World of Tanks

[cunning snow]

Some minor effects like the sniper optic filter, in-game custom grading filters and some menu transparency effects have been disabled for now as they were causing issues.

Place ReShade and the mod in the win64 folder of the game installation directory.

Really excited for this one. How viable do you think it would be to get this uploaded to wgmods (assuming they actually allow reshade+addons), and by extension opening the door for inclusion in modpacks like aslain?
Having 1-click install for Reshade+Reno in WoT would be awesome.

God tier

[cunning snow]

I'm planning on uploading it to wgmods soon and seeing how that goes, and I'm open to having it included in mod packs since it'll reach more users that way. If it doesn't get deleted from wgmods then I think that should be possible

[neon ferry]

awesome

[tidal flame]

@cunning snow dis works online i assume ?

[cunning snow]

Yep

are the green particles normal ?

[cunning snow]

No, but probably related to some graphics settings

I've only been testing at max right now, I need to go through each setting to disable stuff that causes issues

[cunning snow]

This is caused by AA when set to high, max works fine

also enable the sniper lens effect in the settings. I have the shader for it disabled right now but evidently when it's set to off in-game it bugs out still

[tidal flame]

yeah

all values below max fk it up

[tidal flame]

@cunning snow hmu when u fix it

i have someone really eager to try

:)

big wot player

he can't use aa max he loses too much perf

[cunning snow]

Alright, I'll upload a new build within the next few hours

[cunning snow]

@tidal flame this should work

[tidal flame]

issue got worse for him

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1416525217370734702/1426949080721915994/shot_002.jpg?ex=68ed1564&is=68ebc3e4&hm=fe841f240318e67ed6af151415c461b0e80897b224627b2cb88a64f0d4eb897e&

[cunning snow]

can you have him send his graphics settings so I can try to replicate?

oh, does he have a color filter on in-game? that seems to have an issue with AA set to high

I need to disable that shader real fast

[tidal flame]

Asking

all other options maxxed out

it's still antialiasing below max that creates green iscreens

no filters he told me

[cunning snow]

I can't replicate on my end

he can go to the topography mode to test settings

[tidal flame]

He just used max anti aliasing after optimizing

Any plans to do world of warships ?

[cunning snow]

Probably not. I don't play the game and I wouldn't want to make a mod and not properly support it long-term.

[tidal flame]

Mod is dedge since last update apparently

[cunning snow]

Yep, I'm pretty much having to remake the whole mod. Almost all the shaders got changed

[tidal flame]

huh

is that normal ?

did they do a massive graphic change ?

[cunning snow]

Biggest annoyance is how many output shaders there are for the maps and not being able to load into each one in a single player mode to dump them. I have to wait until I get them in random matches

[cunning snow]

Not that I can see, but the shaders all have a different hash now

[tidal flame]

oh god

[cunning snow]

Yeah it sucks

I'm making notes of which maps use which pair of shaders to try to make the process a bit easier to manage, but I'm still at the mercy of which maps I get in queue in regards to how fast I can update the mod

[tidal flame]

good luck

[cunning snow]

Thanks. Hopefully I'll have it updated tonight. I'm only missing two shaders now I believe

[cunning snow]

Updated for 2.0.1

[cunning snow]

Updated the mod, reworked tonemapping stuff. I think this is the build I'll share publicly on wgmods

[cunning snow]

Updated for Frontline mode

[cunning snow]

I've converted the mod from scRGB to HDR10. Some small tonemapping improvements. I just need to figure out how to fix the busted shaders that are disabled for now.

[cunning snow]

updated for Steel Hunter

[cunning snow]

Updated for Holiday Ops 2026 garage

[cunning snow]

I forgot the bloom slider...

[cunning snow]

Version 1.0 build.

I did all I could, but some post process shaders still don't work currently. Other than that it's done, so no point in not posting publicly.

[tight folio]

@cunning snow hey there, wgmods moderator here

this is indeed a weird mod

if it is really only things like saturation etc. then it should be fine from my side but i'd have to ask internally aswell since it is quite a different type of mod.

is there anything the mod could do that would give a significant advantage?

ping me when you reply

[tight folio]

ok i approved it, it is on wgmods now

[cunning snow]

I wouldn't say so, the main thing the mod does is upgrade the tonemapper to preserve highlight detail. The color grading tools have a bit more features than the in-game color filter does, but since the game already has an outline around tanks when aiming at them I think any advantage it could give is minimal. The mod doesn't change the way any game mechanics operate.

