╟🎑reshades

[mint owl]

People still complained because no one can be grateful there

[manic sage]

3 years ago

[silent cairn]

Oh hey I happened to see that one a few days back

[manic sage]

Very outdated

for an older version of anomaly

[mint owl]

Your typical moddb comments though

[manic sage]

pretty much

It was used in showcases before aggressor came out

also back then anomaly was getting updated more often

so it was annoying to have to update for the lighting changes

[mint owl]

Yeah, I played the old days of CoC 1.4.22

[manic sage]

yeah same here

[mint owl]

I think

And I started with winter

[manic sage]

Ahhh

[mint owl]

Unforgettable feeling

I think my next Melting Winters will not use my winter reshade though

I'll probably drop the blue tone in favor of my regular reshade

How different do you feel in your actual Reshade making compared to this one ?

[manic sage]

About the same, except I'm not nearly as worried in trying to please everyone

I also somewhat cared about how I was perceived back then. Wanting to be the best, etc.

I don't care anymore lol

[mint owl]

Best mindset to be honest, seeking validation on moddb is like throwing a living chicken against a full speed train and expect it to be cooked and ready to serve

[manic sage]

default

getting, there I need to tweak the contrast

[swift robin]

Btw Eden, im using ur winter version.. is it the one that’s usually recommended?

[glossy pond]

This is a nice preset, is it your aggressor type one or a dif one

[manic sage]

same one but with tweaked shader params and knocked off 4 effects and added lightroom and adaptive tonemapper to replace

will update in half an hour as an experimental

[glossy pond]

Nice it looks pretty cool

[manic sage]

good fps boost too

the effects now

[manic sage]

CS eden with grading default

[swift robin]

Love the naming philosophy.

Eden grading hippo looks best to me.

[quaint turret]

Hi, I've got some issue regarding the visuals, and I suspect it is shaders-related. Why do I get a glassy and bright ground ? I tweaked the in-game settings and followed the performance guide on the discord, but I don't know if this guide might have touched to some settings responsible for this ugly look.

Does you folks have any insight into this ?

[glossy pond]

I am not super knowledgeable but I think you could change gloss settings in user ltx to .001 and .5 respectively

Maybe that’ll help

[quaint turret]

you mean in the game files or in the in-game menu ?

[glossy pond]

in the game files

user.ltx

D:\anomaly gamma\Anomaly-1.5.1.2\appdata

thats my path

yours would be similar

its in appdata folder

[quaint turret]

Oh, thanks ; I was searching in \bin

[glossy pond]

if i'm wrong then you can just change those two values back

these r default

[quaint turret]

That worked, awesome ! Thank you for your help !

[swift robin]

@quaint turret did you tweak the shaders from in game shaders menu?

There was an option if enabled will make everything glossy

[manic sage]

I said I would upload in 30 minutes, now its been hours... lol I ran into issues with sun shafts looking blue

its been fixed but tweaking the color balance on the shader_params still

[quaint turret]

I only followed the performance guide on the corresponding channel of this discord ; it didn't lead me to modify the shaders menu however. But everything's fine, it was the gloss_factor as kassovie suggested above.

[woven wharf]

Wtf with the moon ?

[sour oar]

Change sun ray settings to volumetric

[cobalt coyote]

Help wanted

Something reverts my lighting settings like "r2_sun_lumscale_amb" to GAMMA's defaults, several seconds after I change them. how to fix?

upd: that was Dynamic Tonemaps

[woven wharf]

thx I don't know how but my settings changed themselves

And is that a normal effect on textures while it's foggy ? It does the same during foggy mornings on daytime with a full sun (using Eden's autumn harmony shader btw)

[rugged pond]

just a color correction i did to make the shadows pop a bit more

[manic sage]

everything looks blue/green tinted. If you want shadows to pop more, just do the "levels" effect and play around with the black level from 4-7 to find the best setting for you

[rugged pond]

Oh rad thank you

yea i have no idea what im doing

also..slightly r/g color blind so lol

[rugged pond]

Just tried it and it's great! Thank you

[mint owl]

But Hippo, grading vanilla isn't the same as grading default

[manic sage]

I realized that 2 hours ago which is why I'm still dealing with the bs lol

[mint owl]

xD

[manic sage]

Eden with grading_vanilla

hippo grading hippo

[mint owl]

Volumetric sun rays, at night it's moon rays

[manic sage]

its mainly lighter/more vibrant the main difference is during clear weather

hippo grading hippo

eden grading vanilla

goes well with autumn harmony and its browns

[mint owl]

I have no idea how recommended it is, but my winter reshade was made for Melting Winters in the first place

As for the stutter patch, it's a main stay in my load order

[mint owl]

Your hippo grading is a lot brighter, how is it in interiors ?

[manic sage]

just as dark as eden tbh

eden grading vanilla

[mint owl]

So on the last two pictures at Freedom base, if you go inside a building, same lighting for the two ?

[manic sage]

hippo grading hippo

[mint owl]

Like in Clear daylight mainly

[swift robin]

Yup, didn’t encounter any stuttering since i activated the fix

Thanks for letting me know ✌🏼

[mint owl]

No problem, I'll probably recommend it in next update

[manic sage]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-agreed-rock-sus-agreed-gif-23818297

[manic sage]

the interiors gave me the most trouble

they were pitch black while outside was vibrant

Im in too deep to give up, otherwise I would have gave up on the shader param stuff a while ago

hippo grading hippo

eden grading vanilla

[mint owl]

Yeah, interiors are the pickiest, what about nights ? Specifically Clear 3 1AM and Rain2 1AM ?

[manic sage]

Getting the balance of bright outdoors depending on luminance and dark indoor if there is no light was the hardest part

[manic sage]

Are you proud? please say yes I've been at this for hours lol

[mint owl]

I am genuinely impressed for sure

[manic sage]

hippo grading hippo

eden grading vanilla

[mint owl]

The only last nitpick I have is that slight yellowish tint

[manic sage]

thats because of this

still messing with lightroom

eden grading vanilla

hippo grading hippo

[mint owl]

So lightroom is for interiors ?

[manic sage]

lightroom is for levels, interiors, color balance, saturation

allows me to replace 4 effects into one

also has a vignette option which I dont use

[mint owl]

Oooh

That's nice to know

[manic sage]

Definitely recommend it for when you make another reshade again

helps to consolidate the effects

[mint owl]

Yeah, I'll try to minimise the effects used by using multiples in one

[manic sage]

lightroom

plus some more i couldnt fit into the screenshot

[mint owl]

That could help a ton

[manic sage]

otherwise everything else you've used as well

[mint owl]

Thought Clarity was fps hungry ?

[manic sage]

it only uses 1 fps on my config

no idea why

without

with

[mint owl]

Depends on location

[royal pulsar]

yo @manic sage can you indicate wich textures did you removed?

