Honestly, just experimenting with all the different preset options within Reshade. You'd be surprised all the sorts of different visuals you can create. It's all trial and error TBH and the ambiance you're trying to set in-game. And I'm not running anything special outside of what's already avaialble within the Mods list.

[hearty gull]

Roughly how long did it take for you to achieve that look

[still snow]

Fantastic shots

[devout fjord]

Thank you @still snow I think I spend more time tinkering around with reshade and snapping nice scenary than actuallying playing the game. 😄 I hope to eventually create my custom preset. I've learned alot of what works simply by trial and error and crashing my game alot 😄

[still snow]

Haha, I can understand that well, I feel the same way. However, at the moment I'm really trying to get ahead in the game. Therefore, so far my focus was rather on a profile with little FPS loss. However, I have recently learned a lot about Reshade, it's just fantastic what it offers in terms of possibilities. If you like to deal with graphics, Reshade is a nice toy... ^^

[devout fjord]

couldn't agree more. It definitely comes with a sacrifce. lol Nice visuals, or 10 more FPS. 😄

[strange finch]

TFAA or use DLDSR

[devout fjord]

Thank you. I'll try those out.

[runic stag]

pro tip don't get an AMD gpu if you want to play stalker

considering going back to nvidia just to play stalker more stably

[devout fjord]

Interesting, I did not know this. Yeah, I currently have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900 with a Nvidia RTX 3070 and I feel my FPS should be more more than the avg. of 50 or <

Oh wow...

[fleet oxide]

What pack or whatnot did you get this weapon and arms from?

[signal stone]

Those just look more like regular lights

[fleet oxide]

Some dimmer IR foodlights would be cool for nvg's though

[signal stone]

Maybe

[ember pewter]

yeah, beef gotta add that atleast for the 2nd gen nvg

I mean 2nd tier

[ember pewter]

yeah it was just a regular headlamp

[fleet oxide]

I mean it's really like, not necessary at all. Just a cool thing if beef ever wanted to do it. NVG's are perfectly fine and usable as they are with beef's. I just wouldn't be opposed if he decided to add them

Yeah, totally. It really caught the atmosphere and mood, I love it. The scattered snow patches, the colour palette, lights/shadow... perfect

I'm getting HUGE Far Cry 3 vibes from this one screenshot

[devout fjord]

Yep, I noticed this as well, depending on the time of the day. Then it goes away. I forget what times those were though. I take one of the medical pills that causes you to go to sleep briefly then wake up. Usually enough time has passed and the weather is not washed out 😄

[devout fjord]

That is fire right there! Sweeeet!

[hoary valley]

all the time for me mostly i fixed it with cfg grading cold but made cloudy 1 and 2 dark reallly really dark

Just great man. Reshade on?

[strange finch]

Yeah for both of those

[random flame]

because u said something like you try your best without reshade

[strange finch]

Let me turn it off

[random flame]

ahh ok.

[strange finch]

Oh I havent changed any reshade effects at all

from what you currently have

all the changes are from the weather and shader edits

[random flame]

looks amazing!

[strange finch]

No reshade

Biggest difference is the anti aliasing and no bloom

but other than that it still looks great

If only the base game anti aliasing was better I would not use reshade as much

[random flame]

Wow. Next release from you i will try to use DSR and play with a greater resolution then 1440. i mean i like the reshade presets from you, capa and others a lot but if i can spare some fps to get up to 4K i will try it out.

[strange finch]

For sure, I think DSR is great and for most works better than TFAA

what shader are you using? I wouldnt mind the sun actually shedding light for me sometimes

[tepid jetty]

@coral sable This image- see those little bokeh lens effects at the top? Are they a result of that Helmet Visor Addon? If not, how to get them as they look really nice?

[weak folio]

There's SSS, which should be included with GAMMA (I don't remember what version, I'm on U16). Other than that' I'm using Hippo's Atmospherics (W/ Reshade) and all the appendant mods which are included in the current guide for that.

[fluid crescent]

Yo if you don't mind me asking, what shaders are those. That image has me fiending for some more, it's super fucking dope

[sleek oyster]

Dope screenshots what hand models are those?

