[jovial cedar]

Maybe being absent for 1 month and still be for the next two months kinda explains why

The whole depth buffer thing became a trend after my departure

My last gamma update was maybe like October 9 or 10 x)

[strange finch]

Miss you king

[jovial cedar]

Same here

[mint slate]

i just wanted to pick up stashes in dead city...

[modern knot]

well you're a boss regardless, best game out there ❤️

[jovial cedar]

Thx, but technically it's @strange finch now xD

[rocky berry]

Think it was Saiga-12 ISG. I picked it up from on of the Monolith if I am not wrong.

[serene haven]

Is the weapon inspection an idle event or is it a key with gamma? I had a key for it in Anomaly but idk about Gamma

[burnt forge]

The inspect button is disabled, but it is double tap F

You can enable it by turning off a mod in MO2

[serene haven]

Yeah no go on double tap F you know which mod by chance?

[burnt forge]

Probably something like “inspect on double tap f disabler”

[serene haven]

Legend thanks man

[ocean lynx]

Came upon these NPC's trapped between two reflector anomalies, floating midair

[quartz cape]

is that just the non tactical m4?

[quartz cape]

what shaders? it looks beautiful

[modern knot]

m4 butcher. its my own reshade and sss mod and the rest of normal gamma stuff. i bumped sss settings, its about to be even better

[quartz cape]

ah ez man

[strange finch]

Lovely

[sterile frigate]

how many people freedom need to kill 1 zombie

tanked my fps to 4

[exotic pewter]

This Kar 98 glowup mod is so nice.

[full drum]

I don't think I'm supposed to be here

[dark brook]

Immediately thought about 9x39 mm

[quartz cape]

[toxic jolt]

finally got this sorted

[fickle sigil]

yes

man it looks so beautiful in that screenshot

[quartz cape]

That the new SSS update? Can you show me how you got it?

[copper fractal]

🔥🔥🔥

Is that G.A.M.M.A? I remember the game differently

[weak ferry]

How did you make your game look like that

[sage maple]

Since the SSS DoF shader update makes playing without minimap basically unplayable or at least cumbersome, I mashed together the two Gamma options. First draft, the overlay texture needs some more depth so that it maintains readability.

[toxic jolt]

yeah it is . just with a few extra mods

[toxic jolt]

its a bit of a process . if you look in the reshade channel my instructions should be in there but its a alot of mucking about .

[quartz cape]

sweet cheers

[toxic jolt]

i did mine from a complete fresh install though so i cant promise it will behave the same if its not .

[quartz cape]

ahh fair man

i might just not bother and wait till groks next update

[toxic jolt]

that would be my advice , i dont think it will be too far away . i updated sss on a fresh install without realising so it was either wait and not play .or figure it out

[quartz cape]

yeah makes sense

[cobalt gyro]

real gigachad

[ember barn]

Golden autumn redux + my own reshade settings

[sage steeple]

What minimap mod is thT

If looks nice

[royal ocean]

Gorgeous game this

yes I still have a Toz

[wooden ermine]

reshade is dyns in #1035807043933720576

[simple solstice]

i love this game

[stoic cairn]

What mod do you use for minimap?

[ember barn]

Winter looks so insane in stalker, love it.

[sage maple]

@sage steeple & @stoic cairn Did it myself and used assets from the two Gamma Minimap / Compass options. Added small border to the map part to mask the edges of the map.

[sage steeple]

Thats pretty nice, can you share it? Or idk you might need permission for using the assets

Minimap is pretty nice especially for looking for the stashes since the DoF makes everything blurry now when using pda

Also what gun is that

Sr 556?

[clever badger]

looks like the Ruger

[modern knot]

just found the fix for ao in 2d scopes, makes stuff look so much better to finally use it again

[sage maple]

I asked the auhots whose assets I used for permission to post it here. The weapon is the Ar-15 Hera.

[sage steeple]

what texture pack do you use? vanilla?

[sage steeple]

thank you very much

[limpid warren]

I need to know how to get this look. The lighting is so good. Or is this just your winter mod? Any other mods added for better reshading or anything?

[opaque summit]

What weapon pack?

[exotic pewter]

I'm using the new B&S version patch and the ATHI weapon pack in the mods channel, I think the pistol is B&S

[sage steeple]

also thats aggressor grass right?

