[clever badger]

like sometimes it makes it look better but sometimes it just shits itself

[jovial cedar]

It does look a lot more tame than Apollo's setup

How does it look like in the main menu ?

[clever badger]

wait

pretty normal ig

i always try to keep it playable, i dont like sharpening effects

[jovial cedar]

Well, I'd be interested to try for sure

[clever badger]

or overblown lights

[jovial cedar]

May I ask for the file ?

Since you said it's custom, I did try majestic before but it was a lot more luminous

[clever badger]

aslong u got like the right shaders

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, should be fine on that side 🙂

[clever badger]

aight

[jovial cedar]

Is this the same shaders requirements as normal majestic ?

[clever badger]

well yea kinda but i removed stuff and added like 1 or 2 new ones i think

if u have all of the ones from majestic u should be fine

like the whole 280 or however many there are lol

[jovial cedar]

xD

[clever badger]

i should prolly clean em up but im too lazy

[jovial cedar]

Alright, I'll check it out, and I'll ping you to report how it goes 🙂

Right now, I'm trying a winter experiment

[clever badger]

i have gamma at 1.3, sat at 1.3 and brightness at 1.0

currently with dynamic tonemapping enabled

[jovial cedar]

Gotcha, not too far from my base settings x)

[clever badger]

tbh i constantly change stuff lol

im never satisfied

i like the chromatic abberation effect since it also helps with the jagged edges of stuff but i turned it down a little and if u dont like it u can just get rid of it

[jovial cedar]

You and me both

Oh I'm definitely not fond of any kind of blurry effect, like DoF or that chromatic abberation

[clever badger]

its just a little on the edges mostly, but ye just turn it off

[jovial cedar]

Rainy weather, 8AM

Rainy weather2, 2PM

[clever badger]

[jovial cedar]

I did tweak it slightly, replaced magic bloom by HDR, applied ContrastCorrection, and added p80 brightness & exposure

Although slightly

This is quite impressive

[clever badger]

yea it looks sexy

[jovial cedar]

You're the GOAT 💙

[clever badger]

eh i didnt do much lol

[finite spear]

Y'all have any night screenshots? I tried Majestic but found it too bright

Both during the day and during the night

[jovial cedar]

Well, this reshade trauma created actually fix that issue 🙂

[outer grove]

Mojave, is that you?

[finite spear]

Now ain't that a kick in the head

[outer grove]

You're awake. How about that.

[jovial cedar]

I wonder where is the impostor here

[clever badger]

ended up collecting a few mutant parts

[runic stag]

early morn in dead city w/ really low graphics cause my computer fucking hates this game : )

[lost moon]

The fog kinda makes it look nice

[desert sphinx]

Was able to find two expert tools revisiting Radar, both white stashes

[jovial cedar]

My man is on fire with screenshots xD

[jovial cedar]

So you're responsible for the lack of mutant population

[desert sphinx]

[jovial cedar]

Quick question Apollo, on your side does it look good with rainy weathers at 7-8am ?

[clever badger]

Still far from 10mil

[jovial cedar]

And 7-8pm

[runic stag]

maybe

[jovial cedar]

Because I had this issue

When I tried

So I went to another setup

[runic stag]

what was the issue

[jovial cedar]

The ground was too dark

Like I would have needed a light to see where I'm going xD

I settled with this for rainy weathers

[runic stag]

i don't think i have that issue

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I used trauma's reshade

Because it's actually more tame

And now I've tweaked it on my own

My issue with Majestic is the lack of weathers, it looks amazing on the ones it has, but it's missing a few that I love from GAMMA's weathers

For exemple, on GAMMA's weathers, when you put 7am & cloudydark2, you get a nice pink sunrise

With Majestic, it's removed

That one

[dark brook]

Honestly, these ambiances are the best imo

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I used it a lot on my screens because I love it x)

Cloudydark is a good one overall

And I like GAMMA's rain 1 as well

[quasi oak]

this is one super pretty

[jovial cedar]

Thank you ^^

[hybrid summit]

Yeah I'm seeing it

Now I don't know what to do with Julian here

Directly ban?

[chilly prism]

I am 16 years old sorry

[bright peak]

Great save

[hybrid summit]

That's a good excuse

[rotund wedge]

Brazilian gore 🥺

i mean you could kick him and then ban him if he comes back and starts doing shit

but idk you are the mod

[bright peak]

yeah it was pure gore, not like a just beat him up meme thingy which still needs to be punished

[hybrid summit]

p!mute @chilly prism 1w muting you for now, I'll see later with the other mods what they think about that since now it's late, for me it would be directly a ban

[violet osprey]

@chilly prism has been muted for 1 week.