[mint owl]

Also, it's mostly used at night

[royal pulsar]

i wanna test the textures with the cs eden reshade config and tweaks from jaku

[manic sage]

I think the most I've seen it sip is 2 fps

I think clarity depends on the total amount of effects among it

and how much is above it

[mint owl]

Maybe, I'd have to experiment

[manic sage]

I dont remember anymore but I've definetely removed the asphalt from autumn harmony and used EFPS instead

[mint owl]

Still, that's a lot more effects than your first try

[manic sage]

Yeah though dehaze and blooming hdr are optional

the effect they bring is very miniscule

you'd only notice if you were stopping and pixel peeping

I can remove those if needed

[mint owl]

Which I do when doing my stuff x)

[royal pulsar]

whats the name of the asphalt file?

[manic sage]

go to textures/detail/

should be a couple of files titled asphalt

[royal pulsar]

you installed gtr through mo2?

[manic sage]

yes

[royal pulsar]

is giving me an error

[manic sage]

dont install the shaders

only the textures

[royal pulsar]

i mean

it is saying that is not a valid anomaly file

[manic sage]

yup right click on the folder in question and set as gamadata directory

[royal pulsar]

ok

too many textures

lol

[royal pulsar]

can you do a diff file check and send it to me? i dont want to fuck up the texture files i will appreciate it

[manic sage]

I'm not home rn but just right click the main files and set as directory in mo2

then once installed right click GTR and delete the shaders within

also delete the asphalt textures and ground textures since you'll use efp for asphalt, autumn harmony for ground and aggressor for cracked ground

[royal pulsar]

but gtr replaces some textures isnt?

[manic sage]

load order for the textures

autumn harmony first, efp second, gtr, aggressor last

[royal pulsar]

ok

i have to delete ground textures from efp?

[manic sage]

nope

[royal pulsar]

from authum?

aslphalt and ground, correct?

gtr has ground textures too, should i delete them?

@manic sage

[manic sage]

yes ground and asphalt

[royal pulsar]

ok i got an error

!log

[manic sage]

?what is it

[royal pulsar]

im getting error with the efp

[manic sage]

right click efp in mo2 and open it

[royal pulsar]

ok

[manic sage]

screenshot it for me

[manic sage]

open gamedata and screenshot it for me

[manic sage]

delete configs and levels

[royal pulsar]

done

[manic sage]

and inside textures should 34 folders

34 items

[royal pulsar]

there are 34 folders

[manic sage]

done

try to boot up again

[royal pulsar]

it booted up

this is how it looks

[manic sage]

looks good

[cinder depot]

what reshade it is ?

[royal pulsar]

eden with jaku fixes

and hippobot textures recommendations

[cinder depot]

you have the link ?

[manic sage]

Can you do me a favor and try the experimental preset I made today? It uses a custom .ltx file

just read the readme for it

[royal pulsar]

sure

[manic sage]

and post a screenshot

[royal pulsar]

send the ltx file

[manic sage]

#1036172060969410590 message

its all in here I updated today

just follow the readme

[royal pulsar]

all is customized, i can post a link for it

i mean i can post a readme

[cinder depot]

yeah plz

[royal pulsar]

you want me to test only the user.ltx?

[manic sage]

No

Hippo.ltx

Should be under the experimental part in the read me

For instructions

[royal pulsar]

this is how it looks now @manic sage

[manic sage]

Alright ty

[manic sage]

wait thats really dark, did you use that with the reshade that was made for it?

[royal pulsar]

noppe

i only used the config file you sended

you wanna test the reshade?

[manic sage]

Yeah they go together

should be "cfg_load hippo" in console

and the reshade to use it with is Hippo_Preset_Hippo_Grading

[royal pulsar]

ok one sec

@manic sage this is with your shader settings

[manic sage]

looks better now

If you want to go back to edens just type "cfg_load grading_vanilla" then select Eden's

Now you can freely switch between different presets and such

[celest pasture]

hey any help with disabling ssr reshade?

[silent cairn]

Follow the step 3 in #old-framerate-optimisation very carefully

[celest pasture]

with patch es is that only es no ssr then?

[silent cairn]

yes

[celest pasture]

ok thankyou just been having issues with pixely reflections

someone said ssr caused it

[silent cairn]

Do you have amd gpu?

[celest pasture]

yes

[celest pasture]

is that an issue with the renderer?

[silent cairn]

Possibly, it shouldn't look like that noisy

[celest pasture]

its a radeon 580 so its a little out dated compared to todays top

[long relic]

little 😄

i have 1070ti also a bit outdated 😄

[mint owl]

The screen space shaders page says that AMD card can possibly have an issue not fixed yet due to the author not having an AMD card

[celest pasture]

ayee lets go

[celest pasture]

ah ok so is that what causes the pixelated reflections?

[mint owl]

Yeah, I think this is it

[celest pasture]

aight sick cheers man

[mint owl]

You can probably keep Screen Space Shaders but disable water reflection

[celest pasture]

is that in mod config settings?

[storm nimbus]

For vanilla Gamma is there any reshade options you guys recommend tweaking, turning off or on? I know its subjective but I just wanted to know what you guys typically like to run.

[silent cairn]

DPX effect

[real saffron]

Hello. Pretty new to STALKER Anomaly, however I played every other STALKER game. Wanted to ask if there is any good reshade someone could suggest?

[swift robin]

I prefer making my own so I can have a realistic looking game that is still to my liking

[long relic]

i dont understand, where i can download reshade by hippo

[versed night]

Hippo's color corrected reshade with some lightning.

[mint owl]

Well, mine if you don't have performances issues, Hippo's if you have some

It's meant to be a performance preset adapted from mine

[winged echo]

Guys; I'm struggling with making the Golden Autumn reshader work, is there anyone who could point me to a guide on how to actually enable it?

[mint owl]

But Hippo's has some great stuff as well not in mine

[winged echo]

Or any shader in general tbh

[mint owl]

Literally the link above you, in #1035807043933720576 graphics section

[silent cairn]

[mint owl]

Try this

!deadzone

[void depot]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[mint owl]

Then look up here #custom-textures

[winged echo]

Alright! This might be me but it's a bit confusing the installing guide. It first leads you to moddb for the custom textures and in that moddb the only way to get the files is from a google drive which the post in custom-textures specifically tells you NOT to use

[silent cairn]

Post tells you not to use the reshade from the google drive

Do you want reshades specifically?

[winged echo]

Honestly, i'm not sure. I just want the foliage to be a bit more vibrant and not just dead

[silent cairn]

Ah, then you can go on and follow what Eden just said

Just avoid that reshade.rar

[winged echo]

Okay, so I can install the Golden Autumn Redux pack?

[mint owl]

Yup

[winged echo]

I really appreciate you guys taking the time to answer my questions

Big thanks

You guys are the best

[silent cairn]

(don't forget to install the Anomaly Season's Redux (BASE) as well)

[winged echo]

How come

[mint owl]

There's the Season Redux base (00) then you pick either 01, 02, 03, or 04

[silent cairn]

It's the base mod for golden autumn, it includes some additional textures and weathers

[mint owl]

You need it to make the rest work, it's a common base for all the author's packs

[winged echo]

I see, and the way to install it is just extract, put it into C:\GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons ?

[mint owl]

MO2

[winged echo]

hmm

[mint owl]

You download it then install as a mod in Mod Organizer 2

[winged echo]

Does it matter where I extract the files?

