Arknights + AK Endfield

[woeful raven]

need some clicks

[fleet hatch]

click click

[sudden nest]

done

[woeful raven]

I slopped out an arknights addon for those playing the original game on PC with mumuplayer

Arknights (not endfield) RenoDX mod for use with MuMu Player

Arknights HDR mod

To install

• put ReShade (Add-on) compatible and the HDR addon in (C:\Program Files\MuMuVMMVbox\Hypervisor)
• you need to change settings via reshade.ini, cannot use reshade menu with kb or mouse

[grizzled herald]

Clicked.

I thought preregister was opened already is this new? Maybe I just registered for the beta.

[woeful raven]

this is new

event to roll for wep

[dusky wave]

So babes

the game is laucnhing with VK?

and that will have DLSS, FG and RT?

@woeful raven Will you want to pot arknights here then?

I'll change the title

to both games

Arknights + AK Endfield

[woeful raven]

Arknights endfields probably the main thing

arknights is like that side piece no one wants to touch

[dusky wave]

I added both

its fine

Doulbe ARK

[woeful raven]

@dusky wave I just realized there's a reason why most people are gonna stick with DX11 for this game

gooner skin mods

[dusky wave]

3dmigoto remains undefeated

[woeful raven]

yeah if they implement RT i'll move it to RT only but for now I think DX11 is gonna get the most users

unless vulkan performs like

100% better

we can have it within voosh's generic unity mod while still having any talk about the game here to not bloat up the chat too much

[strong vault]

Unity RT

Now that I think about it I didnt play anything with Unity RT

[woeful raven]

zenless has RT

[strong vault]

Was it on console only?

[woeful raven]

no

it's on PC now

but hidden

[strong vault]

Huh

[woeful raven]

you need the dx12 backend bud

[strong vault]

That tempted me to try zzz ngl

[woeful raven]

don't

I uninstalled the game after finishing patching DX12

[strong vault]

💀

[stable lava]

rt is compared to goon mods

[woeful raven]

it's kind of not needed in this game

in ZZZ all the time of days are defined

so the raster GI that they baked in is actually okay

[dusky wave]

Den of Wolves

Have some special sauce working alongside unity

early gameplay looked abysmal but I think they had settings set to low or not finalised

recent gameplay had some eye candy lighting and visuals similar to byberpunk

so we'll see

[sudden nest]

@serene bridge

[sudden nest]

RT was only mentioned for iOS

Are you hearing this

[sudden nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz2g_D52NR0

[stable lava]

why even live if no rt on my gachaslopper

[serene bridge]

Nice things I mentioned in the surveys are getting fixed. LVL 99 was cool though, they could have lowered the materials to get there. I wonder if that means characters will be weaker

[dusky wave]

abysmal

why does mobile shit get RT

how can phones even run RT

[stable lava]

iOS >>>>> PC

iPhone 58 ProMaxxedSlop > 5090

https://tenor.com/view/joker-arthur-joaquin-phoenix-you-get-what-you-fucking-deserve-gif-15915948

[sudden nest]

kill all iOS users

[sudden nest]

the obvious thing would be to scale it back to 90

[glacial kayak]

I seriously doubt they just removed 9 levels of stats lol

[serene bridge]

No changes to the gacha guarantee system sucks

[serene bridge]

at the end of the day the most important thing is how much pull income we're getting per patch, and that was dogshit in the cbt. They are buffing the chests a bit for release but it's still barely anything

135 pulls sounds close to what we got in the cbt

[woeful raven]

Theyre also adding extra pull currency

So it actuslly does improve the pull income on the same system

But i went on reddit and people are bitching about the extra pull income being predatory

Classic reddit

[serene bridge]

people will always bitch about that for a gacha game

kinda misleading infographic they have there, they're combining standard banner and limited banner, and banner specific pull tickets all in one

[woeful raven]

https://youtu.be/tN80M6IEMo0

[woeful raven]

they added both 120fps, DLSS and FG

but yea no RT is lmao

must be dx11 cucked

[serene bridge]

use reshade rtgi copium option

dunno why they still limit to 120, but hopefully reflex override still works to get fully unlocked fps

[woeful raven]

since when did you cameo in this game @dusky wave

[dusky wave]

[dusky wave]

This is under VK?

[woeful raven]

didnt mention

they just stated that those were added

[strong vault]

I hope 120 limit for base fps not with fg

[dusky wave]

Well FG will have to be under VK, since DX11 can't into FG

Unless they're doing DX11 + low level API proxy cope

[dusky wave]

Non FG framerste capped at 60

That would be hilarious

[woeful raven]

nah they showed the menu

its 120

[woeful raven]

what if

cue the meme

DX12

[dusky wave]

If the game uses DX12 then even better

We can just slop out uberposts

And be done

[woeful raven]

oh yeah if its between DX11 and vk

then DX11 has gooner skin mods

but no fg

[stable lava]

predownload is up

only dx11/vk available in the launcher

[stable lava]

both dx11 and vk are capped to 120
but yeah no fg on dx11
(can boot into main menu now)

[serene bridge]

frameslop available only with vulkan but still capped to 120 so basically useless, doesn't seem like reflex overrides works for fully uncapped fps anymore

