He was a ~~good ~~ true stalker

[naive kiln]

manalet chilling

[willow sonnet]

beautiful

[lucid grotto]

It's always a bliss to return to that game and see the new pushes in immersion that happened.

[velvet marsh]

Hmm...

[lucid grotto]

A man and his dog together in death

[weak rain]

I think he loved that dog a little too much....

[compact wing]

Is this gun good? I have it in my stash but have never used it since 5.56 is kinda hard to come by on a duty playthrough.

[compact wing]

Cozy

[naive kiln]

Handles good and average rate of fire, perfect for medium range.

[wary palm]

good dame coffe

one day somebody rebuild cup model

and texture

cmon! work! oh, you shooting me?!

new shaders f*ckin amazing. water is so liqud 💦

rubbish, but holding this gun is cool

[robust carbon]

that residen evil

[wary palm]

exactly! 😄

[stiff urchin]

Starry night

[still olive]

@revolversoldelot what weapon is that?

[velvet marsh]

cz75

[nocturne horizon]

full auto cz75

[livid void]

Taken from a recording so quality isn't the greatest

[night wren]

bro share settings of the game please

[loud edge]

you guys still need reshade ? the newest update insanely improved the graphics

[vivid gale]

Primarily for color grading

[night wren]

what shadders are you using bro nd what in game settings

[wary palm]

No

[nocturne horizon]

Capa's reshade and game settings are pretty much same as for Zone Reality 0.3

[glad carbon]

Feels like volumetrics are working

[shell drift]

[nocturne mirage]

yeah, volumetrics

the only thing left is to make grass shadows from campfire light sources (to destroy fps c:)

just player volumetric shadow

[patent rain]

inverno with new shader is phenomenal

[craggy trellis]

New illumination is so good.

[undone copper]

looks amazing

[hearty gull]

new atmospherics is great

[wary palm]

but I miss the round sun :с

[frank wraith]

What reshade you use

[fallen bobcat]

ç

[strong echo]

Night to morning

[magic spruce]

Working on my own gun reposition mod...

[patent rain]

my bad meant the new sss

[hearty gull]

time to leave the scary forest

[hollow hawk]

@magic spruce how?

[magic spruce]

my reshade im workin on

[hoary pebble]

Omg what is that!! My heart started racing

[nocturne mirage]

swamps?

[jolly flicker]

my game looks so ugly it actually makes me cry

xdddd

trying to get similiar result to this from capa

[hoary pebble]

No like the settings and the reshade cause that is my ideal with stalker visuals

[magic spruce]

use his reshade then

and get a 4k monitor

because cappa plays in 4k

[jolly flicker]

playing on 1440p gonna try his reshade

[magic spruce]

do you have a nvida graphics card?

you can upscale to 4k

[jolly flicker]

im running a rtx 3080ti with i7 13600k

[magic spruce]

go here

and pick the factors

[jolly flicker]

will do it now mate

[magic spruce]

should look something like this

[jolly flicker]

my resolutions are much higher tho

[magic spruce]

what do they say?

[jolly flicker]

5120x2800 for 1.78dll

5760x3240 for 2.25dl

[magic spruce]

hm

check the other ones

other than DL

[magic spruce]

you can still upscale to these heights still though

might suffer some performance loss though

[nocturne mirage]

i can share my reshade, but fyi it's 6ms on gpu (capa is 1.5 ms on my machine). also, gamma value tweaked to 1.9 on the screenshot

[jolly flicker]

yea i just did but the menus are fucking small as fuck

so i think ima stuck with the native one and maybe try and use some anti allysing options

[magic spruce]

wdym menus?

[jolly flicker]

thats with capa reshade and

[jolly flicker]

hud

[hoary pebble]

I dont know half of those magic words lol saw your comment in #╟🎑reshades so ill check it out

[magic spruce]

turn this on

[jolly flicker]

oh okay

[magic spruce]

and change this if your desktop stuff is too small/large

[jolly flicker]

oh alright then but man the peformance goes DOWN

gonna have to suffer in 1440p

[magic spruce]

whta fps are you getting with it

also 1440p is NOT suffering lmao

i have to upscale from 1080p to 1440p

[jolly flicker]

im running 100 fps normal

[magic spruce]

and with the upscaled?

[jolly flicker]

40

[magic spruce]

oof

which one are you using?

5120x2800?

[jolly flicker]

yes

[magic spruce]

try one of these ones?

[jolly flicker]

dont have it

[magic spruce]

or try to find one that upscales to 2160?

you dont have th elegacy settings??????????

dang

[jolly flicker]

i do

[magic spruce]

welp

oh

so no 2160?

[jolly flicker]

but the resolutions

[magic spruce]

anything close to it?

