[pulsar lagoon]

I assume Vanilla means it wont work with anything like ENB/CS

[young blaze]

I have not tested that, it’s only the tonemapper currently, but I would assume so.

[cerulean ermine]

Strange that nobody built HDR into ENB or CS yet

[pulsar lagoon]

Boris thinks hdr is a meme

So won’t happen for Enb

CS is working on it but from what I’ve tested and tried myself it’s still pretty ass

[cerulean ermine]

Dont even know what this does https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/76521

Just tonemapping?

[pulsar lagoon]

This is something else

And not supported anymore iirc

[peak flume]

this looks like some colorgrading idk.

[peak flume]

default Skyrim SE is as muted as something like Amnesia The Dark Descent 💀 .
We actually need something like CS with the whole PBR replacement to have it start to pop.

[pulsar lagoon]

certainly doesnt have anything to do with actual hdr

they have some test builds in the CS discord

they only have a GT7 tonemapper

and i didnt like it at all

shit was way too contrasty when i tried it

[peak flume]

GT7 is alright, perceptual so no hue shift.
i have it for Minecraft shaderpacks. it's tunable with toe, linear section, and shoulder.
maybe they up the toe too much leading to the contrast.

oh right, it also has a crazy white clip if you dont turn it off.

also, if GT7, is it BT2020 wcg?

[pulsar lagoon]

yeah but you cant tune these variables in cs i think

i couldnt get it to look good

[jaunty cobalt]

new shaders so no, you can make a reno addon per ENB

[pulsar lagoon]

oh all enbs use their own shaders? i thought its just the same shaders just tweaks to the bajillion params in ENB

[jaunty cobalt]

ENB allows custom shader injection

different authors have custom setups

Which means you would need to make a custom addon + or add support for all the different shaders

What Dab did for Minecraft

[robust zinc]

Doesn't that mean you can lets say make 2 for 2 different of those big wabbajack modpacks?

Like Nord Soul or whatever

[jaunty cobalt]

Up to whoever wants to make an addon

Theres nothing stopping someone from making a Reno addon for ENB

[robust zinc]

I'm a complete noob coding wise but I still might try with some games at some point

I got stuck setting up all the tools a while ago and just basically left it there since

[jaunty cobalt]

the only exception to this rule are ENB presets that uses Kitsuune's SilentHorizons 2 shaders

Kitsuune specifically obfuscate the shader code to stop community shaders from taking the code

or something along that effect

devkit or decomp produces garabage

[robust zinc]

We'll see the first game I was planning on trying was Homefront because it is an UE3 game has both DX9C and DX11 and from what I read UE3 and DX11 is the easiest to start

[jaunty cobalt]

My first addon was also UE3 and DX11

piss easy mostly

just find grading shader and adjust all the tonemapping to use RenoDX instead

Just be aware that UE3 titles like to saturate() a bunch of shaders

XCOM 2 saturated the deferred lighting shaders BRDF calculations which utterly clips specular details

also saturated DOF, Bloom and a bunch of others

[robust zinc]

We'll see if I can learn

Probably dive back in it in a few weeks when I've a week off

[pulsar lagoon]

right, makes sense

[fringe bloom]

we already have someone cooking on vanilla HDR for skyrim while Forge still can't make time to review the code for CS HDR

[pulsar lagoon]

CS HDR is cooked still from what ive used, maybe im too retarded to set it up properly iunno

it looked ass in enderal

[jaunty cobalt]

plz understand

[young blaze]

got taa working with the tonemapper, for getting the rest of it functional, what other shaders are a necessity to get funtioning for a mod like this. The ui needs some work like the health bars and such

how do i tell in a rendered in game shader needs to be worked on

[jaunty cobalt]

Difficult to say

It depends on the title

You can check via debugger tools like Renderdoc or nsight

For instance on my end when I revisited my XCOM 2 add-on, I found out that the deferred shader saturate()ed BRDF calculations

So effectively any direct light sources were getting clamped

Now most games aren't going to do that

Since they'll run fully linear

And only clamp in grading

[young blaze]

what about skyrim which does it all in gamma

[jaunty cobalt]

I am not sure, its less of is X game doing gamma,linear blah blah and more so are they doing shenanigans that clamp HDR output for us

XCOM 2 was fully linear until grading

but

they saturate()ed the deferred shaders

which was a WTF moment but there you go

as another example, Musa made Dying Light addon.