[exotic pewter]

yup I like the green

[sage steeple]

it looks different tho

on my end it looks too green like crayons xD

what reshade do you use

also maybe its on the hippo grading I use

[lunar crane]

This is Dead air, new weather presets. Soon I will port it to the project inverno for Anomaly

[exotic pewter]

I'm using the EXP Edition Complete in mod channel. Took some setup and is incompatible with Beef's NVGs sadly but its very nice otherwise

[modern knot]

summer

[opaque summit]

where can i find aggressor grass edit

[exotic pewter]

I downloaded the reshade off of moddb and took it from the optionals folder

[opaque summit]

oh ok its just in there thx

[sage steeple]

ahhh thats why

it looks different

[limpid warren]

lmao i just looked up dead air, cause idk what it is, and i came up with https://www.moddb.com/mods/dead-air/ It's not anomaly but why is some of the stuff in these videos NOT in anomaly.

[next basalt]

[strange finch]

I’ve heard that it looks great but it has some jank weathers mixed in

I’m not sure though

[random flame]

DYN-Reshade - Colour Preset. Exactly what i have been looking for. Great Work Mate!

[warm sierra]

looks like a painting, in a good way

[sage steeple]

game looks crisp and beautiful with subtle DoF

HippoBot Reshade

@strange finch your work is amazing man im loving it

though I added ssdo and turned down sharpening and glam AO

[strange finch]

Sounds good! What did you tweak in glam AO

[sage steeple]

nothing much just removed DoF from there and reduced AO strength

[strange finch]

Sounds good!

And added AO from ssdo?

[trim sigil]

ha played a bit with the settings have more fps and it looks so much better because of smoot trees that are not jagged to hell

[modern knot]

o, hai

[torpid mauve]

Rate my reshades

[calm scroll]

You could probably post that in #1035807043933720576

[sage maple]

@calm scroll Maybe. But coming from Skyrim modding, not getting usage permissions can get you into trouble. On the other hand this is not Nexusmods.

[placid ginkgo]

Don't spray bleach in your eyes to ReShade, guys.
Only professionals can do it and tell the tale.

[ember barn]

These shots are great!

Chill time in Meadow

[nova dove]

anyone have this issue before? just booted up today and was greeted with this. I can hear the game and work with the menus but apparently my character has gone blind.

[sage steeple]

Yeah

I just used the ssdo that came with your pack and changed it a bit as well

[pliant latch]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and type !blackscreen

[sage steeple]

Same with w3 mods xD and its just better to ask permission

[nova dove]

thanks

[pliant shore]

This looks like Stalker 2 before Stalker 2

would love to hear the settings

[sage steeple]

Latest SSS update plus + github exes + HippoBot Grading preset + Hippo.ltx + Autumn Harmony

I modified the reshade to my taste and tweaked the DoF that came with the SSS update

[pliant shore]

Alright, cheers mate

[clever badger]

bro tweaking

[trim sigil]

tweaked the scope settings, much better now for my taste, no chromatic abberation anymore, unrealistic setting anyways and tube is a bit bigger now because the shader was way too much

it still wiggles and everything ofc

[jovial cedar]

I think the ground should be a bit darker and the sky a bit more bright, also I can barely notice the bloom

[twin pendant]

What a chad.

[jovial cedar]

I intend to touch grass to the next level for a future repack

[jovial cedar]

The second picture feels like a different game xD

[south jungle]

Yup

[rough spindle]

The ambient light is almost non-existent. You can try max values as well. But overall very good... So immersive. Please share Lauta.

[jovial cedar]

This sarcasm is above mine for sure xD

[lunar crane]

I found old version of Project I.N.V.E.R.N.O, Thought it was lost forever (FPS friendly textures)

[quartz cape]

i still dont understand how you got your game so good

[violet briar]

yeah, is theer a way to use ur reshade settings for my game?

[still sedge]

amazing shoot bruh!
do you use mods in addition to the modpack? a reshade?
your visual looks crazy

[next vine]

jacked up the SSR/SSS/and SSAO

[quartz cape]

and how would i go about doing that?

[delicate hearth]

Somebody's curious

[violet briar]

and in plain english, havnt upgraded my graphic card in like 5 years or more 😄

Big Thank You

[modern knot]

He's got others too, also it performs better than gardener of the zone

I am def gonna try out snow eventually. Gets rid of rain which is rough but ya. Snow looks so good, think it makes up for it

He posted some snowy sunset screens above

[lunar crane]

download 00 and 04 folder (base and summer)

[shut nest]

Yeah I use your golden autumn redux right now, really loving it, you are a master at what you do.

