[tough zinc]

Mine looked like this before the big patch and this was with Eden’s shaders and a different texture pack for grass n such

Yantar ofc

[jovial cedar]

Isn't that one screen I've taken before ? x)

[tough zinc]

You might’ve, I do remember doing this myself through I spent like 45 minutes trying to frame the shot

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, it reminds me of my style of framing x)

As for the shaders, these are way to expensive fps wise

[tough zinc]

They were lovely shaders

Mans knows how to make em

even if it did beat your performance a tad bit

[jovial cedar]

I might redo a preset in the future, but oh well, so many things to do x)

[tough zinc]

Confirmed possible sequel

What projects are you up to these days

[jovial cedar]

It would be basically just another Atmospherics preset x)

[tough zinc]

Hot

Let me at it

[jovial cedar]

Making Lost to the Zone questlines for all six remaining factions

[tough zinc]

Oh damn lovely, that’s super exciting

[jovial cedar]

Bandits are done, but Monolith is giving me a run for my money x)

[tough zinc]

Crazy cult man

Finds the light and repents

[jovial cedar]

I'm trying to implement some ideas but I'm getting LUAed after LUAed x)

[tough zinc]

Oh no

[jovial cedar]

I guess I'll figure it out, once I'm done with the first quest, it should go much more smoothly

[tough zinc]

Wonderful

I have always wondered what would happen if the very thing they preach to was destroyed what would happen

[jovial cedar]

I'm planning two branches actually

A-side and B-side

[tough zinc]

Let’s goo

[jovial cedar]

Which one you get depends on your very first quest decision

[tough zinc]

And is this just gonna be something you can put into stalker via mod or are you gonna have it work with gamma

[jovial cedar]

It's made for GAMMA specifically

[tough zinc]

Beautiful

[jovial cedar]

But someone with a little bit of brain can adapt it for EFP or even Anomaly

I won't post it on moddb though

[tough zinc]

I’m sure someone would patch it for it if they really want it

[jovial cedar]

They'd have to come to this server to get it

[tough zinc]

Which I’d say is highly likely

Gamma squad ftw

[jovial cedar]

I'll make a first release when I'm done with at least Bandits, Monolith and Military

Then release the second batch when done with Renegade, Sin and UNISG

[tough zinc]

I was about to ask about UNISG

I didn’t think they had anything

[jovial cedar]

Neither did Bandits actually

[tough zinc]

But was never 100% sure

[jovial cedar]

But UNISG has Hollow Boundaries

[tough zinc]

I find it strange bandits don’t have some story for them

[jovial cedar]

Fixed that x)

[tough zinc]

Which is great

[jovial cedar]

Military and UNISG are "just" about making them have Living Legend questlines mixed with Hidden Threat (Military) and Hollow Boundaries (UNISG)

The "just" is the big part

Because the way the author did these are quite messy in my opinion

[tough zinc]

So you can do the main quest but besides that there is nothing else

[jovial cedar]

Yup, but still, it puts all six new factions to the same level at the main six

Meaning replayability and invictus for each

And I'm editing everything

[tough zinc]

Isn’t there something about UNISG fighting the special forces of the military in the zone

[jovial cedar]

Yup

[tough zinc]

I know that is a little quest thing for the military but other than that

I don’t think there is anything else sadly

[jovial cedar]

Basically HT and HB are a condensed main quest for Military and UNISG

Respectively

[tough zinc]

Aha

[coarse talon]

just grabbed the new atmos update and manfreds new reshade, holy

i wanted to try out the winter grass, dont bully me, i was getting tired of 🟩 24/7

[tough zinc]

I think it just blends a bit too much together

[coarse talon]

i agree, was just checking it out, might give autumn a go

I wanted a more desolate zone a go, rather pure green

[tough zinc]

I would give autumn a go

It would help give contrast

[coarse talon]

might do autumn grass and winter tress, got the atmos option where it snows sometimes

[south crypt]

Where is bro looking 🤨

[tough zinc]

Man is seeing Jesus

[buoyant hedge]

can someone tell me why my fog does this, if enabled via debugger

[coarse talon]

hes staring at the sun to build up resistance

[tough zinc]

Oh boy

[buoyant hedge]

please help

i'm never going to use debug, i just wanted to take the fog awaym but this is how it looks like

so if i have fog again yeah

any ideas?

[drifting pulsar]

Have You deleted shader cache manually?

[buoyant hedge]

yes

like in the destance it does it aswell, idk wtf is going on

[nimble otter]

the neutral reshade preset was tweaked for the spring grass so idk how well it would look with the others

[buoyant hedge]

can any1 else assist on the above mentioned bug that i have

[coarse talon]

ill post one of autumn grass later, will change when im back on it

[tough zinc]

Are you trying to get rid of fog altogether

Or what is the goal

[buoyant hedge]

all that white, that isn't how fog is supposed to look like, my game seems fucked

[jaunty palm]

you're playing with the debug menu...

does it look that way without using debug?

[buoyant hedge]

yes

[tough zinc]

It honestly should be fine if it was default

[jaunty palm]

yeah

[buoyant hedge]

you can still see it here in the distance, without debug and when i re-installed

[jaunty palm]

what have you added/modified?

[tough zinc]

I’ve updated gamma three times in the last week

And it’s been grand

[jaunty palm]

same

[buoyant hedge]

nothing much, just weapons mods, aydisn hud and ui tweaks 3

[jaunty palm]

running one of the DX11 exe via the launcher?

nothing much...

[buoyant hedge]

yes i'm on dx11 avx

yes, it's like 6 extra weapons and then aydins ui and hud

[jaunty palm]

and if you disable everything you've added, and run just default GAMMA, what does it look like

go back to the default 380 mods

[buoyant hedge]

same

[jaunty palm]

nevermind, you have a chat in support now, that's the better place for this

[buoyant hedge]

is this default gamma clouds?