[mint owl]

You don't need to extract them

All you need are the downloaded archives

Then you add said archives as new mods in your Organiser

[silent cairn]

Select the downloaded zip

[winged echo]

Okay, so I downloaded the anomaly season redux, there's no option to pick different ones though

[mint owl]

Because you need to download the Golden Autumn Redux archive

It's only the base you downloaded here

[silent cairn]

You need to do two installs

[winged echo]

And then i'm guessing I just activate them?

[silent cairn]

There is one more thing

Right click the BASE mod and Open in Explorer

Delete the shaders folder and particles.xr FILE

[winged echo]

Done

[silent cairn]

That was just some stuff that isn't compatible with GAMMA as is

Delete your shader cache in Anomaly/appdata and you are good to go!

[mint owl]

Also make sure to load 00 before 01 obviously

And do not install Golden Autumn Redux's main menu when choosing

[silent cairn]

Technically it doesn't matter as they don't overwrite eachother but it looks more organized that way

[mint owl]

Nope, Fabio Conte said to do it that way x)

[winged echo]

DUDE!

[mint owl]

[winged echo]

Did I do something wrong

[mint owl]

Do people mindlessly check all boxes in installation ? xD

Without reading any ? 💀

[silent cairn]

You got a new game

[winged echo]

bruh

https://tenor.com/view/acat-how-bruh-gif-24253316

[mint owl]

Right click your Golden Autumn Redux, reinstall

And this time, read the boxes

Then select replace

Also make sure it's loaded JUST BEFORE/ABOVE Particles Cinematic VFX in your load order

[winged echo]

So i'm guessing it was the Main Menu one that fucked it up?

[mint owl]

Yup

I mean it's pretty self explanatory

[winged echo]

It's not self explanatory, it literally just says Redux Main Menu, easily interpreted as just a reskin to the main menu

[mint owl]

Which it did

[silent cairn]

Exactly

[winged echo]

And you guys said it's a different game? Anyway! not relevant, I am very grateful for you guys taking your time to help me with this

[mint owl]

Wut ? xD

[winged echo]

How do I change the load order?

[silent cairn]

Sorry, I was just being silly

[mint owl]

You click a mod of your choice and make it slide to the position you want

If that doesn't work, try clicking sorting by priority on the right (just below your number of active addons) and try again

[winged echo]

So if the particles cinematic is 379 then I am assuming that Anomaly season should be 377 & autumn 378?

[mint owl]

Exactly

Then finally, last step, mandatory when you change texture packs, delete shader cache by following the instructions below

!shader

[void depot]

To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[winged echo]

Damn, this is even more complicated than making a game

[silent cairn]

Mostly because it doesn't "just work" with gamma out of the box

[winged echo]

It worked! thank you guys so much for guiding my noob ass in this

[mint owl]

No problem

[outer bolt]

Lumafade auto-contrast when you step into a dark place. Yay or nay?

[dapper rivet]

I feel like it should take a bit longer

cause I dont think my eyes can adapt to the dark that quickly

[mint owl]

I use Adaptive Tonemapper, does the same thing but with control over time

[bronze maple]

does this effect come with gamma reshade? how can i fix this?

[silent cairn]

It doesn't, you have all the default effects active

@mint owl Do you know what causes the lighting to break like this when playing with the weather editor?

[sour oar]

For me it’s fixed by hitting the play button, but I’m not sure what the cause is

[manic sage]

Also the strength of the eye adaptation should be lowered

[manic sage]

Also something I've noticed, switching between different reshades can sometimes cause one preset to lose effects and those effects get disabled and move to the bottom of the disabled effects. I would then have to enable the effect again and manually move it back to the top. It's weird

[void depot]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[heady pebble]

Played around a little bit with Hippo's preset: grading_warm, gamma 1.2 & saturation 1.15... quite the flair!

[manic sage]

Is this with the new hippo.ltx and Hippo_Preset_Grading_Hippo?

[heady pebble]

Nope, untouched Hippo_Preset_Original.ini and the standard Gamma grading preset + r__gamma 1.2 & r__saturation 1.15.

[manic sage]

Very nice! I'm still looking for feedback on #1036172060969410590 message this, I've gotten feedback from CS Eden and one other. I would appreciate if you give it a shot. It seems to be up your alley as it is a more vibrant unique take.

[manic sage]

does look nice though

[heady pebble]

I have always a little bit of struggle with brightness & contrast. Most presets look nice, but I can't see enemies. That's way the screenshots are so bright. Will take a look.

I saw your monitor in the readme, might I ask your brightness & contrast settings? I have a Dell with the same panel.

[manic sage]

I'm on contrast mode 3, brightness at 45 and contrast at 67

and color calibrated rgb

all of this is in gamer mode 1

probably doesn't mean much to you since you have the same panel but a different monitor but yeah

It might help who knows

[heady pebble]

Dell has "Dark Stabalizer" that can be set between 0-3, most likely the same as LG's "contrast mode".

[manic sage]

Oh no my dark stabilizer is at 50 out of 100

doesn't have to do with contrast modes

sorry its called black stabilizer

[heady pebble]

I also use "Game 1" as profile, because it can be controlled by Dell's software. Color calibrated is mine as well and my B & C settings aren't off as well. I'm asking because Eden's preset has way too much contrast and it hides a lot of details.

[manic sage]

Eden has a samsung monitor with a VA panel

so to make his preset work for you, you need to go into the preset and select the levels effect, set the black level to 4 or 5

by default its at 10 which is way too dark for our IPS panels

[heady pebble]

That explains it. Thx!

[primal girder]

guys, how do i disable grass shadows in screen space shaders?

[orchid flint]

me when Magic_HDR

[rich sentinel]

Some more Hippo preset, looking insane here

[manic sage]

Your monitor is more saturated than mine but that’s still a very cool look you have to your screenshot

Kinda in between edens and your dyns preset

[full crown]

Just a noob scrolling through the discord. Your reshade looks great but in DYNs picture I do wonder if the extreme shadow of the concrete slob is intended/realistic? Or is this just for eye candy?

[manic sage]

Depends on the lighting and your monitor

[manic sage]

Here’s what i intend for it to look like on my monitor #1036172060969410590 message

[full crown]

Yeah, I saw those before and was impressed. It's insane how reshades differ by simple settings. I tried Expedition (full mod) before and it looked nothing like the screenshots. Probably because I didn't have the right settings.

[manic sage]

Yeah they can be very temperamental

But i have three presets to choose from for those that have different settings

[glossy pond]

Do you also have your user ltx there ? I can’t check rn

[manic sage]

Yeah it’s in the Google drive link, very performance heavy though

[glossy pond]

Thank you

Eden’s was fine on my 2070 super so I’m sure this will be ok too

[manic sage]

Any time, Let me know what you think of the hippo_grading preset for the custom hippo.ltx

Everything should be in the read me

[full crown]

I downloaded the profile switcher for reshades and will try and test a few after I'm done with work. I'm guessing I have to manually switch the presets and the profile switcher can't do that?