[lunar crane]

thank you

[modern knot]

what is defer_imp_flat? ive been letting sss win the conflict

didnt wanna break sss lol

[lunar crane]

shader for Graupel textures

[timber bough]

It breaks the new rain puddles from forming unfortunately

[modern knot]

ah, then i prob will leave sss winning

if it breaks those

it seems to still look great

not exactly sure what im missing out on though

probably things like mud not being as shiny as it should be in some spots and stuff?

[clever badger]

what dou you think of this change ive made?

[modern knot]

I want a wet, lush zone, summer works well for this without its weather. Going for creepy wet misty chernobyl look on the reshade, thats why it's got so much green tint.

Sort of, abandoned, overgrown.

I haven't actually tried the weathers that come with summer yet, but I am so happy with this look I've just left it.

[topaz pond]

Looks sexy af

[modern knot]

thanks haha

#1041041642347573368

[clever badger]

guys i was currious if there were any other graphic mods / textures i can install with gamma mods pack

[modern knot]

you can install reshades and swap out terrains

[clever badger]

terrains meaning grass trees etc?

[modern knot]

So like, if you disabled gardener of the zone in mo2 and download one of these https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jCAlpa5DnN7EADkAcCQVQ1HTo9CdjTt7 the base file and the accompanying terrain, and then enable them in mo2, you get new terrain

yeah all of it

[clever badger]

so basicly gamma allready improved terrain in its own way ?

[topaz pond]

Yes

[clever badger]

right

and vegetation aswell?

[modern knot]

you can also update sss mod by downloading sss mod most recent files, enabling it, loading shader cumulative before it and going in to shader cumulative and deleting these files

and then replacing user.itx in D:\Anomaly\appdata

[clever badger]

are the google drive ones better btw?

[modern knot]

with D:\STALKER GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata\user.itx

[clever badger]

thanx for the update tip

[modern knot]

and D:\Anomaly\gamedata\configs\cache_dbg.itx with D:\STALKER GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\gamedata\configs\cache_dbg.itx

then clear shader cache in D:\Anomaly\appdata

[modern knot]

ya np

theres no guide on how to make sss mod work with gamma rn, so im constantly telling people those instructions lol

[clever badger]

i took a screenshot , really appreciated

only thing is my english is not that good , so i prob. will f this up..although i would really like to do this 😅

[modern knot]

yeah i just screenshotted our convo and cropped out my instructions too cuz ive been telling lots of people. if you dont do that you get shader compilation error when you try to update sss mod.

you got this :]

[clever badger]

🫣 😂 👍

im going to give it a try

[modern knot]

kk

[clever badger]

i can understand the last part but the first part i have my doubts , you can also update sss mod by downloading sss mod most recent files, enabling it, loading shader cumulative before it and going in to shader cumulative and deleting these files

i found the files i need to replace after step 1 😅

[lunar crane]

I'm trying to combine shaders, no volume yet

[shut nest]

I don't have to clear shader cache if I installed a texture mod right?

[clever badger]

updating with gamma installer right? how to enable it and where are these shader cumulative? sorry ...try to understand

Ye looked into getting it soon

[pliant latch]

What foliage are you running? Fabio summer?

[tepid viper]

Since I just decided to try them out and I quite like the one I got now as well

[modern knot]

Yeah summer with normal gamma weather for more wet look and normal sss shaders for puddles

[modern knot]

Yeah it looks good koraxx

[tepid viper]

Man I'd prob hope for a storm (I kinda set my game to mostly rain/storm) and just sit there and enjoy the atmosphere ngl

[modern knot]

yeah for real, thats exactly what i have, frequent long storms, overgrown zone

[orchid drum]

severed heads

[quasi oak]

[modern knot]

k their dead

spooky

[limpid warren]

ok, i do not get puddles like this

[modern knot]

go to my reshade #1041041642347573368 and follow those instructions

for installing sss mod the right way

most people only have the dof

cuz they didnt do it right, you have to compile your shaders with the right files being priority

its complicated, 9 steps

or wait for anniversary update, im sure they will compile it correctly for gamma by then

[limpid warren]

yeah imma just wait, cause im lazy tonight

[pliant latch]