[hybrid summit]

Not only it was gore

It was posted in fucking #╟📸screenshots

Fuck me I need to sleep, I really thought it was #🎪bruh-fart

[hybrid summit]

Double ban for me, literally disgusting

[wintry hamlet]

no one cares for your funny reactions, please dont meme outside of #🎪bruh-fart

[torpid mauve]

sir yes sir

[nocturne geode]

Majestic Weathers looks pretty good

[clever badger]

sometimes and sometimes it looks ass cuz its too blue and way too bright

its very hard to balance tbh

[nocturne geode]

maybe the blueness has to do with a similar issue gamma was having recently? I think it was smth about ES's cubemap

[desert sphinx]

seems pretty nice to me

[nocturne geode]

A workaround for the blueness could be disabling dynamic tonemapping in MCM, and using a LUT or a tonemap shader in Reshade

Let me see if I can take a screenie with a lut

[clever badger]

its on purpose

and yes its the cubemaps hes using

makes the guns looks better tho

[nocturne geode]

Okay, LUT it is then

Checkin rn

[clever badger]

but its the xray engine so its hard to adjust it to every weather and time

its not bad but i personally use a custom filmic reshade with default gamma weathers

looks similar but less blue and overblown

[nocturne geode]

Yeah

Well, this is no lut vs random lut

it does lose blueness on the sky but oh well, at least its doable

pretty excellent for grimy moods

[runic stag]

Made some changes to my graphics/reshade setup once again, toggled off Majestic's weathers as GAMMA's are just too good and returned to the vanilla GAMMA shaders (aside from using SSS 8). r2_sun_lumscale 3.0, r2_sun_lumscale_amb 2.0, r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 0.75, Gamma 1.2, Color Saturation 1.0, Brightness 0.9.

You may be wondering, "where's the grass?", I replaced it with fps

[unkempt wadi]

how in the hell did you get the game to look that good

[nocturne geode]

What was new in sss8?

Btw if we use the new enhanced shaders version, it's possible to use that better cubemap add-on right? The one that Majestic uses

[runic stag]

just improved the quality and accuracy of the shaders

[runic stag]

last time ES was updated was april of last year, but i'm using the cubemaps from it and it's working fine

[nocturne geode]

Oh oh

[nocturne geode]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/nicer-reflections-cubemaps-for-enhanced-shaders I meant this one, on top of it

[runic stag]

oh

maybe those are the ones that grok put in gamma?

idk

[nocturne geode]

Limansk looking great there

[frosty vale]

At last, something i can magdump all my buckshot on

[nocturne geode]

The other day I got one that said "We need help! We got attacked by a dog" by some dutiers. lmao

[desert sphinx]

never live it down

[nocturne geode]

How can I increase the dark areas values in GAMMA's (not the basic settings like Gamma/contrast/brightness)

Weather settings? Dynamic tonemap values maybe? r2_sun? so it looks a little bit brighter like Majestic on the left

I'll try tomorrow but if someone tried it before, would be cool

[clever badger]

its the r2_lumscale_hemi setting

the lower it is the darker the shadows are

the higher u set it the brighter shadows get but they also are more blue

you have to change that in the mcm for dynamic tonemap tho if u use that

[nocturne geode]

Thanks!!!

[jovial cedar]

@torpid mauve You will like that one for this specific detail x)

[torpid mauve]

soon we shall have SSS grass shadows brother

[jovial cedar]

Haha, well, as of now, I had to put that density down a little bit x)

Imagine having a supercomputer yet using not even 10% in this game x)

My 3060ti is out for blood yet this game offers none because single core xD

[clever badger]

same

atleast i have a 12600k at 5.1ghz

shit still runs like ass at times lmao

[torpid mauve]

i torture my 1600 3.4 ghz

🙈

[runic stag]

Nasa computer

[clever badger]

not rly

nasa computer would be a 12900k at like 5.3

with a 3090ti

i also use a custom windows

and fast as fuck ram

[runic stag]

bro your cpu is cheaper than mine it's like 100% better

[clever badger]

well its obsolete when the new amd ones drop lol

[runic stag]

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-12600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600X/4120vs3920

[clever badger]

thats cpus for ya

u buy pc

its good for one year

then new stuff comes out

pc is ass

[runic stag]

Sad reality

I need to upgrade badly

these upcoming releases are calling my name and my PC is begging for mercy at the same time

[clever badger]

btw

userbenchmark is ass

never use it

it lies to u and the owner is actually biased against amd lol

[runic stag]

ooooooof

[clever badger]

he hates amd and says uninformed shit nonstop

[runic stag]

any good alternative?