[manic sage]

Yeah you’ll have to type “cfg_load hippo” to switch to mine for the hippo grading preset

And the other two presets use the “cfg_load grading _vanilla”

[full crown]

Although I'm not sure how much effect texture packs have. I installed GTR and Agressor grass. It probably makes yours look worse as you have adjusted it to autumn textures.

[rich sentinel]

Getting this while trying GTR textures, have any idea the reason?

[manic sage]

I switch between vanilla gamma grass and autumn harmony grass

[manic sage]

#╟🎑reshades message refer to this and scroll up a bit to get to where i told that person how to get gtr to work

[manic sage]

I use efp textures, gtr textures, autumn harmony, aggressor for cracked ground

[full crown]

I can't find Autumn harmony anywhere, not on moddb, not in this discord and even google doesn't give ma anything.

[manic sage]

You’ll need to download eden reshade

The link is in the read me

[storm nimbus]

I'm looking for it in the reshade options but I don't see it

[manic sage]

Yeah just lots of game time in between

[mint owl]

It's cause by an issue with your reshade shaders folder in Anomaly/bin, usually after a faulty reshade installation

[mint owl]

Unfortunately I have no idea, it never broke for me as far as I know, except the stormy weathers of course

[bronze maple]

it appeard once i updated gamma data and reinstalled gamma addons

[mint owl]

Yup, on my Monitor I see every detail

[mint owl]

That's an important thing to note for sure, I'll add that to the updated readme

[manic sage]

Yeah VA panels have better blacks and contrast ratios

Color accuracy is a toss up depending on the monitor

[mint owl]

Hmm, in that case #🔨base-gamma-support

Try reporting the issue here

[mint owl]

And just setting level to 5 fixes it ?

[manic sage]

Yeah pretty much

4-5 works for me

When ever you try my preset you’ll probably have to up the black level in Lightroom to your liking

Otherwise it’ll be too light on your monitor

[mint owl]

Noted, can't wait to try it ^^ By the time we hit January, I probably won't even have to do any Reshade stuff at this rate x)

[manic sage]

Who knows you might be struck by inspiration, reshade could be updated with new effects, new mods that tweak the image space. Grok could tweak gamma to look different so you’ll have to update your preset

Who knows

[mint owl]

Thing is, I won't have much time to work on Reshade after coming home, I have to finish my other project in priority

But I will focus on making one for GAMMA if it does change appearance by then

The goal for me would be even less effects than you for the same look as mine probably

But I'll update interiors as well since it was an issue I had

[manic sage]

Those are good goals to have

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

There's a readme there with the link you're looking for

[full crown]

Now I tested both hippos and Edens Reshade and they look wildly different for me. I used their user.ltx in both cases.

this is eden

this is hippo

what's especially weird is that the ammo counter doesn't work when I use hippos reshade while it does with edens

Is that an option somewhere in the settings? I thought it's just BHS.

[mint owl]

What bothers me is that it looks darker on most screenshots that it is on my pc xD

[full crown]

I guess that has to do with my monitor, you also use 1080p so you might have some settings different in your user.ltx that might make a difference. I just switched to 1440p for the screenshots and didn't touch anything else.

[mint owl]

Like my Reshade isn't supposed to be this dark

[full crown]

Any idea why there is no ammo counter with Hippos?

[mint owl]

No clue really, best would be to ask Hippo

[full crown]

These are both with gamma 1.5, so it simply is the gamma setting.

[manic sage]

I agree something is off in both pictures

[manic sage]

This is how its supposed to look in that area

Which of my three presets did you try?

[full crown]

I tried all of them. I can send you a zip archive for all of them to compare them more easily.

[manic sage]

No need, I know how the presets should generally look or differ from each other. Hmmm no idea though

Even eden's preset is way very dark and very red at the same time

[full crown]

Well, the main question still remains... Why does it not show the ammo counter when I use your reshade @manic sage

[manic sage]

Ammo counter?

[full crown]

compare my screenshots from yours and edens. Ammo counter bottom left

[manic sage]

I didn't know gamma had an ammo counter

[full crown]

I deactivated minimal hud and installed a new version with ammo counter

[manic sage]

No idea, I dont play with any altered hud

Are you in debug mode?

[full crown]

yes

[manic sage]

Sometimes debug mode can be funky but other than that I have no idea about the ammo counter

sorry

[full crown]

it was just a test anyways. I'm probably playing without i and it seemed odd that it didn't work even though the mod files are exactly the same. The bin folder shouldn't make a difference

[manic sage]

Sounds good but dont let a preset stop you from playing the way you want

[mint owl]

My Reshade seems to look like some Wish version of Agressor on these screenshots and I hate it

[manic sage]

Yeah its all funky

[full crown]

I just used hippos reshade with edens ltx. The ammo thing is some setting although I dont know which one.

[manic sage]

edens ltx meaning grading_vanilla?

[full crown]

I just dropped edens user.ltx in there and started the game. Didn't load anything else.

[manic sage]

Okay two of my presets require you to type "cfg_load grading_vanilla" in the console when loading in the game. You do this in the main menu. Eden's preset also requires that

[full crown]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I did that when I made the screenshots

[manic sage]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

gotcha

[full crown]

I just tried to figure out what the ammo bug is.

[manic sage]

Fair enough

[full crown]

It's the setting Show Hud under UI/HUD, if anybody asks.

btw, hippo_grading seems a bit brighter. As if theirs a bit more bloom. But it's almost the same as the corrected grading.

[mint owl]

So it's not my Reshade preset per say ?

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-nervous-wreck-gif-24688521

[full crown]

The difference was the simple setting Show Hud in the settings menu :D. It was just the user.ltx settings.

[mint owl]

Oof, I feel better already, it really looked bad xD

[full crown]

Well, this is only the difference in showing the ammo. Yours did display it, Hippos didn't. Your reshade seems extremely dark at 1.1 but at 1.5 it looks fine. Maybe a little orange.

*gamma

[mint owl]

But... you have loaded the ini preset for my Reshade ?

With all 23 effects ?

[full crown]

Let me test something.

[mint owl]

It's nowhere near that dark and 1.1 should be perfectly fine

[full crown]

Found the difference. Your winter reshade uses 27 effects.

[mint owl]

Maybe if you use an IPS panel for your monitor you should try this fix for my preset

#╟🎑reshades message

[full crown]

Your final reshade only 16

[mint owl]

Ah, that's why

It's not correctly setup

It has 23

[manic sage]

how many effects does mine have?

[full crown]

Well I followed the instructions to the T. I have the quint and pd80 shaders enabled.

[mint owl]

If you follow them to a T, then it should be 23

[full crown]

i have loaded grading_vanilla

[mint owl]

If not you made a mistake somewhere

[manic sage]

this preset should be like this

edens should be like this

[full crown]

Yep, hippos is fine

I have exactly these enabled

[mint owl]

Wait there should be Adaptive Tonemapper as well

[manic sage]

oh I took mine for yours off, dont pay attention to that lol

I was testing to see fps difference and such lol

[mint owl]

But still, 23, if it's 16, something went wrong and it will look like a child's first reshade preset

I mean, if it was to look like that, would have taken me 30 minutes instead of 3/4 weeks

[full crown]

I don't know what to say. I'm sure it looks good when it works. But I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to shaders but I can copy and paste folders. Is there anything more than deleting the shader cache and pasting your reshade-shaders and inis in there?