HDR looked pretty good and already solved major clipping issues thanks to HDR output

but, when he revisited the addon, he found a bunch of other shaders clamped output even further

Renderdoc and co will help you find this since you can view each shader pass and it has a menu that shows if colours go above 1.0

outside of that, you could dump and decompile shaders then go through them and you might pick up on SDR based clamping somewhere else

[jaunty cobalt]

Perhaps Skyrim only maxes out at around 400nits for fires and thats just how the game is

or

perhaps theres something clamping the fires further, once you solve it fires will be 3000nits (before tonemapping)

Newer games have it easier since PBR, raytracing and all the modern features require HDR lighting and physically based maths so devs dont clamp, clip or otherwise add some sort of blockers to shaders outside of post processing

[fringe bloom]

sun will probably clip at about 420 nits

oh actually, looking at your pic, that's about what I would expect yeah

that's just how far the vanilla skyrim engine really goes

[tranquil silo]

Hi there,
I have just finished work on hdr within cs for Skyrim.
There was a significant amount of work put into unclamping vanilla shaders. This is why hdr in Skyrim has taken so long, everything and its mother has a saturate on it. I don’t see vanilla really being properly possible without extensive shader re, but then you need to develop a system to hot load new shaders…

[tranquil silo]

i get 10k nits on fires

[tranquil silo]

bro passed judgement on an early wip build

when it’s on nexus go wild

[tranquil silo]

re’ing shaders is barrier for entry

there was so much vanilla slop that was saturated that was either fixed before me, or I had to fix and unclamp

genuinely, anything bright and anything image space has a saturate. taa, all specular, fire, sun, tonemapping, water, lighting, more

[pulsar lagoon]

well yeah what else am i supposed to do xd i judged whats available

[tranquil silo]

lol

[pulsar lagoon]

just saying it still needs work

[tranquil silo]

hdr has big learning curve

ya it almost done

[pulsar lagoon]

cant wait

[pulsar lagoon]

whats still missing ?

[tranquil silo]

nothing from hdr side

vanilla Skyrim changes tonemapping based on weather

I assumed it would use the one hdr tonemapper for everything but no

[pulsar lagoon]

i was using this a few days ago, it had a GT7 tonemapper but iunno it was very contrasty and i couldnt get it to look good

[tranquil silo]

I gotta add something to make it not washed out looking in cloudy weathers

[pulsar lagoon]

i also tried one of the other builds you posted but yeah

[tranquil silo]

this is very old

[pulsar lagoon]

i see

[tranquil silo]

test build 6 lowkey was broken too lmao

[pulsar lagoon]

should i try the one you just posted few days ago

ah nvm xd

[tranquil silo]

should be in dev soon enough

[pulsar lagoon]

hopefully i remember to check

i only sporadically check cs discord for news

because im also not really playing skyrim at all atm

[dire flint]

This will be what convinces me to drop enb lol.

[tranquil silo]

ain’t that the truth

haven’t played since I made terrain variation in August

[tranquil silo]

post processing will come very soon after

still in the “building the support systems” phase. essentially constructed our own effect 11 system for parameter tweaking. Almost complete, just adding things like ToD support for feature settings

[pulsar lagoon]

yeah was boutta ask about ToD and weathers stuff if thats still planned or worked on

[pulsar lagoon]

properly played ive probably not since 2024 i think xd

i wanna replay Enderal some time though with CS and HDR

such a good game

[dire flint]

Looking forward to it. I have a 1.5.97 mod list I haven't updated since late 24 / early 25. Will need to do some updates and amendments for any mods that have cs alternatives

[tranquil silo]

Lol damn

[dire flint]

It's probably time for a new save, I'll just keep the mods as an existing template

I'll probably look at getting involved with parallax gen and all the fun that comes with that. All the complex parallax mods I've been using came with ready to use meshes

[tranquil silo]

convert to Pbr

[young blaze]

im really doing this to get a learning curve, so like every single shader in game clamps or something

[tranquil silo]

Not every single shader, but there is a lot. I was lucky that cs has already reverse engineered and unclamped or rewritten a lot of shaders

The era Skyrim was made in it was standard to do everything in weird gamma with the clamping

[young blaze]

would you know of ones I should focus on?

