╟🎑reshades

[wind furnace]

is that a yes :D?

[manic sage]

nope

With your preset? Can you indicate which of the pictures is which weather mod?

[rich sentinel]

Yeah, one sec

Michiko Revamped

Michiko Revised

Abnormal

Gamma

Majestic

[manic sage]

This is with Clear_1 Clear_2?

what weather type?

[rich sentinel]

How do I know? I don't know how to use the debug yet

[manic sage]

Exit the game, in the launcher tick debug mode, launch the game. Once in the save press F7 then press "3"

weather type should be at the top

I think this is Clear_2?

[rich sentinel]

Its w_clear1

[manic sage]

I think gamma, michiko revised look best for clear_1

majestic is close but too dark

revamped looks like its foggy/cloudy for clear weather

[rich sentinel]

I'm currently taking shots of every weather type with the addons

There's a way for me to get like a folder for posting without getting here clunky?

[manic sage]

no idea

[rich sentinel]

There's a way to mix the weathers configs right?

[rich sentinel]

If so, I can try to get the best config of each one for personal use

[manic sage]

Its lots of work bur probably worth it

[rich sentinel]

Gamma clear 2 looks horrible

[manic sage]

Easier to work with when it comes to reshade

since its very much a blank slate

especially with my shader_param tweaks

[rich sentinel]

The ones on the hippo.ltx?

[manic sage]

Yeah those shader_param_tweaks touch on the contrast, brightness, and imagespace of the image

So yeah they tweak the image

like my shader_param tweaks look good on gamma but probably too contrasty for other weathers like majestic

atleast just from the pictures it looks that way

michiko revised looks good though, very balanced

[rich sentinel]

Clear 1 (Gamma)

Clear 2 (Gamma)

Don't know what happened to the shadows tbh

[manic sage]

clear 2 on gamma is generally lighter

[rich sentinel]

Yeah it does

[manic sage]

Now do michiko clear_1 and clear_2

[rich sentinel]

There's the tonemap addon on MCM, worth it to tweak?

[manic sage]

after that I wanna see foggy weather comparisons because foggy weather is the hardest to get right

[rich sentinel]

Never got the foggy weather ingame too

[manic sage]

For other weathers probably

[rich sentinel]

Majestic folder is done already

Doing gamma now

@manic sage I'll send you the folders with the shots

[manic sage]

Sweet

[rich sentinel]

Abnormal Weather got like 40 different weathers

No shit that its name is Abnormal

This weather on abnormal though

43 Different weathers not counting underground ones

[glacial spear]

he is recently been finalizing version 0.9 or maybe the final one, it should come in the next few days

[rich sentinel]

Insane on how much is in the addon

[glacial spear]

yes, last week he said he has done all and it'll start making the zip and upload to moddb. He is still on it 😄

here is some cool pictures he posted https://vk.com/abnormalweather.club140420336

[blissful ocean]

Does any1 have an idea why the game looks like that with Agressor? I've installed Agressor from moddb, I've cleared cache, I've tried every lumscale amb hemi value, different configs always pitch black

[sour oar]

with Aggressor
Checks out

[glossy pond]

Try not using aggressor

[mint owl]

Is your default GAMMA this dark? (without Agressor) if not, there goes your culprit

[mint owl]

If he uploads it on moddb could you please download it, I don't know if it will still be there for me in January

[mint owl]

I'd say Michiko's Revised Clear1 look best here

@silent cairn @manic sage @rich sentinel Keep up the good work guys, together you can create something godly, and I won't have anything Reshade related to create when home

[indigo zodiac]

Any chance anyone has a screenshot of the default Gamma reshades?

Like when you press Home, just the default options that are ticked

[sour oar]

I’d love to join in but I don’t even know how they change this stuff

[manic sage]

Hey you are actually a part of it, I’ve recommended your stuff here before

[sour oar]

I meant the SSS stuff

I’d love to play around but I’m not sure how to tinker it so I don’t want to break anything

[rich sentinel]

Yes, Hippo said the same, michiko owning on the clear department

[manic sage]

I can show you

@mint owl almost done with it now

this is partly weather

[mint owl]

How does it look like lighting wise at Rain2 5 and 6AM ?