[tough zinc]

For the most part yes it should be, clouds are aimed at helping your horizon not clip in and out horribly while also looking good as hell or at least that’s what i consider them used for

[buoyant hedge]

idk, my clouds doesn't look this nice

but oh well

[tough zinc]

I’ll see when I get home and take a picture but it honestly depends on what everyone’s using

[tough zinc]

I don’t have debug on

[opaque bridge]

Retrogue Additional Weapons-Ammo, Chainsaw

[tough zinc]

Damn that sky looks absolutely incredible

[random flame]

Hippos Atmosphere

[buoyant hedge]

can you link me, idk if i downloaed the right one

[random flame]

Gamma Weather and Skies Redux

it is all included in the normal gamma DL.

[buoyant hedge]

isn't there a new atmosphere that hippo made

[random flame]

Yup: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

You will have to update it manually.

Until Grok include the update in a new gamma release.

[tough zinc]

Are you seeing Jesus

[rapid tide]

yes

[tough zinc]

Because god damn that is some mad contrast and bloom

[rapid tide]

I like it cause of my screen contrast but it probably doesn't come up on others screens the same

I use escape from tarkov screen settings so my whole monitor screen is changed lmao

I never took the time to change it

[jovial cedar]

Nope, it comes on my screen as if I'm going to die in the blinding light of death x)

[tough zinc]

^

[rapid tide]

it's god sending a sign

[tough zinc]

You look like you’ve been gazing at the sun for so long

[coarse talon]

looks worse than a flashbang going off, its so bright

[rapid tide]

vitamin D chad

[jovial cedar]

It's almost comparable as debug storm weathers xD

[rapid tide]

maybe it is

[jovial cedar]

Oh believe me, that's not xD

That one is literally the end of the world

[rapid tide]

yea it's me messing with some of the bloom and dpx and hdr

can you feel the sunshine

also never knew you could have lamps as a light source

[buoyant hedge]

@rapid tide those mods done yet

[rapid tide]

yea just finished

[buoyant hedge]

thanks buddy, mind sending it via dm too

[rapid tide]

yea I can

[tough zinc]

Why the gun be looking brighter than the sky itself

[coarse talon]

couldnt tell you, its atmosGamma with gloomAO

checked, its not gloom doing it

[candid shore]

heaviest silent hill fog ever

[jovial cedar]

Found some old shots in my collection, those were good times x)

[candid shore]

i also have this one leftover from yesterday

[coarse talon]

@strange finch do you have any suggested brightness/saturation/gamma levels for Atmos and especially its reshades?

[buoyant hedge]

should i completely remove the old one from m02?

[rapid tide]

which mod

[buoyant hedge]

the new atmospherics of hippo

should i delet it in here and in m02?

[rapid tide]

if you delete it in mo2, it deletes from the mods folder

but yes delete the old one and replace it with the new one

or just replace over the old one

[buoyant hedge]

alrght

[buoyant hedge]

@strange finch maybe you can assist me in some shader problem i have when you have time, been asking a couple of mods now ain't they don't seem to know either

[peak bough]

Gonna look for Kolya in GAMMA (he died in my SOC playthrough )

[clever badger]

blood tracking mods crazy

[coarse talon]

because a freedom bounty squad decided to rush me inside of my hideout in Skadovsk, I now have to sleep next to Oleg Bully

[sharp ruin]

Enjoying my new gpu, all settings maxed out

[random flame]

all settings maxed out? Grass slider too? 😄

Nevermind. Looking good!

[coral sable]

No GPU in the world can handle this without creating a second sun lol

[rapid tide]

those shotguns in game or no?

[prisma nymph]

folk hero moment

[spiral mural]

Is that the Ingame G3?

[rapid tide]

No it is from the RWAP pack

[spiral mural]

oofs

[rapid tide]

I have them if you want them though, I compiled all extra gun mods in a clean pack

[spiral mural]

I don't Really know how to add extra Mods into the Already Pack

[rapid tide]

ah makes sense, it isn't super hard, if ever interested I have a pack made for the extra guns I use but all the guns are found in the mod-posting channel

[spiral mural]

Yea idm, Im always up for adding more weapons into the game honestly lmao

[bronze yew]

Don’t bother with asking @compact wedge about mods. He gatekeeps and always just flexes.

[rapid tide]

you can try this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hBV6HpuoBh88BCpvaRCwaI5M8qtnWaGO/view?usp=sharing just a compilation of all the extra mods I'm using in my own playthrough, all found on the server in mod-posting section, just in a neat layout and fitted all together. Brand new update, gave 4 contract war mod packs and gunslinger desert eagle and some bonus addons

[slender junco]

ooo very nice

[spiral mural]

I need to figure out how to add moves to the Normal Modpack XD

[rapid tide]

it's simple you just open the mod folder in GAMMA rc3

[slender junco]

i need to figure out if there's a way to pause the game without opening the pause menu so i can take more unique screenshots lol

[rapid tide]

you can use a no clip function

idk if it works but

[slender junco]

i dont think that would pause the game, though

[rapid tide]

oh probably not yea

it could though

I know skyrim no clip does but would you like the console command just to try it or no

[slender junco]

sure!