I got the TAA working and such

[tranquil silo]

taa is unclamped properly?

lighting shader has saturates on a heap of shit, water, effect lighting

you need to replace vanilla tonemapper entirely

also fix display mapping

[tranquil silo]

not replacing vanilla shaders tho iirc. just lets you add custom effects that you call via enb extender or something

Only way to really see is testing and shader debugging with like renderdoc. First few pics looked interesting

[young blaze]

that ones already done

[tranquil silo]

mmk

[young blaze]

which one is the lighting shader

[tranquil silo]

idk I didn’t re it, it’s a compilation of a lot of different game shaders. where final pixel colours are created etc

talking in a cs perspective as it’s all I know

[young blaze]

ok, probably vanilla skyrim is less complicated,

[tranquil silo]

i mean, kinda not in this context

nothing was ever added that would make hdr shader conversion harder

nothing written was artificially or weirdly clamped like vanilla

but i wish you luck with it

[young blaze]

made the dof filter work with the swapchain upgrade

also anyone know of why if I don't clamp it here in the taa dark spots are visible through ui like the crosshair subtitles and even briefly appear on my desktop
r1.yzw = renodx::color::gamma::EncodeSafe(renodx::color::bt709::"clamp::AP1(
renodx::color::bt709::from::BT2020(
renodx::color::pq::Decode(r1.yzw, 100.f)
))
);

[small depot]

0xE510AF4E, 0x74270930, and 0x4A1240D0

just remove the saturates at the end

[young blaze]

oh god im gonna have to manually edit every light source am I

[jaunty cobalt]

Whats up?

[pulsar lagoon]

left fire is sdr

xd

[jaunty cobalt]

meme game

[jaunty cobalt]

boosted fires only?

look into hue shifting them a bit

they are pinkish here

[young blaze]

bascially every single shader is like individually clamped to sdr

[jaunty cobalt]

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

[young blaze]

or they even are not bright at all, and it basically is sdr brightness even when the tonemapper is hdr

[young blaze]

What did the vanilla tonemapper even do

[tranquil silo]

vanilla basically isn’t tonemapped

[young blaze]

even when getting the hdr output done, I did kind of notice that the fire looked a bit weird, I guess that what it looks like under the hood

[jaunty cobalt]

yes, that will be normal, older games use per channel tonemappers like hable or other filmic ones today like ACES

and those hue shift

so devs started making assets such as fires/lava ect pink

per channel will hue shift those to yellow/orange

so you need to account for that with Reno by hue shifting in post

its an ass backwards kinda deal, having to intentionally author assets wrong because they will get corrected in post

[young blaze]

any one have any tips for using renderdoc to try and find shaders easier then drawing and undrawing every single shader in the reno dx devkit
im trying to boost brightness of everything because for some reason its like every single shader is clamped to sdr

[jaunty cobalt]

so in renderdoc, it will show you a break down of every shader

you will have both input and output tab

it also has a pixel picker option that will show you the value of a pixel

so if you see it go above 1.0 you know its HDR

alternatively you can just mass dump every shader

and get grok to search for colour based saturate()s

Reno devkit also has texture view and RTV / UAV view

you should be able to see HDR brightness

[young blaze]

that i didn't know

[young blaze]

also in my findings today, fireflies and brightish windows share the same pixel shader

[jaunty cobalt]

vfx shader?

[young blaze]

yeah

[jaunty cobalt]

so you have the two main tabs

one shows the shader hashes

and the whole draw/undrawn

the first tab contains the shader breakdown of all the resources/textures RTVs and so on

You can check to see if X shader contains HDR info going into the shader by checking the textures or RTVs

you should be able to see HDR brightness in the resource view

then you know 'oh waitm the RTV for that same shader is now clamping'

that means something in the shader is causing 'output' to be clamped

if input going into x shader is already clamped then you know the issues is somewhere earlier in the pipeline

Vulkan is different

it doesnt show textures

only RTVs

so you will need to either decompile shaders and look or use nsight, PIX ect to figure out wahts going on with the shaders

[young blaze]

Thank you for bestowing this knowledge upon me

[small depot]