It's the reason I use Adaptive Tonemapper

So that after a moment you can see where you're walking

[manic sage]

oh okay i gotcha

that was rain3 at 1pm

rain 2 5 am

6 am

7 am

[rich sentinel]

[manic sage]

dark nights

without reshade

with

[mint owl]

Looks good to me, I recommend testing these at the old church area in the Swamps

[rich sentinel]

Did someone said old church?

[mint owl]

Also I'd recommend slightly more exposure on that one, such a bright sky would probably cast a bit more light on the ground

[manic sage]

great swamp

[manic sage]

Agreed I just noticed it in clear weather in the great swamp

the shadows were too dark which made the image darker on the ground

just tweaked this

was at .09

[mint owl]

It's better now ?

The most ground exposure light should be in peak Clear daylight

[manic sage]

Yes a bit more natural tonemapping

Woop woop just updated

[mint owl]

Good, I'm getting you a tester right away

[manic sage]

Dyn just tested it his preset plus my tweaks looks really good and stylized

It’s as much a reshade release as well as a shader param release

So they can use mine to make their own reshades or use as is

[mint owl]

Well, can't wait to test it, I'm positive it's on the right tracks to be a godly Reshade

Probably the best we'd have on the server

[manic sage]

Mmmm idk it’s all personal preference

But i do need jaku to release his tweaks

They fix artifacts within base gamma

@mint owl look at this

#╟🎑reshades message

[mint owl]

Yup, personal preference but that will be the best all around preset imo

[rich sentinel]

Hippo.ltx slapping

[mint owl]

Crispy

[leaden linden]

try this config if you want Agressor so badly. Put it in your anomaly/bin folder. That was on an older version of reshade (4 months ago I think) many effects has been updated since then, but works better than the moddb one with more recent versions

[regal carbon]

moar color

8 pm in game

[mint owl]

Nevada be like

[sour oar]

Emission in Ohio

[indigo dune]

Not sure if this is the correct chat for this question...but can anyone suggest a great reshade? I tried edens autum and its incredible, however im looking for something that gets as close to realistic as possible. If anyone has got anything, please @ me!! Ty

[mint owl]

Have you tried my Reshade with Summer pack from Fabio Conte ?

Instead of the Autumn one

[vale flume]

Reshade I'm working on atm

Didn't think to grab a without screenshot. Will have to do that tomorrow

[glacial spear]

definitely I will download it, why do you think it won't be available? The addon page has been there since 2021

[mint owl]

Well, Dead Zone author made me a bit paranoid about limited availability on moddb x)

Did you download it as well ? Last time it was up for 3 days x)

[glacial spear]

the dead zone one? no I did not

[mint owl]

Yeah, I'll have to ask someone, pretty sure it will be removed by the time I come back x)

@astral kestrel You have the most recent version of Dead Zone right ?

[mild dome]

Dead Zone's back on moddb, unless it's a new/different one

[mint owl]

It is, but for how long is what I fear x)

[rich sentinel]

I got full dead zone here

[mint owl]

DYN my beloved

[rich sentinel]

Check your DM

[barren forge]

why this grass bipolar

this is what it looks like with the aggressor reshade on in MO2

[rich sentinel]

Gotta check your textures, some grass is overwriting it

[barren forge]

its just vanilla GAMMA, only thing ive done is turned on some things that were off

[rich sentinel]

Then it must be Gamma grass

[barren forge]

damn gamma grass bipolar

[rich sentinel]

Did you disabled Grulag's dead bushes?

[barren forge]

oh

i guess not

would this be it?

[rich sentinel]

Well shit, test it

[glossy pond]

Aggressor thing in mo2 is just ground texture

I think

[barren forge]

that seems to be the case

is this another one of those funny moments where i skipped over some important information in one of the channels?

hmmmm

[rich sentinel]

No reshade

Reshade done

Made a final version of my reshade, kinda tired of tweaking non stop, gotta sit down and play the game

[glossy pond]

Probably

[glossy pond]

Nice!

[tacit rapids]

surely

🙂

[lyric loom]

If anyone can help me (once again, sorry), how to avoid the auto-exposure when using the Gamma Reshade preset, to make it look like the 2nd pic? The Luma+Fade+Colour Correct off just makes bright as if the exposure was with the HUD on.