[rapid tide]

demo_record 1 would be the command, I tried it once but never fully got into trying it out for anything

[slender junco]

i've never used the console before lol-

[slender junco]

alr, i'll give it a try

no it doesnt look like it pauses

[rapid tide]

yea I tried it and it doesn't seem to

[slender junco]

oh well

[rapid tide]

got this cool shot though

[slender junco]

niceee

[slender junco]

remember to stay hydrated

[rapid tide]

hydration is key for sprinting and lots of energy drinks

[slender junco]

fr

[rapid tide]

oh a new shotgun came out on moddb the Benelli

made by LEWD

ah hell yes

[slender junco]

taking the name of the game a little too seriously- (been stalking this military guy for like an in game hour waiting for him to move so i can get a good shot lmao)

i wish weapon sway would decrease if you went prone- kinda defeats the purpose of a sniper lol

[rapid tide]

they have two lmg styled stationary guns on both ends of the camp so be wary of that

[slender junco]

ooo interesting

[rapid tide]

one is on the stairs on the left side and on is stationed pointing at where you enter garbage

[slender junco]

counter argument-

disguise go brr

[spiral mural]

So legitmately just Drag and Drop into the Mod Folder?

[rapid tide]

yep

and refresh

[chrome hare]

how do i download this pack?

[rapid tide]

you can use this, it has the RWAP files all in one and ATHI weapon mods as well and Pievure Armement and Weapon Pack 0.3

it will give you what he has in that photo

the rwap files are numbered as well so easy setup

[slender junco]

"You can never have too much ammo"

i think i have too much ammo

[rapid tide]

I always have too much ammo as well, I like to carry like 300 rounds of everything and wonder why I'm not sprinting anymore

[slender junco]

1597 reserve + 141 in mags lol

and thats just for one gun-

[rapid tide]

You're a one man army

[slender junco]

frr

that plus 20kg in meds-

i have a problem lmao

[rapid tide]

xd it's okay I be carrying 20 medkits

[slender junco]

i have no excuses-

[spiral mural]

lmao I must of not put it In correctly

[rapid tide]

you placed the 314.5 patch above 314 retrogue weapons right?

for rwap

[spiral mural]

(they are Disabled im dumb AF)

[rapid tide]

oh haha

[spiral mural]

[rapid tide]

it's okay xd

blew his head off apparently

[spiral mural]

Last Question Do AI Spawn with these Weapons Sometimes>? I just check the Debug to make ssure they were in

[rapid tide]

yes they are all fitted into npc kits at random, I've found many rwap guns but most can be found where mercs lay, usually limansk, all of them are just by chance like any of the other guns

same for athi and the other weapon mods

or unisg for those tactical kitted out ones

you just find them by luck

[spiral mural]

Awesome!

thank you for the pack

[rapid tide]

you're welcome, someone asked the same thing to me so I just made a compile of all of it to make it simple plus they deserve some love cause these guns are amazing

[spiral mural]

now i need to Find which button is the Inspection button

[rapid tide]

Oh its disabled by default but triggers when grabbing a new gun and or standing still with it in hand for about 15 seconds or so

[spiral mural]

How do I Undisable it lmao

[rapid tide]

I just get Inspect Weapon mod from moddb and smack it at the end of my load order

[spiral mural]

Ahh

makes sense

[iron shadow]

lmao

[ancient walrus]

damn i love me a swamp sunset

[desert adder]

Cig definitely adds that atmosphere

[compact wedge]

No, they are part of CWWP

, heres the showcase, also posted in #╟🎮stalker-videos📹
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL_rQ9nGkCI

[peak bough]

Looks cozy even though it's a swamp lol

[buoyant hedge]

do any of you know if there is a way to remove fog or to reduce it very much

i've seen so many screenshots with people without fog

[devout fjord]

I personally just manually change it in the weather editor when I don't want it.

[abstract marten]

beautiful ❤️

[buoyant hedge]

zameus you still on?

i want your fucking clouds

i dunno why my clouds are so shit

[hoary valley]

does anyone know how to get those nice blowout weathers cause my sky isint like that in emmitions etc

like that

[warm sierra]

that looks gorgeous

[devout fjord]

Tomorrow bro

[buoyant hedge]

all good, cya

[errant yew]

What icon mod do you use, the armor looks great

[umbral atlas]

the rookie experience

[hoary valley]

any know how to get skys like this

[gaunt falcon]

what the fuck?

theyre all just ganging up one bandit

[rapid tide]

Im currently using maids icons you reinstall it via mo2

[rapid tide]

You got hit by either an emission or psy storm

[rapid tide]

updated this

[carmine scaffold]

Scary

[thorny mist]

[ripe rapids]

Ultima is my beloved

How can I install this pack on gamma?

[warm sierra]

hippo atmos, expedition
shuffles card deck
gunslinger

[robust carbon]

That look gud

[rapid comet]

I didn't realise gunslinger had its own weather mod

[warm sierra]

john gunslinger is a talent

[inland mango]

stalker 2 arrived early

[kindred aspen]

1 hour of starting Duty save, idk what to do with all these guns

[coarse talon]

Stick with the mosin, stay hobo, stay cool

[random flame]

Thank you man and to the guys who did this. Always nice to have a greater varity of guns. I will test this in my normal run before i start another invictus and test it out, if some guns don`t fit. 🙂

[rapid tide]

yea some of the guns don't really fit for stalker but they're nice

also added a provak 2K google drive just under it for 4k weapon textures and 2k sky texture idk if they work fully but I have them on my run

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uTbspgZQcagrg_koPI5MjeQyDQByr40L/view?usp=share_link

[chilly sundial]

post blowout gamma looks too good

[icy spear]

Anyone ever find a fix for the weird tree visuals with fog ??

[gaunt falcon]

Does this work mid-save?

[timid cedar]

That looks insanely good

[rapid tide]

but it should work mid playthrough

[gaunt falcon]

Cool thanks. I'll take that risk.

[rapid tide]

the guns do work mid playthrough

thought you was on about the provak textures but no the gun mods work mid play I tested it

[gaunt falcon]

Oh hahahaha my bad I shouldve clarified, awesome.