[clever badger]

any of the big tech youtubers, just skip to the benchmarks

[runic stag]

back to watching Linus and jayztwocentz

[clever badger]

[runic stag]

yea

those prices are not what mine are tf

oh duh it put me on CAD

[jovial cedar]

Guys, we're going to get murdered if this discussion stays in #╟📸screenshots

"Today I'm gonna compare 12100 against EPYC Milan"
"What's that? 12100 is a much better value?"
"Oh man I didn't know that"

[regal birch]

Is that the new modern UI font you are using?

[tidal nova]

Yooo what shaders????? What mod? Pls

[jovial cedar]

Thanks, but clearly it's not the wanted result quite yet x)

[jovial cedar]

Well, the mod is Summer to Autumn (find on EFP discord), with Autumn Season Redux's weathers (in a db file, it's crucial) and the rest is my own reshade, stilll working on it, adapted from trauma care's reshade above in this channel

[nocturne geode]

~~@outer grove ~~

[outer grove]

Done. 🥷

[nocturne geode]

Thanks🍻

[tidal nova]

Oooof well when you finish it lemme know plssss

[runic stag]

@jovial cedar how's your fps with that setup?

[jovial cedar]

Smooth as butter, even with grass shadows

[runic stag]

cpu?

[jovial cedar]

Intel Core I9 9900 KF

To be honest, this shot with Majestic was better

But hey, weather diversity, not majestic, not gamma, I got all I wanted somehow x)

[clever badger]

let's go

[runic stag]

maaan I just gotta accept the fact that this game will never run good for me

[jovial cedar]

Well, an old engine can be tricky

[jovial cedar]

Yayyy

[nocturne geode]

I remember back in COP days the game took like 4 mins to load any level when fully modded

[clever badger]

finally got some good drip

although now i can't do merc quests

[jovial cedar]

I take about 30 seconds to launch a new game

45 occasionally

[nocturne geode]

Yeah, same here, around 20 to 40 seconds any level

[jovial cedar]

SSD powa

[nocturne geode]

But in my case, only after the updates with the 1.5.2 exe and limited stash stuff, which forced me to lower my stashes from 1ton to 300kg or smth, that REALLY improved load times

[jovial cedar]

Oh, I haven't tried the new exe yet

[runic stag]

Do the new exes improve performance?

[quasi orchid]

absolutely for me, also looks better

[nocturne geode]

For me it did improve stability IMMENSELY, there were too many things at once that were implemented (the alife switches, exe, stash sizes) so idk which one would be hte biggest game-changer, but it's buttery smooth now.
FPS is 60 to 110 without any reshade. didnt see a change in that too much

[runic stag]

okay so no they dont

cause grok pushed some big alife changes, that would be the thing causing performance changes

[clever badger]

Generators look amazing

[quasi orchid]

alife changes reduced stutters, my fps also went up/are stable at cap now

[jovial cedar]

Oh, that's interesting, I'm going to update I think

[nocturne geode]

i think grok said the exe helps with crashes

[quasi orchid]

to give more context, I run it on a I7-6700K and a 1080, maxed settings and finally cap at 60fps while I also stream at 1080p

before it was around 50 fps and some severe dips into low 40

but as we all know, each system is different and Xray is doing what it wants anyway

[jovial cedar]

Well, I usually don't crash in normal times, I think it's only beneficial for me

[quasi orchid]

ya I also had only 1 crash since new exe - before i had one per ~4 hour session

[nocturne geode]

i had like an average of 3 per 2 hours, with max of 5 crashes in 1 hour, now zero

[torpid mauve]

me likey bloom2

[jovial cedar]

Ah, I see you have bloom, the "look good" in game, destroys any menu x)

[torpid mauve]

and the grass shadow

[jovial cedar]

It's always the grass shadows

[runic stag]

how to grass shadow

@dark brook Congrats man, peu importe la manière je reviens toujours sur G.A.M.M.A. Reshade x)

Oops, got mixed up with words here

[dark brook]

C'est vrai xD ??

J'ai beaucoup travaillé pour que ce soit bien équilibré et en accord avec les paramètres du Dynamic tonemap

[jovial cedar]

Yup, j'ai essayé Majestic et tout, mais niveau Reshade, la tienne est bien plus stable et fait plus propre sur le menu xD

[dark brook]

Et pour que l'UI ne se fasse pas défoncer oui

[jovial cedar]

J'ai testé avec d'autres weathers mod du coup, et j'en ai trouvé un bon que j'ai un peu modifié x)

[dark brook]

J'ai même mit un UI mask

[jovial cedar]

Ouaip, le bloom surtout xD

[dark brook]

?

Interessant

[jovial cedar]

Là sur la dernière image c'est partlymisery

Tu vois le weather sur Autumn Season Redux ? J'ai essayé d'ajuster un peu l'hemisphere

Surtout pour Rain2 et Storm1, mais au final j'ai découvert qu'il fallait laisser en format db

[dark brook]

Oui il faut que je le fasse pour les storms d'ailleurs

Pourquoi le format dB ?

