What graphics packs do yous use?

@timid merlin what HD models and graphics do you use?

[spark fractal]

@raven lion That reshade preset you sent its legit, its exactly what Ive been looking for

[strange finch]

I also want this preset to test it out

[spark fractal]

Sent you a DM

[lunar crane]

nice flowers bro, what grass mod is it?

[spark fractal]

Just Aydins summer preset and trees

[lunar crane]

Then everything is clear

I'm thinking of using it in the Summer addon, Already using but not published yet

And in general, the Summer addon needs a different name

[spark fractal]

It's too good not to use

[lunar crane]

Now I have grass from Graupel (Summer to Autumn) is also very good. It is a pity that there are no updates to his addons

I want to make a mix of two addons at each location. Should look cool

[spark fractal]

If you did that, I think that would be the ultimate grass mod

[bronze vine]

Damn, that's pretty.

[burnt scroll]

Everything is black when using enhanced shader. How to fix it. ? I deactivated it in mo2. Still its black. Only can see inventory

[lavish jewel]

@spark fractal aydin's summer grass?

[spark fractal]

yesss sir

[lavish jewel]

@spark fractal just got that all set up with sss, enhanced grading, and atmospherics

[lavish jewel]

you ever have issues with high vram usage?

[spark fractal]

All the mods youll ever need

Nah not myself personally

[lavish jewel]

okay, do you run the ADEGA texture pack?

[lavish jewel]

that plus atmospherics, aydins grass (i know its better than gamma grass) and SSS is maxing out my 8gb of VRAM

[spark fractal]

I do indeed

[lavish jewel]

@spark fractal hey sorry for asking, but did you disable things like LVutn'ers Shader Corner Shadow Fix (224), Shader cumulative pack for GAMMA section (187)? The guide to install everything didn't mention them from what I know, but I wonder if I should disable them because they are messing with shaders? maybe thats my high vram?

[spark fractal]

All good, lemme check if they are unticked, I dont think I touched them tbh

They are both enabled

Im pretty sure hippos latest updates you have to have them enabled

[lavish jewel]

yeah okay good that means i did it correctly

using the beta right?

[spark fractal]

Well the latest is out of beta and is the stable version now

There will be another update at some point shortly with a new preset so hold on for that

[lavish jewel]

oh I did hippo's update, then manually went and updated the atmospherics, SSS and grass. with the beta you use jakus improved shaders loaded last, it looks amazing

ill switch back to stable version and see if my vram usage goes down, i would suggest checking out some screenshots of the beta stuff though, it's very exciting. adega is working on newer patch for next atmospheric release too

#1043020993687474186 message

[spark fractal]

The beta version is now the stable version, I think its 1.5.6 now

[lavish jewel]

link? i thought 1.5.6 was beta T_T maybe im thinking of hippos?

[spark fractal]

Yeah thats the right one but its now out of beta and just the stable version

[lapis linden]

I just saw your message. Its 4 oclock at night turned of my pc. Tomorrow i will share new version at atmos room. By the way, loved the leaf particles. Too immersive.

Another Day, Another Anomaly.

[clever badger]

To achieve the same picture, you need to install: Sreen Space Shaders+Hippo Shaders you will have different presets to choose from, you will need to choose HippoSnow, then in the settings of the reshade you need to enable: HDR+Ambient Light+Blooming_HDR

[spark fractal]

Holy god rays

[dusky fossil]

lol

[zenith shadow]

i have and im using the reshade but i dont know how to access HDR ambient... is that the filters in the HOME reshade option menu?

[clever badger]

yep

in the menu turn on Ambient Light Blooming HDR and just HDR

maybe you will need to enable HBAO

How?

[steady heart]

Not classy as an hippo but as someone who just came from 720p on a gtx 750 I'm more than happy

[tranquil storm]

yummy

[light prawn]

RAW, clear 1 at noon. I always like to test different visual mods by setting the time at noon. That's when lighting is the worst, other than night. This mod looks great but sometimes fog is a bit distracting. Also, AA is off for this one because I didn't feel like setting it up in the reshade or game settings. Visual mods used are Summer Season Redux, Aydin's Grass (summer grass and trees), and Rays of Anomalous Worlds (RAW)

[strange finch]

What preset/weather mod?