[rapid tide]

yea it's fine xd

they indeed work

all tested by me as well and all combined together

in my run that is

[rapid tide]

ah man that sky is beautiful

[split granite]

Stalker 2 already?

[nimble otter]

Are you using the ingame anti-aliasing? That looks like a side effect of it

[icy spear]

I am yeah I have It on times 4 atm, should I try turning It off ?

Yeah turned It off and restarted my game and that seemed to sort It 😄 thanks 👍

[nimble otter]

Yeah if you want to deal with the aliasing, I recommend playing at a higher resolution, use dldsr, or use reshade AA

[icy spear]

I tried DLDSR And It made my text super small, Is there a way to change that ?

[nimble otter]

There are some font mods that help with that. (Might already have a mod in gamma that is disabled.)

[rapid tide]

there's a font change in mo2 gamma fixes at the bottom of it

or wait could be in newly added addons actually

should be called like Fonts anomaly or something

[icy spear]

I'll have a look and give DLDSR Another shot

[rapid tide]

if not you can change dldsr settings as well I believe, never used it though

[icy spear]

I'm guessing It's one of these??

[nimble otter]

Yeah, either use the 2k or 4k version

[hoary valley]

does atmos not let the blowout weather happen ?

[remote niche]

this game looks amazing at daybreak

[hoary valley]

how do you get that weather

[solid creek]

It was a blowout

[hoary valley]

i defult gamma?

never seen it

[pliant shore]

Just a Squad of zombies going to Zaton

What they doing over there vibes

This was 2 Alpha Bloodsuckers....I BARELY LIVED-

[carmine scaffold]

Go outside after an emission

[primal geode]

Thats not your screenshot, or am I missing the joke?

[warm sierra]

doing a little trolling - #╓☢stalker-chat message

[primal geode]

Ahh So I did miss it, well you ain't fooling me!

[clever badger]

mask

how.

[clever badger]

(in reference to this)

[rapid tide]

disable GAMMA no masks textures in gamma fixes section

[devout fjord]

These are amazing shots!!! Please share how you are accomplishing such great visuals, please! 😊

[clever badger]

yknow i was just typing about how i did that and the masks looked quite a bit different and it's just hit me why

actually wait, nope, follow up question, i remember a while back there was a 4k mask variant mod, can't remember for the life of me what it was called, is that still useable nowadays or naw

[rapid tide]

nope I tried it

it's called navs

[clever badger]

that's it

[rapid tide]

no it broken

blurs the whole screen

[clever badger]

damn, shame.

welp, is what it is.

would really dig a new masks overlay mod, if i had any knowledge of how to make such a thing i'd do it myself
actually, yknow, thinking about it, can't be too difficult, i've made mods before

(famous last words)

[lunar crane]

Golden Autumn, es+sss. That’s all 😎

[devout fjord]

Looks really nice

[drifting pulsar]

Not a screenshot, not even Gamma, sorry:
#╟🎮stalker-videos📹 message

[clever badger]

just some screenshots from literally where i'm stood rn.

[compact wedge]

reposting my favorite photos

[drifting pulsar]

F U C K . M E ! ! !

[ripe rapids]

Thats good

What's your res?

[drifting pulsar]

The picture resolution says it's a 4k

[ripe rapids]

Fascinating

[sharp forge]

would you mind sharing your reshade settings? your game looks amazing!

[coarse talon]

check out the newest update for Atmospherics from modDB (hasnt been updated in gamma), his new reshade is in there

[sharp forge]

thats in the mod organiser menu or in the browser?

[coarse talon]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hippos-shaders-and-atmospherics

[sharp forge]

thanks a lot

[coarse talon]

download it, the latest one, check the reshade presets

[orchid adder]

Where can i get hands and models like that? Are they somewhere in this channel?

[compact wedge]

They are part of Cwwp which Is still wip, I've been uploading videos showcasing the new weapon, animations and shader

[orchid adder]

DAYUM they look fine bro

Defined even

[bitter crest]

is there a way to activate/install that to gamma? i've been looking for it but IDK if that is possible

[main heart]

game looks great but guns look pretty cartoonish, especially the double barrel last photo

[sharp forge]

is it normal that my fps drop down by like 30 ?

[coarse talon]

I couldnt tell you, seems fine for me but I run the "core fix"

"core "fix""

[sharp forge]

the reshade option you mean?

[coarse talon]

no you essentially turn off the first core of the CPU to force it to use more, so you get better performance, i got 30fps

but its not guaranteed

there is a guide but I cant remember where it is in the discord or how to call the guide

[coarse talon]

I haven't been here since I finished COP 9 years ago

[ripe rapids]

Creepy place unless you have an automatic shotgun with a drum mag

(not me definitely)

[coarse talon]

yes me

[jovial cedar]

Something's not legit here

[coarse talon]

I take every weapon I can and break them down for any decent part, killing a legendary UNSIG and then watching a legendary duty guy get cut down by a chimera helped too

[jovial cedar]

Hold on

You're Duty

How did you get past the dogs in Rostok

[ripe rapids]

Impossible

[coarse talon]

Ive seen expert and master stalkers from all factions get wasted by 5 fucking zombies, same guys insta headshot me

[clever badger]

literally just 360ing taking screenshots, games so pretty dawg

[rapid tide]

Gnarly

[clever badger]

its wild how much cloud cover does for a game's looks

[coarse talon]

might not be the most aesthetic visuals, but honestly, the NVG's in Gamma might be one my favourite in ANY video game, they feel like something youre looking through, they arent perfect but each gen is far far better than pure black and flashlight

only negative is that stalkers dont use them

[rapid tide]

I did love the nvg in the game

Specifically doing night raids with it is cool

[coarse talon]

I had gen 1 nvgs hiding in the darkness shooting bandits with flashlights, some of my favourite moments from gamma

[ripe rapids]

I barely use NVG even though I've got the best one

Mostly because I am sleeping at the night in the zone

[coarse talon]

I do the same but I always try to wake up to enjoy the NVG operations, underground stuff i always NVG just to enjoy it

[rapid tide]

It’s definitely a different experience specifically when coming from me who used torch light everywhere at night

[coarse talon]

i love this area with the light coming through from the surface

[strange finch]

hows the latest update?