You shouldn't have to go through all those steps. The SSS config files from the new update should overwrite the ones from cumulative pack

[limpid warren]

the only thing i didn't do in there is i just disabled cumulative shaders

[pliant latch]

You had something else conflicting most likely

[pliant latch]

There's a setting in the sss puddles config to make it so puddles are always on. Helped a lot with testing/tweaking

[limpid warren]

i might just wait for the update, i got drawn back into 7 days to die lol

All this time of playing, and doing an update and had to restart i still haven't been inside CNPP or complete the story

[modern knot]

im telling you it doesn't compile correctly if you dont do that. it tries to compile the shader cumulative pack first which breaks it. because of load order, it DOES attempt to compile the other one first and then it tries to compile the others over it but it will fail to compile

ive tried like 100 times before that method

[pliant latch]

If that were the case, then the original SSS wouldn't get overwritten by the stuff from cumulative because it loads after it

[modern knot]

then try it

and try to compile

[pliant latch]

I did

[modern knot]

we had like 4 people failing to compile until this method was found

so you legit just have shader cumulative pack above sss mod and its just working?

you are the first person to tell me that

[pliant latch]

yes

[modern knot]

clear your shader cache rn

and try to compile again

i doubt itll work

[pliant latch]

I do all the time when testing the changes I make

[modern knot]

then it fails on a per user basis

i legit JUST installed for my partner and hers failed to compile as well

this morning

and that fix made it work

i know that sounds fishy

but im serious

[pliant latch]

Yeah probably, I have seen other people with that issue, guess I'm just lucky

[modern knot]

also, when i was using the other method people have used to install, i didnt get the most recent update in its entirety. i got dof, but not the new ssr and puddle changes

because shader cumulative was compiling first

which was overwriting it not as a mod but in the shader cache folder

if cumulative is allowed to compile first then the changes from a mod coming after it(SSS) dont compile in shader cache and you are stuck with cumulative. because dof is a NEW file, you still get dof.

[pliant latch]

Nah, I've been making changes in the settings files for the updated sss and they are 100% overwriting cumulative

[modern knot]

yeah the config files do overwrite

you actually dont have to replace those

those are just on the list for good measure

screenspace_common is where the error was happening in compile

saw it in the logs

but yeah sss update 12 screenspace_reflections was not in effect until deleting the cumulative version

my reflections got MUCH better when i did that install

i had it working before as well and i could delete shader cache

but after doing it that way my wep reflects far more

and i had dof on both types of install

[pliant latch]

Look at my screenshot, the ssr is fine

[modern knot]

its sorta hard to gauge tbh

its subtle

but i took 2 side by sides

and it was better post new method

or at least different

i can see reflections are working, but he modified it slightly on the new one

its mostly not important since its not extremely significant

[pliant latch]

It's probably because the default sss settings are all low settings. Cumulative bumped some of them up.

So you had to increase them when you updated.

[modern knot]

if you bump them on the new ss even on a 3080 you are getting 30 fps

you are stuck on very low and low

medium for 3060 ti + with an fps hit

[pliant latch]

I'm not maxing the settings, but I'm also not having any issues on my 2070 at 1440p

[modern knot]

i am just skeptical its installed correctly for you still, but i trust your judgement to a degree

i just know that like 5 of us noticed the dif doing it this way

[south jungle]

So whats the conclusion, you need to use Shader cummulative or not?

[pliant latch]

Seems like try both ways, whichever works I guess

[modern knot]

what worked for me is deleting these files from cumulative so they never attempt to compile

[south jungle]

Its actually funny, I don't even know if SSS is running "properly" after the update

SSS before cumulative or after on load order?

[pliant latch]

I have it after

[modern knot]

you will always get dof, but you may not get proper reflection update and puddles if you dont update my way. some people dont,

after

the thing is, when you launch your client, the load order applies, and it WILL load shader cumulative first

[south jungle]

The FPS bump on update you guys was saying something about never happened here, same FPS as last version

[modern knot]

which will compile with those files first

then it will try to overwrite with SSS mod

but its already filled shader cache with cumulative

[south jungle]

Its like this here

[pliant latch]

I think it was because sss defaults to low settings, gamma bumped some of them up. After I increased it, it was back to "normal"

[modern knot]

but think about what i just said jyo

when the client is loading mods it pulls cumulative first

so it starts compiling with those instantly

and shader cache is not the same format

it cant just be overwritten

the compilation process doesnt go back or happen twice

[pliant latch]

What? It got overwritten by the new sss so it was higher fps. Im not sure what you mean

[modern knot]

because of the way it initiates

its fine, if it works for you np

anniversary update soon and it will all be as it should be anyway

[pliant latch]

My cumulative is under "Newly added addons" did you move it?

