id rather not have my fps halved

[clever badger]

expedition

gamma

And for my last one

We do rookie village

[clever badger]

expedition

gamma

[rustic pilot]

@clever badger can you run expedition with gamma

[outer grove]

No.
Expedition is a separate modpack.

Way, way too bloomy for my taste.

Are we on the surface of Venus?

[clever badger]

What is this, why so shiny

[outer grove]

That's expedition.

[clever badger]

Oh

[clever badger]

I have it working but it is to each their own

[jovial cedar]

[north rivet]

How

[jovial cedar]

Should I put the knife down ?

[outer grove]

You'll be given free bullets if you don't.

[jovial cedar]

Quite the overreaction to as simple dude from your own faction holding a knife

[clever badger]

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

[clever badger]

Look back through screenshot chat, I talked about it

I do tweak a lot of my setting so you might want to uncheck a few things

I wish I liked gamma, it just seems a bit too grey for me

Need some good reshade

[outer grove]

You can increase saturation to fix that.

[outer grove]

You could be a spy in their eyes, or not trustworthy if your Goodwill is less than 500.

[rustic pilot]

No

[rustic pilot]

Stab them all

[jovial cedar]

True, well, I put it down anyway, other business to attend

[outer grove]

Looks like the Glowing Sea.

[clever badger]

It is the gamma sea

[outer grove]

It's awful imo.

[clever badger]

Ok give me recommendations then.

I’m always open to trying new things

[jovial cedar]

The point is, he has his opinion, maybe he likes GAMMA the way it is like many of us, I wouldn't say it's awful per say, but again, that's an opinion. As long as you're satisfied with the result, that's all that matters

[clever badger]

I think i just need to tweak the gamma a little bit and it would be pretty good

[strong whale]

Swamps WIP

[agile narwhal]

sunrises in this game are stunning

one of the reasons I prefer to be active at night, and sleep during day

[bright peak]

Just like irl ha

[agile narwhal]

<@&929452514326249524> are short video clips allowed here?

[hybrid summit]

We have #╟🎮stalker-videos📹 for that

[outer grove]

That's not how it works. You use whatever you like to use, because you probably won't like what I use. That's how opinions work.

[cunning bison]

groundbreaking discovery

[bright peak]

Yup, experience it yourself. You might like things harder or more forgiving. Game's own settings differ as much as mods.

[torpid mauve]

Jarp reshade

Or if you want a more bright game there is a new one dont remember hows its called

Released recently

[clever badger]

I just wanted to ask what you’re using, I’m not saying your opinion is wrong or invalid. I was just asking that since you aren’t a fan I’d like to know what you are using. I don’t think it’s wrong to ask

You don’t have to tell me lmao I’m just curious since I’m looking to tweak stuff and try out other reshades

Not sure by what you mean “that’s not how it works” either. Doesn’t make that much sense in the context of the sentence

[hybrid summit]

That's different from "give me recommendations" though 👀

[clever badger]

Should have worded it as “could you give me some recommendations” instead of “give me” sounds very demanding on my part so I apologize

[outer grove]

Standard GAMMA reshade plus a level filter with 7 RGB on Black Out.

[clever badger]

Thank you

[digital terrace]

Everything is fine...

[dark brook]

Well the thing is, gamma base reshade is pretty well balanced already, I don't understand what people want to add to it

if you want more contrast etc, you can tweak it in game, or using the adequate reshade effect (which will affect the UI)

[timber rover]

every taste is different

[gleaming siren]

If I may ask, what exactly do I change for increased contrast? IMO my games colours look a bit bland

Preferably without reshade cause of the UI issues

[dark brook]

Options Menu > visual > basic light settings

adjust contrast, brightness etc

[gleaming siren]

would that effect UI

[timber rover]

no

ReShade is a screenspace shader effect, think of it like as if its seeing what your seeing on your monitor and it slaps effects OVER everything

[gleaming siren]

Im aware, I was just wondering if the contrast and brightness settings also do that or only effect the game layer

[timber rover]