[jolly flicker]

are much higher

the closest is the 4206x2366

[magic spruce]

try that one then

[jolly flicker]

tried it its still demanding
thanks for the help man but i think ill just unistall the game for now wait for an update or some thing

[magic spruce]

welp

i guess your card isnt made for upscaling lol

[magic spruce]

why?

your game still looks good

[jolly flicker]

nahhh it like

the grass seems so like dried out

idk its just weird

[magic spruce]

this still looks like capas game hough

[jolly flicker]

xdddd no it doesnt but thank you

this does tho

[magic spruce]

mannn

[jolly flicker]

shit looks unreal

[magic spruce]

that was before the gamma update too thoguh

we were using a darker uhhh

atmos

[jolly flicker]

its perfect tho

like the grass looks real and the textures looks crispy

not to dark not to bright

not talking about the resolution here

just the way the colours are matched nicely

[magic spruce]

yeah most likely because of the new colors that atmos is using in the recent update

he tuned it for that version of the game

he's making a new reshade though

[hoary pebble]

Literally looks like a pic from metro exodus

[jolly flicker]

yea dead ass man

[jolly flicker]

yea i know im just trying to make my game look like that

like comparing my game to his is a joke

[glossy helm]

Does anyone have any tips concerning anti-aliasing?

[magic spruce]

nah man yours still looks good

you just need to turn off the mask overlay

[jolly flicker]

idk my game seems so like

bright without colours

[magic spruce]

your game looks similar

maybe enable grass shadows?

and then go into SSS settings in mod settings

[jolly flicker]

its enabled

[magic spruce]

ok

go into SSS settings

and uhh

turn shadoww

whatever its called hold on

shadow cascades to medium

or high

[magic spruce]

oh.

[magic spruce]

wtf

no wonder you were getting 40 fps

turn that shit down boi

[jolly flicker]

i mean im getting 100 fps in 1440p

[magic spruce]

you only need 1536 shadow resolution

there's literally no difference

[magic spruce]

capa uses uh

130 grass render distance

less grass density

around 80% or default

and grass size at 0.8

[jolly flicker]

i see the difference when u look closely the shadows sometimes have waves effect

[magic spruce]

yeah

when you look close

if youre trying to play the game its not noticeable is what im saying

[jolly flicker]

yea dead ass xd why low grass?

[magic spruce]

god damn boy

[jolly flicker]

yes?

[magic spruce]

ok hold on let me show you something

[jolly flicker]

yes help a brother out in need

[magic spruce]

here is the differences between the shadow quality options

[jolly flicker]

low looks better idk why xd

[magic spruce]

why does everyone say that

[jolly flicker]

what the fuck is this

its much sharper

[magic spruce]

what you had here

you have your sun shadow quality is on extreme

its not needed

[jolly flicker]

i mean i thought it would be the best for this game

i guess not

[magic spruce]

nope

keep it ta medium

here's differences between sunray quality

not sure how much it affects fps

[jolly flicker]

oh isee a bit

[magic spruce]

look at the frames here for shadowmap

[jolly flicker]

xdddd oh shit

thats baddd

[magic spruce]

he's just like you sir

set that show loser please for your own sake

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/888103486724653086.webp?size=48&name=prayallah&quality=lossless '

what the

[jolly flicker]

ill set it LOW

[magic spruce]

🙏

yeah but your shadowmap

you have it on 3072

well also capa's on a 4070

so he's jsut a beast

[magic spruce]

i mean the gpu

not the shadowmap lol

[jolly flicker]

yeaaa i mean i know the gpu can run it as i run the cybperunk on 995 mods

but its different

innit

[magic spruce]

yeah

you can probably get 60-70 fps when upscaling

if you tone down these unecessary settings

especially that shadowmap

[magic spruce]

here

and in the launcher probably

[jolly flicker]

welll

somehow

lowering the settings my game is runnign worse now xd

85 fps

[magic spruce]

are you in the same spot you changed them

[jolly flicker]

same one

[magic spruce]

and you restarted your game?

[jolly flicker]

yes

doing it again

[magic spruce]

huh

werid

maybe somethings going on with the ai in the background

fps is weird in anomaly ok

[jolly flicker]

maybe we see in a min after resttartd

[magic spruce]

this is why im moving on from my 2-3 year old 3060 laptop

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834156425

to this new i9 4070 one

also 1440p

[jolly flicker]

will be the best option i cant lie to you

okayyyy

im giving up

game is running at 60 fps now xddddd

[magic spruce]

still good

not sure wtf is going on lmao

this was happening to me today too

[jolly flicker]

man i cant lie i cant play like this

[magic spruce]

you cant play at 60 fps?

what's wrong with you

[jolly flicker]

i know innit

[magic spruce]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/624719068536111108.webp?size=48&name=pepecry&quality=lossless

[jolly flicker]

so used to high fps

[magic spruce]

he's been corrupted

[jolly flicker]

yep

had a shitty ass pc for way to long and after building my second pc

i cant go back to 60 fps

[magic spruce]

dang

[jolly flicker]

Well i guess roblox dayz we go

[magic spruce]

roblox dayz?

send me link

[jolly flicker]

xddddd

sure cousin

https://www.roblox.com/games/863266079/Apocalypse-Rising-2

xd

[magic spruce]

wait wait wait

i had early acess to that game

nice

[velvet marsh]

I must be dumb or something, how did you access these shadow and light settings?

[magic spruce]

SSS settings

in mod config menu

[velvet marsh]

Ooh alright

I'm also trying to squeeze a lil bit more fps out of my game lol

[magic spruce]

them settings are higher than default

those are for grass shadwos

[velvet marsh]

Ah alright gotcha

[lucid grotto]

Just to say thanks for those comparisons. Got a few fps back from those

[magic spruce]

👍

[autumn helm]

Guys, I just learned the cfg_load atmos trick to solve my dark as fucking looking GAMMA. But there is more like that? someone suggested a "sprint" variation.

