[Genhis][2.0.77] Utility constants related to vignettes do nothing

[Shemp]

The following utility constants:

• main_menu_background_vignette_intensity
• main_menu_background_vignette_sharpness
• zoom_to_world_effect_strength

do not appear to do anything and have no effect when changed in Factorio 2.0.

In Factorio 1.1 for example, there is a vignette on the main menu screen and changing it with this code

Code: Select all

data.raw["utility-constants"].default.main_menu_background_vignette_intensity = 10
data.raw["utility-constants"].default.main_menu_background_vignette_sharpness = 1.0

causes the main menu to become significantly darker.

zoom_to_world_effect_strength is likely related to the old Map View vignette seen when zooming in.

I assume the main menu vignette has simply been removed in 2.0, but I didn't spot anything in the changelogs to confirm it.

Do you have menu simulations disabled? From looking at the code - those values are only used when the simulations are shown.

No, they are enabled. I've never seen the vignette appear on 2.0's main menu on any of the simulations.

EDIT: Here's a log, in case it's related to the graphics on my setup.

I did some investigating to see whether this is an issue specific to my setup, and when this might have changed.

Here is a comparison between Factorio 2.0.20 and 2.0.41 (both using the non-expansion install, so there's no expansion_shaders to think about):

I realise the bug is already Assigned, hopefully this may help.

--------------------------------

EDIT: A side-note from me as a player: I've gotten used to having the vignette be absent in current versions, and I find the main menu screen to be less appealing in Factorio 1.1 where it's present.

I think it might be worth having the utility constants function like they used to, but set their defaults such that the vignette doesn't show up in an unmodded configuration, as it behaves now.

Thanks for the report, vignette is fixed for 2.1.20 and zoom_to_world_effect_strength will be removed.