[coral sable]

Yes, its from the helmet hud, to get them disable the addon "grok no mask textures"

[coral sable]

The models are from BF4 gorka, its used in gunslinger, thap rework and so on, the textures are custom, if you want i can share them

[tepid jetty]

Thanks man- is that addon an easy install do you know..? Actually- could you link the Addon here pls? I just googled and it seems there’s a few?

[coral sable]

It is already in GAMMA addons, just disable it and you get the helmet hud + this reflections (that is connected to the reshade o believe)

[tepid jetty]

Ah thanks..!!!

[sleek oyster]

thanks bro i saw your page on moddb and already installing it i appreciate the model ill try it out!

[coral sable]

There is just the texture, you wont get the model there, and the model in the screenshots is modified, i can send you via pm

[sleek oyster]

alright dm me the texture brother

Im returning home, there i will send you

Yes

[hoary valley]

reshade?

[hoary valley]

also whats ur basic light settings

[coral sable]

im using screen space lightning, increases a lot fps

[coral sable]

the one that comes on by default + fxaa

[hoary valley]

could u dm me how to do that brother

[next charm]

show how

[hoary valley]

its in advanced graphics settings change volumetic to screen space

[hearty gull]

you got a reshade? if so what u using?

[thin geode]

Using Atmosr that comes with atmospherics, I only added gaussaian blur to hide grass and tree flickering. btw this is new atmos update with spring preset

[strange finch]

Did you type cfg_load atmosr in console to load the new values

[hearty gull]

i have to update gamma with the gamma launcher to get new atmos update right?

[thin geode]

Atmos_Spring2

[strange finch]

What time is this in game?

[thin geode]

You can, or just download atmospherics at the top of this thread

[strange finch]

Sorry i just want to verify you got everything working correctly because your screens look good but a bit muted in brightness

[thin geode]

Oo I’m not exactly sure lol it’s possible I messed something up, had to be quick gf waiting on me 😁 I’m gonna check it out more tomorrow

[hearty gull]

lmao i thought i had the most up to date version of gamma this whole time

just updating and adding new add-ons now. edit: wow the game looks better than before now that atmospherics reshade got an update.

[hearty gull]

how do i stop this from happening with my light

i had volumetric light on before and it would never do this

[warm sierra]

!blackscreen // check these solutions below ⬇️. also, use support channels, like #🔨base-gamma-support for these kind of questions.

[humble pasture]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[hearty gull]

thanks but i just realised, i turned on stormy weather when that was off by default and that's what caused it so guess im not supposed to turn that on???

[warm sierra]

probably

[strange finch]

You were using debug?

[hearty gull]

i went into the game settings and switched on stormy cause i saw that it was off, then it occurred a few mins afterwards and i do have debug on.

[strange finch]

debug is the cause

[drifting pulsar]

Yeez, this is surreal... I mean, quite the opposite, it's surreal how realistic the feel is!
Stalker 2?
Nah, I'm fine with Gamma

[tepid jetty]

why? Is it bugged or something? I was considering installing it man

[tepid jetty]

what are these settings/shaders etc please? Looks very impressive

[jovial cedar]

If you turn on storm with debug weathers, don't forget to actually press play, otherwise you'll get that at the first lightning

[hearty gull]

ahh i see thx

[rapid tide]

Heavily bugged no use in trying it out tbh

Wait on its new update coming in a few months

some WIP of Detector remake for the mod https://i.imgur.com/DgJaAGc.jpeg

[quasi oak]

Stalker 2 echo detector

[fathom shadow]

Stalker 2 artist will do that better i think

[quasi oak]

hehe, it looks really good though!

[fathom shadow]

thanks! trying my best

[quasi oak]

it looks like it has had many owners, now lost to the zone

[fathom shadow]

yeah i think it should be used af

[quasi oak]

it would be cool if an echo detector was super reliable ingame and only requires one battery and a fuse or something, which you can find more easily in the zone

compared to multiple components inside a hi-tech veles detector

[jagged fulcrum]

could be the opposite way around too, echo detectors are cheap for a reason and are garbage because of that

veles detector is a prototype detector put together with love and care, you know what I mean?