[stable lava]

can't fg get you to 240+? i thought that's how the cap worked in the beta

[serene bridge]

had fully unlocked fps without framegen in the beta

[stable lava]

hm

oh well, 120 is plenty

[serene bridge]

@woeful raven menu looks good

[woeful raven]

no

frameslop probably makes it 240

basically enough

implementation shouldn't be enabled in menus

so you would still see 120 probably

[woeful raven]

im likely just gonna patch vulkan

to get frameslop

oh wait

@dusky wave does reno work with vulkan

or are we completely cooked

they even implemented the multiplier for mfg

[woeful raven]

what are you using to inject

they've implemented AC now

d3d11 and dxgi is blacklisted

[serene bridge]

good ol inject64

d3d11 and dxgi didn't work for me in the beta either

[woeful raven]

also hate to break it to you but all the shaders changed

ehe

the only thing that you see on the draw list there

was the blit

and I did not do anything to that

oh yeah, I did that add that in for easier dumping

remembe what i told u

the uber is usually right before the blit

[serene bridge]

oh welp lets see if I still remember what I did 😂

when I uninstalled the beta it nuked the folder completely

[woeful raven]

Welp

If we do VK we can't even do FG

So might as well patch it with DX11

[serene bridge]

can live without FG at least until they add RT

[woeful raven]

On the other hand if they add RT theres no way they add it in DX11

So maybe VK

Xdd

[woeful raven]

on another note

i might give up making the HDR mod for vulkan

and just stick to dx11

@dusky wave its your time

[dusky wave]

Bruh I just remembered

No FG under VK

Because Reshade doesn't support it

Grim

This is why VK is shit and shouldn't be used

@woeful raven VK version is pointless for now

[stable lava]

crosire shall fix for 6.8 trust

[woeful raven]

might as well cause if they add RT its gonna be VK only

[dusky wave]

Tru

wait how are we in-game? Isnt it out until 22?

We'll also have FG flicker

since SDR path + upgrades

Fun times

[woeful raven]

pre load is available

I'm monkeying at the UI as usual

[dusky wave]

ah

UI gameplay

Only goes up to AF x8

I HATE MOBILESHIT

[stable lava]

default is 1x

that's even worse

[twin haven]

im eating good, Whenfield is now gone

[twin haven]

sadly until there's a fix on that + OptiScaler FG currently stuck with Lossless 😂

[stable lava]

lsfg 🚮

[dusky wave]

We're coping that Trasnformer v2 FG fixes

[woeful raven]

#1454963368870809786 message

well, got it working

but without proxy shader you'll need to use an extra reshade fx

so im just gonna patch dx11 for now

[frosty current]

How the hell does og arknights have hdr mod support

[dusky wave]

Spiwar got it working via MuMu Player

so via emu

[frosty current]

But its like a 2d game, that's what confusing me lmao

I play on Google play emulator would that work?

[stable lava]

the tower defense sections are not 2d

[dusky wave]

2d games can still have lighting

We have mods for Hades, Hollowknight ect

Whilst the game assets are 2d, the games still do lighting and other post processing and those get clamp to SDR same as any other game

the tower defense is 3d

and all those particles are getting clamped to SDR

lighting in the map itself also gets clamped to SDR

[frosty current]

image isnt loading

[glacial kayak]

Try opening in your browser

Usually hdr PNGs won’t load if you have hardware acceleration off in discord

[frosty current]

i see it, damn thats really funny

[woeful raven]

its so peak

seeing VFX in hdr

[woeful raven]

[woeful raven]

https://youtu.be/RnTFpciyUFI

[woeful raven]

@dusky wave just found this funny bit

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lies-liar-bullshit-so-that-was-gif-15334130

[strong vault]

Ios supremacy

[woeful raven]

@dusky wave i went through the effort to properly patch the game's lutbuilder

only to realize

they dont rebuild the lutbuilder in real time

grading settings dont apply

[dusky wave]

[woeful raven]

Endfield RenoDX Day0 Addon (DX11) only

• includes all uberposts in shader precompilation

[woeful raven]

then I realized

the lutbuilder... actually does nothing

all that code and literally nothing happens

if you sample untonemapped + that thing after going through the lutbuilder sampling code

the image is exactly the same

[dusky wave]

Just don't do LUTbuilders

Imma be real

I don't know what the difference is between doing LUTbuilder and just doing regular shader

[woeful raven]

I tried to do it just to see if I could

all roads lead back to tonemapass

(at least for this game)

[dusky wave]

I was about to work on Division 1 mod

But Ubislop connect keeps forgetting my log in

And I CBA to log in

Anyways, time to prep for the drop tomo

I got my free 5 star blade from the daily game thing

[sudden nest]

we get in in a future update trust

[dusky wave]

Well they did say final versions

tomo we're only getting the open beta

full release will be in 3 years from now

[stable lava]

imagine ios also gets hdr while pc is stuck with ssr and sdr

[dusky wave]

Tim Cook monie too good it seems

[signal magnet]

Thx for the mod guys. Im curious which setting you would recommend, vulkan or dx11?

[dusky wave]

We dont have an addon for VK yet

VK might have better overall perf and also has access to FG (in the future it will be the only API to support RT also)

[signal magnet]

Cool ty. No FG in dx11 then? Strange there's no dx12 no?