I mean the winter reshade works perfectly

[mint owl]

Hmm, best would be to copy the ini preset again from the archive to your bin folder

[rich sentinel]

Hippo Shade

Hippo Grading

My preset

[unborn bloom]

!reshade

how i can set up new reshades?

[mint owl]

Nice try x)

[unborn bloom]

or download some ?

[mint owl]

You just find one, either on moddb or on this server, then follow the instructions with it

[unborn bloom]

where i can found them ?

[mint owl]

Depends on what you're looking for

Specifically

[full crown]

This is getting more confusing by the minute... So I completely deleted the bin folder and only but the one from .Grok's Modpack Installer in there and Edens reshade (for the third time). Now I have all 23 shaders but my minimap is showing.

[mint owl]

My user ltx has minimap enabled in settings

[full crown]

That's the fascinating thing. I used your user.ltx before but it didn't show.

[mint owl]

But my user ltx is optional though

Surely it has to do with some settings

And if you pressed Numpad enter or not

Or the minimap keybind

[rich sentinel]

@mint owl Thank you for pointing out what mods to deactivate for the textures to work

On your readme

[mint owl]

No problem, just be careful with Roadside lensflare, I'm not sure about that one since the new GAMMA updates

[rich sentinel]

Took me a while to put Autumn + EFP + GTR + Majestic together

[mint owl]

Was it worth it ?

GTR and EFP Textures Pack both have shaders issues from my personal experience

[rich sentinel]

I did like @manic sage said, only the textures are loading, no shaders from both

[mint owl]

Weird reflective stairs in front on buildings and shit like that

Oh it's part of the textures for EFP's

[rich sentinel]

All I know is that I need to start a new game if loading EFP + GTR together

[mint owl]

But maybe you won't have it, I suggest you check near the building in Outskirts where Strelok and his crew are

[rich sentinel]

I don`t plan on changing mods/textures soon, spent hours trying to make the game run stable and good

[mint owl]

Also, delete some textures in fx folder, this thing is cursed

[rich sentinel]

Where?

[mint owl]

EFP Textures pack, Textures, Fx

You'll recognize what you have to delete

[rich sentinel]

EFP textures was running fine to me, but GTR was crashing everytime

[mint owl]

Yup, probably with new Gamma updates

[rich sentinel]

FX textures

[mint owl]

Yes ?

[rich sentinel]

YES

How did you find it btw?

[mint owl]

Well, first a bad surprise on Yantar screens, then a bit of research in folders

Then, when I spotted it...

[full crown]

This is probably way closer to what it is supposed to look. You didn't create your reshade with ambient occlusion in mind, right eden?

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/vergil-gif-25306498

[rich sentinel]

Guess this is what they call texture part

[mint owl]

It's closer yes, I'd have to see the outside but that's more reasonable for sure

Yes

Looks much better

Now that's my preset

[rich sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/you-shall-not-pass-lotr-do-not-enter-not-allowed-scream-gif-16729885

FX folder

[full crown]

Does anybody have any idea of the differences between MXAO, SSDO and RTGI?

[manic sage]

dude these fx textures are hitting different right now

@mint owl

[manic sage]

So the first one is the regular reshade of mine without the hippo shading?

[rich sentinel]

Yes sir

[manic sage]

Looks very good!

[rich sentinel]

Now that I managed to get all the textures and weather to work properly yes looks hella nice

Needed to start a new game though

[manic sage]

I have the "cfg_load hippo" right where I want it, now I just need to tweak the shader around it some more

[manic sage]

what weathers did you use?

[mint owl]

Delete this unholy thot stuff my friend, you'll feel better

[rich sentinel]

Using Majestic, tried other weathers but didnt like it

[manic sage]

hmmmmm I might have to give majestic another try, when I tried it it wasn't to my taste

[mint owl]

Majestic is good on Clear weathers but not so good overall

And the variety of weathers isn't there

[manic sage]

I'll have to go into debug mode to switch between them all

[rich sentinel]

I mean I dont got a comparison of the weathers and options

I would need to know what weathers are compatible to gamma aside the main gamma weather

[mint owl]

I have tried four different weathers so far, GAMMA's, Fabio Conte's, Majestic and Abnormal

Technically all are compatible if you know the basics

But do they look all good afterward, that's debattable

I'm using Fabio Conte's weathers, I love them but misery ones look bad most of the time and are not consistent, and some others are flat

[rich sentinel]

So you dont got a favorite one?

[mint owl]

That's not even mentioning the stupid blue tint on Clear2

Not yet, but they are the better choice imo at the moment

[rich sentinel]

Its possible to mix the weathers from each one of them?

[manic sage]

Very possible!

[mint owl]

The best thing to do, but that would require knowledge and time, would be to trim Abnormal weathers to keep good sky boxes and do a jigsaw puzzle with all other weathers mods to get a consistent and beautiful variety of sky boxes

[rich sentinel]

Michikos weather you didnt tried too?

[mint owl]

I don't remember if I tried or not tbh

But I guess that I didn't go this far because I wanted my Reshade to go with everything

[rich sentinel]

The main idea would to select the best of each weather and mix in a single one, assuming theres no problem with it

[rich sentinel]

There must be a better weather for Clear2 for instance

[mint owl]

If you truly want to achieve the pinnacle of beauty, you need to mix your own pack of weathers and textures, create your own Reshade preset with said pack and stick to this one in order to perfect it

[rich sentinel]

I mean if I had the knowledge to do it I would, dont know nothing about the weather and texture schemes

[mint owl]

But then it would probably look bad with other packs

Yup, modding is about learning first

[rich sentinel]

As you said the idea is to make something that all could use, so pretty basic mods to go with

[mint owl]

By destructuring the work of others mostly

I wanted my preset to be used with absolutely every textures pack and still look great

[rich sentinel]

I guess most of the reshade tint differences come from the weather lights and color configs on each game

[mint owl]

So I didn't push past the ceiling of greatness

[full condor]

Just installed Autumn Harmony, looks great so far!

[rich sentinel]

I for instance make my reshade based on the light I get from the weather

[mint owl]

Thank you, Reshade included ?

[mint owl]

Unfortunately that would not work on the long run

Because each weather is vastly different in lighting

[full condor]

If doing every step in the ReadMe includes using the Reshade then yes, lol

Like 1-4 then the steps for Autumn Harmony

[rich sentinel]

I guess I did not pay close attention to Gamma Weather, maybe would be a good idea to tweak the preset for that

[mint owl]

And did you load Autumn Harmony Just Before/Above Particle Cinematic VFX in your load order ?

@full condor

And 23 effects in Reshade ?