[quasi oak]

yeah sounds reasonable too, maybe reliability is not the right word. Durability would make more sense. An echo detector could be clunky due to it's weight and inaccurate readings due to its simplicity, however that's its strong point too. It can take a beating and wouldn't require many spare parts to repair.

A veles could be very reliable and accurate, but certain parts could break (like its lcd screen) under duress, like shockwaves from explosions or damage from anomalies

It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but just something to balance it out, giving each item both pros and cons

how do i achieve something like this

Can you show me your load order in MO? I am on the "old" SSS and would like to try out SSS16. I do need the new .exe files from github?

Sorry for the ping...

[runic stag]

I just disabled SSS 15, installed 16 in the same spot, and replaced all files with everything in the newest demonized exes zip

[random flame]

Ok, i will try my best.

[runic stag]

It's really simple, just make sure to delete your shader cache before loading up the game

[random flame]

Yep, everything worked out. Thx!

Shader cached gets cleared everytime i change a small bit.

[crystal python]

headlamps >>>>

clearly a broke stalker

[rapid tide]

headlamps are good cause they allow real vision in dark without the use of nvgs, nvgs are really made for more roleplay style of playing I believe and seeing dark corners in deep dark nights

[unkempt niche]

Nvidia sharpening 20%. Advanced graphic setts are basic really just rendering maxed out and grass size 0.8, Screen Space, res at 2k also i added first box in that reshade which is antyaliasing. Trees were kinda bothering me(not perfect but enough for me) 1 gamma, 1.3 saturation, Aydin grass preset Summer(console variables from summer preset), cfg ATMOSR, atmospheric hippo 1.9 beta. Whole set up took me a while but im finally satisfied with the effect. Mostly idk TF im doing

i had yellow grass and yellow trees on if that's what you mean

I meant summer trees and grass from aydin. Just curious. For me its the most balanced one in terms of collor. Not too much green and not too much orange.

[fathom shadow]

the bulb flashes only near anomaly now

[warm sierra]

keep up the beautiful work, dio

[warm sierra]

so it works as an anomaly detector too?

not just an artifact detector

[fathom shadow]

no no only artifact

misspelled

[warm sierra]

ah, very good

i thought the big white bulb would flash for artifacts and the red small one would flash for anomalies

[fathom shadow]

bear detector next.

[drifting pulsar]

Erm... that's roughly what Gamma is about?

[tropic bough]

Looks great

[jovial cedar]

What, it wasn't about the Vision ?

[drifting pulsar]

Does it, right? Dunno what people brag about this 'Gamma' or TF called game either... it looks the same as Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl!

[drifting pulsar]

Vision?

[fathom shadow]

the main goal is to remake all devices but leave the design the same, only make more poly on mesh and more detailed textures

[warm sierra]

basically HD models of the originals

[jovial cedar]

Basically more about adding stuff that shows up in moddb most of the time

Joking of course, GAMMA has really good stuff

[drifting pulsar]

Khm, sorry dude, it was sarcasm. A weak one then. I was joking on that statement 'caring way to much about some pixels'... the whole Gamma development is roughly about that: caring way too much about pixels

[jovial cedar]

But sometimes it's hard to understand the intent behind the stuff added or tweaked, hence the "we don't understand the Vision"

[drifting pulsar]

Love how humble this @fathom shadow guy is: he nicely explains it to me, though he could have been offended by my comment

[fathom shadow]

its ok! i like all kind of criticism some people can still prefer vanilla models

[drifting pulsar]

No, that thing looks dope! I saw pictures of it before. Very very faithful to the original, but 100X better! Keep it up mate!

[fathom shadow]

thanks guys its matter to me ☺️

[drifting pulsar]

Oh I see, yes, the VISION, I believe in it, it's al labout the VISION! We all folow the VISION!

[drifting pulsar]

And yeah, that's why I already made two offline archive installers of Gamma. One just before 0.9, the other not so long ago. I play SOC ~monthly, old Gamma ~weekly, and Gammma daily of course still

[drifting pulsar]

You deserve it! And I know how it feels, for a creator, does not matter what does one make, that's the most important, appreciation, and contentment of the audience

Also, I saw this shot two days ago: #╟📸screenshots message
I even liked it that time, so I was aware of this, I saw it coming.