[stable lava]

dlssfg doesn't have a dx11 path

i think none of the fg solutions do actually

either vulkan or dx12

[signal magnet]

I see. Never tried vulkan before but I do like RT. But I like renodx too, im conflicted haha

But RT is a future update?

[stable lava]

if apple ever lets go of the exclusivity

[signal magnet]

Its apple, so not likely ig

[dusky wave]

FG used to be possilbe using older steamline files on DX11

but Nvidia removed it

From what Maple explained to me

and Nukem

FG requires a low level API for frame pacing

You can get FG working on DX11 via a low level API proxy

but that comes with its own shenanigans

[serene bridge]

https://youtu.be/SWLsEsTay_8?si=Ud5HTk0Z2ylD1RPD

Just give me my unlocked fps

Could already do 200 fps no FG

[dusky wave]

The WaitTM is nearly over

tomo we can finally play

@woeful raven babes you ready?

hopefully no new shenanigans

You can clean up the addon later, hardcode upgrades and remove the sliders

Do we need hue correction? Otherwise you can remove that also

What I tend to do is take the swapchain gamma correction under Display Output and rename that to UI gamma correction

If you know there wont be any other shaders after tonemapass except for UI its an easy gamma correction you can apply exlusively to UI without having to do more

[stable lava]

or rt

or both

[dusky wave]

Also setup autobuild so we can post the addon on github

[worthy phoenix]

Somebody should make a day 0 fps unlocker for this game

[dusky wave]

Day 1 PT mod

[woeful raven]

Already did

I'll need to be in game first to implement video autohdr

[dusky wave]

fuk autohdr vid

looks like slop

[woeful raven]

Yes autohdr vid

[dusky wave]

[woeful raven]

xdd

[dusky wave]

You should extract the vid files

and manually grade the HDR

[woeful raven]

Risk a ban

[fleet hatch]

im surprised gacha devs don’t provide an option for higher quality video downloads

[dusky wave]

You see

if everything was in-game, we wouldnt need videos

but mobileslop cant handle it

but for some reason IOS gets RT

[stable lava]

[dusky wave]

Did they mention what RT is?

Reflections only?

RTGI?

Current raster looks flat so I want to copeTM that we get RTGI on PC

and since this isnt UE4 backported Lumen shenanigans

[stable lava]

ios only
only reflections (still a improvement over ssr)
not all scenes

ultraslop

[unkempt pulsar]

no RT option on my M4 iPad

too low end i guess

[stable lava]

you need iphone 37 ultra pro max premium++

[unkempt pulsar]

this thing has more power than any iphone out right now

then again SO DOES MY DESKTOP GPU

[stable lava]

im sure "certain scenes only" will only refer to super closed environments
mobile gpus can't cope with open-world bvh

means all bodies of water are still ssr

[dusky wave]

Super closed env + SSR tracing on top

https://tenor.com/view/mexican-laugh-laugh-laughing-laughing-hysterically-laughing-crying-gif-14871471

[woeful raven]

cause its just sdr

HDR looks good

the art is gonna carry us

until RT patch

trust

[dusky wave]

guys

I am scared to say

Whats an Arknight????

Why is the Ark a Knight

And why is the field ending?

[woeful raven]

https://youtu.be/8Dqg0k0vbAQ

[stable lava]

ark is also surviving evolved/ascended, a raider

truly a multi-gamer

[grizzled herald]

I was calling it "Enfield" until today that I realized it's Endfield.

[woeful raven]

Q: What's behind the name of the game, "Arknights"? How did your team choose it?

A: The name "Arknights" can be traced back to the idea of "Archknights". But we removed the "ch" part so that it sounds like a combination of "ark" and "knights". It's easier to choose an English name for the game since it's pretty straightforward. When it comes to the Chinese name, as Chinese itself can be interpreted in different ways, it is hard to think of a proper name. But I guess that's also an interesting perspective of Chinese text. It was very lucky of us to find the perfect Chinese name for the game.

The Chinese translation is Tomorrow's Ark.

Terra is a disaster

Rhodes Island is a massive walking city or Ark searching for the cure to oripathy, for a greater tomorrow.

Basically you're the savior of the world

[dusky wave]

This in HDR

PBR/NPR grafix are kino

It just blends like a smoothie

unlike UE5 slop

with its dogshit 1760s Lambertian BRDF

[dusky wave]

@woeful raven I watched through the trailers and companion vids

bro what is this music

[woeful raven]

it's the art team

imagine the same art team

but on path tracing UEslop

instead of unityslop

[dusky wave]

That jade area

with the glowing trees

I just know it will POP in HDR

[glacial kayak]

i don't know what to expect for endfield long term, but just you wait till you meet the hg sound team buddy

[dusky wave]

so you're saying

Arknights has kino OST?

[grizzled herald]

Did not read you guys much, but... Will your mod be working for release? Being Unity and a gacha and all that...