[leaden linden]

Firts of all, are you using volumetric lighting? GAMMA Reshade was made and fine tuned for Screen Space. If you want to use volumetric lighting, then use a proper reshade made for that specific lighting. Eden's, Hippo, Honda, Trip to the Zone, just to name a few that works well with volumetric

[lyric loom]

I feel like a big dumbass. Thank you, it's always the simplest things I never think of

[leaden linden]

No problem, try any of those reshades. If you want something more "vanilla" that works with volumetric. Let me know

[lyric loom]

I would like to know more

In what channel are those reshades posted? I already have Hippo's

[leaden linden]

Everything you need is here, except Trip to the zone one.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/trip-to-the-zone-reshade-presets-made-by-ultimatedunkel-030

[leaden linden]

Just search for the author name in the search bar, you will find the presets very quick

[leaden linden]

If you are interested in something more vanilla... You can try this out, maybe works for you as well

[lyric loom]

This one says to change these:
r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.8

r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 0.6

r2_sun_lumscale 2.2

r2_tonemap_middlegray 0.8

r2_gloss_factor 10

r2_gloss_min 0.8

If for whatever reason I don't like it, how do I revert these values back without knowing what my current values are?

[leaden linden]

I did a run with that reshade, and no problems with GAMMA default values.** IF **you encounter some problems with the lighting in some particular weathers. Try disabling Dynamic Tonemap in MCM menu. But overall is a good and unique preset. Very performance friendly btw iirc

[leaden linden]

If you want to keep Dynamic Tonemap enabled with that specific reshade. You could try this Tweaked script for Dynamic Tonemap. (Helps with some dark weathers from Fabio Conte Redux suite & a couple of weather from GAMMA)

Throw that file in your MO2. Look for Dynamic Tonemap (#37 on the list) Right click>Open in Explorer>gamedata>scripts>this file here

[silent cairn]

You can save your current settings with cfg_save grotazoski.ltx and then load it with cfg_load grotazoski

the .ltx is important in cfg_save, make sure the file appears in Anomaly\appdata

[lyric loom]

Tweaked a reshade made for Cyberpunk2077, got it juuuuust right though still going to fiddle with other ones too (Sun is clear_1 @12o'clock noon)

Here it is if any body would like to try it out :)

[leaden linden]

Sounds risky, but wth let's try it out lol

[lyric loom]

Hol up, I uploaded the wrong one I think

I didn't make it, just grabbed my go-to preset for CP2077 (from Nexus Mods) and turned off the Tonemap, FXAA, Curves and then changed ClarityBlendIfLight down to 55

That should be the correct one

[leaden linden]

Ok, this looks decent. Just 4 nodes i see, right?

[lyric loom]

Nodes? 😅

[leaden linden]

4 effects

[lyric loom]

Ohh yeah

The most significant change is making shadows a bit more...shadowy :P

And bringing out fine details in fabric/rock textures

[leaden linden]

let's see then. I like vanilla anomaly lol but im pretty sure what im going to see with this, just reading

[lyric loom]

I need to figure out how to pull the bloom fx from Gamma default reshade and put it in this one, I think that would be the icing on the cake so to speak ^_^

Next to a gas(?) anomaly resahde off entirely:

and with it on:

[leaden linden]

you want the bloom effect from gamma into this one?

give me a sec

[lyric loom]

Makes dark areas reeeeeeally dark, oops

and yeah please

The extra dark areas aren't too bad, gives much more incentive to use torch or NVG

[leaden linden]

Let me know, i'm doing this blindly, but there are the values from the bloom part of Gamma reshade, with the respective UImask

[lyric loom]

Is that my preset with only the bloom added yeah?

[leaden linden]

yes, try it out and let me know

[lyric loom]

The HDR and the CAS aren't on it

[leaden linden]

look for them and activate those. The values are the same from your OG reshade

I didnt touch those values

[lyric loom]

Oh okay, not sure why they were off lol

[leaden linden]

I have no way to check rn ingame, Im in the cel app

[lyric loom]

No worries

No reshade:

With:

Gonna stop tweaking and continue playing now xD

Ffs, when comparing presets, fx keep getting turned off for otherwise enabled fx, what gives? I hit save each time too

I give up, shit keeps borking when comparing

[weary spoke]

Hey, is anyone here using shaders from Expedition with Gamma?

[manic sage]

No but some are

[manic folio]

check mods posting

[indigo zodiac]

Any chance someone can drop a screenshot of the default reshades? Like press home and drop an ss of that?

[indigo dune]

i have not, are you able to link me the required?