[full condor]

No I believe I made the mistake of leaving it just above the disabled mods, forgot that it was updated

[manic sage]

Expedition got updated, here it is in all of its GLORY

[full condor]

I'll restart

[manic sage]

Expedition got updated, here it is in all of its GLORY

[rich sentinel]

Do not start it

[mint owl]

Hence why you absolutely need debug weathers

[manic sage]

Im meming

not going to start it

[rich sentinel]

I cant handle more ideas of changing textures/mods

[mint owl]

Don't forget to delete shader cache just in case

[manic sage]

Don't worry I'll do it for you

I'll probably experiment with that in the next day or two

[full condor]

For sure @mint owl . And I did have 23 effects in reshade

[rich sentinel]

I mean, theres so much my RX580 can handle at 60FPS stable

[mint owl]

Just my two cents but I hate that lens flare xD

[manic sage]

ITS GLORIOUS

[mint owl]

Impossible

You are...

[manic sage]

Eden you must be BLIND

[mint owl]

A legendary reader ?

[manic sage]

EXPEDITION is not good????

blasphemy

[mint owl]

I'll pass xD

[full condor]

If by Legendary Reader you mean Extremely Anal then yes

@mint owl

[manic sage]

better to be anal then not have it right

[full condor]

It's the hyper focus in me

[mint owl]

xD Well I mean one of the Elite people that actually read everything and do all without messing up, you're restoring my faith in humanity

[full condor]

I was THIS close to asking a question

Then I read it again lmao

[manic sage]

It is dummy proof

[full condor]

We were a cunt hair away from complete societal collapse

[mint owl]

How to install Agressor ? x)

[full condor]

LOL

No not that. I wouldn't say anyways, need to keep my rep up

[mint owl]

No joke I get that one a lot on this channel

[rich sentinel]

Serious question though, how to install agressor? Seems so much better than edens preset

[full condor]

I worked retail so I am not surprised at people asking for things that are specified a few times already

[mint owl]

[full condor]

@rich sentinel Damn forreal, can u send a link?

[mint owl]

[rich sentinel]

Agressor In my eyes you must say

[full condor]

To shreds you say

[mint owl]

But seriously, @rich sentinel , Agressor is a prime exemple of looking great with the right angle and weather but absolutely collapse otherwise

Looking at the sun pictures are not representative of quality, nor does overblooming stuff

[rich sentinel]

Looking good??

[mint owl]

Aside of that Quake FOV you mean ?

[rich sentinel]

Blasphemy

[rich sentinel]

Guess this Eden guy preset are okay

[mint owl]

I feel like the sky on this picture should be a bit brighter

[rich sentinel]

But thats Agressor preset

[mint owl]

Impossible, where is the "realistic eye adaptation"?

[rich sentinel]

I ticked Eye adaptation just for the memes, got worse

[mint owl]

Magnificent

[rich sentinel]

This is me

Never decided on what LUT tint to use yet

Bluish, greenish, reddish

[mint owl]

Much less flat that the agressor one

[full condor]

Thats all default

[mint owl]

Cinematic or Bonus ?

[tepid anvil]

Anyway to improve FPS other than the write up in discord?

I have a 3070 and I'm getting 50fps

sometimes it drops to 17 stuttering

[rich sentinel]

Cinematic atm, bonus are some strong ones, currently using CinematicColors

[full condor]

@tepid anvil find a reshade that replaces the grass

[mint owl]

You can tone down the intensity

[glossy pond]

Don’t run avx

[full condor]

@tepid anvil After I installed golden autumn redux I had a noticable improvement in fps

[tepid anvil]

how do I do that

turn of f avx

[full condor]

Lowering the grass density is really important too

[rich sentinel]

MO2 launch option

[glossy pond]

In mo2 you see where it says anomaly dx11 avx

[full condor]

Start it without avx enabled, in MO2

[tepid anvil]

I dont understand why a 20 year old game runs like shit on a $4000 PC

[glossy pond]

Run just dx11

[full condor]

Yeah what they said lol

Well its a 20 year old game.

[mint owl]

You answered your own question

[tepid anvil]

lmao

[full condor]

Optimization goes a lonnnnggggg way

[glossy pond]

Over 300 mods and running it using a cpu rendering method may impact you a tiny bit if I had to guess

[tepid anvil]

I'll just wait for stalker 2"

[mint owl]

Short answer, it's using a single core

[full condor]

Theres a reason I get better fps in some games maxed out than in tarkov with medium settings lol

[glossy pond]

Tarkov moment

[tepid anvil]

ah yes

[mint owl]

You can have a pc with over 9000 cores, it would still run like shit because single core

[rich sentinel]

Theres any way to make anomalies more evident? I cant see shit

[tepid anvil]

throw rocks

[glossy pond]

What gpu?

[full condor]

@glossy pond 6800xt

[glossy pond]

What the fuck is that

[rich sentinel]

I mean, I should able to atleast spot it

[glossy pond]

Sorry I only speak nvidia

[full condor]

@glossy pond LOL

[mint owl]

Also, enable the stutter patch in your load order (it's towards the end of it)

[glossy pond]

Is it like powerful

Bc if it is, higher graphics will actually help your frames sometimes

[full condor]

@glossy pond its between about a 3080

[glossy pond]

Oh ok

Yeah run high tarkov settings then

Uses your GPU more than your CPU

[full condor]

@glossy pond I do, its just a shittily optimized game

[glossy pond]

Oh so shitty

It’s unbelievable

[full condor]

@glossy pond Tarkov is very cpu dependent unfortunately, I only have an 11400

[glossy pond]

Yes that’s why use higher graphics

So it utilizes gpu more than cpu

I forget why it works but that’s how it works

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-it-just-works-bethesda-this-all-just-works-gif-20598651

[rich sentinel]

Dithering is for what exactly?

[mint owl]

Here's the short and sweet answer: dithering is the process of adding noise to a signal in order to reduce quantization distortion when reducing the bit depth of a file. Dithering should only be applied during the mastering stage when bouncing from 24 or 32-bit down to 16-bits.

Copy pasted

[full condor]

@glossy pond I think it just puts more of the load on the gpu? Idk

@glossy pond I just build computers idk how tf they work n shit

[rich sentinel]

[mint owl]

Even shorter answer, don't touch it x)

[glossy pond]

Yes that’s why but I forget exactly why it takes load off cpu

Lol nice

[rich sentinel]

I guess its like Chromatic Aberration and Film grain, just for the memes

To this day I dont understand the usage of Chromatic Aberration

[glossy pond]

People like how it looks no?