[glacial kayak]

can't fully test since no one can get in-game, but good chances

[dusky wave]

Spiwar has been uberposting

Maybe the actual release has more shaders

or newer areas will be clamped

cant say for certain

if the actual uber hashes hasnt changed then at the very least a decent chunk of the game will be Reno ready

Addon is DX11 only atm

Until Ritsu does some things so RenoVK works for us

[woeful raven]

HE DOESN'T KNOW

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-the-agents-know-dont-gif-18536773

arknights/hypergryph is the name/company that started the

"x is a music company making game to shill their music"

meme

[dusky wave]

well den

[woeful raven]

all the ubers changed

but I patched like

21~ ubers

that spawned during the shader precomp

so we probably gucci

[dusky wave]

and for all 21

[glacial kayak]

https://youtu.be/E44IRAYFadw HIT HARD

[dusky wave]

^

[woeful raven]

I simplified it even further

[dusky wave]

This shit too easy

[woeful raven]

you don't need complicated/bespoke stuff

because the lutbuilder literally isn't doing anything

[dusky wave]

Are they clamping in the shaders though

or is it just resources

[dusky wave]

we are truly blessed

imagine you started workin on hdr

but they did grading at the start

so everything break with NaNs

like ubislop shit

[woeful raven]

has amazing art and graphics and material while doing literally nothing grading wise

"how did they do this"

[woeful raven]

there is one shader that seemed to sample another texture after color grading

I wasn't sure if that was a lut because I can't see the resource size being used

so it's the only one I used tonemapass(untonemapped, graded) with

otherwise it's just tonemappass(graded) for the others

[dusky wave]

Any sharpening outside of the menu one?

forced material shenanigans

[woeful raven]

i dont think so

[dusky wave]

[woeful raven]

keep is so clean

[dusky wave]

NO GIGASHARPNESSMAXXING

[woeful raven]

so simple

while looking so good

[dusky wave]

[woeful raven]

what is their secret

[dusky wave]

unbelievable

what about post prcoessing

vignette

CA

[stable lava]

devs not lazy of course

[woeful raven]

yeah

still has the basic post process stuff

but you dont need to touch that because that's all before lut sampling so i kept that intact

[dusky wave]

Just add in a slider later to control allat

including bloom

so we have no raised black floor LUT shenanigans?

[woeful raven]

I don't think so but the game comes out in 6 hours ( or earlier if it opens early)

the lut does nothing in the main menu

but it might be different once we get in game

[dusky wave]

Unbelievable

Truly

[woeful raven]

dude

[dusky wave]

No Per Channel shittery

[woeful raven]

none of the shaders during beta

or in the precomp now

even do a saturate call at the end

[dusky wave]

So the only thing the game is missing is HDR compat resources and being in linear from the get go

[woeful raven]

they make our job so easy

[dusky wave]

otherwise this game would be text book example of HDR linear COD workflow

and that makes HDR output piss easy

unlike every other dev constantly complaining about muh HDR is hard becasue muh no standards

[woeful raven]

well

would be really funny if once we're in game

all the assumptions are wrong

[dusky wave]

Custom shit in

everythigns broken

saturate on everything

[woeful raven]

hard to believe 21 ubers in the precomp are not representative though

[dusky wave]

betrayal

[woeful raven]

the test folder are the new ubers

the precomp had more ubers than kotorin manually dumping the ubers from the game

game has not even launched yet and they already helping us every step of the way

• lutbuilder does no tonemap, no clamping, no custom shit (likely doesn't even do anything)
• uber doesn't even do saturate at the end
• no random additional lut sampling
• gives us all uber in precomp

[stable lava]

because they are releasing official hdr +rt next patch

[woeful raven]

now if only renoVK worked with FG

[woeful raven]

"what should we do for official hdr implementation"
"what is the industry using"
-> implement aces hdr for native hdr

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-dead-died-gif-13827091

[stable lava]

[dusky wave]

better ending - they atleast use ACES 2.0

[twin haven]

does the game has sharpness filter? WuWa has it from filter in-gameband it helps with DLSS

[twin haven]

TRUE HDR!

[woeful raven]

the filter in game is just dlss/upscaler sharpening

as in it calls whatever method the upscaler has

[woeful raven]

@serene bridge did you say you use SK to inject?

[serene bridge]

nah that wasn't me, pretty sure sk doesn't work

[woeful raven]

Endfield RenoDX Day0 Addon (DX11) only

• includes all uberposts in shader precompilation
• Added RCAS

Couldn't inject optiscaler to get RCAS

so just added RCAS to the blit shader

cheers

To-do (maybe):

• video AutoHDR
• Remove UID

[twin haven]

i never even thought of removing uid, is there any game that does that?

[woeful raven]

Wuwa already removes your UID

Did you not notice bud

ITS OUT

OH MY GOD

they did not include all the ubers

xd

[glacial kayak]

we can play?

[woeful raven]

THE END FIELD IS REAL

[glacial kayak]

o shit

my game is just crashing on launch now

[woeful raven]

looks like the precomp got the shaders in the TAAU path

but not the dlss path

amazing

[dusky wave]

Yep

It's clamped

[woeful raven]

okay so this wasn't easy after all

the lutbuilder is doing something after all

untonemapped / after applying lutbuilder

[grim kiln]

wait is this game on the unity engine xD why tho

[dusky wave]

Custom special sauce unity

It's about as much 'Unity' as Batman AK is 'UE3'

[grim kiln]

interesting

[woeful raven]

why is why

[grim kiln]

so its just dx11 with the checkbox or vulkan? thats a bold choice

[woeful raven]

a game acn use whatever engine it wants

[twin haven]

wirh renodx?bi still notice it or am i missing a setting?