[coarse talon]

its nice, I like it, using your AtmosGamma with a few small tweaks for personal preference,

[strange finch]

Looks good!

Ahh how are you detecting menus?

did you create a custom png ?

Have you tried Immerse MXAO?

I see you're using gloom

[coarse talon]

ah no, honestly I used UI detect before and after thinking it would naturally work, your comment makes me realise it doesnt, hence why I just lowered the quality

[strange finch]

Gotcha

probably doesnt make much of a performance difference either way

But give MXAO a shot. Lvutner (anomaly dev) went out of his way to say that it is the nicest AO in 99% of games and thats with it being unfiltered

[coarse talon]

just swapped gloom and immense, hard to tell in this location exactly but can tell when the immense is on and off, ill give it a run for a while, sure its good

immerse*

[strange finch]

The best way to tweak it for your custom preset is to look at its debug

to see whats being shaded and whats not

[coarse talon]

tbf the reshade is mostly atmosGamma just with Phrozacs Adof settings ontop and solaris

[slow void]

reshade is like a drug

first you use it in some game, then you use it in all games of yours

[rapid tide]

me playing reshade more than gamma

[coarse talon]

most of my time now since going past brainscorcher is me testing and fucking around with various reshades and tweaks

[strange finch]

AtmosR+ Mxao settings

[coarse talon]

I could have finished this by now

[strange finch]

click this

Make sure you put mxao in the right load order and tweak ambient occlusion amount so the fog doesnt look weird

also tweak sample quality, and MXAO AO_TYPE

Im sure you can get something much better than gloom AO

[coarse talon]

JUST CRASHED MY GAME

[strange finch]

lol

[coarse talon]

no we good, looked like it crashed

[jaunty palm]

What’s the best place to put it in the order? Obvious all orders different, but is there a rule of thumb or anything?

[jovial cedar]

"As long as you don't lose eyesight you're good'

[coarse talon]

this is what I hate about stalker, outside stage looks amazing, inside stage looks amazing, when youre inside of a building in an outside stage its flat boring and sad

[jovial cedar]

Spawn more mutants, they'll make you forget about it for a while

[strange finch]

typically anything that uses the depth buffer should be loaded towards the top but I found MXAO in atmosR+ to work best here:

Without Immerse AA

[jaunty palm]

I also love, and most games don't support it, the ability to adjust their sensitivity.

[strange finch]

With

difference is night and day

[jaunty palm]

sure is

[coarse talon]

100%, the nvg senisitivty is fantastic and kinda adds a new level of ""depth"" to the game, having to change your light exposure as you go along

[jovial cedar]

It cracks me up just like that texture

[strange finch]

lol

[jovial cedar]

One day I'll work again on Reshade stuff, in a distant future

[coarse talon]

I find too much sharpen looks bad for me, personally, I dont want the game to be essentially blury past 20m but multiple sharpens from various reshade effects just looks weird and not natural (but then in screens it looks nice)

[jovial cedar]

Seeing my old screenshots sent me for a long trip back in time xD

[strange finch]

This is 100% true

[coarse talon]

jupiter underground is so nice with with shaders/mods/stalker lighting engine

[strange finch]

thats why I lowered the default sharpness from Immerse AA from 1.0 to 0.55 I think

[coarse talon]

what is your immerse sharpen intensity

ill throw it on

[strange finch]

put sharpness ontop of glamaraye

[coarse talon]

before and after sharpen above glamaraye

[strange finch]

Just right not too much

you see more of a difference in day light and outside

[coarse talon]

does feel better, sharpen isnt too strong but gives everything a punch

yell i'll check when I get into pripyat

very nice

on a side note, almost killed by 2 dogs in outskirts wearing a nosrog and spartan helmet at full health

[jaunty palm]

I've been running a stripped down version of your AtmosR+. Settings should be a copy of or extremely similar to your initial ones. I turned off a few things to gain a bit of performance back. Not sure if I should change it around a bit or not.

[strange finch]

looks good

I only see fgfx being turned off

but the rest are good

[jaunty palm]

now that I'm testing again, it doesn't seem to affect performance much at all. So not sure why I had turned it off

[coarse talon]

I know you've got a couple of presets but what is your "main" one? is it Gamma or r+?

[strange finch]

I personallly just AtmosR+ but Im not playing the game that much at the moment

started another terraria calamity playthrough

lol

[coarse talon]

just finished terraria with a friend lol

[strange finch]

modded or vanilla?

[coarse talon]

vanilla, we never actually finished it, had stopped right before the moon god last time

could you share your r+/r++? I downloaded your update for atmospherics and it doesnt use immerse?

want to compare it with the Gamma one, or merge them

[coarse talon]

THX

are these optional or a result of your testing/tweaking?

[strange finch]

Oh fuck

I forgot to take out Clarity2

thats a paywalled reshade effect

one sec emergency update

[trail nebula]

Nope too late already stolen

[coarse talon]

wait how does a paywall update work without the actual reshade fx file?

thought it only worked with having the actual effect like the RTGI thing?