[mint owl]

#custom-textures message

[glacial spear]

look at this

[indigo dune]

could somebody also link me the CS Eden Winter

[glacial spear]

well if you want, you can install all of them using this tool https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1035976982321692802/1035976982321692802

well, the winter seasons pack at least. I can't help you with the reshade but those packs have several reshade presets included

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

If it's Melting Winters, then follow the readme steps (basic + specific to Melting Winters) then place in load order according to my updated post

That is, if you want to use the Reshade I made for it, otherwise, just follow the Winter steps and updated load order

[glacial spear]

same clip but with reduced sun_shafts_intensity by 70%

[mint owl]

I feel like it's more realistic this way tbh

[glacial spear]

me too, I prefer it this way because the night it's darker. although I am quire sure there is someone somewhere that prefers it the other way 🙂

[mint owl]

Definitely so, now all that I'd do in that situation is up the ground exposure a bit, so it gives a faint light

[glacial spear]

this was just a quick test tbh, at the moment I don't have time to spend for weather edits expedition but maybe... What are these ground exposure params you are talking about?

I haven't played much to see if the exp weather is really for my liking. So far it gets too much distracting. It becomes such a statement that after while it destroys the atmosphere. Abnormal was better in my opinion and the variety really helps.

On the other end the lighting in general, contrast between interior vs exterior. When you go inside buildings with no light it is really dark and you can see from a window (a the same time) a really bright day outside). I think it does a good job

[glossy pond]

how do u guys get ur screenshots to stay hq

mine downscale it feels liek

[sour oar]

I use print screen

So I'm not sure if the other way to screenshot affects the quality

[glossy pond]

i use lightshot and reshade sc

feels like it loses a fair amount of quality, the same amt

[cinder depot]

my bad x)

[glossy pond]

@manic sage is it intended for your reshade to be very sharp? finally getting around to trying it

[manic sage]

Not particularly if you want it to be not as sharp turn off the cas effect

Or tweak the numbers down

without casv

With

Its hard to spot but just deblurs it a bit

It is something I can play around with and tweak down if necessary

without casv

With

[manic sage]

Default values are 50 and -50. You can tweak those pretty easily for your monitor resolution and such

[glossy pond]

👍 thank u looks like its just the cas effect as u said

i dont mind i was just wondering

[rich sentinel]

Red and sharp, must be hippo

[mint owl]

I'd say either through Reshade, the easiest way, or shader parameters, but best would be to ask Hippochad

I mean @manic sage

[manic sage]

Shader_param_1

Shader_param_3

Shader_param_4

play around with those

[manic sage]

Thanks Eden 🙂

[manic sage]

Is it really that red lol?

[mint owl]

To add on this, I'm not very convinced by Expedition weathers either honestly

[rich sentinel]

No no, just joking on your likeness of the red tint

I even embraced it with @mint owl Autumn textures

[manic sage]

Autumn textures slap

[mint owl]

Anyone would see red after so much Reshade work

Glad you like it guys, even though it's technically 90% not my work xD

[manic sage]

Its a good mashup

[rich sentinel]

I mean this tint is more like my feeling

[silent cairn]

[rich sentinel]

This is hippo

[mint owl]

Are you using Clarity by chance ?

[manic sage]

Aggresive anomalies

[rich sentinel]

I didn't even see it

[rich sentinel]

I don't know if its on, but it was

[mint owl]

Another detail that caught my eye, and that's Clarity related

[rich sentinel]

Clarity is like 3-5 FPS drop, but is nice

[mint owl]

The faint light around the weapon

[manic sage]

Yes exactly I had an issue with clarity yesterday

exactly that issue

I figured out a fix mostly for it

[mint owl]

You shouldn't use hard light

[manic sage]

EXACTLY

I was losing my mind yesterday until i ticked it into softlight

it delayed my upload

[mint owl]

I use softlight as well

I actually found it instantly xD

[manic sage]

At first I thought it was the fake GI

[rich sentinel]

So the tip of the gods of reshade is get hard light out?

[manic sage]

I didn't notice it until i started tweaking the low light indoors

I was in pripyat on a dummy monolith save

when I figured that out

spent roughly an hour playing with effects

[mint owl]

xD Yup, change to softlight

[manic sage]

Also another tip, put CAS sharpening towards the top, otherwise it can have sharpening artifacts

[rich sentinel]

You guys using glamarye with GI?