[rich sentinel]

How? the option is everywhere

It gets blurry, game looks on drugs

But shit, each to his own

[glossy pond]

Some people are strange

[silent cairn]

Heck, I guess I'll doublecheck that I didn't break anything

[rich sentinel]

@mint owl Damn you for suggesting Bonus LUT with less strength, now I gotta choose 1 out of 50

[mint owl]

I'm not joking when I said it took me about 4 weeks for my preset xD

[rich sentinel]

[mint owl]

I think it really has to do with switching presets in game multiple times in a row

[rich sentinel]

Well I can choose atleast 3 I like it, but what do people like

[mint owl]

One click ULTRA GRAPHICS

[rich sentinel]

Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra color, a number 7, two number 45s, one with chroma and a large contrast

[mint owl]

With 100+ fps

[rich sentinel]

144FPS stable, giga graphics on a GT210

[glossy pond]

Low fps is a skill difference tbh

[mint owl]

Yup

[rich sentinel]

I struggle to run the game on 60FPS

Imagine 144

[glossy pond]

Imagine not being bottlenecked by 60hz monitor

[rich sentinel]

Believe me, is worse to have a 144 monitor running 50 FPS

Meanwhile my VGA

[glossy pond]

I miss my vga

[rich sentinel]

@glossy pond Gonna show you some screens, help me out

[full condor]

Should my game be this "foggy"

I cant tell if the weather is foggy or its a setting

[glossy pond]

Viewing through cellphone so it may not look as you intend it on my end

[silent cairn]

Volumetric sunshafts (setting) during weather with high sunshaft values, so I guess a bit of both

Anyway that's the intended look I'm pretty sure

[full condor]

Nah you were right! I had my base sun rays and main sun rays up by like .1 each

@silent cairn

[silent cairn]

The defaults are sunshafts_min 0 and sunshafts_value 0.75

[humble badge]

Swear I saw a post here for installing new reshades to GAMMA and now I can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[mint owl]

I use the default sun rays values as well

[rich sentinel]

Sun rays mode is Volumetric right?

[silent cairn]

For example eden's reshade comes with these files, just drop them into your Anomaly\bin\ folder. Overwrite if you don't know what you are doing. Select your new reshade preset from the dropdown menu in reshade menu (opened with home-key).

[mint owl]

Default is Screen Space but I use Volumetric

[rich sentinel]

I gotta tonedown the brightness for volumetric

[mint owl]

Well, you can use the screen space if you want, I'm just a sucker for sun rays

[manic sage]

https://github.com/rj200/Glamarye_Fast_Effects_for_ReShade @mint owl new performance reshade effects to try

what it looks like

[humble badge]

Thank you!

[rich sentinel]

Tried to mess with the glamarye, didnt notice much effects, I think its supposed to run with another effects for better performance, I get 5 FPS drop with it on @manic sage

[manic sage]

just started messing with it

1 fps hit for me

1-2

But if I can use this to replace multiple effects

Ill actually save fps

[rich sentinel]

DPX enjoyers?

[manic sage]

It does have an AO option built in so trying that in debug mode rn

[rich sentinel]

Too much technical knowledge for me, gotta give the ropes to you

[manic sage]

The Global illumination built in is actually nice

some rough reshade demo for this

distant tree

no effect on it

[rich sentinel]

How to set Depth buffer for it though?

[rich sentinel]

Here the game looks flickery with Depth buffer on

[manic sage]

its slight rn but there is a differnce on my screen

[red crest]

Can I have all the Fabio Conte season texture mods in MO2 and just enable and disable them as I please or do I just have to remove the current one to change to another. If any body knows I'd appreciate it

[rich sentinel]

That took a while to write

[manic sage]

LMAO

I was wondering if they were writing paragraphs

[red crest]

LOL Busy with other things

[rich sentinel]

These busy people

[manic sage]

but to answer your question I have no idea

[rich sentinel]

@manic sage Fake GI Effects actually cause flickering

Just that effect

[rich sentinel]

I guess it could work if you made a profile with it

[manic sage]

its about the same amount of flickering rn to my eyes as without it and just Cas sharpen

[red crest]

Ahh you're right I didn't think of that

[rich sentinel]

I got like 4-5 profiles for mod testing

[red crest]

Thanks my dumbass over looked that lol

[rich sentinel]

No problem

@manic sage Glamarye + FGFX would be overkill?

[manic sage]

fgfx isn't enabled rn

hasn't been for a minute

Do you like fgfx?

[rich sentinel]

Yup

[manic sage]

I tried dabling with it for mixed results

[rich sentinel]

Been using on the presets

[manic sage]

mmm

[rich sentinel]

Try it

[full condor]

Does autumn harmony not change the grass?

[rich sentinel]

@manic sage @mint owl

[manic sage]

Great picture, with your preset?

[rich sentinel]

No, I made a new lightweight one with only 3 effects, glamarye included

Trying to save as much FPS as possible

[full condor]

Got it, pretty sure I did that. I think the grass is just thin because: Autumn

@silent cairn Thanks for the help though

[silent cairn]

Just making sure

[mint owl]

Gosh I'll need to do a LOT when coming back xD

[full condor]

Can I enable golden autumn redux at the same time? Or is that not smart with Autumn harmony

[mint owl]

Impressive

[manic sage]

yeah I'm messing with glamarye

[mint owl]

I usually use high grass density + 0.8 grass height

[manic sage]

be careful as to not fuck up the skybox I just noticed it can do that

tuned glamarye

[rich sentinel]

Atm nothing changed on skybox, but I got rid of the AO glob when Fake GI Effects is enabled

[manic sage]

artifacts in the skybox

still trying to get it right

[rich sentinel]

Cant see shit in comparison

[full condor]

I'll try that!

[manic sage]

Just pixelated

default glamar

[rich sentinel]

Now I see it

[full condor]

Is the other autumn pack more similar to golden autumn redux? I can't enable that at the same time as autumn harmony right?

[manic sage]

Yeah just keep an eye out for that

[silent cairn]

glamarye can also break foggy weathers and night time, be careful

[thick bobcat]

Any tips on making my game look really bleak and dark?

[manic sage]

Will try that in debug mode once I'm happy with clear_2

[thick bobcat]

sorry to butt in on the chat

[manic sage]

reshade and specifically tweak the black level

"levels" effect

maybe turn on a monochrome filter at half strength

[rich sentinel]

Sun shadow off my FPS go GIGA

[manic sage]

that sorta thing

[rich sentinel]

80 to 110 FPS alone

Game looks shit but FPS nice

[mint owl]

Nope, have to choose one, Golden Autumn Redux is quite unique

[full condor]

@mint owl Got it, thank you!

[mint owl]

Wait, this is it

[manic sage]

?

[mint owl]

I could use that for a Borderlands preset

[manic sage]

Could be useful

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

that gloss

[silent cairn]

yeah...

[rich sentinel]

Screenshot looks like it was painted

[silent cairn]

I'm trying to add GGX specular to pretty up the dull weapons but it makes some other weapons very oily

[manic sage]

oh wait GGX isn't already a part of gamma?

or just not yet?

[silent cairn]

It is

[manic sage]

So just strengthening it?

[silent cairn]

There is a bit more to it, but yeah, trying to find a good balance

[full condor]

@silent cairn niiice

[mint owl]

Keep going this way, I'd like to see a fire weapon

[manic sage]

What textures do you use for the reeds?

[graceful yacht]

I recommend turning off the shaders - Press home key - disable all check boxes except the last and it should net you 10-20 fps

[slim cradle]

Hello can I have the list of enabled reshade of the game? I just unticked everything and can't recall them

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[primal girder]

any way to tweak the SSS mod?