[jovial cedar]

[jaunty palm]

is it different than this one? https://github.com/Mortalitas/GShade/blob/master/Shaders/Clarity2.fx

[coarse talon]

wait it actually works?

thats weird

i turned it on and off

[strange finch]

Oh wait

Okay I didnt fuck up

[jovial cedar]

Oh ?

[strange finch]

I thought I included martys new clarity effect

[jovial cedar]

I speed downloaded for nothing x)

[strange finch]

LMAO

we're good

[jovial cedar]

Is the new clarity effect you're talking about any good ?

[strange finch]

but yeah to answer your question @coarse talon they are just for testing but you are more than welcome to try them

[strange finch]

from marty? yes very good

even clarity2 is better than the default clarity

[coarse talon]

standard + everything turned on, everything turned on isnt right but I feel there is a compromise hidden in there somewhere

[strange finch]

Im sure you remember @jovial cedar that the default clarity is unusable unless you use softlight

[jovial cedar]

Yeah

[strange finch]

Yeah clarity 2 doesnt have that issue

[jovial cedar]

I plan to redo my preset someday basing it on Atmospherics

[strange finch]

Dude I'll be more than open to it and will add it to atmospherics like I've done to other community members if thats something you want

[trail nebula]

autumn preset?

[jovial cedar]

No need to say that before seeing it honestly xD

[strange finch]

Thats true

[jovial cedar]

But I'm gonna work towards that 🙂

[strange finch]

https://imgur.com/gallery/HJ5qbB0 Will add it to this compilation of screenshots for atmospherics users lol

[jovial cedar]

Well, pretty sure it's far away, I have my questlines to finish first so probably not before June x)

[strange finch]

Hows that btw?

[jovial cedar]

I'm done with Bandits, and made good progress on Monolith today

[coarse talon]

Autumn Trees + Summer Grass, somehow makes the grass a mix of green and brown??

Aydins grass tweaks btw

[trail nebula]

these stalker 2 leaks are sick

[trail nebula]

much appreciated - gonna try them out

looks really good

[coarse talon]

ive seen some of the leaks, wont say anything but they made me happy

twisting some of the atmosR with blooming HDR

[ripe rapids]

Honestly I've never liked the original anomaly helmet hood

Sometimes it be really annoying

[coarse talon]

I think some kind of helmet overlay would be nice, especially if it was unique to various helmets, I.E the duel eye slot helmets being restrictive while SEVA helmets being open

and of course you can just turn it off if you like

[ripe rapids]

There are some helmet huds that are quite nice to see

In the addons

[slow void]

first-ever screenshot of mine (im deadass dead

[trail nebula]

oh yeah, this is nice

although

is there some way to remove that fog or have it draw farther away?

[coarse talon]

go into that bandit camp (without demo on ) and bonk them

[ripe rapids]

The axe looks really nice

Makes me want to buy one

[coarse talon]

a semi screenshot, but my first time seeming him in 10+ years, 3 of playing gamma and quitting at endgame

my actual reaction

[coarse talon]

www

[coarse talon]

my heart-rate went through the roof

sitting in the dark, headphones on, high volume

[rapid tide]

I use these noise cancelling surround sound headphones and man when I hear footsteps I pee a little or when someone spots me before I spot them

specially those tiny tushankos man

[coarse talon]

yeh im an pure stalker sound when im sitting here

[rapid tide]

can't shoot the little guys

the npc companions struggle with them too lol

Yea I put my stalker full immersion experience, can't hear anything but the zone

[coarse talon]

glad im out, always hated this place

[rapid tide]

same it spooks the hell out of me when I go through that place

[ripe rapids]

Did you kill that burrer

It's so annoying

Throwing the things at you

[coarse talon]

no but his prop abuse never did any damage lol

[ripe rapids]

It just pisses off

[coarse talon]

dogs can kill me in 3 hits still but a propane tank going 30mph bounces off me

just nosrog things

[ripe rapids]

I am glad that I have nosorog

Now I can kill every dog by just pressing a button

[rapid tide]

yea the burer feels so weak, shoot him once he will deflect then wait for it to fall then burst him

that or just let him run away most burers I face have ran away for some reason

they will attack then make so much distance from me that they forget I'm there

[bronze yew]

saving

[rapid tide]

Amazing view of anomalies

I just started a first ever ecologist run just now lol

[rapid tide]

I really like the reflections

poor dude got eaten by a snork

[coarse talon]

I'm done

my flashlight wouldnt turn on and I wondered why strelok rogue and the other guy were in combat mode

[rapid tide]

God damn I got jumpscared cause I forgot to turn down the discord audio

[coarse talon]

what the actual fuck, they werent kidding, this dude is for real

I thought it was gonna be a case of 5-10 VSS merc AP and then hes dead, took 2 mags and emptying every other gun

also hes not even legend

"I must go now, my zone needs me"

[jovial cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-to-be-continued-gif-13610396

What happened next x)

[rapid tide]

I had a Pm pistol and shot a military dude who was expert and shot him about 102 different times and finally he died

[coarse talon]

just tank the grenade

[jovial cedar]

What a Chad xD

Never had this experience, usually debug + Barett M82, boom headshot, thank you sir, bye sir, what's next

Can't wait to play this game for the first time

[coarse talon]

honestly, the sponge he has is insane, legendary nosrog users take like 5-10 VSS merc AP rounds, he took nearly 3 mags

and 10 slugs, 30 rounds of 9x21

meanwhile, right before, I killed a legendary monolith (he was only veteran) who only had a fucking trench coat

[rapid tide]

I've died to more veteran and expert and master stalkers than legends

[coarse talon]

pripyat in a clear full moon night though, holy

[rapid tide]

Love pripyat can't wait to get to it in my ecologist run

[rapid tide]

Is that shotgun in gamma

If so imma hunt it down

[coarse talon]

glad i brought 400 rounds of AP VSS

[strange finch]

Yeah the ithica

[rapid tide]

oh bet imma find me one of those

[coarse talon]

CNPP and Generators

honestly I almost died of bordom getting to generators, needs to be moved

bonus, controller psy-sending me under the map

[spiral mural]

Do you have Any idea if there is a IPI Malyuk Mod out there>?

