theres no point in releasig yet another closed source exes.

tho, i can share all necessary edits

[vernal gale]

Yea, just for screenshots

IMMERSE shaders

Imo it's useless

Unless you want to explore the game and take screenshots all day,

[strange finch]

You think we play this game?

[vernal gale]

Okay this one was hard

[timber cobalt]

Well I tried very hard to make the interiors a little more like that but still not good enough

Of course I'm not using Reshade

[vernal gale]

Well that's really good

[vernal gale]

Yea reshade is dead, just right after hippos sharpening for SSS

[strange finch]

Not mine, its LVs, I made one small edit to it before that edit was not needed after LV made it bilinear

[timber cobalt]

I still need to update my Gamma to use SSS 23 and hippos sharpening

[twilit sparrow]

Does anyone know which AK is this? Thank you.

Well, technically it's not a remaster, just another buggy console port on PCs

[cunning terrace]

Very nice, esp the bright visuals ❤️ been keepin track and absolutely been lovin them

[timber cobalt]

Oh Yeah

[astral apex]

I thought the first picture was real wow...

[cunning terrace]

👍 really like it, what are you using actually curious

[timber cobalt]

For weather is Memory of Home (W.I.P) For textures I'm using ATO 2K

[tulip bronze]

Jesus christ thats crisp

[tulip bronze]

Will Memory of home be released soon?

[livid haven]

Changing around a swamps texture yet again, i think im finally happy

[timber cobalt]

Honestly I don't know, I'm still coding some shaders to fix some problems, still a lot of work to do to the weathers as well

[tulip bronze]

Nice nice. From what you've shown over the last few days it looks baller. Keep it up!

[timber cobalt]

Yep, remaking the mod from the zero was a tough choice but worth it

[tulip bronze]

I bet, tho hopefully from reacts and peoples reactions it keeps you going!

[timber cobalt]

Totally, Sometimes when I think it is not good enough, it's the feedback that makes me go forward

[tame wigeon]

Thats emergent zone LUT (i dont remeber which one exactly) and that`s reshade preset

yes and no no impact on perf

[tulip bronze]

Wow, I need to do this now. I wanna see what the mutants look like wtf. It looks like dx10 on the instructions there, is that right?

[dire needle]

from what my smooth brain understand it only changes filtering on textures etc.. i just copied what someone smart did and tell how to do it

@fast kestrel do you use any extra mods? Which reshade?

rotten textures, ccon trees, pippy misery weather and grass/grounds. prod80 reshade. but to be honest I have fine tuned the fuck out of the tonemapping and other settings so idk exactly.

[fallow prawn]

I honestly prefer the way gamma looks, Ue5 games always feel the same to me

[cunning crest]

that's the price you pay for consistent and realistic lighting

[craggy basalt]

Too bad real life always feels the same to me

[sick thicket]

true

every game being held by u5 looks identical

[strange finch]

Gonna go against the grain here, its not a UE5 issue its a developer creativity issue. For example this is made in UE5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAvH9T__jLQ Based game

[vernal gale]

Check ark survival ascended, ark survival evolved port from UE4 to UE5
Raw performance on a 5090, 40 fps

[timber cobalt]

Decima engine is better than UE5

[vernal gale]

Actually it's not like an engine issue

Let's say it this way

Even my 13y old bro can use it

They just want it, cause they don't have to pay

[stark smelt]

mfs playing Anomaly in DX8 at 30 fps complaining about UE5 performance lmfao

[vernal gale]

[near wave]

literally

[stark smelt]

it's very common for people to blame the engine instead of the developers/game, same happens with Unity

just hop into any EFT server and you'll find countless yapping sessions about Unity being bad/not optimized

[cunning crest]

Unity being bad
that's a fact tho

[vernal gale]

We had many many games on UE4 with proper optimization
The only big difference I see between 4 and 5
UI and lumen

To be clear, check this

https://youtu.be/1eBOMJxDiJA?si=IEqZBJQUSDRcGQxy

Forced frame gen to reach 60fps, around 30 FPS by default

Devs were like

Ah alright let's just download whatever we can from quixel and put inside this

[stark smelt]