I think if you want more colors you should use more color effects in a reshade to bring in more colors or also increase saturation in the basic light menu in your settings

or you can also use MultiLUT in the reshade menu and change it's LUT to whatever one you like most

personally my favs are Cross Process and Color8 and Flat & Green

Look Up Tables are by far the best way to get the look you want

[dark brook]

no

[gleaming siren]

great, thanks for the help

[sharp steeple]

dayumn hip staying strapped

[timber rover]

aighty got the godrays to look how I want them too 😄

[ornate sonnet]

[bright peak]

This gonna be a stupid question prolly but is Strelok in the game or this just a random dude with his face/looking like him? I really don't know the lore of Anomaly

[ornate sonnet]

That is, in fact, Strelok himself right there

[tribal pasture]

even after 200hrs+ this game is really impressive when it comes to immersion and atmosphere. and this might be my favorite modpack so far out of the 4-5 i've tried.

[gleaming siren]

Red

[clever badger]

Got my settings dialed in close i think. Got rid of stutters on my GTX 1070 using these setting in Nividia control panel: low latency mode on ultra, vertical sync on, triple buffering on, prefer maximum perfromance. Love the mod, ty!

[strong whale]

best you would use my grsas

grass

[bright peak]

Does triple buffering even work on DirectX games on NV?

[dark brook]

Thanks. Means a lot to me

[stark glade]

Seems so. I also used these same settings. Found them on a thread on steam and seems to work well. Particularly for removing the stutter around camp fires

[timber rover]

GAMMA is the best

[coral sable]

I got myself a better grass pack, i'm gonna rework Gardener of the zone with a better quality grass (maintaining the original idea)

Suggestions are welcome

[meager dust]

New grass retexture project. Cordon and swamps are done, limansk is next

[jovial cedar]

I'm not really sure but the first picture looks familiar, I've seen that somewhere

[strong whale]

don't compete with me..

[strong whale]

yeah, this grass is mine

[strong whale]

and red forest

[strong whale]

xd

[strong hamlet]

home 🙂

nvm i touched my brand new tent and it attacked me

[coral sable]

Lol, i hope you are kidding

[jovial cedar]

Well, I'm not really well versed into all this, but I have this feeling that some plants in Swamps do stick out a bit too much, I don't really know how to describe it but it feels a bit odd compared to the rest of the zone, the brightest plants I mean, was it intended this way ?

[coral sable]

You mean these reeds?

[jovial cedar]

Yup, I always find it a bit too bright, or is it like this in real life as well ? Somehow, they don't blend as much as the rest of the zone added flora does

In Yantar, it blends beautifully for exemple, like it's always been there

But again, I'm just one voice here, not sure how others are feeling about it

[coral sable]

Depending on the sun angle they really get too bright (ingame) i saw this yesterday, i'm thinking in change them too

[crimson verge]

those plants always looked like wild wheat or something like that to me

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, on your screenshot, it look fine, but sometimes, it really gets bright

Since I spend most of my time in the swamps, that's what I notice first

[coral sable]

Seems like wheat, its based on these

[jovial cedar]

And in that sense, you did a wonderful job, but on that picture, the ground is bright as well, so it blends in better with the rest, while in game, the swamps seems darker overall, hence why they're more noticeable

Just nitpicking really

[coral sable]

Hmm seems we are faction friends lol. When midday hits the map the reeds get the bright aspect. I managed to get a better grass content now, i reworked part of swamps yesterday, need some tweaks, but its progressing, i will keep the reeds issue in mind too

tks for the suggestion

[jovial cedar]

Yup, Clear Sky all the way, I also love taking shots, my loading screens are made with your Gardener of the Zone after all. I'm really looking forward the results, good luck on that, I'll be happy to give my impressions if needed

[crimson verge]

yeah I like their inclusion in the swamps since I think its supposed to be a former agricultural area that was flooded after the chernobyl disaster

I'd also suggest darkening them a bit

[coral sable]

Changed the bright reed and the majority of grasses, also added a rotten green shrub

[meager dust]

here is some pictures from swamps, thoughts

[jovial cedar]

That looks really great now, is it your final result for swamps ?