[rapid tide]

looks like the MTAR but personally no I never seen a mod for that specific gun, also reupdating that gun modpack, gave it a crap ton more weapon mods to it once I get it uploaded back to google drive

retrogue might look into that gun for you if you ask him, he been making loads of tactical gun mods and might be interested in the weapon

idk though just throwing it out

[spiral mural]

kk

[rapid tide]

yea he is a expert at those guns

[spiral mural]

Another sunny day in paradise

[devout fjord]

This is an awesome shot! 👏

[graceful abyss]

Thanks! Your preset has been looking really good on my game. I did add some stuff to stop the weird cloud stuff on my end since I can't play at higher reses

[devout fjord]

Awesome, gald its working out for you!

very clean

[graceful abyss]

Agreed very noice

[devout fjord]

so many great presets, I find myself jumping around lol

depending on the mood and location in game

[ancient walrus]

disguise got made and had to make a last stand, arnie enjoyed the show though

[spiral mural]

Fucking Yoink

[rapid tide]

was thinking of adding fort animations and blue Ak but still testing those out

[gaunt falcon]

Hey I just finished downloading this, should I just drop everything into my base anomaly folder or is that risky and instead manually add each mod one by one into the Mod Manager instead?

[rapid tide]

they all are optional, you can throw them all together, is what I did but look through them

[gaunt falcon]

yeah, im looking to install all of the addons included but i was more so asking if its safe to install them by pasting the files into the base anomaly folder

[rapid tide]

put them in your gamma rc3 mods

[gaunt falcon]

alr alr

[rapid tide]

and check them out

[spiral mural]

Ive downloaded them all -w-

Time to Cause Mayhem

[rapid tide]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OWAHJD0HHK6ccD5IChsngiEonEgTZce6/view?usp=sharing added fort animations and blue ak74m, both blue ak74m mods work together as well

[hoary valley]

whats ur reshade preset could u send me it

[clever badger]

i think i've probably finished with my reshade at this point, was going for a new vegas-y look.

[jovial cedar]

Nicely done, what does it look like in other weathers ?

[clever badger]

i'd say it suits the aesthetic i was shooting for - what's the weather edit command again? i'll hop in and take a few in a couple different weathers.
big thing for me was making interiors not too dark and exteriors not too bright, that actually took more time than anything else

[jovial cedar]

You can turn on debug mode, then press F7 and then 3, it should give you the debug weather menu

You can set time and weather, but don't, and I mean DON'T use storm weathers in debug

[clever badger]

warning heeded, haha. I'll avoid the storm weathers.

[jovial cedar]

Also, rain puddles will not possibly appear in debug rainy weathers

Aside of that, you're good

Storm weathers will flash you to Oblivion if you dare that's why x)

[clever badger]

welp, i may prank my wife with that later.

"hey, dear, check this out"

[jovial cedar]

Ha! Sure xD

[clever badger]

Here's a few with rain and fog and the like, as well as one more "clearest sunny sky you've ever seen in your life" which is frankly once a year where i live irl.

[jovial cedar]

Looking good, even more with puddles when it's gonna rain for real

Last one is Nevada for sure x)

[clever badger]

Thanks man, I'm at work at the moment, so not got time to really sit down and play without my team @ing me to fix something repeatedly - really lookin forward to the weekend so i can play with this preset proper.

[jovial cedar]

Mind you that my old preset took me 4 weeks of constant work on it to finish it xD

So take your time really

can you send me ur reshade pls looks soo good

@nimble otter could u do the same looking for those kind of reshades

[buoyant hedge]

does printscreen save your screenshots to somewherE?

[topaz pond]

F12 puts them in Anomaly\appdata\screenshots
PrintScreen puts them in GAMMA\overwrite\bin

Good ol' copy and paste

[buoyant hedge]

thanks

this was before i had the fog issues

wish i can just go back to that :/

[topaz oar]

Phrozacs AreaX with FGFX on and intensity set to 0.750, MXAO on, All graphics maxed out, grass 0.7, sun rays 1 and 0.5

[rapid tide]

when you say maxed out, did you also max the sun settings and such to like extreme and high?

I tried what you did but it destroyed my sun shadows

[normal dawn]

Or someone just dropped a nuke

ma man, share your preset that looks juicy

[clever badger]

night/dreary morning/pleasant evening

not fully night, fully night is whole ass impossible to see in without NVGs or a flashlight (as it should be, really)

[hoary valley]

that all in reshade

[hoary valley]

which grass r u using as well

[topaz oar]

Yes all comes with base gamma, grass is aydins spring grass

[topaz oar]

lmao no sun ray settings are set to high, volumetric+Screen Space 1.0 main intensity and 0.05 for the other one

[rapid tide]

Yea I figured it out after tweaking it back xd knew I did it wrong

[topaz oar]

Glad you got it sussed, I generally run the reshade with quint regrade off cause I like the vibrancy but im working on tweaking that at the moment as its sometimes too vibrant, mostly noticable around fires or sids bunker, sometimes ill turn it on for screenshots depending on the feeling i want to capture

[rapid tide]

yea I notice it can be kind of bright

[topaz oar]

I find it too be too dark in most cases lmao could be a difference in our monitors though, but yes with regrade off it does brighten the image a bit you could tweak regrade or the tone mapping in the MCM menu

[rapid tide]

Yea I tweaked it a little bit on my end

[rapid tide]

honestly always wanted mine to be nice and colored in, your reshade ini is great for that

thanks for giving it to work with

[hollow hawk]

Jupiter. Night is coming.