I need documentation plz 😛

[velvet marsh]

A nice day in the zone, a rarity

[uncut bridge]

Absolutely unmodified vanilla GAMMA and looking and running better than it was before the update lol

[ionic sequoia]

Some people really do spaming basics screenshot

[vital fjord]

Out on Patrol

[naive kiln]

Thats exactly what this channel is for.. sherlock!

[tidal spade]

Mine still looks bad :(((
Perhaps, I should do a full update with larger files, not just a hotfix.
Btw, any advices on game’s AA? Even with reshade (SMAA or IMMENSE AA) grass looks very pixelated. Even in 1440p

[neon idol]

wide

[ionic sequoia]

Spaming? Don't think so. You could literally make one post and add your images so I wouldn't have to scroll the entire screen on my phone. You do you anyway... sherlock

[naive kiln]

poor you

[ionic sequoia]

I'm just trying to help you formatting but again you do you you're just muted

[naive kiln]

bleh, the way i see it you now just spaming a screenshots channel with nonsense

[magic spruce]

cold im sorry but he is right

you aint gotta spam all those scerenshots in here

[naive kiln]

less talk, more screenies please.

[loud edge]

so cozy, i want to join them

[velvet marsh]

He was a good stalker.

[naive kiln]

DS

[night wren]

bro which reshade and in game settings ??

[verbal narwhal]

Default GAMMA is stunning.

[tepid jetty]

Just done a fresh new install and running cfg_load_atmos. Looks amazing.

[clever badger]

hi there

this is what I came up with and fps is no more than 30 tops

[hollow hawk]

is it vanilla gamma w/o reshade?😄

[clever badger]

I have no idea about reshades to be honest, I just wanna get this this thing to work

It seems to me like the game isn't even using the dedicated gpu

[stoic moss]

another bricked invictus playthrough, another character...

cooked up a pretty lightweight reshades if anyone wanted it

[glacial nest]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[clever badger]

I knoooooooow

[verbal narwhal]

vanilla, seconds after installation

[clever badger]

I've got gamma on

just don't know how to tinker with shaders

[robust carbon]

what grass is that

[ionic sequoia]

GAMMA is like plug and play so if there's something wrong you prob did something wrong

[oak wave]

How bruh Mine was the total opposite I got less fps and the game looks shittier

[jolly flicker]

Aydnn grass

[robust carbon]

@rotund raptor can you share your user settings

[jovial cedar]

Or there is something that needs to be fixed and will possibly be fixed in the near future, GAMMA is not infallible ever, although I do reckon that most of the time it's on the user side

[night wren]

how to make game default ?? nd remove reshade ?

[jovial cedar]

Update GAMMA with the launcher, and to remove Reshade, tick the box "delete Reshade DLLs" in said launcher

[night wren]

rest all 3 should be checked ??

[silent cloak]

how did you manage to get that glow on the weapon?

[jolly flicker]

is that normal?

[silent cloak]

its cfg_load Atmos

[jolly flicker]

shit xddd thanks mate

[silent cloak]

ur welcome

Water looking really watery

[fathom beacon]

aint no way bro 💀 (spoilers for true stalker)

[verbal narwhal]

i didnt do nothing more than reinstalling SSS

[ionic sequoia]

You had problem with the game? Why did you reinstall SSS? Yes i'm curious

[silent cloak]

There's a new version 19.0 with improved things and performance

[verbal narwhal]

i have reinstalled SSS because in default only first 3 options are active if i remember correctly

[silent cloak]

yes

[silent cloak]

btw what are your settings with sss because i can't get the same gloss on the weapon

[celest sonnet]

#myroadtothenorth

[verbal narwhal]

SSS settings are untouched, all default

[silent cloak]

So no grass shadows to ultra no cascades?

[verbal narwhal]

oh yeah, i set all at ultra

[silent cloak]

ah thats why

[verbal narwhal]

but i thought its obvious

[silent cloak]

Not for me my pc suffers from skill issues

so i keep everything to ultra but i cry when my fps drops

[digital kite]

Capa Reshade with TFAA + quint motion vectors + HDR (fakehdr.fx). Grass shadows on and at Ultra in SSS. I wanna say my gamma is at .8 or .9, saturation at 1.3, and brightness at 1.1. I'll post more when I get home later.

[night wren]

ok bro

[jolly flicker]

is there a big difference between grass shadow high and ultra in sss?

[digital kite]

Can't remember if I'm using Atmos or Atmosr cfg_load because I keep switching back and forth between them

[digital kite]

I thought I heard someone mention the ultra setting enables something else too but I don't remember. Probably not a massive difference tho.