I mean it is bad, but trying to make a game like EFT in it and then proceeding to blame the engine is just insane work/cope

[cunning crest]

el clasico silent errors all over the place

funny one, straight from shader hell: https://x.com/BenSimsTech/status/1833480264997343586

Ben Sims (@BenSimsTech)

Can not understand why Unity decided to implement CameraForward in shadergraph this way:

cameraFwd = -1 * mul(UNITY_MATRIX_M, transpose(mul(UNITY_MATRIX_I_M, UNITY_MATRIX_I_V)) [2].xyz)

This works fine:
cameraFwd = -unity_MatrixInvV._m02_m12_m22

@vernal gale these are some nice lookin textures. Is this a compatble Mod for Gamma

[vernal gale]

Thanks and yep

[timber cobalt]

Looks amazing man, I really love that your textures are not really bright like the ones from Gamma

Looks more natural

[timber cobalt]

It's over Pablo escobar, give it to us the "Dick increase artifact"

[late portal]

Cordor spring clear time

[vernal gale]

Appreciated man

Vanilla textures use bright tone which can cause many issues for more variety
But a bit darker can be really good for any weather setup

[timber cobalt]

Especially for mine

[vernal gale]

Good to mention, vanilla weathers specially clear 1 got a really bright sun light, but still, it's controlled and you can see all the details on the wall

So yep

[timber cobalt]

I use ATO for more accurate textures from the real life Zone, most of them are a bit darker and less saturated which helps me a lot, but some houses like the ones that you showed on the screenshots still very bright for me with ATO, the ones that your showed looks perfect and darker

[timber cobalt]

I'll not even mention my clear weather here

[vernal gale]

If you wanna try it with your weather setup, mention the one you want and DM me, I'll send it for you!

[craggy basalt]

You did some personal map changes?

[sweet shell]

DECAY is a collection of addons and modifications for STALKER Anomaly.
The main emphasis is on completely improving all components of the game, making it a more hardcore experience without unnecessary “realistic mechanics” (like BHS or Mags Redux)
that is, a GAMMA with a simplified economy and a greater emphasis on gameplay and immersion rather than grinding

[sweet shell]

I don't do custom at all
I hang out with developers for advice and help
I’ll tell you a secret - there will be changes to the ENTIRE map

[craggy basalt]

looking forward

Thank you very much

[near wave]

im guessing you have those

you do what norfair says in his guide

step 1. disable lut in game ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0(it will reset on level change or game refresh)
step 2. watch norfair vid how to make lut atlas
step 3. cook your own lut in reshade
step 4. convert lut.png to lutatlas.dds (no compression rgba8888 or rgba24242424 i don’t remember exact one)
step 5 replace lutatlas.dds with yours in gamedata/textures/shaders
step 6. edit settings lut.h (don’t remember exact name) in gamedata/shaders/r3
step 7. edit lut.script in gamedata/scripts
step 8. enjoy game

[near wave]

im literally not kidding

[timber cobalt]

Dead city needs some serious dark textures

[patent coyote]

Dayum, dats crispy!

Are those current textures or a WiP?

[vernal gale]

[near wave]

[patent coyote]

I will be eagerly awaiting the release for those sexy textures! ^.^

[near wave]

[vernal gale]

[thin delta]

Is it in Mod Organizer or is it downloaded separately?

yea i heard about it, but most likely it was gone

still, game lacking of textures

many many things added, just this year

and sss just finished the job, now you have all you need

GTR

ATO

and also this one

which is mega peak

i have been using it for some time now

[vernal gale]

no no no you got me wrong

GTR and ATO not under dev anymore
and classic upscale is just old textures

i'm talking about a complete overhaul

yes having ground textures is also good, cause we don't have much textures

[near wave]

[desert quartz]

thank you, gods of the zone

[livid haven]

Is that pebbles_01 or whatever it is? Idk if I’ll mess with any of the interior ones

[whole radish]

I figured out how to make Hip stronk lmao

[vernal gale]

Some from grnd folder
grnd_shlak_02 and 01

Grnd folder cover interior and exterior both, but they can't get puddles

[livid haven]

Alright probably not gonna touch that stuff unless it has a big influence on the grounds tbh

[vernal gale]

Check cordon for some

You can match some of them with your gounds

[coral sable]

Its already up or under development?