[south jungle]

My modlist are a mess after installing multiple texture and addons, and yes I moved it

[modern knot]

i moved mine, to ensure its loading before sss

[pliant latch]

Like I said, if that were the case, sss wouldn't be overwritten by cumulative.

[strange finch]

same but I use the github executable files

[modern knot]

i do too hippo

it WILL NOT compile for me

and others have this issue too

i HAD to delete shader cumulative files for it to compile correctly

it was attempting to compile with cumulative first

i saw it in the logs

its like, confirmed

theres no argument to whether or not that was happening

so idk

[pliant latch]

Must be a GPU specific issue or something

[modern knot]

i guess some people somehow are able to get the shader compilation to occur twice?

yea

basically once the compilation has started once, for me, it will not overwrite with another mods compilation

i cannot have two sets of shader compilation files

[pliant latch]

Then how did you launch gamma with both sss and cumulative before installing anything? That's what I don't get

[modern knot]

but you also need some of shader cumulative still, so you have to delete those files if you are in my position

and others were

it happened with update 12

many have complained about it if you search compilation error

there is definitely something going on, it is sorta beyond me, but the fix works

its a surefire way to install and know you have the newest stuff

i also got it to work before with a dif method, but i didnt have the new updates reflection and puddle stuff, only do

dof*

cuz dof is a new file.

[modern knot]

[modern knot]

New RTGI version of my reshade :]

[deep moon]

Looks great... what rig do you have?

[modern knot]

3060 ti i7 6700k

this preset is 50-60 fps, occasional 45 dip when sprinting across map

[deep moon]

what resolution?

[modern knot]

1440p

[deep moon]

weird, running a 2070 I5 7600k and barely manage to hit 60 😐

[modern knot]

on default? its mostly grass settings that kills it honestly

I dont have a far grass render distance

[rough spindle]

actually, not bad for a lod

[modern knot]

yeah except the lod is loading in front of actual models lmfao

[deep moon]

so how do i get my hands on that reshade 😉

[warm sierra]

your graphics are one of the best

[ashen ravine]

What settings/reshades should I do if I want my nights to be darker?

[warm sierra]

there is night options in regular pause menu settings

[ashen ravine]

Oh okay thanks

[vital violet]

Ok Chellenge accepted

[dusk kraken]

I didnt know anybody else but the player could wield melee weapons openly

[vital violet]

It's the first time I encounter something like this

that the enemy uses melee weapons

[vital violet]

This is the first time in history that this has happened

[dusk kraken]

Drop the rtgi

[modern knot]

?

[modern knot]

like get rid of it?

[strange finch]

He’s saying to give him the effect even though you’re not supposed to redistribute it

[modern knot]

Oh yeah I cant do that, but you can find it if you look around :]

[opaque summit]

off to scour the internet then

right cause its paid i forgot

[modern knot]

Yeah you can get it though, prob gonna be an old version.

[dusk kraken]

Why is he bald

[opaque summit]

should i just go for radiantgi

[modern knot]

you can, rtgi is significantly better though

even old version

[modern knot]

RTGI

[opaque summit]

damn that looks sick

[modern knot]

radiantgi

[opaque summit]

oh wow that is a massive difference

im liking the less contrasted look of radiant tho

[modern knot]

radiant cant achieve that lighting on the gun

your gun will be darker no matter what with radiant gi

and nights have some ao bleedthrough with radiant gi cuz of how light works

but yeah i still like the radiantgi one too, thats why i have em both :]

not everyone is gonna have rtgi

its also hard af to run

[opaque summit]

i should be fine on my 2070 super

seems to run reshades better than some peoples 30 series gpus in this server

[modern knot]

yeah youll be fine

[pliant latch]

I have a 2070s and the rtgi works fine

[opaque summit]

alr ill try both thanks guys

[strange finch]

HippoR right?

[quasi oak]

[willow pulsar]

I'm still undecided with what grass to go with. I'm currently using the autumn trees (green, yellow, red option) which grass is the best looking one? Ive always ended up going with the base anomaly one.