[manic sage]

load order of effects is very important I found that out yesterday

[rich sentinel]

Got a lot of artifacts with GI on

[mint owl]

Also you pushed one setting too far, more than 4 it seems on Clarity

That anomaly was sus

[manic sage]

I do, I tweaked it to 95% perfection

[mint owl]

Golden rule for any Reshade

[rich sentinel]

I swear, ingame it doesnt look like that

[manic sage]

You can copy my GI settings for reshade

[mint owl]

You could ask me when in doubt for Reshade rules xD

[manic sage]

for yours

[mint owl]

All of that headscratching for nothing

[rich sentinel]

But yeah I don`t got any idea on values, I just go with who looks better

[manic sage]

lmao

[manic sage]

its all tidy and neat now

Only 13 effects, down from 15-16 from 2 days ago

[rich sentinel]

Gonna copy it for my reshade if you dont mind

[manic sage]

go ahead

its just settings

As I told Eden a while back, I don't care for fame or any of that mess. Any one can use my reshades and work however they wish

[mint owl]

What can look better in one situation can look bad in another, if you wanna tweak Clarity I suggest you do it on Clear weather at 1AM, I usually do it near the Rookie village

Because the moon is sensitive to Clarity setting compared to the sun

[rich sentinel]

Don't even start me on rookie village weather testing

Hippo knows better

[mint owl]

I did that for a month you know xD

If not more x)

This is the fate of anyone doing an actual Reshade and not some absolute clumsy bloomfest of pixels

[rich sentinel]

But yeah, this version of mine is supposed to be final

I need to find peace and play the game

Stop the tweaking

[rich sentinel]

Check here

[mint owl]

Pro tip I learned while perfecting it, there's never a final version xD

Even though you can name it final

[rich sentinel]

DYN Final Final version

[manic sage]

CS Eden Final Reshade--Back from the dead--Guess Again V 2.2376, hotfix 6

[mint owl]

What does DYN mean btw ? x)

[rich sentinel]

My full name is Dayan

[mint owl]

Nice name, will probably use it

[rich sentinel]

A friend suggested to use DYN as a nickname

[manic sage]

Please do

[mint owl]

Nice one, kinda unique as a name

Not like mine which is 90% of the US

[rich sentinel]

Never saw Eden aside from the bible tbh

Here on Brazil they say "Jhin", atleast sound like it

US guys read only the capital letters, is funny

Literally getting out of memory crashes

[manic sage]

This is me in RL

[mint owl]

Eden isn't my real name though, it's John

Not so far from "Jhin" now x)

[rich sentinel]

John Eden sounds nice tbh

[silent cairn]

Eden's reshade

[mint owl]

Fun fact, in Fallout 3 the guy is named John Henry Eden

But Eden is a name I really love

[manic sage]

God tier, btw did you finish your tweaks yet I WANT THEM

[mint owl]

[rich sentinel]

I'm more of a New Vegas guy, but I understand you

[mint owl]

Same here x)

[rich sentinel]

And no, not using clarity on the "final" version of my reshade

[mint owl]

Well, your weapon halo was there for sure, so... culprit would be localcontrastCS

[silent cairn]

There are some weird things going on from time to time and I can't always tell if it just how it is or if I broke something

[mint owl]

Which is not a good effect anyway

[manic sage]

let me beta test

[silent cairn]

Alright

[rich sentinel]

Is it fixed?

[manic sage]

You could also move your effects around

effect load order is important

[rich sentinel]

I've been getting some graining on the trees

There's any fix for that?

[silent cairn]

mip_bias somewhere between -0.5 to 0.5

[mint owl]

Can you see it in the dark ? Like in a lab or something ?

[rich sentinel]

Maybe you can see better on video

Also can see the graining on the trees

And yes I'm tweaking the bias to try to fix it

[mint owl]

I won't be able to look at it for a while x)

Also, for the grainy, try pushing the ingame SMAA maybe ?

[mint owl]

Best would be to take the same screenshot with the same weather as when we saw it

[silent cairn]

@manic sage gloss_factor 0.001 and gloss_min 0.5. Delete shaders cache. I hope I didn't forget some weird piece of code in

[rich sentinel]

Where is the config for the soft shadows thingy?