Im running vanilla gamma too, haven't got around to installing zone reality or anything else since update

[jolly flicker]

Yea it looks nice im just trying to fix my edges now

like around grass and leaves and stuff

[digital kite]

Hard to beat TFAA + DRME/motion vectors for that. I'm using MXAO too since that's how the Capa Reshade handled grass shadows before and now grass just looks too bright to me if I turn it off, so I just take the huge performance hit lol

[jolly flicker]

i mean i somehow fixed my game and im running 130 fps on ultra

like before i was barely doing 60 on the same spot

i just updated the SSS from 18 to 19 version

even with grass set on ultra my fps is stil lthe same

[jovial cedar]

You could try Glamarye Fake GI alongside GloomAO ?

[jolly flicker]

but yea im looking to make my edges look nicer now

[jovial cedar]

The edges of ?

[jolly flicker]

let me show u

well cant really see it on the ss but

its very like sharp

[jovial cedar]

Try HoleFiller

[jolly flicker]

holefiller okay

[open finch]

Where can I try Capa's Reshade?

[jolly flicker]

is there a way to install more effects as the gamma reshade only has limited options and i dont wannna unistall it all

[jovial cedar]

And tweak your sharpness with either FXAA in Glamarye or SMAA

[jovial cedar]

Go into Reshade settings

You can add a path for shaders there

Add NGShade or something like that then reload Reshade with the reload button down

[digital kite]

I was messing with that last night but I couldn't get it how I wanted it so I just gave up. I'll probably mess with it more later or just wait until Capa releases a new reshade that drops the MXAO for better SSS settings.

[jovial cedar]

You could but honestly it's quite rewarding to manage the look you want without much help

[open finch]

Where can I try Capa's Reshade, guys?

[digital kite]

If I was more knowledgeable about what settings did what I would agree but I've been playing this game for over a year and I feel like I'm only just now getting a grasp on what is really helping the game look better. Sometimes I just want to click on a preset and not have to think about it.

[rotund otter]

Here

#╟📸screenshots message

[jovial cedar]

That's why there are people making presets that's for sure, I can understand that, to be fair there are many factors, but more importantly it's a matter of how you perceive things, what is good looking for you basically

Not an easy thing to appeal to the mass

[open finch]

I meant the link to download, huh.

[open finch]

Ah, it's above, sorry.

Thanks.

[rotund otter]

Np enjoy it! = ) Don´t forget to get reinline and DepthHaze!

[open finch]

Will do, thanks.

[jovial cedar]

Beautiful skybox, what weather ?

[short stream]

TY, can't remember, i wasn't in weather editor, was playing casually and suddenly emission but i think it was clear before

[jovial cedar]

Well if it's Atmospherics at least I know this is somewhere in my game, thank you

[jovial cedar]

Did it work ?

[short stream]

I have default GAMMA modpack, nothing else

[jolly flicker]

yea a little

[jovial cedar]

Afterward it's about tweaking sharpness in Glamarye if you're using it or simply use SMAA

[nocturne horizon]

okay hol up-

[orchid drum]

what mask mod you using Lars? quite fancy trying it

[robust carbon]

navs 4k normal gas mask

[crystal karma]

reshade？

[nocturne horizon]

Capa's reshade

[crystal karma]

the one in gsheet？

[nocturne horizon]

Yeap

Sorry for late answer had some work to do

[loud edge]

settings / modlist / reshade ?

[magic spruce]

its not ready

my clear1 looks like this

[orchid drum]

Not gonna lie... so far i am not digging the change over to the new LUT system with SSS and atmospherics. I think its ruined all old reshade presets (including yours and CAPA's)

Just think the game looks mostly washed out and bland now =/

[magic spruce]

nah i disagree

the update wasnt made for reshade, it was made specifically to be uesd without reshade

[orchid drum]

i get that

[magic spruce]

using reshades that were made prior to the update rae going to look different than before

[orchid drum]

I just have yet to tweak a preset to my liking... i cant get anything to look good like before.

its gone from looking like this

to this

[humble quiver]

1st one looks better imo

[orchid drum]

yep...

unless i have fucked up the shader + atomos update some how... it looks like im running on lower graphics now compared to first

[humble quiver]

oh didnt get context of the photos i see what u mean now lol

[orchid drum]

its not a perfect comparison... i cant get same time of day right (im guessing roughly going by position of sun) and im more or less using the same preset which was CAPA's

[magic spruce]

nah you didnt

the new atmos is brighter i think

you can always turn off the lut though

ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0

[orchid drum]

let me try that... will save me re-installing the sahders to disable it

eh

Gonna see if i can revert back to old atmos, add the wind config to it and disable luts in the shader

[vital fjord]

Don't just Survive, thrive

[wary palm]

zero days on horizon 🔭

[night wren]

is this gamma ??

[orchid drum]

YES

oops sorry caps 😄

[night wren]

can you help me making my game like this ??

[orchid drum]

not anymore... this is what i was saying. The old version of atmospherics + the older version of SSS has been updated and what i have now is below.

I dont have the old versions of thise mods to revert back to.

Gotta wait for reshade presets to update to the new base game visiuals now.

[night wren]

so how your game looks now ?

[orchid drum]

the screenshots below that

[night wren]

yes it looks different

[orchid drum]

Thats looking damn good capa

I'll continuing playing when you finish this new preset 😄

I've lost all motivation now since the game just does not look good after the update IMO

[jovial cedar]

I feel you, the new update probably forced everyone to redo their presets

[warm narwhal]

how can i use LUT with new update

i was using reshade all time

[orchid drum]

if you've updated gamma in the last few days then it will be on by default

[orchid drum]

Yeah im in no way saying what the work Hippo and Shaders guy has done is bad... its just... different and will take time now for everyone to re-work what they have done.