[snow prawn]

I love scripted firefights. The haul from this was pretty good. Even got an early SA-58

[sage steeple]

You got an old tv on top of your gun sir

https://tenor.com/view/old-tv-watching-tv-glitch-gif-15304101

[sage steeple]

[strange finch]

Love this

[exotic pewter]

EXP Edition really gives some brilliant blue skies I can't get over it

[violet briar]

my game wont ever look that good 😦

[pliant latch]

All you really need is a new reshade and some textures

[violet briar]

yeah today i just played with the sharpening one, and i need to turn my zone green again...read you can do that but havnt looked into it

[exotic pewter]

just turn off autumn textures, dead bushes, and gardener of the zone in mo2 for green textures back

[violet briar]

will check that tmmrw, thx

[exotic pewter]

don't ever smoke that gas station weed

[strange finch]

Don't forget shader params. Whether the default ones or custom ones

[pliant latch]

True

[violet briar]

yeah is there a way to import shader settings from another player?

[vital sequoia]

doesnt work on the pso it seems

emission

[opaque summit]

pso isnt variable

[vital sequoia]

i figured was just replying to grok. original grip was that the 4x pso has less zoom than a 3.5x PU. makes an upgrade feel like a bit of a comprimise

[vital sequoia]

gripe*

[lost frost]

nightstorm

[random wolf]

looks beautiful

what mods you using?

[lost frost]

gamma+agresor reshade, autum texture pack for the grass only, st2k flora overhaul 4k+one textures pack and custom light settigs for the agresor and in game options

[random wolf]

thx

[quartz cape]

wheres the top one??

[ember scaffold]

someone is not happy with monolith

[vagrant helm]

Is that in game DoF or a reshade?

[pliant latch]

It's from the new sss update. Should be added in the next gamma update.

[wooden ermine]

is that the summer test texture pack? thing slaps

[vagrant helm]

Oh okay, cool

[wooden ermine]

didn’t realise it was applied to animations yet, has there been another update?

or am i blind lmao

[pliant latch]

Yeah it just came out earlier today. DOF effects with the FDDA animations.

[wooden ermine]

dopeeeee hitting that up after work

[exotic pewter]

nah its default anomaly foliage with the grass optional file from agressor reshade (not the one in MO2)

[hard jolt]

aww i took it to late, but theres suppose to be 2 cats getting turned to a slurry by an anomaly in this sc

if you look close enough you can see some guts "blasting off again" like team rocket

[vital violet]

Ok just Ok

Melle Soldier

[wooden ermine]

did you use the new exes with the update, or the ones from 12.0?

[nova crescent]

posted out of order

but its fun to sit back and watch these two fight

[vernal rampart]

garbage

[nova crescent]

is this kenshi

did they... just make a fucking lurker....

[naive needle]

Army Wharehouse , north of the shed with acid anomaly near Freedom base.

[supple parrot]

Any idea why this happens? The black outline on distant stuff in fog

ruining my otherwise perfectly pretty game

seems like if i rotate my cam around, it dissapears at the edges of my screen

[torpid mauve]

try messing with current weather time/type in debug weather menu and see if changing any values may fix it

[supple parrot]

Seems some effect (non reshade) is interacting with the fog plane

might turn off ssao and see

thats my suspicion

ssao is not the answer

[warped crow]

i think something is wrong for me... when i see some screenshots around here, i think i am missing a lot of eye candy in my game - but don´t know why

shouldn´t there be any shadows in a room like this?

every option is on highest... changing ssao modes doesn´t make any difference and when i deactivate shaders the image just get´s a bit lighter, thats all... also outside

[sage steeple]

Try hippo reshade and ltx

Adds GI and AO

Really loving the summer season textures, good stuff

[wooden ermine]

i cant believe i have been using the engine aa instead of just cranking aa + supersample to 8x in control panel

[strange finch]

HippoR + Eden?

[timber bough]

I don't even know anymore I have that one screenshot taken with both

[ashen ravine]

Where can I find where it saves the screenshots

[north spoke]

dj is his passion even being kept hostage

[dire wasp]

holy shit

[normal warren]

whatever this means, i want it

[lunar thicket]

hehe

[pliant latch]

I've just been using the github exes, didn't change them when I updated to 12.2

[willow pulsar]

And how is the performance compared to just smaa or the other 2x 4x 8x options?