[clever badger]

finally got a rainy weather so i can see the puddle effects with the reshade

bing bing wahoo

[robust carbon]

@clever badger what reshade

[rapid tide]

He posted it in reshade

#╟🎑reshades message

[clever badger]

yee, it's one i made

(thanks frosty, btw)

[rapid tide]

You’re welcome also insane screenshots I love them

[clever badger]

hey, thanks man

[coarse talon]

everytime I see others screenshots I just want to change my reshade

over and over

[rapid tide]

Same for me xd

I play with my reshade more than playtime in gameplay

[clever badger]

happens man, i'm probably going to install inverno soon and try to make a reshade for that, despite the fact i probably won't consistently play with inverno

saaaaame man.

[chilly sundial]

companion sneaking around almost gave me a heart attack

[main maple]

There are a couple of screenshots for which I wish I would have turned off the HUD, but I forgot in the moment

[iron shadow]

You can talk to hostile STALKERs if you can get close enough and not get shot. I'm playing as a Loner.

[drifting pulsar]

Wut?! Really? And can You do quests for them?

[iron shadow]

I have no idea, he was my quest target so he's dead now.

[hoary valley]

i cant find any of that stuff in reshade

could u make it a preset pls if u can

[icy spear]

Anyone know how to make textures not look so Grainy ?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fkhlQTWhmKO4PLURoRis92sR0V0lH99H/view?usp=sharing

[coral sable]

Im getting this too, specially grass. To fix i enabled FXAA in reshade settings (pressing "home" button)

[coral sable]

Thanks a lot!!!

[rapid tide]

I got you, currently converting efp4.0 weapon pack to gammas

[icy spear]

Any particular settings or load order?? Already had It on

[coral sable]

Hmmm i just enabled it, havent touched order

And when you take screenshots, use the printscreen button instead of F12. FXAA will bug your screenshots (if using F12)

[icy spear]

Rodger that

[clever badger]

this looks like outlast

tweaked the reshade just a tad to give a bit more of a "mood" to the more dreary weathers, think it turned out well

[clever badger]

this looks amazing

[spiral mural]

Im so sad

I found a SVDS and pulled it out to Instacrash mid Screenshot LMAO

[spiral mural]

wtf did you kill that man for that Gun XD

i have 1 light exo, 3 normal exos, 1 mono in storage... all waiting for that dremead the expert tools... ❤️

[rapid tide]

it comes from efp4.0 mod pack but I just put it on gamma, they have a youtube guide for it actually https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gorVyhkdz2U&t=44s

[toxic lily]

Seconrery slot is the new shotgun RAPTR, the rest are a M4A1, SA58 OSW.

[harsh forge]

thanks man

[tough zinc]

how long have you had it installed with gamma?

[rapid tide]

I installed it just today

[tough zinc]

fair fair it hasn't died on you yet?

[rapid tide]

no it works all together, have to view the guide for it to figure it out but soon I am releasing a gun modpack for every gun pack and that efp pack to work fully with gamma as far as I know

but that guide is how to set it up anyways

[tough zinc]

thank you and very much appreciated

Thank you lots

Edit anything really?

[crimson mango]

i edited pretty much everything lol but its personal taste

i dont like when reshade makes the ui look weird

[cold spear]

What were you shooting for that the original didnt do

too bright? saturations? AO? Pls b0ss

[clever badger]

35 fps

i get really low on emissions lmao

[crimson mango]

i wanted to avoid skies being shaded with a blue tint at night, anything that made inventory icons/UI look weird, and more saturation

i also turn off magic bloom, fgfx, and fxaa

and i turn on Clarity

[cold spear]

Pog thankee

Oh shit wait did you make this reshade? I cant find it on google

[crimson mango]

its apart of a new #1036172060969410590 update

idk why i just like taking pictures of weapons and environments lol

[rapid tide]

Don't worry I do it too so much

how do you get the shots like that? do you have a wider monitor or is it just so awesome that it does that on it's own

[devout fjord]

@rapid tide 32" ultra widescreen curved monitor

[rapid tide]

never had one that wide that's gnarly

makes the shots look wonderful

[devout fjord]

hehe thanks

[gaunt falcon]

damn, howd you make this?

[crisp hazel]

how to mek dx9 look as gud ass possib

the stuttering on dx10+ is too much 4 me

[warm sierra]

!dx9 // #╰⚡fps-optimisation and this ⬇️

[humble pasture]

If you want to play with DX9:

1. Enable DX9 Compatibility Patch
2. Disable 189- Beef's NVG - theRealBeef

[crisp hazel]

no ik that

but some reshade presets that make it look non potet

[warm sierra]

it really just depends on your own configuration if your pc isn't good. i suggest to disable everything in reshade except BrightnessContrastSaturation and maybe Bloom, Clarity (enable, configure them if you want)

DX9 still uses some shaders that can be hard on potato gpus or igpus. i suggest to just use dx8 if you cant hit a stable 45 fps

[crisp hazel]

my issue is with numerous microstutters during regular gameplay, even with the stutter fix. i can hit a solid 80+ fps with 'balanced' settings but those stutters can really take me out of the game

especially when using full auto weapons, so often in a firefight a stutter will occur mid fire and my gun wont stop shooting even if i let go of the mouse

[warm sierra]

cpu then. i get stutters near many npcs or companions

[crisp hazel]

probs

[hoary valley]

dead zone ?

[warm sierra]

looks like autumn