@young blaze also when you remove saturate(color), replace them with max(0, color)

any negatives will just be errors

outside of color grading scenarios where they might boost saturation by lerping from y for example

cause that would be exiting bt709 space

[tranquil silo]

vanilla sun does not exceed 400 nits but does not have any clamps

you will need to write a new sky/sun shader

to have a sun thats actually the brightest thing in the scene

[young blaze]

I tried something like this for the fire shaders, which got them pretty bright, would this work for the sun as well or should I try something else // ============================================================
// HDR MOD: Fire brightness boost for HDR tonemapper
// ============================================================
float fireLum = dot(r0.xyz, float3(0.2125, 0.7154, 0.0721));

float baseBoost = 4.0; // TUNE: raw brightness multiplier
float hotCorePush = smoothstep(0.1, 0.6, fireLum) * 4.0; // TUNE: extra boost for bright core
float totalBoost = baseBoost + hotCorePush; // 4x (dim edges) to 8x (hot core)

r0.xyz *= totalBoost;

// ============================================================
// HDR MOD: Hue shift — push pink fire toward orange
// ============================================================
float hueStrength = 0.7; // TUNE: 0 = no shift, 1 = full shift
float blueSuppression = 0.3; // TUNE: how much blue to kill (0 = none, 1 = all)
float greenWarmth = 1.15; // TUNE: >1 adds warmth via green, keeping it from going pure red

float3 shifted = r0.xyz;
shifted.b *= lerp(1.0, 1.0 - blueSuppression, hueStrength);
shifted.g *= lerp(1.0, greenWarmth, hueStrength);

// Preserve original luminance so the shift is purely chromatic
float lumBefore = dot(shifted.xyz, float3(0.2125, 0.7154, 0.0721));
float lumAfter = dot(r0.xyz, float3(0.2125, 0.7154, 0.0721));
shifted.xyz *= (lumAfter > 1e-6) ? (lumAfter / max(lumBefore, 1e-6)) : 1.0;

r0.xyz = shifted;

[young blaze]

Found the shader with the sun in it, but for some reason, the clouds are also in the same shader

[tranquil silo]

yes they are

you can’t control it separately. I wrote a new shader permutation to mess with sun alone

[young blaze]

sun

[tranquil silo]

check you didn’t also boost the moon

[young blaze]

I used renderdoc and sampled specific points on the suns textures, and then did a check in the shader, so it doesn’t boost the moon

[pulsar lagoon]

thats one blue ahh sun

[tranquil silo]

vanilla sun is like that

[young blaze]

oh would you happen to know what shader this is? not the spell but whats causing the whole screen to go blue?

[small depot]

is it not just from the grading part in the tonemap shader

[young blaze]

turning down the vanilla color grading setting in reno dx gets rid of the blue, but the screen still gets washed out

[small depot]

I wouldn't edit individual effects

if its supposed to do that

[young blaze]

also one thing ive noticed is that a good chunk of the magic/ magic projectiles share are also shared by the fire effects in game as well

[uneven blaze]

anything for special edition? 🙁

[small depot]

this is special edition

[young blaze]

anyone else think that the base lense flare effect looks ugly?

like I find it also bleeds through the walls

[fringe bloom]

It bleeds through walls because the sun doesn't care about single sided walls

And yes, you can change the glare sprite, NAT 3 does that

[young blaze]

is there any mod that can let me preload all of skyrims vanilla shaders, @peak flume mentioned something that can help me search for what I need to fix

[tranquil silo]

how are you controlling user sliders, ie paperwhite, peaknit and ui brightness in hdr

or does renodx handle that idk, i havent used it before

[young blaze]

Reno handles it

[tranquil silo]

yea right

what about ui blending

[young blaze]

Already taken care of

[small depot]

ui blending is same as before

all in gamma

then final shader linearizes

we usually do ui/game brightness by scaling up game brightness as a ratio of ui brightness after tm/color grade

then after linearization, scale final swapchain shader by ui brightness

[tranquil silo]

Okey dokey

I imagine it’s much easier not having to juggle frame gen also changing things lol, cs was a struggle

[small depot]

For fg are you passing off the render in pq to it separately from the scene?