[woeful raven]

@raven fable if we lose all HDR values after lut sampling then it means the lutbuilder needs fixing right

[woeful raven]

hotfix please update

[dusky wave]

I NEED RT IN THIS GAME

[median robin]

ayo unclamped

thx spiwar

[serene bridge]

Still clamped with dlss enabled and CA disabled. TAAU is fine.

[dusky wave]

CA off spawns a new uber

DLSS with CA works

[median robin]

not clamped with dlss on my end, but disabling CA does clamp it yes

[dusky wave]

Just use CA On Uber and add a slider in reno menu for controls

@woeful raven

[woeful raven]

dump shader

i aint doing that

[dusky wave]

I'll help out with UI and such

Lemme open up VS code

Let's duo this

Log?

Ahh

Follow the instructions on pin

Dxgi gets blocked by the game

So we're using inject64

[woeful raven]

inject64

instructions in ping

[dusky wave]

Spiwar how you want to do it?

I can look at UI since it's clamp atm

And you focus on game scenes

Two monkie brains go faster together

[woeful raven]

I need to post commit whatever i have first

also

is it me

or is the DoF effect not scaled correctly

it looks like its 1080p DoF applied to 4k

@dusky wave
https://github.com/spiwar/renodx/tree/endfield

[dusky wave]

Ok

Time to get to it

So we need to mess with LUTbuilders this time?

[woeful raven]

no

i've bypassed it for now

until i figure out what to do with it

maybe you can figure that out

adjusting the rest of the shader to work if we fix the lutbuilder is easy

[dusky wave]

I'll check because I noticed two things atm

it sort of doesnt match SDR

black levels are raised

and this might jsut be the game

but I found fire barrel thing

thats just a brick wall of highlights

[serene bridge]

should be this for the CA

[dusky wave]

Dunno what the problem with this fire barrel

[woeful raven]

damn the autohdr video looks good

but the banding is kinda ass

[dusky wave]

slap on filmgrain and call it a day

[woeful raven]

okay wtf TRUE

does reno have filmgrain built in

i remember shortfuse doing something with it

[dusky wave]

bruh

he doesnt know

yes

piss easy to add also

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/addon.cpp-things

scroll down to the very bottom

Thats Shortfuse grain

For the vids, you can just hardcode a fixed grain value instead of it being adjustable by slider

Then for each uber you just add

float3 grained_color = renodx::effects::ApplyFilmGrain(
linearColor.rgb,
TEXCOORD.xy,
CUSTOM_RANDOM,
CUSTOM_GRAIN_STRENGTH * 0.03f);

[woeful raven]

can you check

if your hue shift/hue processor/hue correction

is applying right now

its not applying for me

[dusky wave]

Not seeing any differences

nor between luminance / per channel

looks the same

[woeful raven]

well thats weird

that's something we could look into probably

[serene bridge]

couple more clamping shaders, same stuff as in the beta

[woeful raven]

are you sure you have the correct one

remember it will freeze the image

[serene bridge]

yeah freezes the screen

[woeful raven]

though it appears like

not immediately before the blit

but 2-3 before

043 was the one

[serene bridge]

yeah looks about right

[woeful raven]

havent seen those before though are you playing with CA off

if you're playing with CA off you might need to dump your own set of shaders probably if it spawns a diff uber with CA off for every thing

[serene bridge]

nah this is CA on, otherwise I can't tell whats clamping

[woeful raven]

oh wait

this is cool

[fleet hatch]

try bt709 clamp after autohdr

hdr_video = max(0, hdr_video);

[woeful raven]

the CA off general shader

is the same shader if you had CA on but use a combo attack

I guess it turns CA off in that moment

[serene bridge]

I played the whole beta with CA off so we never had any issues with that back then 😂

found a backup of my beta notes thanks to notepad++, some of these need to progress more to get

- Valley IV Region 0xB5A09122.ps_5_0
- Valley IV Power plateau environment blight
- Endministrator skill (shared with Laevatain basic attack 4, Triaggelos boss) 0xD83A460C.ps_5_0
- Character Trial Arena (skills need to be redumped here) 0xAFA090D8.ps_5_0
- Wuling Region
- Wuling Drowing in water effect 0x6C98FC05.ps_5_0
- Wuling Chapter 2 Story shader, after Tangtang area development, Ardashir talking```

[woeful raven]

also mind telling me what these are and how you triggered them

[woeful raven]

huh why would bt709 clamp fix that

[serene bridge]

the ones i just gave you

0xBCD91195.ps_5_0 Gacha Screen 
0x57737D9F.ps_5_0 Character Trial Combat Training Area
0x21241B7A.ps_5_0 Endministrator skill```

[fleet hatch]

idk exactly how but it helped for zzz so i kept it in. ritsu has it in one of his mods too

[grim kiln]

there is a boot.cfg under the endfield game data folder that has a hdr-display-enabled setting i set it to 1 but i have no idea if its actually doing anything

[woeful raven]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-rock-the-rock-gif-6658795805713564985

[serene bridge]

doubt it, that didn't do anything in the beta

[grim kiln]

let me try and get reshade loaded in and see if lilums detects hdr

[woeful raven]

after autohdr before decode?