[clever badger]

here we fcking go again

Thnaks Grok...i love this game and this modpack, u are an absolute legend

[azure cloud]

look nice

[strong whale]

Ty😎

[dark brook]

What the fuck is this exactly

[strong whale]

?

[dark brook]

Modding never was a competition

[strong whale]

im pranking

[dark brook]

and will never be

hum ok

[jovial cedar]

I was curious Grok, what did you think of the Gardener's reed before the change ?

[strong whale]

tell that to anomaly modders, like cr3pis, or something fool modders..

[strong whale]

looks good

[dark brook]

Garneder is good imo

it doesn't need to be changed

[strong whale]

it is need.

[jovial cedar]

Well, seems like it will be tweaked for the better in any case, at least in my opinion regarding swamps

[strong whale]

needs to be reworked, specially brigthness

[jovial cedar]

I like the look of your screenshots, wonderful job, are you using a custom reshade ?

[strong whale]

@coral sable also you should create terrain for it, good luck , both grasses will be different but we will see wich look better:)

[naive needle]

yes, it's custom, I use it with all anomaly mods, generally it's tonemap, lowered temperature and some sharpness

[jovial cedar]

Would you mind sharing the config file ?

I'd love to give it a try

[naive needle]

sure, here it is

[jovial cedar]

Thank youuu 💙

[naive needle]

early mornings and depressing weather is were it shines

[jovial cedar]

Yup, that's easy to configure

Do I need to install some reshade files or it's already in Gamma ?

[naive needle]

I applied reshade directly to the exe file to download the ones I want and use my own, not sure if gamma already has them

[jovial cedar]

Oh well, I know where to get them anyway x)

[naive needle]

it's 38 mb total so I can't upload them here 😄 , but you can get everything from reshademe with no problem

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I think I even have the files already on computer

It's one I've taken while doing something else

[naive needle]

NIce, I do like it. I am going for a similar style. I want to feel more cold and "cinematic"

[jovial cedar]

I think it's really down to the weather & angle

Feeling cold when having clear weather would take a lot of desaturation tweak

Or temperature

[naive needle]

this is with overcast on the above

same settings

[jovial cedar]

Default Gamma reshade but different weather, it's crazy the difference

[naive needle]

yeah

[jovial cedar]

I'm definitely going to try yours

[naive needle]

bloom can be a bit much in clear weather and you can also try playing without it completely , it depends how you feel about it

[jovial cedar]

Bloom, if subtle can be good but that's easy to tweak, my issue is the options when bloom make everything brighter

[naive needle]

GloomAO is what gives this dark vibe over long distance and it has become essential to me. And yeah, bloom is easy to tweak at least. The one I use is relatively mild .

[dark brook]

You are going green anyways

totally different feeling

[strong whale]

mixed buddy

[dark brook]

I'm not your buddy

[strong whale]

and ?what does it matter to me

[strong whale]

but mixed

[coral gull]

no need to be this passive-agressive, and you dont need to compete, visual mods all are preference by the user

[strong whale]

yeah

ofc

[strong whale]

not much greener

[coral sable]

Tks! Almost, just one more tweak regarding a specific shrub and its good to go

[strong hamlet]

interesting

[timber rover]

I'm not the biggest fan of gardener it kind of looks strange to me when the grass in cordon sticks out like that

And I like the overgrown pripyat look

[coral sable]

Yeah, Cordon has a weird felling, in the new version i will try to fix this (or reduce the effect)

[jovial cedar]

Oh. The old version that was on #🖇old-mods-posting ? I'll PM you the updated one then, it still needs testing

[jovial cedar]

That looks great for sure

[clever badger]

Dude what are your pc specs that looks amazing

[clever badger]

nothing too crazy my friend, i have a very bad pc but it runs this game pretty good

[clever badger]

I bet my PC is worster

I have an Core i5 3470, Nvidia GT 1030 and 16GB DDR3 Ram

And I have to disable some mods

[crimson verge]

Is this with the expedition stuff? Looks awesome

[clever badger]

i have i5, rx 580 and 8 gigs of ddr3 ram

so i understand the struggle

[clever badger]

yes but with a lot of tweaks, there are some weathers where it looks iffy but otherwise it holds up extremely well

[clever badger]

Yea.. but at least I can run the game

[bright peak]

Dam son i didn't know rtx580 existed, more like rx580 amiright

[clever badger]

I have no idea what u are talking about

I said rx 580

This is cool and all, but I thought this channel was for GAMMA screenshots only

[timber rover]

is that from like artstation or something?