Thanks for reaching out, I'm happy to answer any other questions you or the team may have.

[cunning snow]

Version 1.1

Updated for game version 2.1.1, also features improved tonemapping.

I had to remake the whole mod from scratch again, and there were some changes to the pipeline which made finding all the broken shaders a bit more difficult than before. There may still be some that need to be found, so if there are any issues let me know where the image bugs out and what AA you're using, if any in-game color filter was enabled, and if the sniper optic effect option was enabled.

[cunning snow]

Version 1.2

• Updated tonemapping - Returned to luminance display mapping. Switched to max channel tonemapping for LUT sampling.

[brave root]

Heya, is this compatible with 2.2.0.2? dropped the files next to my game.exe but it doesn't look like reshade's loading at all

nevermind, I'm just bad at reading instructions and didn't realize there's two WorldOfTanks.exe's in the game's file structure

Looks good! my garage UI feels a bit dark though

[cunning snow]

Glad you got it working. I haven't touched anything related to the UI but the garage UI specifically has a ton of vignette.

There are some menus in the garage that hardly have vignette at all, like previewing vehicles from the store. Big difference

[brave root]

Yeah it's the vignette

Also noticing this where at a certain angle range the colours get a bit messed up? (sorry for the horrible SDR video, but it does show the switch)

didn't seem to happen in-battle though so it's very minor

[cunning snow]

The video isn't loading on my phone sadly. I'll have to look at it on my laptop when I get a chance. Can you take a ReShade screenshot?

The garage has two separate shaders it switches between based on camera angle, so maybe I made a mistake with one when updating all the shaders

[brave root]

that sounds like the cause

getting screenshots now

it's subtle in screenshots, it seems like some color grading isn't applied equally

Okay made a less subtle preset 😄

[cunning snow]

Damn, ok I'll take a look as soon as I can. I'm just leaving on a trip but I might be able to get some work done on my laptop

Not really sure what could be the cause though, probably some stupid oversight

[brave root]

Considering it only happens in garage it's not too bad at least 🙂

[cunning snow]

Some maps do share the garage shaders though, and behave in the same way where it's a pair of shaders that are alternated between based on camera angle

But I forget how many. There's one pair used for almost all the maps in the game, but they might be a different pair than the garage

[brave root]

I'll keep an eye out and let you know if i find a broken map

[cunning snow]

Sounds good 👍

[cunning snow]

@brave root I got around to testing the issue on my laptop. It seems the game updated recently and one of the garage shaders has a new hash now, so the mod doesn't work at all depending on where the camera is pointing. I'll fix it as soon as I can

thanks for letting me know

[brave root]

thanks for working on it! the game looks so much nicer with the mod it's crazy

[cunning snow]

I'm glad you like it. Also, could you send me a screenshot of your graphics settings whenever you have a chance?

[cunning snow]

Did some testing just now, lighting quality needs to be ultra in order for the mod to work right now. If it's lower then it either partially works or not at all.

that means I've got a bunch more shaders to fix for the mod 🙃

[brave root]

I disabled color adjustment when i installed the mod as well, though it seems like the mod overrides that anyway

[cunning snow]

Yeah, I had to disable the color adjustments stuff and some other things because they completely break if the swap chain is upgraded.

If you set lighting quality to the absolute max the mod will work properly. I was getting the same behavior you were reporting if I set it to max

[brave root]

Thanks, will do!

[tribal lichen]

hi

i was trying this mod out

and it doesn't seem to work for me

i see the mod ui correctly, but the sliders do not seem to affect the game visuals at all

ok i just maxed out the game graphics and it seems to be working fine

[cunning snow]

Yeah, I need to update the mod to include the shaders that are used in lower graphics settings, but it's a massive increase in the amount of work needed to maintain the mod unfortunately

[tribal lichen]

but i was wondering, doesn't wargaming see this as a bannable thing?

[tribal lichen]

oh okay, thanks to letting me know

[cunning snow]

Nah, I've got the mod posted on the official mod hub and a WG admin reached out for details and gave it the green light.

If they for some reason change their mind I'll make an announcement here

[tribal lichen]

could you link it to me? cuz i can't find it

(just to verify)

I mean the game looks fantastic with this

but I would like to not get banned you know 😂

[cunning snow]

lol I understand. I also have a thread for the mod on the WoT discord so WG is very much aware of it and approves of it.

[tribal lichen]

I really appreciate it man, thank you

[cunning snow]

quick question, do you play on NA by any chance?