Im sure in the long run, ditching parts in enhanced shaders for this new LUT system will be better.

[worn valve]

Rough thunderstorm.

[warm narwhal]

but how can i change luts? i didnt understand new lut thing

[orchid drum]

🤷‍♂️ Its baked into atmospherics so... you'd have to create your own luts to change them or disable LUTs within SSS and then use reshade to apply your own blanket one

Its basically like a colour correction filter. With Atmospherics, Hippo has created an individual colour correction filter for each map in the game VS what we had before which was 1 LUT that was applied to everything. Im probably wrong though as i dont know anything 😄

[vital fjord]

Home away from Home

[crystal karma]

Which part of the preset is messed up with the new sss and atmos?

[cloud bronze]

Haven't played in a month, just updated yesterday. I feel like my game looks horrible compared to before?

[strange finch]

I warned of this

[strange finch]

How does it look worse, just looking for feedback

[orchid drum]

Everything just looks... washed out. There seems to be no depth / contrast to the image anymore. Its personal taste though... i liked it with the autumn colours when everything had more of a brown feel to it. Now with the new Luts... its trying to force more natural colours onto the image and the end result is... meh.

You can see from the screenshots above what i went from before the update to after...

[strange finch]

For this comparison

is any of these with reshade vs without?

[orchid drum]

Both are witht he same reshade 😄

Capa's reshade

[strange finch]

oh well capa has to rework his reshade

thats your issue

[orchid drum]

i know...

[strange finch]

atmospherics changed completely

[orchid drum]

I feel like its not as good without reshade enabled but again its personal taste

[strange finch]

You mean generally?

for any atmos version

I mean yeah it wont

[orchid drum]

yeah just generally it all feels like a step back (aside from the new shader affects, wind, rain etc)

im not saying its bad... its just... eh hard to say. Its not to my personal tastes and i am trying to tweak what i can to get back to how the game use to look. If i could disable LUTS, take your new weather settings and apply them to the older version of atmospherics, that would be perfect 😄

[white orchid]

Its always gonna look different without a bunch of post processing effects

[strange finch]

Ofcourse

in the screen silver posted you can tell there is alot more going on such as vignette etc etc

[orchid drum]

I know... im terrible when it comes to change. I get stuck in my ways. I mean what you've just shown in your screenshots looks great (i assume thats with the new LUT change) and i know in the long run, using this new LUT system will be miles better

[strange finch]

how it looks on my end at the moment

[orchid drum]

I was just finally really really happy with how the game looked, and then..bam! dramatic change

[strange finch]

Also wind is directly related to cloud cover as a result certain areas will have more or less light compared to before, its hard to explain the weather system in anomaly is a bit weird

[white orchid]

looks really clean

[strange finch]

Are you working on a spring preset or just updating everything for the new SSS and atmos

[strange finch]

Thanks, I try to provide a blank clean preset so that others like yourself can do even more

[white orchid]

im updating my preset might mess around with luts aswell

[orchid drum]

Hope ive not offended you. I do reaally appriciate what you've done hippo 😄

[strange finch]

You're good, you've been around since the beggining so I understand

[strange finch]

If you need help with it let me know

Because you could bake in your color grading into a lut and do any extra stuff in reshade thus saving your users on performance

[orchid drum]

On a fresh install of anomaly with and without reshade. Using Capa's as a base and tweaked a few things. I know mine is dark and miserable but thats how i like it 😄

[strange finch]

I think its fine just decrease the vignette strength

and it'll look proper

[orchid drum]

Can you disable LUTs perminently? i have to type ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0 every time

[strange finch]

disable it in the script

[nocturne geode]

clouds are gone. are you sure you're using capa's skyfix version

[strange finch]

Didnt even notice the clouds

[orchid drum]

just the old capa's one, i cant find the skyfix one again

you got it nofair?

[strange finch]

thought it was cloudy weather lol

[nocturne geode]

might be this

[orchid drum]

cheers bud

[nocturne geode]

idk if i touched it :p

[orchid drum]

i had it but i had changed too much on it

[nocturne geode]

yeah capa had the same issue as me, fixed by putting reveil for regrade

the little cheat

[strange finch]

I remember reading about that

[white orchid]

yea reinline destroyed the sky

[strange finch]

was a good workaround

[nocturne geode]

It works completely well even with things like ambient light which blow up the clouds usually, as well

[strange finch]

Here you for anyone that cares a script that disables luts

[orchid drum]

with skyfix

[strange finch]

put this in the scripts folder for atmospherics

[craggy trellis]

Looks good!

[nocturne geode]

you can achieve this look in the latest atmos by just tweaking the preset itself, if it changed or smth. all presets will have to adapt themselves, but with change comes good things

[jovial cedar]

You did, I'm not regretting it, I redid my preset and went on with it, but I can feel the pain to redo it from others

[strange finch]

For sure

I think in the longrun this change was much needed to have working godrays

once everyone is familiar with the SSS lut system

[jovial cedar]

True, better adapt now than too late

[strange finch]

everyone will be much happier with it performance wise

[white orchid]

so new sss has volumetric lights?