[cunning bison]

yup

i might have been seeing some CoP too but couldnt tell

[hybrid summit]

Yes

But now I'm curious to know where that come from

[timber rover]

This channel is like porn for stalkers

[wooden sparrow]

Some guy on reddit shared his custom modpack. Really good looking.

[jovial cedar]

What's his name ?

[wooden sparrow]

SKILLD3X

[jovial cedar]

Oh, great, I was about to wonder how I would try it

[wooden sparrow]

He had a link to a google drive in the comments.

[jovial cedar]

I'll only extract the graphic part though

No way I'm moving from Gamma

Thanks for the link

[wooden sparrow]

I may need to do that myself. Not sure what all I would need to do to seperate it though.

[jovial cedar]

I'll try my luck and pm you if I manage to

[wooden sparrow]

Thanks.

[jovial cedar]

The rest if fine 🙂

[wanton delta]

Ive tried that modpack. The (SK1LLD3X) one. There were a few things i liked.

-The graphics/Reshade looks nice, a bit bloomy though but you can play with it to get a good look.
-Running sounds and anims feel better. You feel heavier and the motion just feels good, i cant explain it but it just feels like it's a better way that your character moves and running with a gun has a better animation.
-Melee happens with the butt of your weapon, which i kind of liked.
-Flora somehow looks really nice. I dont know what they used but i really liked it.
That's mostly it, that i can remember. Loadouts seem a little different, and some other minor things. Overall not amazing, but not awful.

If i had to pick one main thing, it was the movement and animations. Not being able to outrun everything all the time was a welcome change. I didnt play long though, just long enough to run around and kill a few things, so it wasnt really a solid test, just a bit of a dipping toes in the water.

Also godrays looked really nice. Not sure if it was a combination of reshade or some custom weather but the mornings and noons just looked incredible. Very atmospheric

[cunning bison]

have a link for it?

[wanton delta]

I wonder if he's in discord somewhere Got a few question for him.

And yes its

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aI1XaEud8QXy5SLn9J153Q4k7fpvFh0B/view

[cunning bison]

trying to figure out the running thing?

[wanton delta]

That too, but i was wondering what ground/flora/grass stuff he used.

[cunning bison]

ah, alright

best of luck to you tho

hope you somehow find him

[wanton delta]

Oh i already have, he's on Reddit as /u/sk1lld3x but i don't have reddit and won't make one. xD

[cunning bison]

well, good luck on finding a way to contact him off of reddit

who knows if he has a discord or not

it took 20 attempts to know the trick on how to cross

When you say 20 it's more like 5 isn't it

What's that? is that an addon from moddb?

[clever badger]

I edit mainmenu pic file

[wanton delta]

No the backpack @clever badger

[clever badger]

[clever badger]

really beautiful world

[clever badger]

Oh my god

That is amazing

[wanton delta]

Nice. What's the setup?

[dark brook]

For the animation, I guess he doesn't use the "lowered weapon when running". Thing is, it looks good on some guns, or very bad on others, I preferred consistency 😉

If i did outfit requests, i think i would die with the amount of work involved

im already kinda slogged getting back into updating the mod, you could always edit an existing outfit to change the visual

[timber rover]

oh naw I ain't that serious I am taking a massive break from making mods after a FNV drama I fell into. But using your mod is like "damn he looks cool.... I wish I had that drip" feeling going on LMAO

[high shore]

yeah a drawback of 2009 era models, no segmentation

[timber rover]

hey

at least you don't need to go over a single texture 500 times to remedy landscape seams on an entire texture pack that takes 3 months to fuckin make

god FNV sucks

[frail orbit]

I am a merc

freedom may be good

but it's not the best

no faction CAN really be the best

dude won't stop PM'ing me to try his grass

me when mommy says the dino nuggies are ready

[dark brook]

Honestly this is a motif for a ban

I don't want people from this server to get harassed by other discord members of this server. And if he doesn't stop while you clearly said that you aren't interested, please tell me and the moderation staff.