[jovial cedar]

Du coup je me retrouve avec 20 météos différentes possibles

Je sais pas pourquoi mais en format db le mod agit différemment

[dark brook]

Pour moi qualité > quantité

[jovial cedar]

Justement, ils sont tous de qualité à mon goût x)

[dark brook]

Oh ok

Tu peux me mettre le lien ?

[jovial cedar]

Well, it's still majestic reshade, the thing that doesn't like rainy weather

[hybrid summit]

[hybrid summit]

Ah so I already have it then

[jovial cedar]

Not really, I'm on Paris xD

[hybrid summit]

France = Paris

Same time zone

[jovial cedar]

Same hour, not EXACTLY the same timezone x)

[hybrid summit]

[jovial cedar]

It has a different name or something ? x)

[runic stag]

how so

[hybrid summit]

Man, you're in Europe, I'm in Europe (Italy), it's literally the same time zone

It's 4:33 for you, it's 4:33 for me

[jovial cedar]

Not anymore, I changed it to 4:32

[jovial cedar]

From the testing I've made

It's not the same time zone, if I change it "according" to my computer

[runic stag]

i just don't see how different reshade filters screw up the rain

[jovial cedar]

I could be Canadian french

[jovial cedar]

Show me the raiiiiin 😢

[hybrid summit]

It can screw menus

It can screw rain as well

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, just like he said

[runic stag]

it doesn't lmao

ya'll be hallucinating

[jovial cedar]

What about that orange menu you had ? xD

[runic stag]

anyways, this is gamma reshade

[hybrid summit]

Man

It does

And you know it

[runic stag]

well yeah it has a LUT on it

[hybrid summit]

Those logos on the bottom left are fucked

[runic stag]

of course it'll change the color

[jovial cedar]

And what LUT is ?

[runic stag]

do the logos affect your gameplay?

[jovial cedar]

It does, a lot

[runic stag]

and this is my reshade

[hybrid summit]

Yes it does, especially because that stuff carries over inventory and PDA

And sometime HUD

[runic stag]

looks fine to me

that's reshade's fault not mine

[jovial cedar]

You're... the one setting it up ? xD

Maybe

Do not use skies redux (gamma modpack has that mod) with this as it will mess up the rainy weathers

[jovial cedar]

Fifty shades of Apollo

[runic stag]

tonight has been a rollercoaster of emotions

[lost moon]

Old but me like

[nocturne geode]

Niiice

[runic stag]

holy chromatic abberation batman

[lost moon]

Yeah I had it on for that one

cant find the one with it off

[nocturne geode]

this is my majestic weather's stock filmic setup, just in case anyone's looks scuffed during rain

[hybrid summit]

I like that stuff on the bottom left, how can I get that?

I mean the ammo icon and the quick slots

[lost moon]

.... You're joking right?

[hybrid summit]

It's not GAMMA vanilla

You don't have that stuff normally

You need to do something to have them

[nocturne geode]

did you use maskui somewhere or just embraced pain on menus?

[lost moon]

i mean the edges of the screen were the only thing really blurry

otherwise it was nice

menus were pretty much the same

[jovial cedar]

I feel like we've been here before x)

[hybrid summit]

It's clearly BHS but the text version, even in that case I don't know how to enable it
The ammo + quickslot thing I don't know either

[jovial cedar]

But, i clearly showed you how and it worked on your side ? xD

[hybrid summit]

Ah so it's just Minimal HUD disabled then

[lost moon]

I like the new ui that gamma has more tbh

less shit on screen

[jovial cedar]

Quite possibly yes x)

You had it in you all this time, the power to change the UI

[hybrid summit]

Dexter here doesn't answer my questions, good thing I have Eden...

[jovial cedar]

The name was quite telling to be honest x)

Don't know why you are surprised x)

[hybrid summit]

The problem with disabling Minimalist HUD is that it disabled the psy bar and stamina IIRC

That's why I don't disable it

And that's why we made that specific mod

But even that mod had problems because buff icons were static

[jovial cedar]

Yeah I remember that issue, never bothered me much honestly

Oh right, it's because I spend my life in Debug Mode

Or modding

Rather than playing genuinely

[lost moon]

If you're suffering, you're playing the game right

[jovial cedar]

I actually had fun butchering multiple spawned squads with a monolith knife x)

[lost moon]

im gonna butcher you with a knife

Come to Rostok

[jovial cedar]

You will end like this last guy who wanted to play smart

And my last trip to Rostok was rather... interesting

[lost moon]

hope you like hanging from trees

[jovial cedar]