Seems most games just give the final render with UI combined and also give alpha to streamline

But I doubt that works as well as passing the separate scene and ui

[tranquil silo]

fidelityfx handles most of the ui blending on fg

which is good and bad

can’t make it match perfectly in alpha blending cause that code isn’t available to be changed

but the game scene (in hdr) and ui are written separately, fg applied to scene, then combined at the end

[tranquil silo]

how did you detect fire independently?

just animated textures in effect shader?

[small depot]

prob not

just whatever shader the fires use

[tranquil silo]

they’re not their own shader

it’s just within effect lighting

[young blaze]

yep, I already know that, the fire shader just boosts brightness a bit, there are other similar shaders, I go into render doc to sample texture points and if it matches it either acts as a black or whitelist

One thing I have to black list in one of these shaders is windows for some reason

like they arent that bright at all why are they on the same shader

[tranquil silo]

Skyrim is silly

[young blaze]

yep

[warped wave]

Can’t wait for this mod to be complete 🤩 Thanks a lot legend!

[graceful dawn]

hahah

i did the same on Just Cause 3 or some game

[young blaze]

one thing I found out about skyrim special edition, a lot of the highlights, like fire, or any sort of light source/texture are mostly on 4 shaders

[cedar phoenix]

what is CS referenced in here?

I assume this might work for something like tempus maledictum but would break with Nolvus?

[young blaze]

This is not using CS, this is for the vanilla game

[cerulean ermine]

Yep gotta start some place

[young blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[tranquil silo]

Community shaders

i just finished hdr as part of the community shaders mod

[pulsar lagoon]

I’ll have to try that

[cedar phoenix]

Never heard of community shaders. The teo things I referenced were popular modpacks

I mean if you aren't playing skyrim with a 1000 + modpack in 2026 what are we doing here haha

I assume nolvus might incorporate community shaders tho

[fringe bloom]

Playing it with less mods

[fringe bloom]

Doubt it for now. They are thoroughly entrenched in the enb space.

[jaunty cobalt]

When I dont use either /s

Stick with reshade + Reno

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gif-5430850758035663288

Even better

play vanilla

As Todd intended

CS has PT so it is automatically better

[cerulean ermine]

CS is basically the new ENB. It adds Modern upscalers and frame gen and hundreds of bug fixes and modern rendering things. PBR materials support and SSGI for example.

[small depot]

I still haven't ever played with pbr textures

[fringe bloom]

Shhh don't spill the beans

[jaunty cobalt]

[cerulean ermine]

Wait they adding that?

[fringe bloom]

The PT is uhhh, far from usable

[cerulean ermine]

I rember Marty Mods was working on PT a while back used skyrim as a showcase.
https://youtu.be/bGmZtL0kZt0?si=WdVqoJxyQ1_JEaod

[fringe bloom]

Not actually PT

It doesn't understand the materials

[cerulean ermine]

ah

cool even more of a reason to not finish my custom modlist and wait

[fringe bloom]

Infinite wait

[cerulean ermine]

DarkSouls2 getting PT before Skyrim

[fringe bloom]

Probably

Who's stopping anyone from posting such vids right now?

[tranquil silo]

bottlerim is a good modpack for the whole gameplay + visuals based on CS.

cs will be better with post-processing in the next few weeks too

nexus is quite out of date. lotta changes coming

[cedar phoenix]

lol it's so bad

[young blaze]

yeah, when making editing the tonemapper, turns out a ton of elements in game, are like individually clamped to sdr and such

but im making good progress and its starting to look good

[tranquil silo]

yes, i was lucky in that 90% of the shaders were already unclamped by pumbo, doodlum, nukem, etc a year ago. it was basically taa and that was all that was actually clamped

doing it all from scratch again is gonna take a while

[pulsar lagoon]

[fossil bison]

Would this work with ENBs?

[pulsar lagoon]

no

[fringe bloom]

ENB presets would need to be individually patched to do native HDR since a lot of presets come with custom shaders that are usually clamped to SDR.