[steady wren]

So a psy-dog come into the ship and start biting Nimble
And Nimble is doing nothing, he just sitting there and staring at me while he's moaning for pain
Like he was saying "This is fine."

[naive needle]

dead autumn texture make the zone too gray and brown, disabling gamma autumn can help, using custom reshade and textures is also the biggest factor

[hard jolt]

thats a keeper

[lime veldt]

[still sierra]

That looks awesome do you use a shader pack?

[modern knot]

Most recent SSS mod update, Summer terrain and my reshade. #1041041642347573368

[opaque summit]

@modern knot any idea what i can do ab that little bleed thru in all but the ak12 pic?

from the tree in front of the apartment block building

[rancid saddle]

literally looks like a totally different zone to what im used too lol

[modern knot]

you running any kind of ao shine?

Looks like this is mostly gi though

harder to improve. if you could edit the blur itself that would help, unfortunately we dont have that option

The z thickness and specular/roughness sliders can sometimes help

[strange finch]

What about ao intensity?

[opaque summit]

hm alright

i don't really notice it too much so i wont fuck around w it

[modern knot]

Intensity absolutely

But ofc you lose some nice visual effect sometimes doing so.

My reshade is somewhat plagued by this issue rn.

[opaque summit]

yeah not rlly feeling like losing nice visual effects

[strange finch]

Radiant looking good

[opaque summit]

which one do u guys prefer? slightly dif preset

[opaque summit]

lol no radiantgi unfortunately

just a slight edit of your presets with hippoR.ltx

[strange finch]

Oh i thought this was ethans reshade

I’m not sure I’m on my phone

Can’t really do the side by side rn

[opaque summit]

yeah fair

[strange finch]

Currently disco elysium gaming while in the library on the deck lol

[modern knot]

thats sick af

[strange finch]

If my college library had faster Internet I’d connect home and play gamma through moonlight lol

[opaque summit]

stalker pda looking really realistic huh

[modern knot]

lmao

[opaque summit]

ppfx ssdo is a really nice addition to your presets hippo

[strange finch]

Yeah If not using rtgi ssdo is nice

[opaque summit]

and hqaa lite is kind of nice for extra detail on guns sometimes

[strange finch]

It was hit or miss for my taste

Anything in the middle of the default effects i tuned and are optional

[opaque summit]

thats fair, it isnt that great for general gameplay but for a reload screenshot its nice

ah i see

[strange finch]

Even if optional i tuned them so you can run them

Anything outside of the middle or the default i haven’t touched do you mileage may vary

[opaque summit]

just excluded for fps purposes or personal preference?

idk if the quality shows up but the puddles are looking real cute

fucking discord compression

[strange finch]

Depends like if you want rtgi why have pfx on

That sorta thing

So i just made them all optional for the user to try and tinker with

If they want more visual flavor

At the cost of fps

Same for radiant gi, you could run it with rtgi but the way i have rtgi set up doesn’t need radiant imo

Rtgi covers most of radiant covers

You get my point

Anyway go nuts!

[opaque summit]

yup makes sense

reckon rtgi will be publicly released at some point?

for free, that is

[strange finch]

Yeah idk when

Current version is .35

So if targeting 1.0 then it’s gonna be a while

But i don’t imagine it will be until then

Probably 0.5 i think is fair no idea though all speculation

[opaque summit]

1.0 would make the most sense

gets more money too

[strange finch]

True

[modern knot]

in some scenes the dof bleed is horrendous on mine, working on it rn exclusively but its a tough one to maintain my look

my look relies on the exagerated gi and ao, thats why i called it radiant in the first place

Im gonna NEED a dof cfg editor

for example, if i gaussian the entire scene, which means a dof blur edit would likely help me

[opaque summit]

oh wow that is a ton

maybe suggest it to author

[modern knot]

hes doing it already

just taking time

That is why radiant reshade looks how it looks, I cranked ao and gi to produce an extremely intense light source on everything.

Almost giving it a cartoon, but cinematic look

Disabling the in game reload and item usage dof is a must for some right now im sure.

[opaque summit]

its not that noticeable for the most part

i guess it depends

well ofc it depends but yk what i mean

[modern knot]

sure makes the rest of the scens look good though 😄 some new color tweaks

[opaque summit]

damnn nice

[near herald]

SHE did this. I was a bystander.