Meh, here is Rostok

[jovial cedar]

From the last time I went there x)

Typical brainwashed rock licker

[lost moon]

Typical Dooty

[jovial cedar]

Thought he was taking a piss or something

[jovial cedar]

Damn the JoJo pose is strong with this Duty guy

[lost moon]

The Merc Shaker

[torpid mauve]

sus

[nocturne geode]

Thanks Eden for the weather pack

[jovial cedar]

No problem, just make sure to follow the instructions on #🖇old-mods-posting for extra clarity if it's not done yet

[frosty vale]

I hope this poltergeist goes to the other ship.
And surprise the monolith hitsquad there lol

[jovial cedar]

I've updated the instructions on #🖇old-mods-posting to fix the sun glare issue

[jovial cedar]

How do you get these reflections specifically ? I can't quite get it right

[frosty vale]

No grass haha

[jovial cedar]

What happened to your grass ? Too FPS hungry ?

[frosty vale]

yeah.
Cant be helped though, im on an old laptop with a Gtx 1050

[jovial cedar]

Still a cool looking shot 🙂

[runic stag]

Maybe he's using SSS's exes, has better water/sky reflections and rotating skyboxes

[jovial cedar]

Well, it's especially on the gun that I was wondering, the rest is already good, and we have it, but the gun cubemaps though seem more reflective

[jovial cedar]

Is it better with the correction ?

[nocturne geode]

Haven't fixed it yet

[clever badger]

soo i killed enough monoliths that they decided to become friendly with me

[runic stag]

if you can't beat em, join em

[atomic yoke]

doomslayer of the monolith

[south smelt]

chill with my duty homies on freedom base 😎

[jovial cedar]

@runic stag what do you think of that one ?

[runic stag]

sex

are you using summer to autumn grass?

[jovial cedar]

Nope x)

[runic stag]

I really do not like the grass in summer to autumn

[jovial cedar]

I use the weather addon I posted, a tweaked G.A.M.M.A. reshade, and Golden Autumn

I think Golden Autumn is the better version of Summer to Autumn

[runic stag]

yay looks like I'm gonna continue tinkering with my graphics setup tonight

from that picture I agree

[jovial cedar]

I'll try to see what it does with other weathers

Same shot but Clear1

All 7AM

[runic stag]

those colours

[jovial cedar]

I think I got a sweetspot

[runic stag]

ITS TOO ORANGE MY ICONS ARE GONNA BE RUINED

[jovial cedar]

Wanna hear a joke ?

[runic stag]

my reshade setup

[jovial cedar]

I don't have a single trace of orange in my menu

[runic stag]

ik it was also a joke

[runic stag]

your setup is orange by default, mine relies mostly on LUTs and reshade

that's why everything is orange for me

[jovial cedar]

Clear2 11AM

Same but with Rain3

[jovial cedar]

Only "drawback" I see is at night

[runic stag]

ooooooof that's kinda gross

maybe dynamic tonemapping would help a bit idk

[jovial cedar]

I'm going to try

[jovial cedar]

What about now ?

It's reduced

[runic stag]

it looks super flat

but I'm on mobile so

[jovial cedar]

Hold on

Maybe it's the angle ?

[runic stag]

could do with the shadows being just a tad darker

[jovial cedar]

Yeah

[quasi orchid]

looks very washed out

[jovial cedar]

What about this one ?

[dark brook]

Just make it dark

Edit amb

[jovial cedar]

Amb ?

Ambient light ?

[dark brook]

Yes

Open the console and type amb

There's also lowlum

[jovial cedar]

Should I increase the value or decrease it ?

[dark brook]

Increase lowlum

Decrease amb iirc

If you have dynamic tonemap on, edit the values there

[jovial cedar]

I have dynamic tonemap indeed, but does it work in the MCM for clear weathers ?

[tidal nova]

What's a good bright shader? Like summery

[jovial cedar]

Is it too dark this way ?

A bit less here

It's hard to find a balance between good looking at night, and good looking during the day

What looks great at night will be too dark in daylight, and the other way around

[runic stag]

this looks good

[jovial cedar]

Actually it didn't xD

Now I think I got it right

Not that dark in the shadows at night, but I'll live with it

[lost moon]

think the problem is the lack of adequate grass shadowing but fuck that fps killer

[lost moon]

this some private/personal shit or a released preset?

[nocturne geode]

im still working on it, but once i get smth comfortable to play with I'll share it

[lost moon]

oh just wondering, it looks nice.

