Hello, I've attached renderdoc screenies I took recently for a game I'm modding. My question is really quite simple; What determines shader slots/respurces? The Grender, the render target or the shader itself? same goes for resolution.
I want to mod this game to have a proper AA implementation, and I don't think we can modify the pipeline, but these shaders are sequential in the rendering stack, as far as I understand.
I'd love advice/help from someone who knows,
thanks!

The shader resource slots are determined by the shader and which resources are bound to them is set by the host
Basically the shader only ever declares which resource indices it will use and the CPU program (host) does everything else, including setting resolution and pipeline state

I assume thats the graphics pipeline doing that in engine, so unlikely to be able to fix that without extreme exe patching

yeah there's not a lot you can do from the shader itself
if you think of the shader as a function with fixed inputs and outputs then I think the limitations become clearer
you can basically change what the 'function' does but not its interface or what gets passed to it

@sick rune can I do anything with shaders?
Im trying to do TAA or something

you can do something but if you can't set up a new shader with the inputs and outputs you want then it'll be pretty difficult, if not impossible

As far as understand, these shaders in the same pipeline
the output of the one, is the input to the other
all the shaders were compiled with debug symbols, at least