[grim kiln]

the game is vulkan yea?

[woeful raven]

like that?

[woeful raven]

the reno mod is DX11

[grim kiln]

i mean just base for reshade install

[woeful raven]

if you install it for vulkan it will work for vulkan

if you install for DX11 use the methods in the pins

[grim kiln]

okay yea the display hdr flag in the boot.cfg does nothing reshade has lilium listed sdr analysis

sadge

[woeful raven]

what did you expect

lol

[grim kiln]

🤷‍♂️

worth a try if the parameter is there

[serene bridge]

bruh the CA is awful, its always on and blurring the screen

🤮

[grim kiln]

CA toggle under graphics settings turns it off for me

[woeful raven]

combo skill is shared with CA off game

you haven't sent it to me nvm you did but i got my own copy

but i have it already

wait a bit for patch

[fleet hatch]

  hdr_video = renodx::draw::UpscaleVideoPass(saturate(hdr_video), config);
  hdr_video = renodx::color::srgb::DecodeSafe(hdr_video);
  hdr_video = renodx::draw::RenderIntermediatePass(hdr_video);
  return hdr_video = max(0, hdr_video); // bt709 clamp```

[dusky wave]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-screaming-robert-downey-jr-stuff-im-stuff-gif-19465215

[woeful raven]

wait what does gamma safe do again

[woeful raven]

damn what did u do

xdd

[woeful raven]

nvm i remembered

sRGB to 2.2

though i think that's already included in gamma correction when you do renderintermediatepass so I'll prob skip that

[dusky wave]

I thought it was a menu based shader but if you turn off CA, the uber is shared with game scene

You already have it so I'll just leave it to you

I am looking into why per channel and hue shifting is having no effect

and why the fire material is soo bright

[woeful raven]

Tonemappass should include that already so no reason it shouldn't be working

unless those params need something extra

[dusky wave]

just how the material is

its bright as shit in linear as well

Maybe Termite Spline has a better roll off

[woeful raven]

yeah, so it should be affected by hue correction

[dusky wave]

but its not

maybe your LUT config is doodoo

Gib me a sec

Fixed

[unkempt pulsar]

holy crap this game has godawful shader compilation stutter

[twin haven]

even with ssd? planning to play it

[unkempt pulsar]

yes

[twin haven]

fuu

[unkempt pulsar]

it's the worst i've ever seen, genuinely

but this is with vulkan, i'll try with DX11

[twin haven]

hope dx11 fares better

i hate stutters

[unkempt pulsar]

same, it's so bad that voice lines tend to repeat

[covert jetty]

Has it been confirmed if FG in vulkan goes above the 120 fps cap?

[unkempt pulsar]

it does

nvidia confirmed it in their blog post

[covert jetty]

Hnng the tradeoffs

[woeful raven]

huh u sure

what did u fix

wait why is the fire green now

[unkempt pulsar]

@twin haven

[dusky wave]

wait wtf, hue shifting still isnt doing anything

what is this

why

[woeful raven]

wdym

i think 2 is different from 3 no?

[dusky wave]

thats because I changed up the code

but the actual Reno menu stuff

has no effect

[twin haven]

damn im in data mode and it buffers badly

[unkempt pulsar]

-# it's bad

DX11 seems MUCH better though!!

still stutters, but much less frequently and the stutters are shorter

[twin haven]

wait have you passed the Compilation Shader page? or it compiles on the go?

[unkempt pulsar]

i have waited for the shader compilation step

seems it didn't really do anything

[twin haven]

welp, we play what we can

[woeful raven]

@dusky wave hmm

I think i might know

[dusky wave]

pray tell

[woeful raven]

yep

it was my

silly mistake

[dusky wave]

https://tenor.com/view/tata-mpo-gif-15942038246373310601

[woeful raven]

• Fix incorrectly working sliders
• added new Uberposts
• Added video AutoHDR

[unkempt pulsar]

time to set this up, game looks real flat in SDR

thank you for your efforts, guys

[median robin]

DoF does look kinda ass

[dusky wave]

Complain complain complain

Wheres the Waifu discussions

but yes

[median robin]

waifus good

[dusky wave]

DOF looks off

[median robin]

discussion over

[woeful raven]

@dusky wave basically I was missing a parse function so the addon thinks I was in vanilla or none tonemaptype and did not apply hue correction and tonemapping

[dusky wave]

ohj

thats why Flare was also greyed out

Yh, if you remove None and ACES

[woeful raven]

ya that gave me the hint

[dusky wave]

you gotta adjust the thing

[woeful raven]

so we were playing in none tonemaptype the entire time

[dusky wave]

it was just clamping with swapchain to your set peak

utterly PEAK

[woeful raven]

what else do we add now

termite spleen?

highlights v3?

how do we do dizz shiz

[twin haven]

now do highlights v4
skip v2 and 3!