[nocturne geode]

the screenshot has post-edits though, like fog particles or DOF (as these are impossible to get in-game)

[lost moon]

ah ok

Ps is deceptive

[nocturne geode]

the setup (apart from the reshade) is
gamma + Summer to Autumn pack + Eden's weathers(with his gamma weathers tip on top of it)

[lost moon]

was thinking of doing autumn with leaves cause it looks nicer imo. Either that or only keep grass textures for agressor

[nocturne geode]

will try it out

[dark brook]

grass shadow enjoyer

you'll like SSS update 9

SSS for grass

[jovial cedar]

Oh, that's gonna be awesome

But FPS destroyer ? xD

[jovial cedar]

I think it adds to the scenery, despite the engine's limitations, I have good FPS with it currently

[nocturne geode]

Grok said it's goinna have the same performance as no sss grass

so that's great

[lost moon]

go to Jupiter and come back with the same words

[jovial cedar]

Damn, what a day to be alive xD

[jovial cedar]

Deal, I'll go there right now

[nocturne geode]

are godrays depending on weather/angle or smth? sometimes I get them and sometimes not

[lost moon]

Bro Jupiter is the only map in this game where FPS just tanks on max settings

[lost moon]

base sun rays intensity, turn them up. Also an option in reshade under 'ppfx godrays'

[nocturne geode]

Gotcha

[jovial cedar]

It depends on angle, time of the day, and weather

[jovial cedar]

PPFX godrays are terrible

In my opinion

[jovial cedar]

What place would tank FPS in Jupiter ?

[nocturne geode]

I'd love if we had more customization for dust particles in godrays... They add a huge amount of depth to images elsewhere

[lost moon]

you can adjust them to make em look good, but definitely a game screenshot thing.

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, other than one particular shot, it will look bad everywhere else

[lost moon]

for me it's when you're on top of the mill silo looking at the giant digger

[jovial cedar]

Ah, I'll check it out

[jovial cedar]

Where Freedom is ?

[lost moon]

No, Cement Factory. The Giant ass silo. After you're on top, look at the Quarry

[jovial cedar]

@dark brook Wanna know the beauty of it ? I have done tweaks on your reshade to fit my setup, and it STILL look natural in the main menu

[jovial cedar]

Here ?

[lost moon]

yeah

[jovial cedar]

It looks ugly to be so high in Stalker xD

[lost moon]

you dont have render distance on max, that's why

[jovial cedar]

Let me try x)

Done

Barely a stutter to be honest

[lost moon]

hmmm

[jovial cedar]

I have some freedom guys next to me patrolling

[lost moon]

you on max or standard gamma settings? cause that might be why on my end

[jovial cedar]

Wait, are you talking about Max density grass and max grass rendering distance ?

[lost moon]

nono, that's fucking dumb

[jovial cedar]

These ones ?

[lost moon]

i gotta go back to it

last time i did it was on my own modlist

i was @ like 50 FPS

[jovial cedar]

Ah, probably why

You should try again here

[lost moon]

yeah i forgot that a big drain was the glossy surfaces mod

yeah imma do it again, first i gotta disable BS

Monolith should be renamed to Monoloot

[lost moon]

tbh im leaning towards golden autumn

agressor has nice grass, but ground textures look kinda ugly in some places

cough Dark Valley cough

[jovial cedar]

I fucking love it

[nocturne geode]

Now these black levels look proper!!!

[jovial cedar]

Yes, and on top of it, it's not too dark in daytime either

Took me about 2-3 hours but that's my go to reshade

[quasi oak]

These are the best I've seen so far, nice

[jovial cedar]

Thank you, all of you ^^

[nocturne geode]

Is it still the same weathers version?

Or did you update it

[jovial cedar]

Golden Autumn + The current weather addon that is in #🖇old-mods-posting that I updated

[nocturne geode]

Oh, golden autumn

Gotcha

Cheers man

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, the better Summer to Autumn

[quasi oak]

SoC vibes

[nocturne geode]

Golden autumn is on moddb right?

[jovial cedar]

Yup

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/golden-autumn-redux

[nocturne geode]

Those brushes are very eye pleasing

Normally brushes are just ugh in most texture packs

[jovial cedar]

I have it loaded before my Modified weathers in the load order

As to overwrite

[nocturne geode]

Noted!

[jovial cedar]

I can share my reshade if you want to

[hybrid summit]

Send

[jovial cedar]

Unless you wanna do your own ?

[hybrid summit]

[jovial cedar]

[nocturne geode]

Sure!

[jovial cedar]

Keep in mind that is has been done for Golden Autumn, don't know how it will act with the rest

But it should be fine

[nocturne geode]

Send it for sure
I'll share mine when I know it's polished

[jovial cedar]

Oh, I'll use reshade shaders from Majestic and from Gamma as well I think

The folder in bin

Maybe Gamma's folder is enough but I have no clue

[nocturne geode]

Yep no problem

[jovial cedar]

Let me try that real quick

[nocturne geode]

Majestic already included a metric ton of shader distributions

[dark brook]

You need the effects as well

[jovial cedar]

The effects from ?