[silent cairn]

If it's too shiny lower gloss_min value, I didn't test every texture pack out there

[rich sentinel]

Clear1 weather

[mint owl]

I don't see it anymore but I'm on mobile though

[mint owl]

What time of day is it ?

[rich sentinel]

15:00

[mint owl]

Maybe the sky is a bit bright but for 15:00 not sure

[rich sentinel]

Are you using volumetric or screen space?

But yeah, no reshade

[mint owl]

Volumetric

Your sky looks better without imo but your ground level textures are better with Reshade for sure

[rich sentinel]

Chimera Hunter textures looks nice though

[rich sentinel]

Gotta tweak some sky light

[leaden linden]

Man... Thank you for this! Ground textures are back

[plucky pewter]

Chefs kiss Perfection.

[rigid sapphire]

whats your reshade called i keep hearing good things about it

[rich sentinel]

You mean Eden reshade?

[unkempt marten]

anyone familiar with any filters/effects that change the color of the skybox as you move? dynamic tonemap is disabled, I am using default gamma reshade

[mint owl]

Disable something with RT color correction in the name

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

Here you go

For good alternatives less performance hungry, you can try looking at #1035807043933720576 Graphics section

[rigid sapphire]

thanks

[unkempt marten]

problem solved, you're the man!

[rigid sapphire]

do i just put the reshde folder in my mods list? or do i put it somewhere else

[unkempt marten]

absolute fucking king

[mint owl]

Haha I have Reshade experience that's it xD

[mint owl]

There are specific instructions for each Reshade, all you need is following them

But usually it's in bin folder in your Anomaly folder, the rest depends on your reading comprehension

Always make sure to have by the end of it the expected number of effects ans intended look by either reading the post if it's precised, or asking the author

[rich sentinel]

So I guess my game gamma was too much

Was like this

Then I fixed it with the 0.6 gamma

Reshade ON

[manic sage]

are these in base gamma?

[manic sage]

Loving it so far havent noticed anything bad yet

[rich sentinel]

You mean the textures?

[manic sage]

yes

[rich sentinel]

I guess so, didn't test it without the heavy texture addons

Can do in a minute though

[rich sentinel]

@manic sage Your game looks like this?

[manic sage]

no lol

i play with gamma 1

[sour oar]

1.1 enjoyer here

[rich sentinel]

Is this shadow on the wall supposed to be like this?

[manic sage]

which one

[rich sentinel]

First image, with 1.1 gamma

[manic sage]

no where is this?

so I can recreate it on my screen

[sour oar]

Left side?

Ah

[rich sentinel]

Clear sky base

[rich sentinel]

Yeah

[rich sentinel]

Room next to Cold

[sour oar]

I think maybe the shadows are too contrasted?

[rich sentinel]

There is contrast config ingame or only monitor?

[sour oar]

Not sure, I change that stuff with the shadows/midtones/highlights effect, can’t be bothered to go all the way into the files

[manic sage]

I have very natural lighthing

I will say though getting the indoor lighting to be just right is very hard

[rich sentinel]

Well shit, my contrast is scuffed them

There's no reshade btw

[rich sentinel]

This is no reshade

[manic sage]

Yeah could be, just because something looks good outside doesn't mean it'll be good inside

[rich sentinel]

Me telling it to some girls

[manic sage]

lmao

[rich sentinel]

Any contrast setting ingame?

[rich sentinel]

I suppose thats reshade side

[sour oar]

Ah

Well it looks awesome without reshade. You’re just tweaking the settings in-game?

[rich sentinel]

I'm trying to fix the contrast without reshade

So maybe after I could tweak other things with reshade

I could fix it with reshade, but the game looking scuffed without it is strange

[manic sage]

puddles hit different with Jakus tweaks

[sour oar]

I’m not entirely sure if it is the contrast, I’m just guessing it might be

[sour oar]

Is there a new version out or is that the old one?