[nocturne geode]

For me this is the best sss+atmos version ever because i can simply create better universal presets. the lut module that people will choose is gonna do most of the colorgrading for me

[strange finch]

Yes

For me its the fact that nights look good now and dont have that washed out look anymore

[craggy trellis]

Campfires look amazing

[strange finch]

I think it would be really cool if we can have the community vote on which presets suit which maps the best

[jovial cedar]

Btw, would you recommend leaving Force Volumetric Light off ? Can it leads to issues ?

[strange finch]

would be cool to have a universal lut that features capas, norfair, cs edens, lars, and myself

all in a lut_atlas for specific maps

Example: CS Edens for rostok

capas for garbage

norfair for cordon

etc etc

[jovial cedar]

Would love to, I updated my gamma fully today and redid a preset with the new versions, gotta test it out tomorrow

[white orchid]

Yeah that would be cool

[strange finch]

Not sure how it would be organized

[nocturne geode]

Some of my lut suites will start with extending my key luts, like ghost , to an entire set, for each level, so i'd have a full grim zone that starts a little bit grim and it gets super fcked up the norther you go, for example

[strange finch]

I guess taking screenshots of certain areas in a map and have the community vote which suits which map the best

[jovial cedar]

I had an idea as well but I'm not sure how realisable it can be

[strange finch]

whats up?

[jovial cedar]

Using recoloring shaders to turn Spring trees to Summer to Autumn then more deadlike Autumn as you progress in the Zone, we can already mix Aydin's grass per season all around the Zone but the trees we can't

[nocturne geode]

And now we can also have a "lush to dead" type zone by simply using Aydin Spring textures and making a suite that has lush luts for the south, and dead-like luts for the north

Lol we said the same thing yeah

[jovial cedar]

[nocturne geode]

Eden got it right ❤️

We can now basically colorgrade trees per level

absolutely amazing

[strange finch]

Would be cool but lets say your change the color orange to be more golden for autumn you risk changing other aspects of that map that you dont

[jovial cedar]

Norfair got it right 💙

[strange finch]

might be feasable, who knows

[jovial cedar]

Hence my question

[strange finch]

would love to see it done

[nocturne geode]

Yeah it's possible!

[strange finch]

Well I

[jovial cedar]

I showed a change from Spring to Autumn to Norfair before

[strange finch]

I'm gonna be lazy and sit this one out

[nocturne geode]

You gotta use aydin spring to give yourself an easier time with the colorgrading

[strange finch]

you guys sort this out and let me know how it goes

if it works I can include it in atmospherics

[nocturne geode]

For the south, shift greens toward blues and for the north, shift them towards orange and lower their value and saturation

Yeah we'll work it out

Eden and I talk on the regular

about all this

🍻

[nocturne geode]

Would it be feasible to include it as an optional lut pack/suite, so ppl can just click it (as if it was a preset)

With time we'll have multiple of this types of suites though, completely optional and uploaded somewhere here

[orchid drum]

Starting to look better for me.

I love the cloudy dark weather with the light snow

[strange finch]

Yes

[sinful linden]

FPS?

[nocturne geode]

thats all i need to know, perfect. Thanks Hippo for your work, dude

[strange finch]

I sent the two of you friend requests

@white orchid you too

[white orchid]

does it affects interiors and other stuff aswell?

[craggy trellis]

does this just go in anomaly bin?

[jovial cedar]

So far the only issue I have is a shift in green color, meaning Freedom camo is dull, loner like, and fruit punch anomalies give a pinkish light

[strange finch]

It would help you all out if you subbed to martymcfly for a month so you can grab regrade ultimate

so you can color grade like a pro

Its performance heavy but you just use it to colorgrade then just bake it into a lut

[jovial cedar]

Sadly this will be for a much later future, financial situation is not looking good this past months

Quint Regrade doesn't do ?

[white orchid]

yeah thats some proffessional shit

[strange finch]

quint regrade is much simpler

the ultimate version has way more to play around with

[jovial cedar]

Oh, gotcha, I'll see what I can do when the time will come

[strange finch]

I think its $9 for the patreon version to get the ultimate version

If you need me to spot you that just lmk

[jovial cedar]

No need for the moment, no worries, I'll be doing better around February anyway ^^

[orchid drum]

That script Hippo does not seem to disable LUTs... unless i am doing something stupid

[strange finch]

Did you overwrite the other one?

[orchid drum]

yep, cleared shaders too...

[strange finch]

it should

intensity is set to 0

[orchid drum]

Lut is still enabled when you load in, ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0 disables it and re-loading map enables the lut again

[strange finch]

brb let me try

[glad carbon]

Do not look. You will never sleep again.