Oh, I know

I will do a package

[quasi oak]

this one is wallpaper worthy, imma try upscale it to 4K

[bright peak]

Falco's most probably used message in this channel is "send"

[jovial cedar]

I have made a package with my appdata/user.ltx (for comparison purpose), as well as my bin folder (which includes my reshade-shaders folder and my reshade config file)

https://mega.nz/file/X3R1QDqC#PQ8ZmSnV9dGR4oWP0HTM07fxTjJ7u86qGD4BuQbH0eo

[jovial cedar]

What are the brushes though ?

[bright peak]

Probably typo, bushes I believe.

[jovial cedar]

Twice in a row ? x)

[runic stag]

brush is another word for bush

or maybe it was two typos

[runic stag]

https://tenor.com/view/rub-hands-together-black-guy-gif-5110440

[runic stag]

that sky is sexy

[jovial cedar]

I have done it Apollo

[runic stag]

🤝

[jovial cedar]

Hours and hours

And now I can rest in peace (or get back to work on my addon x))

Golden Autumn is the GOAT here

[lost moon]

pretty much

[runic stag]

you've reached enlightenment

[jovial cedar]

Used it as a base, slapped my modified weathers + my reshade, and here it is 💙

I couldn't decide between Green & Brown

And Summer to Autumn didn't satisfy me

[runic stag]

summer to autumn was nice until i looked at the ground

[lost moon]

yeah looks too dead imo

[jovial cedar]

Gardener is neat but not quite what I'm looking for right now

[nocturne geode]

sorry, meant shrubs

[jovial cedar]

That one heck of a typo xD

[lost moon]

golden is the sweet spot with what im looking for

[nocturne geode]

shrubes /s

[jovial cedar]

Shrugs

Yeah, Golden is really versatile

I was a bit tired of the same looking Zone over and over, dead, or dark green

My autumn repack is lacking color variety as well

So... yeah x)

Partly1 is a bit different from Clear

[nocturne geode]

The first time I saw gardener's on Yantar.... it was deligthful. But I get you: an autumn themed flora-rich setup is very cozy

[quasi oak]

Golden Autumn reminds me most of SoC and Clear Sky; the sun and lighting makes it look like it's golden hour most of the time. Classic stalker nostalgia.

[nocturne geode]

damn, I could sit on that silo and watch dogs chase fleshes (or fleshi?) all day

[nocturne geode]

talking bout this

[jovial cedar]

Ah, nevermind, that wasn't a question xD

I'm so damn happy, the Stalker Anomaly of my dreams came to life

[lost moon]

congrats!

[jovial cedar]

Thank youuu 💙

Terry my Beloved...

[jovial cedar]

#╟📸screenshots message Look brother

[quasi oak]

I'm happy too! Well done! After I'm done with OGSR. I'll be getting severely irriadiated with your reshade for gamma.

[jovial cedar]

Haha thank you, I should probably post the link elsewhere x)

I'll do so after getting a few pictures

In #🖇old-mods-posting

[lost moon]

nice!

[quasi oak]

I can highly recommend using some film grain whilst playing, for me it makes it much more realistic (specifically talking about video, not screenshots)

[runic stag]

@jovial cedar Which GAR version do you use?

[jovial cedar]

That's the beauty of it, I have lots of effects in the package, including film grains one click away in reshade menu

[jovial cedar]

Hmm, what do you mean by GAR ?

[runic stag]

golden autumn retexture

[jovial cedar]

Oh x) https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/golden-autumn-redux This one

[runic stag]

nah like, which one, there's 4 in the folder

[jovial cedar]

Oh x)

[torpid mauve]

#╟📸screenshots message

[jovial cedar]

I didn't get that one x)

[runic stag]

oh

wrong mod

lol

ffs

[torpid mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/antonio-banderas-oh-sweet-impressed-not-bad-gif-9592821

[quasi oak]

the modder should've named it G.A.R.F.I.E.L.D.

[runic stag]

2.5 GIGS

mother of all that is holy

[jovial cedar]

The interior and the BAIN installer should be this

[runic stag]

yeah i got the wrong one

what all do i grab from it?