[rapid tide]

you know how that original one was, your white version before the actual textures, could that actually be a secondary texture to download. like the white idk it did something to me and now I want a white detector

[drifting pulsar]

and will it be part of Gamma?

[fathom shadow]

yeah we can make installer with optional colors good idea!

[fathom shadow]

definitely Gamma cause its best mod for Stalker

[rapid tide]

god speed

I was making detectors too but seeing yours got me in awe

glad to see detectors having more love

[drifting pulsar]

I mean will it be in it officially?

[runic stag]

completely up to Grok

[fathom shadow]

yep will be added to the next update

[fathom shadow]

i already reached him and he accepted this mod

[runic stag]

[hoary valley]

late fall

[vast delta]

8k resolution?

[rapid tide]

all 1k

[fathom shadow]

we can make 1k, 2k and 4k as options

[rapid tide]

that be nice, I been touching a lot on resolutions and honestly 2k is probably the best

4k is slighly better but not ideal

due to how it touches fps

2k is the best option and 1k should be the original most likely, and 4k can be an optional

or possibly 2k being the original

2k isn't bad specially for detectors

since they are a bit tinier compared to how guns are

[fathom shadow]

yeah 4k res is a bit too much honestly. some people cant even tell the difference between 2k

[rapid tide]

I run all my gamma at 1k resolutions, and that screenshot above of mine is all just 1k, besides the skyboxes they are 2k

it mostly my reshade doing all the work

Mostly 2k is the best for stalker fps is what it seems, 1k being the better pick for those on lower ended pcs

and 4k for those on the higher end

[signal stone]

I like my skyboxes on 4K and the rest 2K

Then again I have a higher end pc

And I’m a big skybox fiend

[random flame]

What kind of skyboxes do you use?

Something special?

[unkempt niche]

Mfs woke up and chose violence I guess thats enough science intel for mercs.

[rapid tide]

each one of my runs has had ecologist just lose their shit and go sicko mode on me

[drifting pulsar]

Cool, congrats then!

[strange finch]

Expedition?

[clever badger]

is it gamma?If yes, can you tell me how did you achieve this?

[clever badger]

hippo shaders

[strange finch]

Looks good

[strange finch]

This is skilldex setup, the main thing is that he uses part of expedition to emulate this and the new grass shadows from SSS. The grass shadows incurs a heavy performance cost just fyi.

You can achieve this look with atmos 1.9 with grass shadows

[clever badger]

I don’t complain about performance, I’m fine with this, I’m too dumb and didn’t understand anything, I need a step-by-step guide to do something, but thanks anyway

[runic stag]

ur good bro ❤️

[hearty gull]

"very bright nights" btw

looks better in the screenshot but darker in game

think there's something wrong with my game it's literally pitch black

[hoary valley]

Turn up gamma and brightness in settings basic light settings

[hearty gull]

The gamma setting is fine, the brightness setting seems to not work at all for me

just stays at 1

[hoary valley]

Restart game after increasing it

[pallid stag]

what is your rs_c_brightness setting

[hearty gull]

it's on 0.8 rn

I'll mess around with the setting, didn't even know it existed

[pallid stag]

default GAMMA values, try these
rs_c_brightness 0.985
rs_c_contrast 0.92
rs_c_gamma 1

[hearty gull]

I'm assuming cfg_load atmosr changes those then cause that's what i had before

[runic stag]

I love the Lewd famas' guns but i hate how lewd is plastered all over it, the icon, the name of the gun, etc.

[lucid lintel]

Idk about the icon but removing lewd from the name is a simple xml change

Actually its not about that, post emission sky makes the effect worse in this case. Its hard to catch lighting. I like how light behaves.