Blocking that kind of persons is a way, but they will start again with other people and not everyone will testimony about how they got harassed

[timber rover]

oh no it's not that serious, I just stopped talking to him and he doesn't get the message i'm not interested

he is kinda annoying though ngl

[solar nebula]

The grass doesn't even look that good, seems very vanilla to me lol

[timber rover]

DAMN

@wintry hamlet where can I post non stalker related content on other mods I make for something like Skyrim

[wintry hamlet]

#╟❓general-offtopic

[timber rover]

danke

[bright peak]

Wait, there's one general channel now

What did I miss

[coral gull]

If he wants to share his mod and people to test it and give feedback he should post it on #🖇old-mods-posting , asking for DM's its a red flag atleast for me

[jovial cedar]

Oh no, it's basically because he has his own server for his own modpack, that's why he will not post it here, but Gamma's #╟📸screenshots and server overall is way more populated and would attract more attention to his server and mod. When the guy is banned from both EFP & Anomaly server, you know something is up

[wintry hamlet]

that explains so much

next time he posts something i am not waiting for grok to mute

i am tired of telling him to not post his shit on gamma #╟📸screenshots when its not gamma

[solar nebula]

Don't complain in #old-bugs in you want to use it

[tepid basalt]

understandable

Fun fact: I was jumped by 5 military approximately 22 seconds after taking this screenshot

[timber rover]

Science

[solar nebula]

Too. Many. Chimeras.

[digital terrace]

Thats what im sayin, dont go into the darn swamp

[outer grove]

Just means more food.

[shy cape]

mmm chimera steak

[solar nebula]

7x Chimera Horn and 6x Steak, pretty good loot yeah

[digital terrace]

I feel like id be the only steak there

[jovial cedar]

Would have been fun to have a special enemy for X8, this lab has great atmosphere

[wintry hamlet]

this thing : am i a joke to you ?

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, that's why I was never able to reproduce the screenshot, it never appeared again in this spot in any playthrough

But it's just avoidable

You would be pretty dumb to run into it in such a large space

But I liked the idea of the lab having more of these things

[wintry hamlet]

there is still the poltergeists spawning

[timber rover]

angy cloud

[wintry hamlet]

having more of them isnt always good, having something that one shots you blocking important places like the miracle machine or the brain scorcher is just dumb

[jovial cedar]

"Angry darkness noises" xD

Oh I mean, in this lab specifically

Yeah, but changing spot so you have to watch the pattern before making the run

[timber rover]

I hate those goofy sounding gold anomaly things that make a constant fart/buzz noise

[jovial cedar]

I remember last time I used fast travel in the Mortal Sin quest at CNPP, the team and I were surrounded by these clouds, was pretty fun to see

[jovial cedar]

Liquid gold ?

[timber rover]

uh

no

Mefistolel or something like that

[tardy river]

Wait, what is that thing?

On the screen I mean

[hexed berry]

I don't know what I did but my frames are no longer crying when I'm in Red Forest and sunsets actually look damn gorgeous

[hybrid summit]

Grok really changed everything with this

CS base is finally playable

[solar nebula]

Yantar stashes be like

[hexed berry]

is that the new update? I don't have that yet

[hybrid summit]

Yes

[hexed berry]

so the performance is going to be even better, good to know

[hybrid summit]

Yes

I need to check out Red Forest

CS base is literally another game

• I'm not using the "default dead look"

I have the "old green Zone"

I don't know if that have anything to do with it, probably no

[hexed berry]

I have also changed to that today on top of some reshade presets + more grass and while I expected my game to run worse it's actually the opposite

[runic stag]

interesting...

yeah i think you're right

turned off the dead look mods and i think i'm getting better fps

It can be at one spot, disappear, then reappear there

And spawn poltergeists

[cunning bison]

yes, its a scary anomaly

[jovial cedar]