[celest pasture]

fast traveled to cordon and this stuff started to appear... any fix for it?

started happening on the ground too

[primal girder]

what stuff

ahh i see the grids

[celest pasture]

yeah the grids they never showed up before

on ground too

[silent cairn]

in the gamedata\shaders\r3\ of the SSS mod

Keep in mind these get all overwritten by the Shaders cumulative pack

https://tenor.com/view/key-and-peele-disappointed-head-shake-gif-15018265

[thick bobcat]

is that glowing orb in the sky a nuclear bomb?

[outer bolt]

@manic sage Try to scope while glamarye is on

[vital field]

@mint owl just had a crash with "Shader compilation failed". Ever seen that happening when using your reshade before?

[plucky pewter]

The final moments one sees during an emission

[mint owl]

Never, but you shouldn't use the shader folder

[vital field]

What do you mean sorry? Also, is there an easy way to uninstall your shaders and Autumn as I'm wondering if me messing around with it yesterday has f'd it up?

[mint owl]

The shader file inside should not be used, and the pack should be placed above Particle Cinematic VFX in your load order

To uninstall, just delete Autumn Harmony from MO2, reenable all the mods you disabled with my readme instructions, then delete your shader cache

[maiden void]

I mean.......it's artistic

[weary spoke]

Hey, is there Stalker 2 - like reshade?

[manic sage]

Without any reshade

With reshade + glamar

Without any reshade

With reshade + glamar

Wait, you fixed the white shadow-y ao?

[manic sage]

I tweaked the AO from glamar to be very slight since screen space shaders already adds in some AO

I dont want to over do it

In instances where there is direct lighting AO is not there or very slight

where there is indirect light you'll see the AO

[outer bolt]

Oohhh nice! Hit me up when you finish that reshade

[manic sage]

Yeah Im down from 14 effects to 12 now

still trying to cut effects

trying to find more all in one effects to replace the single effects so I can save fps

[outer bolt]

I've read in the reshade forums that editing LUTs with all the color correction is more fps friendly

[manic sage]

I saw that yesterday

[outer bolt]

but im too lazy to do that, they also have tutorials

[manic sage]

I might dable in it

[outer bolt]

Cool!

[manic sage]

Editing the lut could save me 2 more effects

This

actually just that

So won't help much but it is very efficient to do

[manic sage]

I gotta go to class but I'll upload shortly before I head out

Havent tested for any other weather mods outside of the default gamma ones and skies redux, nvm more work to be done on cloudy weathers

[rich sentinel]

I suppose thats Golden Autumn redux

[rich sentinel]

I gotta try, got the choice of going nice graphics 60FPS or maybe mid game with 120FPS

[thin veldt]

the game can be very beautiful sometimes. depends on weather & time. (Aggressor reshade)

[sour oar]

It’s only sometimes, because it’s Aggressor

[thin veldt]

yeah

mostly its "i cant see shit"

[manic sage]

Link?

[echo hawk]

I went with piknik reshade. To fix that too dark issues. Tho it's a compromise. Performance is a bit heavy but it can be tweak enough. The other issue is that you will lost some details on the sky and far off distance, but it's worth it in my opinion.

#custom-textures

[manic sage]

Ty

[mint owl]

Golden Autumn Redux uses the same weathers found in Autumn Season Redux and obviously Autumn Harmony

[manic sage]

Gotcha, i just want to try the reed textures

Hey GAMMA graphics lovers

Here's the new profile for GAMMA-EXT based on Expedition 2.2.1

GAMMA EXP Edition Complete

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037753021322506240/1037753021322506240

This one is not included in the GAMMA-EXT instead is shared by me separately

You must use the GAMMA-EXT **share feature **to add this profile to your GAMMA-EXT (kind of purposely)

Make sure you update to the latest GAMMA-EXT https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1035976982321692802

In all honestly, installing GAMMA-EXT takes 15 minutes and installing this profile just one command .\GAMMA_EXT.ps1 -install "GAMMA EXP Edition Complete"

Enjoy if you can

[silent cairn]

What can I say, I do love graphics

[manic sage]

Does this mean it’s expedition with the blinding skies? Or is it tweaked for gamma?

[silent cairn]

The screen space shadows are still a bit off

[rich sentinel]

Its been so long playing with custom textures that I forgot how the vanilla gamma looks

[manic sage]

Are you gonna release your shader tweaks eventually?

[silent cairn]

It's almost done, I'm so close to fixing EVERYTHING

...maybe

[manic sage]

Are these shader param tweaks or sss tweaks?

[silent cairn]

Mostly edited code from Enhanced Shaders actually

[manic sage]

Ahhhhhh

[silent cairn]

No shader param tweaks

no reshade

[manic sage]

Very nice

[silent cairn]

just vanilla gamma

Should work with everything

[manic sage]

Sweet Ill def wanna try it out at some point

[glacial spear]

This is installed as is (the sky is bright just like Expedition) although the flares intensity change during the time of the day. By the way I am only interested in building the tool for easy sharing and installing of any GAMMA custom modpacks. As it happens I saw many request how to install GAMMA with Expedition so I made this profile as PoC basically. I am not affiliated with the Expedition guys 😄

[manic sage]

Sounds good, might not be for me but more choice is better, good work

[glacial spear]

props to them though, beside some extreme sunburns, the lighting I do like it a lot

[rich sentinel]

Do you got screens of it?

[glacial spear]

not many but you can check some in the custom mod page

[silent cairn]

I do appreciate the effort you put into it

[glacial spear]

there is already a reshade manager in the tool, but I am adding full support to reshade presets sharing soon

[manic sage]

In the efp discord they have a fix for the over exposed sky for expedition, I’m not sure if you’ve seen it

Might be something to look into

[silent cairn]

I don't know how many of you knew this but there is this odd veil on the ground (and some distant trees I think) with default shaders

[plucky pewter]

I noticed it but thought it was just a visual oddity

[manic sage]

So you fixed it?

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

Show me!

[silent cairn]

It's right there

[manic sage]

Oh i thought you said default shaders for both?

Oh nvm i see it

That’s actually nuts i notice that allot when im messing with the weather editor

[silent cairn]

So much sweet, juicy detail under that veil

It's like a whole new game

[manic sage]

Make a post in mod postings I’ll make it mandatory for users of my reshade and shader params to use so I’ll link back to your post

Give me it already

[silent cairn]

There is still this cursed shadow glitch with some guns

I know kinda how to fix it but fixing it breaks another thing aka I have no clue what I'm doing

[manic sage]

lol

[rich sentinel]

There`s any way to save the depth buffer selection?

[lavish relic]

you cant tease us like this with your amazing work and not share 😄

[maiden void]

Isn't that the light map textures being weird?

[exotic moon]

can someone be kind and share/upload reshade files from the bin folder?
I have miserably slow internet to download gamma files again.

[rich sentinel]

Hippo reshade got the folder you want on #1035807043933720576

[exotic moon]

much love

[leaden linden]

I'm waiting for your final tweaks. Everyday i check #1035807043933720576 lol. Invert values for gloss min/factor + your SSS tweak, right? I tried your firts attempt. It was very promising.

[wind furnace]

dumb question. but how do i activate agressor reshade?
just checking it in launcher?