[strange finch]

just checked, it works

the first number is set to 0

which is all that matters

[orchid drum]

... the hell am i doing wrong then, its deffinately in the correct install

[strange finch]

you also dont need to clear shader cache for scripts just fyi

[orchid drum]

ah right, i just do it naturally when ever i change anything to do with weather or shaders 😄

[strange finch]

fair

[orchid drum]

i'll figure it out, im steadily getting more drunk and i have no work to go to in morning so i'll sit here all night

[strange finch]

but yeah if you drop it into the scripts folder for atmospherics it should work, as long as nothing is overwritting it in your load order

Like so

[orchid drum]

yeah thats where i put it

[strange finch]

idk

[orchid drum]

oh im a moron i know what it is... i was testing those new lvls for anomaly and had the LUT fix added to them so that would have overwrote your LUT script

yep fixed 😄 put the levels below atmospherics

[grizzled heath]

jesus christ just spin the knobs right? 💀💀

[glad carbon]

Great job Lab X18, you scared the shit out of me. Saw a box slowly shift from behind a corner, i stopped and waited, held my breath-TWO SNORKS JUMP AT MY FACE FROM NOWHERE CLAWING AT MY EYES! X18 claims another military.

[gritty flare]

Yo😂, but i get boned rly hard 😅

[proper ivy]

yo good job Max thats looking crazy

[proper ivy]

Vanilla gamma no reshade with the saturation turned up + aydins winter grass, game out of the box is looking

[sharp apex]

night is spooky as usual without NVG

[neon idol]

just sleep

going around at night without nvg's is a easy way to get yourself killed

[magic spruce]

dang capa

i think thats the most reactions you've got yet

[flint surge]

Hey, question! Its showing clear day in debug but its still so damn foggy. What mod is causing this issue?

[desert meteor]

Cordon can be such a nice place

why is the sks in your jaw

this aint DOOM 1993 wtf

[magic spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-guy-twerk-gif-25604234

[magic spruce]

(not saying that they look bad and that the guy that is using that reposition should stop using them and i am not trying to insult him in any way)

(dont ban me mods)

[slender tundra]

[novel depot]

That's one way of aiming down sight

[gray topaz]

dx8, shitton of shaders just for the screenshot, YAWM

Asking here is anyone knows, what is that weird spot in the middle? It wasn't there last update and looks awful. Any help would be nice.

any way to fix the ugly dark spots?

[magic spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/ffxiv-louisoix-final-fantasy-gif-15070709

[copper stream]

ik dark areas have less quality in general but this is absurd and gamma/saturation/brightness doesn't help

[magic spruce]

try activating windows

[magic spruce]

bro

[brisk violet]

You know, we get payed double for night shifts..... I'm starting to think I'd do them anyway.

Fun fact Stalker, there is little to no light pollution in the Zone

[wooden ermine]

based individualist take. i just think that having a 4kg rifle upside your head held parallel to your eyes isnt exactly realistic while youre jogging through the wildness. ive always felt like the "weapon up" position is more of a hipfire than actually aiming which it kinda can seem like with some default positions. i like it when blind firing feels, well, blind.
and no need to apologise youre allowed to have an opinion, anyone who gets upset about having their video game gun positions made fun of has way bigger problems imo lmao

you can absolutely give me shit about my "immersive double-d cleavage on snorks" mod tho, i deserve hell for that

[stoic moss]

^ thats why i prefer meowie’s repos
imagine running 5 klicks with a rifle held up to ur shoulder

[gritty flare]

I think that, something with that old fat Sid is not right

[night wren]

bro game settings nd reshade please

[sharp steeple]

wtf kind of nasa computer do you own

also how did you make stalker look like a natgeo documentary in Africa

for last shot I mean

[scenic shell]

lower the gamma
or use reshade's "levels" to decrease the black point a lil

[hardy rose]

Nice reposition... It's yours custom or kinda mod?

[normal wren]

it's my own! took like 3 hours to make

[hardy rose]

Nice

[normal wren]

it's only for that weapon, i'm using this: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1118909693813862492 as base for the other weapons

[normal wren]

thanks for noticing i appreciate it

[clever badger]

That's insane.. would you mind to share with us?

[novel elk]

letter to natalie, memoir

now i feel bad

[clever badger]

The bigger they are the harder they fall ( this isnt even my biggest one)

[pastel epoch]

what exactly do you want me to share?

[clever badger]

My gpu just caught on fire looking at that

[normal wren]

what's with the ghost trees and blurry foliage

is it accidental because of the screenshot or really low MIP bias/world rendering

[night wren]

can you tell me the settings nd reshades bro ??

[clever badger]

I want to play gamma like yours xD

Reshade, settings idk everything to look like yours

[pastel epoch]

It's my gas mask that blurs the sides so much)

[normal wren]

i wouldn't call the middle of the image "sides" 💀

[pastel epoch]

Let's discuss this in private messages?

[normal wren]

but i was told it's the mask overlay or the world render being turned down

[pastel epoch]

Oh, you're talking about this

[pastel epoch]

Yes indeed, I did it for the thick fog

[normal wren]

what reposition is that?