[tranquil silo]

this replaces vanilla shaders so i doubt it

plus what skrubby said

[young blaze]

for selecting tonemappers, none and RenoDrt do not look that different, for some reason

also, I want to add different tonemappers, like that pyscho one to mess around with when making this, also here is the tonemapper code I have currently, im kind of stuck on trying to add the tonemappers from the src/shaders file

[tranquil silo]

skyrim is basically untonemapped lol, so if reno is also very uninvasive that would make sense

i found dice was very similar too for that reason

[young blaze]

Here is the most recent build, anyone want to try it out, need some help in trying to find items that are clamped individually in sdr and such

[young blaze]

one question, so you have stated that the shaders were unclamped by like musa and such, would you happen to still have the vanilla shaders that are unclamped or something

so nothing changed about the shaders except they are unclamped

[young blaze]

that would let me release the reno dx mod much faster and not have it take ages to unclamp every single indivdual object and such

[tranquil silo]

i don’t have vanilla version of the shaders, no. you’d have to dive into cs history on GitHub. would probably take longer than just diy. also any cs code used means this has to be gpl and idk how that works with renodx

the shaders I modified were done well before my time in the project, and 90% were already unclamped and written properly

[fringe bloom]

Maybe the vanillaHDR mod may be of interest?

[tranquil silo]

yes doodlums old mod will be closer

he did just hide it on nexus tho lol

[young blaze]

So what would be the best way to get every shader, how should my workflow for that be

Reno dx dev kit lets you dump the shaders easily an such

[tranquil silo]

i don’t really have an answer

Dump shaders, re, etc

I didn’t do any of that work lol

better off asking doodlum or something or on cs discord

[tranquil silo]

or the re discord

[fringe bloom]

Doodlum is on the hdr den discord too

[young blaze]

turns out the shaders can be unclamped via an ini edit

fLightingOutputColourClampPostSpec=1.0
fLightingOutputColourClampPostEnv=1.0
fLightingOutputColourClampPostLit=1.0

these ones

[tranquil silo]

interesting

[young blaze]

Kind of odd that it’s controlled in the ini file

[tranquil silo]

the ini is how I forced everything to 10/16 bit buffers

except for colourspace that needed manual

[young blaze]

Reno made it easy to do the upgrades, the color space still is in rec 709, but because I’m just using the vanilla shaders that’s fine

[tranquil silo]

yes, mine is still 709

[young blaze]

one thing, I just set those values to 9999, does it really matter what its set to or not

[tranquil silo]

i didn’t know those ini existed so I got no clue unfortunately

[fringe bloom]

yes that's how vanilla HDR did it

[young blaze]

My first Reno Dx mod attempt for Vanilla Skyrim Special Edition, is now in a state where it can be released, a couple of things for proper installation. Go to Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition and open your SkyrimPrefs.ini file and find these three lines fLightingOutputColourClampPostSpec=1.0
fLightingOutputColourClampPostEnv=1.0
fLightingOutputColourClampPostLit=1.0, and change them all to 9999.0, that way the shaders in game are unclamped. Special Thanks to @peak flume , @small depot and @tranquil silo for being a major help in my learning in making this. Also it should be noted that this mod will only work with vanilla Skyrim installations, shader mods/ebbs probably won’t work with this

[tranquil silo]

did you do anything for the sun boost in the end?

[young blaze]

boosted the sun a bit,and did something so that it stays a similar size

[tranquil silo]

gotcha ok

[young blaze]

Made a change to a shader that was way brighter then it should be

[grave nova]

This doesn't work for me unfortunately. Maybe I've set it up wrong but with this, none of my reshade effects work and I drop down to 5 fps

[fringe bloom]

Reshade effects are often not designed for HDR. try without any reshade effects first.

Also skyrim upscaler will probably also not work

Nor does ENB if you are running that

[teal portal]

This is awesome stuff, might try it out on a vanilla+ skyrim setup

Is community shaders still going to try adding its own HDR later? Is that even still a thing?

[fringe bloom]

yes, it's done, we're waiting for a tiny fix to be merged and to finish the modpage

[teal portal]

Wow. Incredible stuff!

[grave nova]

I see ye I'm running the full stack

thanks for the heads up

[young blaze]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179261

[warm stratus]

Congrats man! super awesome, people wanted Skyrim HDR for a long time

Did you nuke the bloom? if so good choice lol

And there are still objects clamped to SDR right? or so I've heard

[young blaze]

no as turns out you can just change three lines in the ini file, and that unclamps mostly everything

[young blaze]

yes i did

[warm stratus]

my bad I just saw those instructions