[jovial cedar]

You knew it all along 💙

[jovial cedar]

You will need 01 & 04

[runic stag]

[jovial cedar]

Then you will need my Autumn Weathers as well if you want to

[runic stag]

got em alraaedy

weeqq

[jovial cedar]

The today's last update ? x)

[runic stag]

yup

just downloaded it like 5 mins ago

[jovial cedar]

Once you're done, you'll have to disable G.A.M.M.A. Weather

[runic stag]

yuhhhhh

[jovial cedar]

As well as Simple Autumn Retexture, Gardener of the Zone, and Grulag's Dead bushes

[runic stag]

[jovial cedar]

Then place it this way at the end of the load order

• Golden Autumn Retexture
• Eden's Modified Autumn Weathers

Final step, copy my reshade ini & my reshade-shaders folder from the package to your own installation & overwrite, you can also compare your user.ltx to mine but I don't advise it, I have a beefy computer so all is maxed at in rendering distance and texture quality

• Grass shadows x)

If you can't be bothered you can just copy the full bin folder to yours x)

[runic stag]

i have majestic's effects already

i'll probably use my own reshade

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, but you will need the effects

[runic stag]

or build off of it

[jovial cedar]

Oh, in that case, sure thing x)

[runic stag]

what effects?

[jovial cedar]

Dunno, he said that #╟📸screenshots message

So I guess you need the folder

On top of the INI

[runic stag]

the effects would be the reshade-files

[jovial cedar]

I provided both anyway

[runic stag]

yknow like all the reshade effects, i probably already have em cause i have majestic's

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, probably

[runic stag]

ill give your reshade a shot

[jovial cedar]

I did it to save time for the others

[runic stag]

yeah

❤️

[jovial cedar]

Be my guest x)

[torpid mauve]

[runic stag]

he beefed

[runic stag]

gl using the face shield tho lmao

[torpid mauve]

pubg

[quasi oak]

Altyn tarkov gopnik

[jovial cedar]

@quasi oak I think this had to be my best night shot x)

[runic stag]

nah this is real life wtf

[jovial cedar]

What happened ? x)

[runic stag]

you gave me a half chub is what happened

[jovial cedar]

Oh, it's fine if it's only half x)

[runic stag]

this doesn't pertain to your setup cause it's been happening for a while, any idea what's causing this shadow bug?

[jovial cedar]

Grass shadows ?

Nah you don't have them do you ?

[runic stag]

i did and yep that was it

thanks ❤️

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, small price honestly

It makes the shots so much better with it imo

[runic stag]

1000%

[jovial cedar]

Basically the grass shadows can only reach a certain distance

Based on the player's position

Kind of like an invisible large circle

[lost moon]

a diameter if you will

[jovial cedar]

I won't

[runic stag]

this is with my reshade

i'm so torn

[jovial cedar]

Yours have kind of a western/Fallout NV feel

[lost moon]

but without the femboy fans

[jovial cedar]

Never approached the community much to be honest x)

[lost moon]

good you didnt

Bethesda community is one of the weirdest

[jovial cedar]

I'd advise you to create or modify it to your utmost liking

[jovial cedar]

To each community their "dark" side

Skyrim nexus be like

But that's not the subject for this channel

[lost moon]

true

more good screens

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I need to make some at my favorite lake

This lake

[nocturne geode]

that's a pond i think

[jovial cedar]

I'm french, this is perfectly fine

[lost moon]

This one kinda looks meh but im still working on it

[jovial cedar]

I think it will need more clearer shadows and a more "powerful" sky

[lost moon]

yeah

tried lifting the shadows but on some weathers it gets too lifted

[jovial cedar]

Story of my life xD

I suggest a shader named shadow midtones

There is also curves & layers

Best way to tweak a reshade is debug mode

Weather, time of the day, it has to be in harmony

Can't be perfect though so don't aim for that

Rain3

[torpid mauve]

very nice sea

[jovial cedar]

Thank you ^^

Thought it was an ocean or something

Or a square river

[runic stag]

psst... it's called a pond

[lost moon]

Nah man, that's a whole ass Puddle

[jovial cedar]

Let me ponder this for a while

[lost moon]

boo

[jovial cedar]

[lost moon]

bad pun

[jovial cedar]

A very puny one indeed

[lost moon]

That's it, gettem outta here

[jovial cedar]

I give this one in exchange

[lost moon]

That's nice

[runic stag]

did i break something or is this model usually this shiny all over

[bright peak]

Prolly SSR problem which SSS brings, there were some other problems such as some buildings reflect the whole universe

[runic stag]

yeah you're probably right

[bright peak]

It'll be fixed eventually

Hopefully

[jovial cedar]

Well, you just cleaned it perfectly

[runic stag]

until then i will cope

[bright peak]

Only the underneath of truck yeah

[runic stag]

and bask in the beauty of this graphics setup

[jovial cedar]

To be fair Apollo, your reshade has a unique feel that Majestic's reshades don't have somehow

Which is amazing in its own rights

[bright peak]

And for that, stop asking for "best reshade", people..

[jovial cedar]

That's why I got one on my own from GAMMA's reshade