[magic spruce]

meowie

[normal wren]

huh

i don't recall my pistol looking like that

[magic spruce]

did you check all of them

[normal wren]

no but i believe i am using the same one as you are in the screenshot

actually is that the Fnx

[magic spruce]

no

[normal wren]

or Lebedev

[magic spruce]

yes

[normal wren]

then no i'm not using the same one

[magic spruce]

[normal wren]

i believe i main the P220 and didn't like how the running animation looked so i disabled the entire thing lol

maybe i should fix it manually 🤔

[magic spruce]

just reposition it yourself

[normal wren]

that's what i'm thinkin lover

[magic spruce]

i just make the running one like

up in the air

instead of all down

[normal wren]

yeah it has to be

i don't like the bobbing-up-down downward-pointing pistol

it looks goofy

you're right let me go do that right now

[magic spruce]

yeah

[uncut bridge]

We do a little tomfoolery

[normal wren]

should look something like this yeah @magic spruce?

[magic spruce]

way to far to the right

but yea

it shouldnt move that far away from the origional position

[normal wren]

i can't get it to rotate towards the face properly

[magic spruce]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

do you have this?

[normal wren]

yeah of course

i wouldn't be able to do this otherwise lol

[magic spruce]

the red numbers move it to the side

you would have

but sure

just click on the

lowered position

and drag it to the left more

and if it's rotated to far to the right

(away from your face)

do lowered hand orientation

and move it back to a straight position

[nocturne geode]

i do my repositions like this, down low, like b0nesy explained

[normal wren]

ended up at the default resting position lmao

[magic spruce]

klip what the fuck are you doign

[normal wren]

if i want it to rotate correctly when resting

i

[magic spruce]

i only think that the postils should be repositioned like that

why are you holding the shotgun in your belly

it doesnt make sense

[nocturne geode]

lmfao

[normal wren]

no i mean the holstered position is fine but now the drawn one is like the old one

[nocturne geode]

you ever heard about

[magic spruce]

what

what are you diogn klip

[nocturne geode]

hip firing

[magic spruce]

no hip firing isnt done from your solar plexus norfair

[nocturne geode]

Alright you know better than me, I only own 4 guns

[magic spruce]

yeah i own 10

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1075219851968266401.webp?size=48&name=Shrug&quality=lossless

[normal wren]

✅ rekt
⬛ not rekt

[magic spruce]

wait klip

show me what the origional position is

like normal and then the lowered holstered one

cuz im confused

[normal wren]

one sec, had to reload because i fucked up

default

rest

so when you run it just bobs up and down

[magic spruce]

ok hold on

let me try anad reposition it

[normal wren]

oh shit i think i got it

it just i had to move orientation waaaaay up

and then fix the position to lower it

although i still can't get it to rotate towards my face without touching the original hands pos

[magic spruce]

ok give me a sec

[normal wren]

no worries man i got it fixed

[magic spruce]

just had to set up my modpack again

[normal wren]

i came to a satisfactory result

[magic spruce]

i reinstalled gamma in hopes that my performance improves

[normal wren]

thanks for the idea

[magic spruce]

you can probably just replace the old mod_system.ltx for that gun in meowi's pistol mod

[normal wren]

i will, that's what i did with the AK-12 i repositioned

it was unusable

oh yikes i actually ran into an issue

if i use the alt position Meowie set the laser is misalinged

i'll have to fix that

i wanna make it do a cool tilt like in vanilla

not entirely sure how to go about doing that

whatever it's okay i like the results i have

[magic spruce]

very good sir

[nocturne geode]

If you mean the fact that it's too centered, and it should be more to the right, as in, anchoring to the hip, yes, that is right, but this is just personal preference, no need to gatekeep a reposition...

[magic spruce]

it does look good though

it jus doesnt look right functionally

does that make sense?

[nocturne geode]

Yeah I get what you meant

I'll move it to the right, because with a pistol you can actually anchor it to your belly but not a shotgun, I agree on that

[magic spruce]

maybe if you had like a body cam reshade it would make a lot more sense

like a helmet cam that's anchored to the right of the helm

[nocturne geode]

Yeah, as if the camera was placed on the right of the helmet or smth

[magic spruce]

yeah exactly

or maybe like a go pro lol

right now im suffering looking through anomaly's engine code

[nocturne geode]

I like the companion cam from Ready or not

[magic spruce]

read or not has some interesting weapon positions

[nocturne geode]

this one

[magic spruce]

yeah that looks relaly cool

[warm narwhal]

oh i see now, thanks

[nocturne geode]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY6U0GcqELY what do you think bout this

[magic spruce]

i think it might be possible for me to implelment it with the same old inertia im using

im trying to make ienrtia for the masks only work when im walking

or maybe a lot more intensive when walking

as per grok's request

[nocturne geode]

Yeah I was gonna tell you about this, or if it was also possible to make the mask textures (like groks or navs) move a little too

Good stuff

[magic spruce]

i could probably do that

[nocturne geode]

If you do that'd be awesome

[magic spruce]

i'd just have to figure out where to put the fake scope param code

but right now i have to look through a 737 line code

[nocturne geode]

No hurry, take it easy

[magic spruce]

idk wtf is happening in that screenshot but its cool asf

[normal wren]

very cool mixture of colors

[pastel epoch]

too much action haha)

[gloomy steeple]

is this the last update? i like the saturation on the pic, are you using a reshade?

[uncut bridge]

I still need to fix some things, but yeah it's Zone Reality 0.2 together with Norfair reshade

Also some basic lightning settings ofc

[gloomy steeple]

it looks nice thanks for the info