[signal stone]

default gamma

volumectric sun basically only thing i changed

[fickle meteor]

god DAMN

why they give the character so much cake

[umbral dune]

holy shit Griffith from Berserk is chillin in the outskirts no way

[strange finch]

Clear 1 noon should be much brighter than this

Same for foggy

[light prawn]

Hmm, I'll try to mess with it and see if I can get a different outcome. I'm not sure of what I did wrong

[strange finch]

You're good it's just an observation. Perhaps something with the install. Or how were you comparing them with weather debug?

[light prawn]

Weather debug, I hit play though

[strange finch]

But you didn't skip time in debug?

Because dynamic tonemapper conflicts with the debug

[light prawn]

That may be the reason then. Is there any good way to test weather's at specific times?

Sleeping possibly?

[strange finch]

Yeah sure "time_factor 100" in console to speed up time. Then set it back to default when done.

Or sleeping

And to double check you can double check your install with the guide on the moddb page.

[light prawn]

Yeah, I used the guide that was uploaded a few days ago

But ill check again

[strange finch]

Just make sure debug time matches ingame time

Like the time in the pda or minimap

[light prawn]

Ill delete the screenshots for now and do some more testing

Will do, thank you

[strange finch]

You're good that way you can make a proper comparison because I do really like raw.

One of my favorite weather mods aside from mine.

[light prawn]

Yeah same here. Both look great in different areas. It's very difficult to choose but I think having ES makes the difference here. Also, yours has more customization with reshade presets which is nice.

[strange finch]

Yeah but it's all a matter of preference at the end of the day

[fierce herald]

[heady narwhal]

These are just the vanilla anomaly mask overlays yeah?

[light prawn]

Alright, this time I didnt use debug. Hippo (left) vs RAW (right). AtmosR was the reshade I used with Hippo. I used the only reshade included in RAW. Time is ~2:25pm and weather is party cloudy I think. I didn't check the weather debug so I could be wrong on that

This is without any extra mods, other than some mods being disabled to get RAW working

RAW is very flat, but can easily be changed with reshade. Highlights are way too light as well. But even with better exposure, dynamic tonemap and enhanced shaders makes the difference in Hippo's mod.

[strange finch]

Are you using screenspace mode for RAW?

[light prawn]

what do you mean by screenspace mode?

[strange finch]

This is partly 1 in atmospherics 2:25 pm

[light prawn]

ill check real fast

I wish there was a guide for gamma with raw

[strange finch]

too many mods to disable

[light prawn]

Yeah

[strange finch]

cfg_load raw

[light prawn]

screen space is enabled

[strange finch]

i think

[light prawn]

I already did that too

[strange finch]

Yeah raw looked washed out there

[light prawn]

it does

[strange finch]

but even the picture you posted of atmospherics is a little dark

compared to mine

[light prawn]

I'm using default dev build settings. While following guides on each mod

fresh install as well

[steady heart]

yeah the optional addon you can enable

[strange finch]

partly same time with a different texture pack

[light prawn]

so for raw, I installed through mo2 since I get crashes with doing it manually. Then I disable dynamic tonemap, shaders cumulative, detectors es patch, beefs es patch, and sss es patch with no debanding

not sure if theres anything that I missed, but yours looks way different than mine

[strange finch]

Yeah not sure

[light prawn]

I also got the film workshop in the right spot. Oh well, maybe in future updates compatibility will be improved

and a gamma guide

also, what time was it in your screenshot? if you know

[strange finch]

same time you posted

[light prawn]

weird

I give up for now

Am I alone in this or does anyone else play just to take scenic shots 😄

how do i enable this ?

u need to download and install it separately

ouh

i will search for a new guide, wait a minute

its somewhere on MODDB

[steady heart]

I had one of there too, pretty aesthetic place

[spark fractal]

Yah damn right it is

[severe saffron]

miracle machine comin

right up!

cool how flashlights and headlamps don't work well and flicker in the psy emitters. so glowsticks are the GOAT here. throw one down the big elevator shaft at the start and shoot mutants. collect it for later

[severe saffron]

Pretty aesthetician place. Pfft yea. After bobbing and weaving between destroyed vehicles while being chased by a chimera, two lurkers, and a pack of flesh and boars. Plus only three campfires.