Same with this one already shared. Post emission sky can go fly a kite i want my lightings 🙄

[hearty gull]

free stalker

[tall dust]

cool

[tall dust]

gamma is one of those games that is just perfect for screenshoots all the time

[tall dust]

thats not deafult gamma

[clever badger]

It's a stalker game

so it fits in here

[tall dust]

no i just want to know what it is

[clever badger]

Stalker Belarus

[tall dust]

aha

cool

tnx

[clever badger]

I'm playing it with my friend

Yes, it's a coop stalker, only for 2 people tho

[coral sable]

The famous question: "Where can i get these hands?" lol

[clever badger]

You can't

[coral sable]

Completely agree, my onlt issue is with the weather "clear_1", dont know why but its very blue

[tall dust]

idk never used it myself

[swift latch]

nobody out here helping this man

[runic stag]

true, clear2 is the best

[coral sable]

Completely agree, Clear_3 looks a little green, the n° 2 is the best

[coral sable]

When you drink for the first time and discover alcohol is not water lol

[swift latch]

thats probably what happened

I fast traveled there and he was already like that lol

[real schooner]

that atmos_spring1?

[runic stag]

with AtmosR+

[real schooner]

looks great, ive been enjoying it

[runic stag]

hippo absolutely killed it, didn't think it was gonna be much different from last atmos but I was so wrong

plus he has yet to release the weather changes so it's only gonna get better

[strange finch]

There isn’t clear 3 in gamma by default

Unless you’re talking about something else

[coral sable]

Hmmm this clarifies something, so it may be from a texture pack im using, good info

[strange finch]

Yup so clear 1 for you is blue from that texture pack and not from atmospherics

[quiet canyon]

new toy

[runic stag]

just saw your post in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion, I thought you were talking about how blue the sky was, not a blue tint on everything. yeah that looks pretty awful

[coral sable]

Exactly that, tried to replace the file but no success

[runic stag]

something to do with color grading perhaps, but I'm not sure color grading is tied to weathers

[clever badger]

try this one, copy to weathers dir. In Late fall. *Different shader parameters give different effects. Some weather is associated with these parameters. And the results will be different

[clever badger]

G.A.M.M.A modpack, clear1. 3pm. Default shaders with atmos params.

I was having same problems thanks man

[unkempt niche]

Damn

[coral sable]

Gonna try it, tks!

[lucid lintel]

Are the hands you use included in your modpack or is this a vanilla suit im missing out on?

[rapid tide]

pretty sure its just efps hands and HAZE hands

[lucid lintel]

Whats HAZE?

[rapid tide]

its a modpack by itself but has these hand models in it, I don't have the originals anymore but I know they are floating about online

[lucid lintel]

Oh, ok tysm

[rapid tide]

https://ap-pro.ru/forums/topic/4015-hazereloaded/ it'd be from here

its a pack, but can download it and locate its HAZE thap hands mod

thats all you'd need for them

[lucid lintel]

Thank you. Gonna install in next playthrough to check how it burns my PC.
What hardware do you have?

[random flame]

• I acvitated SMAA to the highest settings ingame.

[rapid tide]

feed your pc water

[random flame]

Nothing too fancy: Ryzen 5700x - RTX 4070 - 32 GB Ram 3766 - SSD and so on.

[rapid tide]

I need those ram

I only got 16

[random flame]

RTX 4070 was the game changer for me. Coming from a trusty 1080 gtx.

With all these settings above i get usually 80-100 fps. If its more busy it can drop to low 70s...

[rapid tide]

oh yea I use a 1080 gtx exactly

I get about 60 ish

[small dagger]

looks familiar to my setup, but I have laptop
RTX 4070, I7-13700HX, 32GB RAM so little less effective
Transfered from GTX1060 6GB and I7-8750H

[random flame]

RTX undervoltet @ 0.935v / 2730 - and powerlimit 80% draws 160 watt. my former 1080 was over 200 watt and 15-20 celsius hotter.

[small dagger]

Well... I won't comment temperatures because laptops are always hot 😄

[random flame]

yeah, i know this from my wifes laptop.

[small dagger]

One day I'll buy PC... but first I need to finish all schools 🤣

[rapid tide]

put laptop in freezer

play from freezer

[small dagger]

or just cook dinner on CPU

[random flame]

I mean i used my gtx 1080 nearly 7 years. but at the end vram crashed / fucked up.

[rapid tide]

I got this 1080 gtx from a friend that been using it for 8 years

[small dagger]

I've been using my previous laptop for 5 years and it's still running pretty good, gonna clean it and give it to family

[random flame]

i would not have changed the graphic card if this had not happened. in first place the update from ryzen 1800x to 5700x on the same mainboard got me some nice fps boost.