[whole radish]

Also tf is this thing Hip picked up?

[vernal gale]

Still working on them, next week new alpha will be released

[abstract flax]

I already figured it out i just thought it was funny lol, its the cigarette npcs sometimes smoke around a campfire, I picked it up and dropped it, there's also the bread and stuff they eat as well

The beta version is out! Feedback pls

[solid crystal]

Already loving it, great job dude!

One more

[coral sable]

Tks!! Pls share any critics (good or bad)

[solid crystal]

I'll explore a bit first before I can say anything, but I'm really liking what I see.

[coral sable]

Am gonna have to reupload because Cordon is missing one file, so the actual landscape is not the final

[solid crystal]

Let me know when the upload's complete and I'll update it.

[coral sable]

6.1 is up

[haughty flower]

KVMA models really are so nice

[strange finch]

Looks good

[coral sable]

Tks! Make sure you have the 6.1 version, your cordon still the old version (forgot to add in 6.0 the custom level.detaisl)

And tks for the support!!

[strange finch]

Yeah I downloaded the new version for the greatswamp pictures

[sterile hedge]

let me go

[dark brook]

Tesselation goes boom

[dark brook]

this is problematic imo

[vernal gale]

idk if that's correct, but maybe they can use the same method as Ccon?

like using the mesh or path

but, it's a really nice grass and overhaul
something special

[vernal gale]

god dayum, right ss is just super duper good

[dire needle]

for grass? yep yuri is doing that but it takes time, practice, better textures, etc… i guess -rome wasn’t built in a day

The fact you make it compatible with the new levels mod is next level

[woven gale]

My first base finished

[finite jetty]

horror potato

[coral sable]

Even Anthology 1.2, am making it to version 2.0, but since 2.0 still under testing (not released to public) i will have to keep suport to 1.2 and 2.0

[mint patio]

kinda poetic

[maiden solstice]

That looks so good, I’ve never made a base in all the time I’ve played gamma. Looks like a decent in game project to do, where’s the best place to make one and what would you say are the main benefits of creating a base as a pose to putting a large container next to a trader or technician at one of the bases like Rostok?

[coral sable]

Similar as this, the "secret" would be on rendering making it sparse and feelling like "only few grasses/branches managed to survive"

[clever badger]

in frozen zone, the author went the same way. there is a limited amount of grass left above the snow cover

It’s a good idea

Just how it’s in real winter condition

[coral sable]

Frozen zone is Ivan Danko's work right?
I would do something similar, but with different grass heights, if there was a way to disable wind to some meshes, it would be possible to make much more stuff (rocks, fallen logs...)

[hoary iron]

ts blinded me 😭

[clever badger]

Yeah you’re right, Ivan Danko. Any of your work is of excellent quality. I look forward to it.

[coral sable]

Your too! Tks for the support

How the hell are u getting that type of color grading without ReShade ? Amazing work

Partly2 atmos is pretty neutral and good for showing off textures. Cfg_load atmos_neutral

Nice.I’ll give it a go. I wanna try and get a ReShade look, without using reshade….

sorry for late answer / zaton is great but There may be a lack of space

[maiden solstice]

No worries thanks for the info. Will check Zaton out and maybe watch some YT tutorials on base building

[woven gale]

Wait wrong info i mean Jupiter

[maiden solstice]

Ahh ok thank you will make a base there eventually

[north raft]

Looks very good, managed to accurately convey the atmosphere of the game, as it should be, a gloomy dead damp alienation zone

[glacial lantern]

since when did they spawn with an rpg wtf

[cyan stag]

Whats the shader?