Pretty places can wait while I mow down mutants with my AK 74M and hope to survive enough to look at the scenery

[steady heart]

Is there any album comparisons of god rays on and off? I'm not sure if it's worth it, not a fan of the yellow tint but I don't know where this feature shines (pun intended)

[sudden magnet]

Hello guys, quick question if you don't mind. Is there a way to prevent bloom for affecting text/HUD ? Outdoor scenes are ok-ish (still playing with settings...) but inventory and text will make me blind... thx for your help 🙂

This was from yesterdays update

I was trying to order expert tools with PDA interactive addon and this happened.

[sturdy drift]

Can you send me your Reshade preset, and are you using any other graphic mods with it ?

[mossy mulch]

I've heard of the human centipede but this is a bit much

[light prawn]

UI mask in reshade maybe. But I know nothing about it

[spark fractal]

What mod is this for the pda?

[jovial cedar]

"Sure I can deliver your Expert tools, buddy, just come near the CNPP, transaction will be quick I promise"

[normal dawn]

Winter

[ember scaffold]

its the interactive PDA mod

[sudden magnet]

Hey Straff, thx for your answer. I played a bit with UI mask, but it doesn't do a thing (I might not use it as intended...). But by turning the "Adaptation" setting to "Off" (see screenshot) its a lot better though 🙂 I'm still experimenting some stuff, but I have a hard time to set this whole thing right, something looks off, but I can't say what... Its the same settings everywhere, only the weather change. What do you guis think ? Thx again 🙂

[strange finch]

Es 1.10?

[lunar crane]

yes this version

[strange finch]

It looks phenomenal

What sky textures are you using?

[lunar crane]

Only yours, the presets are also yours

[strange finch]

It looks great

You’ve done a good job

[lunar crane]

Oh thanks

I just can't figure out why it's so bright, inside

reset settings and now it's ok

[mint bough]

man this looks magnificient @spark fractal

[jovial cedar]

I think they're looking great honestly, just make sure to have enough light on the ground as it would realistically be cast even by a dark sky, and not completely losing the sun in a ball of light either

[spark fractal]

Enjoy my dude

[jovial cedar]

@lunar crane Hey just wanted to ask, I'm planning on downloading all your packs (because quality obviously ), is there a release planned for an upcoming Golden Autumn version ?

[lunar crane]

Yeah but work still in progress, first will be summer I think

[jovial cedar]

Thanks, I'll get the last version for the moment then 🙂

Will help me test out stuff in my favorite environment xD

[zenith shadow]

Am I doing it right?

[scarlet herald]

@zenith shadow yea bro. What’s your reshades?

[zenith shadow]

Hippos atmospherics with es1.10 and latest sss

[zenith shadow]

Basically his 1.57.7 which is the latest version if he hasn't updated

[zenith shadow]

Which ini preset are you using

[lunar crane]

atmosr

[burnt scroll]

Immediately reply how much gb worth of stalker screenshot you have !?? 😁😁

[zenith shadow]

I would say YES

[zenith shadow]

But did u tweak it to your own liking coz mine don't look 1:1 like it

[lunar crane]

No, I haven't edited anything. ES+SSS, Atmospherics. Only edited the quality, in the shader settings.

[jolly flicker]

HOWWW

[zenith shadow]

Is it easy to edit the quality in the shader settings and how do you manage it?

[lunar crane]

open file settings screenspace_ ssr, sss, water etc

[zealous orchid]

bruh.....

blocking the zone

[zealous orchid]

wait so is my save ruined now cuz this anomaly is blocking my exit? XD

[jovial cedar]

I see a window right there xD

[zealous orchid]

if only

[jovial cedar]

Debug mode otherwise, unless you're doing an Invictus run

[zealous orchid]

wait is there even a way to remove anomalys with debug?