[dusky wave]

Fartman Fiend you do

#define RENODX_RENO_DRT_TONE_MAP_METHOD renodx::tonemap::renodrt::config::tone_map_method::HERMITE_SPLINE

in shared.h

the addon already uses highlight / shadow v3 by default now

if you based it off generic

[dusky wave]

muh film grain

then bloom slider

then vignette slider

then add RT

then add PT

then KYS

[woeful raven]

oh just replace reinhard right

can we add a toggle

wanna see how diff it makes

[dusky wave]

You can

either add it to the main tonemapper selection

or as a separate toggle for RenoDRT (flicks between Reinhard or Termite)

[woeful raven]

ya after tone mapper I'll do tone map method

[dusky wave]

Per Channel scaling you can remove

aint no body using Per Channel

[woeful raven]

xD

[dusky wave]

If fires are grifed we use hue shifting

or edit VFX

[brittle abyss]

Question : someone knows what the hell is anisotropic sampling ?

Would that simply be a confusing way to say anisotropic filtering perhaps ?

[median robin]

yeah it's just wrong wording

[brittle abyss]

Thx !

[grizzled herald]

Oh... Don't understand 90% of things you modders talk, but I still did read them haha. My guess is you guys figured this out?

[raven fable]

For internal LUT yea sounds likely!

[brittle abyss]

I feel you. Not even modding tbh, just hdr stuff. That being said, you're in luck with this one as it is pretty self explanatory. Black level raise just means blacks are higher than the 0 level they should : so dark grey really. It can mess up contrast and kill near black details when that happens.

[covert jetty]

Mod's looking great btw, thanks for all your efforts

[woeful raven]

• added UID toggle (status text), only works for 3840x2160 for now
• added termite spleen tonemap method

@serene bridge if you find more ubers dump it here

@dusky wave i leave it to u for the UI stuff

[median robin]

does each resolution need to be manually added for the UID toggle?

[woeful raven]

i hardcoded the UI hide to 3840x2160 cause i couldn't quickly find a way to hide it

[last hinge]

Hmmm are the newer versions dx11 only?

[woeful raven]

maybe we can check reshade swapchain res to set the values automatically

[woeful raven]

ALL the versions are dx11 only

[last hinge]

The ups and downs of vulkan

[dusky wave]

We're waiting for Ritsu to add stuff we need for VK

[woeful raven]

no toggle

only works at 3840x2160 for now

forge will save us

[median robin]

thx for saving us Forge

[dusky wave]

I will be adding sliders for effects

And film grain

[median robin]

really appreciate the effort being put into this and so fast. Mod looks great!

[grizzled herald]

Yeah of course. Black level raise is one of the first things that brought me to this kind of places haha. So when you see it written by staff people you get spooked haha.

You guys are 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧙!

[woeful raven]

save us

commit uploaded

[dusky wave]

Time to

Did you try vertex shader for UID

[woeful raven]

i havent

i've never touched a vertex shader before

[dusky wave]

I will also try mucking about with the sun texture if I can

Right now it's just a lens circle thing

Because SDR clamped it all away, so they didn't bother

[median robin]

is hermite spline mainly brighter highlights compared to reinhard?

[dusky wave]

hermite spline has better higher roll off

so it should mantain 'better' highlights

[median robin]

alright!

it does look very nice

[woeful raven]

not sure if more resource upgrades are needed

but I toggle pretty much all of them to output ratio and it works

maybe we need any size for some of it, not sure

as long as we leave r11g11b10float its gucci

im gonna go to sleep

[dusky wave]

No game?

[woeful raven]

i got other things to do tomorrow

[dusky wave]

abysmal

[median robin]

@dusky wave any chance the latency indicator next to the UID is also hideable?

[dusky wave]

I'll check vertex shaders

those tend to handle UI elements

[median robin]

oki

[dusky wave]

and it might be split up there

I'll also add a UI global toggle for screenshots during cutscenes and the like

[median robin]

lovely

[grizzled herald]

Go crazy. Any chance you can add a couple free pulls as well? :PP

[fleet hatch]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/G_EH9w0WcAAvstN.gif

[woeful raven]

its hideable

I just excluded the latency because i want to see the NUMBERS

@dusky wave renodx performance impact 5W

is joever

switching between vanilla and renodrt saw my gpu go up by a whole 5 watts

from 229 to 234W

[dusky wave]

[woeful raven]

[dusky wave]

Cancel the addon

I rebuild the addon on my end

went from 3MB to 2MB

slop code is unrealTM on your end

[woeful raven]

dahell

did you use clang

or what

[dusky wave]

Clang64

[woeful raven]

ya I used ninja x64

[dusky wave]

Binja

[woeful raven]

not sure what the difff is

[dusky wave]

You want to upload to Nexooos

[woeful raven]

but if clang is better then i'll move to clang

[dusky wave]

ninja stops birus scan on Nexus

meanwhile Clang procs

[woeful raven]

oh

oh well might as well upload to nexus if im already building clang

when i wake up tomorrow i better see

dynamic UID, latency hide

film grain

RT

PT

FG

all you

[dusky wave]

also

I just CTD

because you still have the auto return button on tonemapper

its trying to return to a tonemapper that doesnt exist

so it CTDs

[woeful raven]

[dusky wave]

I set Can Reset = false

its fine

problemo solved

[median robin]

understandable

[remote steeple]

do i install reshade the same way i did for wuwa? rename it to d3d12.dll?