1080 / 1080TI were such good cards!

[small dagger]

yeah, true

[pallid stag]

1080 Ti here going on its 6th year

it's a FTW3, EVGA was so good at GPUs (RIP)

with them out it's a gamble for a good brand for future upgrade, maybe MSI

[wide edge]

where did you access the game in the panel?

[small dagger]

changed settings to same, what did you change in ingame settings?

[random flame]

SMAA to very high.

and under MCM - SSS Settings: Grass shadow quality: high

just there not under the common settings. SSS Shadows are not that demanding.

[small dagger]

Thanks. Copied them, we'll see the difference in FPS when I finish agroprom underground, but looks like I'm a little lost in there 😄

[random flame]

yeah, keep us updated. iam looking forward to see what it will do with your fps. 😄

[random flame]

btw. iam @ 2560x1440

[small dagger]

Haven't installed mods you have yet, but we'll see how settings affect with normal gamma trees 😄

meanwhile running through agroprom

I don't even know where to go

[unkempt niche]

is that thing worth turning on ?

[random flame]

It is smoothing out the edges and for me and my setup it does not hit the fps too hard.

just test it out.

[small dagger]

75 fps instead 100, in action I'll get some serious drops probably

[random flame]

ok, thats a lot... 😦 Sorry!

[small dagger]

No problem, just testing 😄

I always can change to standard settings

[random flame]

you have to figure out what hits fps hard and change it back to standard. GAMMA looks great as it is. Everything above is just the icing on the cake.

but i highly recommend the newest Atmos from hippo.

[small dagger]

oh nvm, still 90 fps in agroprom

I had limit to 100 how idk how big drop is 😄

doesn't look bad, I'm afraid to add more grass so I'll stay with these settings

turned on "levels" in shader menu and... it makes difference

[unkempt niche]

1920 more fps or 2560 and less fps? which to choose? Dilemma when you have both res

gotta love a clean UI

[sterile phoenix]

The game looks much nicer without the minecraft alpha fog. Definitely going to mess with this some more.

[runic stag]

ooooooo that does look nice

[sterile phoenix]

It was an easy change too. A little tedious though, as you have to enter 0's for every hour of day in the Atmospherics mod directory.

For the w_clear1 preset.

[bitter geyser]

can you maybe dm me and teach me how you made your game look like this? my in game grass looks super bad almost like it’s default, i have all the mods downloaded i just don’t understand

[small dagger]

Firstly I set everything like Keule_Minouge has and... that's all.
Gonna launch the game and make screenshots after I set all of those to default, because I thought it lowers my FPS. Looks like it was too many people in dark valley

[bitter geyser]

oh my! you use nvidia control panel as well to tweak this stuff?

[small dagger]

I gonna show you how it looks without tweaking and you can compare

that's how it looks after defaulting settings and removing nvidia tweaks. Dark Valley --> ~80fps, now I'm gonna make some changes in grass settings in mods

[bitter geyser]

that’s exactly how mine looks currently, If i change these settings and if fixes it for me i’m gonna be so grateful. I’ve been sitting here for literal hours trying to troubleshoot

also thank you very much for taking the time

[small dagger]

after tweaks only in those settings

well... I added too much grass in standard settings 🤣

GRASS EVERYWHERE. Don't change grass density to max if you wanna your PC work

I'm really liking this fog delete.

[runic stag]

that looks peng

[sterile phoenix]

It never made sense to me why a clear day would have so much fog. It clashed with the skybox. Now it's a clear atmosphere from the ground up.

[runic stag]

mind tossing over the weather file?

[sterile phoenix]

Yeah I can copy my edit and dm it to you

[small dagger]

Can you send me it too?

[real schooner]

between 50-90 depending on where im at

[shadow raven]

2080 here and a 9700k, I barely maintain my desired 60 fps with my settings at or near max. Can't even crank the shadow map and or SSR specific settings without getting my FPS completely devestated lmao.

[hearty gull]

same

[undone lava]

Is it better or worse with the enhancements

[real schooner]

bout the same

in that screenshot im using atmos benis edit, agressor grass and ground and some hud mods nothing special

also my graphical settings are pretty low