I love it

Anxiety would be a fitting name

[cunning bison]

i encountered like 4 of them previously on the road to red forest (the one from the south)

AND monolith

which is the entire game

[naive needle]

Ngl, base anomaly with reshade looks better then 90% of games , modded is insane

It's only ugly if you leave it that way

[rough spindle]

Choose your flavour

[hybrid summit]

[runic stag]

I'll take chocolate

[rough spindle]

and.... the dead zone version screenshot not here... F*k lol

[runic stag]

I like the second one more

[tardy river]

How did you get this sort of graphics? I presume it's not just a matter of cranking all sliders up

[hybrid summit]

Since I did it for science, no, of course not

He's probably using some graphics stuff, that can't only be Reshade

[tardy river]

this looks to me like toying with saturation of colors

[clever badger]

Nope it's just reshade. i'm actually still tweaking it cause i don't particularly like it at the moment

[tepid basalt]

Welcome to the shire

[tepid basalt]

I love that style ❤️

[rough spindle]

Agressor grasses + GAMMA weathers + subtle tweak to Majestic reshade (clean version)

[dark brook]

[tardy river]

i REALLY want that config

[gleaming siren]

are you using R.A.W. Or something like that?

[quasi oak]

Looks really good and clean! Pleasant on the eyes in terms of calmness. Do other areas have a bit of green as well? Regardless, this look fits best for the winter or late autumn, in my opinion. Also, the sun adds warmth to the scene and the campfire (in Cordon) reflects that warmth on the walls. That contrast really sells that cold look for me.
Nice that in the second picture, the pine tree still has it's green needles

[clever badger]

What is that?

[gleaming siren]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/raw-rays-of-anomalous-worlds

damn the creator deleted it

the volumetric lighting looked really similar to RAW's weather so I was wondering if you were using it

[timber rover]

It was using film workshop without treyM's permission

[gleaming siren]

are those shaders?

[timber rover]

For reshade

It's a custom one trey made

And doesn't want it repurposed without permission

[clever badger]

comparison shots

no shader

different from the 1st

[bright peak]

Moon is like, yes I'm here

Let.me.in

[clever badger]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-flash-閃光-閃光彈-scream-gif-15667015

me when i look at the moon

i dunno the last one i kinda like

trying to decide between the first picture with different shader settings or last picture with tweaked shader settings

[runic stag]

ngl, second is my fav

Not too bright or saturated

[clever badger]

So no shader at all?

[runic stag]

I guess so yeah

but if I were to choose from the top or bottom one, prolly the top

[jovial cedar]

Well, the issue I had is the lack of realism from that moon, I like the rays mind you, but quite over the top

Like Mayoringram said, it's screaming "I'm here" to the player

[clever badger]

i agree

i don't know how to turn off moon rays

[jovial cedar]

It's part of the weather's textures I think

Since there is a "night.ltx" in there

[clever badger]

oh yeah i'll check then. moon thing has been bugging me tbh cause it's like 1000 moon beams hitting my face

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I had the same thing when trying Skilldex modpack

Went back to Gamma real quick, sure it can be beautiful, but not worth the headache

[clever badger]

oh yeah

[jovial cedar]

It's pretty 💙

[torpid mauve]

[clever badger]

I just died to "cognitive dissonance"

rainy day. That cant be a midjet over there

its 2022

what the hell is this, oh no no that cant really exist

[runic stag]

you've officially lost your mind

[coral sable]

Tks for the support! Some areas have a few "less dead/dry" vegetation, i've been using some real pictures to make this vegetation/scenarios. About the green leaves, i don't know how to change them, i know that the "Autumn" version of the texture pack "Simple Autumn" changes the foliage color

Some of the pictures/artworks i'm using as inspiration, i guess they are late winter right?