N color

[bleak cave]

default settings i think, i didnt use any special shaders

[bleak cave]

I've just checked this screeenshot on my phone's discord and looks without any vibrance..i guess NVIDIA vibrance makes a huge difference, i wish i could show u how this looks on my PC

Ive got three hideouts so far, gonna try and put one in each map so i have places to be when stuff goes bad

maybe not CNPP or Generators though lol

[vernal gale]

you are playing the game for real
good for you, really haha

[near wave]

whats eta on your weathers

[livid haven]

[vernal gale]

i think this texture pack is even more than enough to kill me

[cyan stag]

Ah nvidia vibrance ty

I reccomend u to try some tweaks if u want
Like enhanced gui, hd icons, some textures of 'Rotten life'

[abstract flax]

agroprom hideout, not really a hideout to be honest more of just a bedroom at the research institute lol

that makes four now

[bleak cave]

thanks, i always f' up the game when i do enhanced gui or hd icons ..texture are ok

[bleak cave]

Do u have any screenshots of the enchanged gui and hd icons?

[steep zinc]

"reshade disabled"

[hexed dome]

Speaking of, is Reshades performance hit negligible?

[strange finch]

[steep zinc]

depends on what shaders youre using tbh..... as well as your PC specs..... but if you're just doing minimal stuff, it aint too bad....

[steep zinc]

[karmic trail]

what ak is this

[opal pagoda]

the base in freedom so far

[lapis elm]

Cozy 👍

[dark brook]

no it's not

who needs reshade in anomaly anyway, everything can be done in engine now.

[near wave]

*almost everything

but yeah its obsolete for a normal player

[cunning crest]

everything*.

[near wave]

alr write a filmgrain shader for me and ill shut up

everything for u doesnt translate to everything for all

[dark brook]

who needs filmgrain though

[near wave]

[dark brook]

[near wave]

well i do

[dark brook]

I'm joking

[near wave]

im not tho

[dark brook]

but yeah for small things like that, perhaps

[near wave]

gotta gaslight lvut into writing that

then making it a patch for sss

[cunning crest]

one can dream
u can send me some references in dm, i'll send you an estimate back

[dark brook]

Can you imagine that Anomaly made "REALISTIC RESHADE" mods obsolete. This must the only game for real. Mod a game enough and reshades become useless.

[near wave]

i mean

its not like theyre needed in any other game

just a matter of preference

but yeah its certainly impressive

how much can be done via engine

[dark brook]

Yeah but as soon as a game is released you have "REALISTIC UBER RESHADE PACK FREE$$$$$" posted on Nexus

[near wave]

(yes unfortunately this is the case)

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

[dark brook]

That's why it's fun, cause the ultimate form of modding is that you don't have the need for any reshades lol

[dire needle]

since it's wishing concert from pip, can i order far dof

[dark brook]

while the most primitive is just reshades

https://tenor.com/view/quest-for-fire-tears-of-joy-caveman-gif-26939590

^How I see reshade users and makers now (always has been though ngl)

[near wave]

yes, but keep in mind luts play a big role in the current engine customization

and you still want to use reshade for lut baking

[dire needle]

you can use gimp or ps

[near wave]

ye i was gonna say thats how you always saw them lmao

[near wave]

yee but cmon its just easier and more efficient

[cunning crest]

but im not talking about the 0.0001%

[cunning crest]

i don't use LUTs

[dark brook]

meanwhile you have anomaly modding here ^

[near wave]

i mean

im on the second team now

still, reshade can be useful

but not for the player

mostly for modders now

[cunning crest]

reshade; ssao/color correction/blahblah
engine; ? bloom maybe

[near wave]

what kind of a reference do you mean

want me to send you a shader

[cunning crest]

nah, im not gonna copy&paste xd

[near wave]

ofc not

[cunning crest]

screenshots, maybe some boring ass papers

[near wave]

alr well sure

[cunning crest]

also, amd hassome okayish film grain shader; https://gpuopen.com/learn/vdr-follow-up-fine-art-of-film-grain/

v cheap

[near wave]

its literally just colorful pixels

and you need 2 sliders - 1 for size and second one for variance

thats all there is to it

[cunning crest]

[near wave]

although

is it static or nah

[cunning crest]

dynamic

[near wave]

alr cool

wouldnt mind static either honestly

i like both

dalej chcesz te screenshoty, czy artykuł z amd wystarczy?

I'm guessing this is with your own lut and atmos settings included in the ccon fomod right? Or do they need updating with the latest Atmos update?

im gonna delete em soon and nope it's not from there

Ah gotcha, you just running stock Atmos with your own personal tweaks then?

yeah also some old version idk which one