[spark fractal]

No but you can god mode and walk through

[zealous orchid]

oh well then rip

cuz no way i will ahve to god mode every time i need to go threw checkpoint XD

[jovial cedar]

Debug Mode allows you to use free camera mode, you can just clip through the wall, no need to be invincible

[zealous orchid]

i reloaded a save to fix it, and disabled the anomaly

[jovial cedar]

Well, I guess that also works

[willow shale]

you could have simply gone back to garbage and take other exit to cordon

[proper veldt]

mmmm
roubles~

[zealous orchid]

its fine, disabling the weird invisable cubes was a better choice XD

[jolly flicker]

what textures used and reshade?

[strange finch]

Atmospherics + Manfred's own custom reshade. Based off my previous pm with Manfred.

[jolly flicker]

atmosperhics gamma?

[strange finch]

Yup

[jolly flicker]

you think its a good load order for them mods?

[strange finch]

Yeah

[jolly flicker]

this too>

[strange finch]

Correct

[jolly flicker]

cuz im always confused which mod has to go where

to make it work

[strange finch]

Your screenshots are good I dont think you need to be envious

and your install is good too

[jolly flicker]

oki thank you

any like Custom textures? like GTR textures?

[spark fractal]

You gonna add the preset? Looks real good

[strange finch]

If he dms me the updated version and wants me too sure

[jolly flicker]

hey you know about the Screen space shaders
how do i make puddles appear quicker?

[strange finch]

says so on screen space shaders moddb page

[jolly flicker]

thank you <3333

yeah i did it and I think the mod doesn't work for me
the puddles dont appear

[strange finch]

dont use debug

or if you are make sure to press play

after setting the weather

[jolly flicker]

okay ill try it

[jolly flicker]

it works when i press play

[strange finch]

Yeah debug is weird

[jolly flicker]

what could i change?

to make it look better?

[strange finch]

Nothing besides updating whenever I release new updates

[spark fractal]

Big fan of this look

[mint bough]

I FUCKING LOVE [REDACTED] MONEEEYY!!!!!

good shit <333

[lapis linden]

AMD or older graphics cards have this problem, especially when they switch to Vulkan, but I think the Soft Water setting should fix this problem! The latest version of Screen Space Shaders also fixes this problem

what did you use to get it to look so green? It looks like the film I love it

[heady narwhal]

Reshade make the foliage green asf?

After a few runs with project INVERNO I want my stalker to look like the film

[strange finch]

Atmospherics 1.61 will do that for you

Also genuinely considering buying a 3070 rn

its gamma
but I've changed a few things

1. using OG weather from Anomaly 1.5.2
2. using OG vegetation

yo where do I get this kind of grass/foliage from? The atmospherics? can I have the link? 😮

is this meadows? they seem stuck

[orchid drum]

this is so cool. Gonna be an amazing weapon pack when released

[woeful glacier]

As I get my new gpu installed i miss my PC and Stalker

[normal dawn]

...why? Don't you just plug it in, boot up the game and play? Is there something else you're doing?

[woeful glacier]

I fear i will break something or short circuit something. Would rather have a professional do it

[normal dawn]

You can't really mess up a GPU upgrade, but as you wish

[woeful glacier]

I feel dumb for admiting it, but i have not worked on hardware in a PC in ages. When I got all the parts for my current PC a few years ago it all felt alien

[supple oar]

youtube is your friend

a 5 year old can put one together after watching a few videos

[supple oar]

watch as many as you want until your confidant

its a lot cheaper then paying someone else and you will have more pride in your set up when you do it your self

[jovial cedar]

Besides, a GPU is much easier to install than a CPU, as long as you did your homework and ensured that your new GPU will be compatible with the CPU and your motherboard

Make sure everything is well turned off, and unplugged, especially the power supply

[woeful glacier]

Appreciate it

[zealous orchid]

does anyone know if i can adjust the sky brightness? or bloom?, its hard to see everything else when the cloudy sky is as bright as someone using light mode.