[bright peak]

Which ReShade you using

[coral sable]

RealLife.ini lol

[torpid mauve]

[civic jolt]

I can't stop screenshoting limansk

[runic stag]

he collec da sample

[digital terrace]

Late autumn? Winter would have snow id imagine

[jovial cedar]

Not necessarly, in some regions & countries you wouldn't see much snow even though it's winter

[crimson verge]

I'd say theyre early winter/late fall

But late winter might be correct too

[low sonnet]

Bro is playing the windows 7 background map

Majestic Weather to me kinda looks like DayZ

I kinda want to yoink just the cubemaps for the guns though cuz those look amazing

bruh

[jovial cedar]

The water has gotten a lot more beautiful honestly

[rough spindle]

hummm... plastic arms?

gloss_min 058 with majestic. Just for reference. Nice reflections on weapons for sure, but sometimes...

[runic stag]

what's your reshade setup?

regular majestic clean?

[rough spindle]

This was made with the Rally preset. Gamma weathers, not Majestic. Shaders, cubemaps etc, from majestic.

[runic stag]

Looks good

There's a Korean translation?

[queen meteor]

@dark brook yes

from korean community site

[dark brook]

incredible

[queen meteor]

that made for vanila anomaly

but can use with EFP or GAMMA

[dark brook]

ah I guess there's a lot of new stuff to translate for GAMMA though

[queen meteor]

it's translated amost 95%

[runic stag]

oh shit you're the one that makes that insane gmod art

i love your work

[queen meteor]

yes

i'm serving in the military now, so I think I'll make more artwork after I'm discharged

[gleaming siren]

wait theres korean translation in this game???

[queen meteor]

user mod

[gleaming siren]

ah alright

[quasi oak]

Nice, I like that look. Reminds me of some Stalker cutscenes. The subtle green tints of foliage breaks up the brown and yellow nicely. About your previous reply: If it's a conifer tree it should keep it's leaves (needles) of course, so it's not necessary to change the colour; dark green looks good. I'm not expert on vegetation though

[jolly cape]

not again

nvm im good

yay finally after many setbacks i can play

I had 2 power outs on 2 separate days when I was installing it

found a fantastic looking LUT to tie together my reshade preset, absolutely stunning imo

[clever badger]

what is ur preshade

[runic stag]

heavily modified majestic weatherfx clean preset, though i don't have the mod itself enabled cause it's incompatible with the newest SSS version

[torpid mauve]

[runic stag]

alright last one i swear

[bright peak]

Dude is living his life out there, chilling

[harsh coral]

Unreal man. Nice. Makes my game look like shit

[quasi oak]

I need this weather to make my stalking better

[runic stag]

well at least you probably have better performance than me

[harsh coral]

Ehh my computer isn't super new so I run into problems. Mainly because I think the game has a memory leak over time. 16 gigs, rx 580, i5 4590

I hit about 50 fps in rostok at high-mid max

[bright peak]

GPU is important ofc but single core CPU performance is essential for this engine.

[harsh coral]

Yeah I OC'd my cpu to 3.8 and my gpu doesn't even touch 70c so it's definitely above what the game requires

My cpu is 3.3 base

And my cpu caps are about 62c

[bright peak]

Nice, it's not a good number nowadays standards but it'll hold anyway.

[harsh coral]

Yeah it's as high as I could go without forgoing my cpu safeguards in the bios. I figured a .5 increase is definitely good enough for whatever I want to do at least. I've become more of a console player over they years. I mainly did MMOs on the PC so it was able to become outdated without any sign of it becoming outdated

I'll eventually upgrade when prices aren't worth a mortgage

[quasi oak]

@harsh coral not sure if it'll help, but I run OpenTimerResolution to clear memory cache automatically. Also use Process Lasso to allocate cores properly. And I have ReviOS for a lean optimized W10.

[bright peak]

Dam son, using all those bloatware to clean bloat.

What made you go "mxao" for real, there's almost no indication of an ambient occlusion here

[queen meteor]

@torpid mauve that's vanila foliage?

the foliage, but looking a little closer, mxao is way more intense than that

[bright peak]

Pretty good color accuracy and lighting balance, just a bit oversharpened but what preset you using?

[strong whale]

Its better handstand push up

[rough spindle]

mmm I think that was Majestic Filmic preset (just the reshade) . Gamma set to 1 (gamma default is 1.2). Color Saturation 1.1

[clever badger]

this isn't actually half bad wtf