[median robin]

follow the pinned instructions

[remote steeple]

oh ok :3

[dusky wave]

Spiwar really allowed the HDR video peak nit slider to go to 4000nits

Thats one way to kill eyeballs

[median robin]

lmao

[signal magnet]

Why would they lock fps at 120 when its capable of getting so much more

[dusky wave]

FGsloppa can get higher

but thats VK exclusive

[median robin]

who knows, maybe they'll unlock the cap even further as a patch main feature down the road

[dusky wave]

What is this slop

Its the only shader that has a texture that resmebles anything like the sun

but I tried modifying it and theres zero change

even undrawing the shader doesnt remove the sun disk

Anyways, UI toggle is in, vignette slider, grain is in

Would like to improve the sun disk becasue rn its bad

[frosty current]

end field doesnt let me play arknights in the background

[glacial kayak]

It probably doesn't like that gpg uses hypervisors, maybe try mumu

[dusky wave]

finally found the skybox shader

Sun has been saved

[median robin]

https://tenor.com/view/dark-souls-praise-gif-25000256

[dusky wave]

OK, I think I can now post my version

Spiwar can merge after and do whatever

[median robin]

minor thing: the glowy sphere in the Protocol Spaces doesn't seem as bright as it "should" be. Barely goes above paper white nits

not important, but thought I'd put it here anyway

there also seems to be some clamping while doing skills inside these areas

[dusky wave]

made the shader red to see what it was effecting, didnt see any differences then I realised I was staring into the sky the whole time. turns out the T1 that looks almost identical to the sun disk is actually affecting this

Sun boost V1 dropped (added corona + bloom)

[dusky wave]

I'll check it out

[median robin]

realised I leaked my UID, so I deleted the pic since I'm paranoid LMAO

@dusky wave the clamping seems to come specifically from endmins skill from what I can see

[dusky wave]

• Fixed and cleaned up bugs
• Added UI global toggle (for screenshots)
• Added Vignette slider
• Added perceptual film grain
• Added a 'Rendering Improvements' section that currently has 'HDR Sun' (will look into if I can solve current DOF shenanigans)
  (forgot to add some extra UI to the toggle off)

[glacial kayak]

Now add a dx12 renderer

[dusky wave]

One step at a time

let me see if I can fix DOF

[stable lava]

omg please

the dof is so low res it looks like im playing from a console

[woeful raven]

Where's rtgi

[dusky wave]

Marty didn't let me use

[woeful raven]

Abysmal

[dusky wave]

I'll forward my slop onto my hub soonTM

Then you can merge

And we can all live happily ever after

[woeful raven]

Amazing

The sun improvements look great doe

[dusky wave]

SSR doesnt look like utter dogshit?

I cant believe it

sure it still has screenspace limitations

but I cant remember the last time I played a game with SSR where it wasnt just noisy 3 pixel reflections

[grim kiln]

hmm i downloaded the aio package to inject reshade but i cant get it to actually inject reshade i get no menu 🤔 i did set it to run as admin

[dusky wave]

You run the .bat

[grim kiln]

yea i am

[dusky wave]

it asks for the admin access for Endfield

you say yes

then the game launches in

[twin haven]

yes

[grim kiln]

set inject as admin run the bat some console windows come up says it found whatever the game launches but no menu

[dusky wave]

ummm

Im not sure

Ebic or standalone launcher?

[woeful raven]

two admin prompts

one for inject

one for endfield

[grim kiln]

set both endfield and inject as admin no prompts come up just the consoles quickly then game launches but no menu i have no idea

[woeful raven]

welp

as i'd usually say in the wuwa channel

sounds like a you issue

[grim kiln]

usually is

[woeful raven]

gotta figure something out urself

[grim kiln]

now it says failed to open target application

who knows

game still launches

oh well

needed launcher open

[frosty current]

super sad theres no rtgi/native hdr

[woeful raven]

Native hdr has an 89% chance of being trash

Nothing to be sad about

[dusky wave]

vanilla HDR with SDR-lite sun that caps out at 350nits

[median robin]

big fan of the new sun Forge

[dusky wave]

[median robin]

I looked at it for 10 seconds

now blind

[dusky wave]

I fixed the three compute shaders for DOF

now I can take a look

its doing some weird things

its jittering badly

[median robin]

the dof seems so inconsistent. At times it's fine, and then suddenly it's the most pixelated mess

[dusky wave]

and disabling the horizontal pass + bokeh still has a blur layered

[serene bridge]

Sad but it It is a paid shader after all. Would it be possible to do something like REST where we can turn on the RTGI ourselves and have it not affect UI and other effects?

[dusky wave]

I am meming about that one

we can, Reno has REST functionality

I already played around with it in WH3

[serene bridge]

Oh damnn nice

[woeful raven]

share

[dusky wave]

I forget that DOF has a trillion components

At the very least the CS is piss easy to solve

theyre very short

but now the fun of trying to figure out why its pixalated

inb4 they solve it anyways

[woeful raven]

I mean its probably dumb scaling?

Like