[lapis linden]

Oh, the contrast...

You should ask in #🔨base-gamma-support as this seems to be out of the ordinary. Other than that you could disable "GAMMA weathers" in MO2 which allegedly improves it but I personally haven't tried it. A 3rd option is to play around with 3 ingame commands and see which one works best. For that you need to first enable debug mode (check the link below on how to do that) and then start the game and load a save file. Once in, press 0 to open the console (which might be a different key depending on your keyboard layout) and check the values of these 3 commands:

1. r2_sun_lumscale
2. r2_sun_lumscale_amb
3. r2_sun_lumscale_hemi

When you start typing them in the console you'll see suggestions and use the arrows to select them, you don't need to type in everything. Once you do tho you'll see the current value for the given command. Try adding different values to each and see what works best. For example type in r2_sun_lumscale_amb 3 and hit Enter, then the value changes to your set value, 3. Keep in mind these have to be between the ranges which are shown when you type in the command

I don't remember exactly what each of these do, but afaik the first an overall brightness or so, the second is the brightness of the terrain and the 3rd is either a combination of both or just the sky. Once you found acceptable values go to the pause menu (Esc) --> MCM settings --> Dynamic tonemap --> scroll down and you'll see the same values represented by sliders for these commands. You'll see minimum and maximum values between which the game will dynamically adjust them. Drag the sliders to roughly match your preferred brightness based on your testing with the console commands

ty for the help ❤️

[strange finch]

Screenshots like these make me feel like atmospherics was worth it in the end

something I just walk through the game and I'm like this isn't all that special

so this is reassuring

[vast moon]

looks really cool.

What addons are you using ?

[ionic sequoia]

It is meadow idd and yes they were stuck but i bumped into them & unstuck them

[devout fjord]

AMAZING ss! Is that custom sky?

[strange finch]

It was worth it good sir. Your contribution is precious to stalker community. Every contributions tiny or big adds up and makes a community wholesome

[devout fjord]

Because of you I haven't played any of my other AAA games that I have installed. You've brought back life to a game I stopped playing over a year ago, and now I find myself trying to get some playing time here and there when I can. lol

How did you make your weapon shade like this? Is it ES + SSS or smth?

[compact wedge]

it's just es/sss + hippo shader

also the gun model/texture? is nice quality

may not look good on the rest of the weapons, depending on the port uality

You've released mods for fo4? I used to love that game, what have you put out?

[woeful glacier]

What is that in your top right corner?

What version are you on? I have the latest Inverno and mine doesn't have it. Is it any good or an interesting addition?

[ember scaffold]

not sure

[strange finch]

Atmospherics?

Can you send me your reshade for it again?

[nimble otter]

yes and yes

[nimble otter]

also started using GTR textures

[pliant agate]

The health Bar on bottom left and how duty member looks is like something out of fallout

[strange finch]

Perhaps make a potato version of gtr? Someone made a potato version of adega with similar results. I’m pretty sure @compact flower did so.

But I prefer vanilla asphalt to beta gtr asphalt

[buoyant pumice]

I used to downscale some gtr textures before using them. Theres 8k textures in this pack... and some are 4k for no reason imo

[strange finch]

Yeah 2k is a nice sweet spot

[zealous orchid]

is there a reason why my ingame skys always look so... bright? itsn nothing what i see everyone else have (this is with hippo shaders.) is the sky simply bugged or what? i even removed the clear skys and only have storms on but i still get the same weather.

[echo flame]

Oh no I meant playing it haha

[echo flame]

Fallout 76 that is, I had a bunch of stuff made for fallout 4 that never made it into the game, some of that ended up in radium but it's all gone now.

Thanks @burnt scroll 😊 . Don't feel so bad. Even at these specs I'm getting at best 45-50 FPS. Gamma Mod can humble your gaming PC. AAA games run smooth like butter though 👌 And yes on a 21:9 gaming monitor. 👍

where does this rainbow fx come from at the end? I still don't know exactly

[quasi oak]

seems like a lensflare fx; are lensflares enabled with any headgear? because it would be cool if it somehow only applies to helmets with screens

[willow shale]

What I mean is which mod is from, like Screenspace shaders latest version, ES, project inverno etc.