[still sierra]

@modern knot this is where i installed the reshade you made is this right?>

[modern knot]

put it in the same folder as the exe

that is where you need to install the effects though, like rtgi and glam

[still sierra]

can i dm you? I wont take much of your time it just saves me spamming this chat

[modern knot]

If you scroll to the top there is a detailed instruction on #1041041642347573368

Sure

[still sierra]

thank you

[tepid sonnet]

Hey, idk if this is the appropriate channel, but I've been having an issue with pools of water flickering.
It's really annoying and breaks the immersion of an otherwise great looking game.

I am running INVERNO and Hippo's Reshade, did both by the book, worked like a charm.
I randomly started having the issue very much afterward, seemingly for no reason.

Already searched throughout the discord for a solution, only one being "Turn off SSAO" or "Do you have an AMD card"
I tried turning off SSAO, no effect, and I'm running a 3080 Ti with updated drivers.
Get great performance but haven't found a way to solve this issue. If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate your help

[south jungle]

Looking really nice btw

[modern knot]

lush 😛

arma 3 tanoa vibes

[ocean tulip]

such a good game, probably wonderful for deck

[strange finch]

Agreed

[wooden ermine]

no joke +30-40 frames. i’m running in 1.75x DLDSR now and still getting 70+fps in highly grassed areas with nearly max grass coverage, sun shadows, rtgi, 8x AA 4x supersampling, and no/very small shimmering (only against clouded sky) with mipmap bias of -1.0 on a 16gb 3080ti. unreal how much the engine msaa and smaa cost.

[wooden ermine]

yep i ended up doing to this too, the new exes from moddb are kinda broken and dropping frames

[thin torrent]

So, it's my first time playing a faction friendly with the military. Figured I'd do some peaceful exploration in the Agroprom base. I now understand why the military are so dangerous.

They can float.

(For full clarity, I'm not ragging on the game or mods in any way - I thought this was fucking hilarious.)

[wooden ermine]

on DSDSR, it’s probably more performance friendly than actual AA and arguably better. the only downside is it will make text smaller, and increase sensitivity of the cursor in menus. but you can counter this with boomer scaling options and by setting in-game mouse dpi lower, and first person sensitivity higher

[willow pulsar]

Thanks. Yeah I noticed that. I kept miss clicking lol. For now I'm stuck with a 2060super. So I'm gonna stick to 1080p. Especially since like you, I wanna use RTGI. I have to choose between higher res or RTGI.

[wooden ermine]

good choice imo, lighting > resolution. can have all the pixels in the world, but if the scene looks trash what’s the point

If only there was someone who could make that happen

[warm sierra]

well then, good luck on making that mod, @cyan merlin

[jovial cedar]

This someone is you, you're the chosen one

First you'll have to make a spring addon, since this is the one season missing

[potent ferry]

I have a fucking screenshot for you

I just realised, 3 of those LLC's had artefacts in because I picked up too many on my trek through red forest. Even though I brought 15. Guess how much 3 LLC's cost?

[wooden ermine]

fields of bright flowers gently swaying in zone would actually be a vibe

[burnt forge]

I never saw the zone as a summer thing personally

Autumn is my fav, but spring?

Spring sounds really good

[wooden ermine]

i quite like the juxtaposition of a green temperate zone against the generally foreboding atmosphere of what happens there, ramping that up with a very european spring would be dope

like say what you want about the game, but i think far cry new dawn nailed a fertile post apocalyptic world in all the ways fallout has failed. the same lessons could make a great mod in gamma (also the plus side is that gamma is actually good lmao)

kingdom come deliverance also did this really well

[jovial cedar]

Like that ?

Her kits are detachable and interchangeable, so you can switch between stealthy sniper and Full Metal Rambo on a whim. She's not the prettiest, she doesn't shoot the farthest, or hit the hardest. She doesn't excel at anything, but she is just good enough at everything. Her description literally says she is "tailor made for survival in the Zone." And damnit, boys, when it comes to surviving in the Zone, good enough is fucking perfect.

[willow shale]

go in settings and remap toggle hud to whichever key you have

H instead is to hide the body paper doll to the bottom left

[worldly willow]

Is toggle hud a vanilla keybind, or from a mod (where one would find it)?

[willow shale]

go in settings -> control -> keybind

if I remember corecly

then scroll down and find the toggle hud key and change it
