CSP devs but each map will be polished even more in depth after the most vital game-mechanics are perfact or at least up to par.

This is at least what ive heard and i dont think my memory fails me on this one.
2012-07-04 23:57:19
I cant find any servers ( and yes I installed the SDK 2007 stuff )

exist any posibility that in the future CSPROMODO could be more "official" than CSGO?.
Cause CSGO is from valve ... cspromod not
2012-07-05 01:37:27
From FAQ:

Will CSPromod ever be available on Steam?

"We will apply for Steamworks so that the game may be available on Steam if we do get a spot. However, once the application is sent, the final decision will be up to Valve."


I hope Valve will be cool about that.

2012-07-05 11:02:01
As I've played it from early beta stages, I must admit, it will be a far better game than CS:GO. And I'd be pretty happy if it would replace the spot of CS 1.6 in major tournaments, as it still has the classic 1.6 feeling with improved graphics.
2012-07-05 09:29:41
why walve cant do NEW VERSION OF CS which will have better grapic and effects

2012-07-05 10:20:42
becouse doing that they will make less money then what they doing with GO.

Stop blaming Valve. They are a company born to make money as any other.

If they are not doing a "CS1.7", its just becouse 1.6 comunity just dont give them the money they can get other ways.

Many games are produced by big companies, yet fail disasterously. I'm not saying CS:GO will, but having "full developer support" doesn't necessarily mean success.
2012-07-05 15:56:42
that's an improvement of colors, that's nice but the general graphic result is much lower than what you have on cs:go :(
when I play for fun I play cs:go but I would play csp for a competition :)
2012-07-05 17:18:19
ever since i've read the quote from that recent interview w/ IEM. "not once have our sponsors complained about graphics" --- pretty much defeats the purpose of cs promod. =\

move on already promod... this has been under development for what? 3? 4 years? obviously it's not a passion, or it wouldda been finished years ago.

let it go.

Better graphics may not attract new sponsors, but new gamers (yeah it's not a BF3, but as a F2P game it looks damn good).

CSP is a "replicate" of a fantastic game with

- better graphics
- fixed bugs
- free to play
- new features
- huge potential for esport
- portable to every new version of the source engine
- active support by its developers


2012-07-05 20:28:39
go and make your own fucking mod!

Sponsores care about amount of players, cs1.6 no longer appeal to new players because it has 13 years old graphics.

CSPromod graphics will appeal to nowadays kids better then cs1.6 does.

We will have more players then Cs1.6 have right now so we have more chances to succed then cs1.6 will have in 2 years after CS:GO goes down due to lack of competitive players and spectators.

Cs1.6 was pure luck and we are trying to replicate LUCK.... ever tried to replicate a thing you did with luck? You'll sure not have the same luck ;)