[strange finch]

suns.ltx

[willow shale]

Cloud Lab

most weather modification mods have a sun.ltx, which one is it originally? Because for me is something new

[naive needle]

that straight up looks like a place you will be holding in a last stand zombie game , missing only lamp posts and sandbags on the top

[rugged marsh]

that actually looks sick, what have you added to the default?

[torpid elm]

grass mod?

[naive needle]

you don't need custom reshade , 20 texture addons and weather mods to kill your fps, just increase your grass settings in vanilla 😄

[lucid lintel]

Is the flora red like that in vanilla? If no what mod makes it that way? Looks really nice

[teal sphinx]

That's #1053707300080209961

Summer one

With #1036172060969410590

[lucid lintel]

Thanks

[teal sphinx]

Also the reshade, ofc

[devout fjord]

Aside from latest Atmos, I added GTR textures and HOLLYWOODFX V3.1 https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hollywoodfx3/. Plus I've enabled HDR in Reshade, and some customization settings to get the blacks to really pop.

Oh, and mxao.fx in reshade

[devout fjord]

That's my cup of tea right there! Very nice.

[clever badger]

when you can't see what you're shooting at, it must be good

[crimson mango]

you gotta either have some mod conflicts or ur in game settings are too high

or ur using some really intensive reshade because 40 fps is crazy with those specs

the trees look nice af though

[teal sphinx]

Cpu bottleneck

Thats why fps is that low

[ember scaffold]

yeah I see it now.

[flat tartan]

Hey sorry mate I deleted it. Didn’t want to spoil it for people and don’t know how to add a tag

[compact wedge]

np, idk if it's the same for mobile, but there's a eye icon when uploading a image

clicking it, puts the spoiler tag in the attached images or video

[devout fjord]

Not sure if that's a bad thing... lol. Atmos is a game changer. It's worth it!

[compact wedge]

how are you installing? no idea why you nuking your own game lol
every mod must be installed with MO2, that's why if something goes wrong, you just untick the mods you added and keep playing

[rugged marsh]

i think i followed an outdated guide, from hippos youtube, but im not sure what happend. xD
i did install it via mo2, but even after unticking, there were still a lot of texture bugs. as i reinstalled gamma my saves were also gone, but i think i could keep them now, bc i know where they are.

[compact wedge]

remember that each time you install/uninstall mods that are related to shaders , you need to clear the shader cache

[rugged marsh]

defiantly nothing to do with the shader or the guide, its purely my stupidity for sure 😄

[rugged marsh]

i wouldnt even know how.

[willow shale]

hmm wondering what the S2 leak was all about. anything serious?

[devout fjord]

I stumbled upon that too on Reddit. Apparently, they leaked the main plot, and some action screenshots. **SPOILER **---> https://escorenews.com/en/news/44966-huge-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-leak-screenshots-world-map-gameplay-anomalies-storyline-and-character-details

Is that a vanilla anomaly ak

What did you do to it

[crimson mango]

kinda cursed

[torn kite]

That look like an rpk
And the lee enfield is vursed yes since it reload with a magazine

[heady narwhal]

It is

[crimson mango]

ah yeah it is the rpk

[heady narwhal]

But the vanilla rpk and ak are almost identical

My point still stands

Oh boy I can't wait to have it in GAMMA by default

[floral isle]

Yeah I'm just gonna wait for .9 and not really bother for now, we're not far from release anyway. Plenty of time to get the hang of the mod until then

[abstract marten]

and gamma by default already looks very nice

[floral isle]

sure does ! I tried very briefly a couple of months ago but without any tutorial or anything, so I was hit pretty hard with the difficulty 😄 But I'm giving it another chance and properly watch tutorials on how to start well. It would be a shame to miss the experience

Waste a few hours figuring out how to install mods properly, then find a mod to install and waste another few hours to make it look good👍