[manic sage]

#╟🎑reshades message

[sour oar]

[mint owl]

Hmm, resetting the whole computer to factory settings seems like the only way

[manic sage]

lol

[silent cairn]

They look oddly.. magenta I need to check this (Edit: it was because of different color grading)

[manic sage]

there is some weird artifacts in there

idk if you can see, depends on the angle of viewing

[sour oar]

I can’t see anything on my phone in the middle of the night, but I know it’s awesome

[manic sage]

literally the only thing I've noticed about this so far

It can be seen with or without the reshade

also in the shadows but tbh the screen space shadows have always been somewhat funky

[silent cairn]

Yeah the SSS shadows have dithering for performance reasons

[rich sentinel]

Only with reshade though

[manic sage]

Yeah totally get it,

[manic sage]

Be careful about only relying on reshade, as some reshade darkening won't translate well to other people's monitors

[rich sentinel]

Did you take those screens without reshade? You didn't mention

Guess I found the culprit of the strange shadow

Is the config on the ltx file

[mint owl]

Cough loudly

[sour oar]

Eden and I who only relied on reshades be like

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahahah-gahahahaha-haha-ha-fun-gif-19042485

[sour oar]

Now I feel vastly inferior

[manic sage]

lmao

I mean I still rely on reshade

but thats why I'm still actively trying to get my number of effects to 10 or below

currently at 13 down from 16

[sour oar]

[silent cairn]

If you have poor monitor for calibrating reshade just send the screenshot to your phone

[sour oar]

Then you’re squinting into your phone like

[silent cairn]

Eden has probably become an expert at that by now

[mint owl]

Squinting at the phone ? Yup, been three weeks now, still two months and a half left

[rich sentinel]

There's a way to change the shader param in real time or only editing the ltx and loading the cfg through console?

[silent cairn]

shader_param_1 - 4 in console

shader_param_1 1,1,1,0.1

[manic sage]

Yeah Jaku showed me how to tweak those,

You can read more about it here https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-shaders-and-color-grading-for-151

[rich sentinel]

I gotta tweak the settings to fix that shadow on the game without reshade

Thats why its scuffed

Grading_default

hippo.ltx

[mint owl]

I feel a disturbance of textures here

But my 3yo phone is probably acting up as well xD

[manic sage]

color grading time 🙂

@mint owl Need your eyes for a sec

hows the color of the facade?

cloudy dark weather

in clear 2

[silent cairn]

Yup, that's concrete

[manic sage]

Cool the reason I ask is because I am red/green color blind

when people tell me that I have tints

I literally go oh god

[sour oar]

Fairly concretey to me

[silent cairn]

Ahh you have to really rely on numbers then

[sour oar]

Nice yellow on the concrete plus I feel like some spots are a very nice watered down red, if that makes sense. Very much a fan

[silent cairn]

That's tough

[manic sage]

Yeah I do

it sucks but oh well

[mint owl]

Looks great imo

[manic sage]

Sweet, you'll like lightroom

you can edit luts within the reshade not as good as editing luts in photoshop but good enough

[mint owl]

Definitely so x)

Yeah, we have plenty of options honestly

[wispy wagon]

is there a guide for adding textures I downloaded golden autumn but I dont know to how to active it

nvm I found it

[manic sage]

Is this with the update from 6 hours ago? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders

[silent cairn]

New SSS

Now I gotta do puddles again

I'll integrate it asap

[manic sage]

Yeah pretty big changelog

might also fix your issues without your tweaks who knows

[silent cairn]

I hope so

[manic sage]

or atleast help your tweaks

[silent cairn]

Well it did help my tweaks

by making me realize my SSR settings were all wrong

It looks so much better now

[jagged wadi]

Can someone help me understand reshade installation via MO2 for gamma?

I have downloaded SSS.zip and used the MO2 to install it, but I dont see any changes to Reshade options and I cannot find the .ini for it
Edit: also deleted the shaders present on launch

[glossy pond]

Sss isn’t reshade

Reshade is different

You would put a reshade preset in gamma rc3.2, overwrite, bin if that’s what you mean

And new reshade effects would go in anomaly, bin, reshade shaders

[jagged wadi]

Can I do it via MO2 so I can disable that if the game would break, or must I do it via overwriting files?

also, I ment Shaders (from the link above)

[glossy pond]

Wait what are you trying to do

[jagged wadi]

I want to install screen-space-shaders addon

[glossy pond]

Isn’t it already a part of gamma

Maybe not that latest update but I believe it’s part of gamma

[jagged wadi]

so I've been lied to with the trailers 😄

[mint owl]

SSS have been part of GAMMA for a while now

[glossy pond]

Can we even update it manually

Id expect it might break our game

[mint owl]

It will be updated soon

[glossy pond]

I’m sure but I’m wondering if we could do it ourselves

Saw something about it not working in other channels

[mint owl]

Sure, but that would be on you afterward

#📢announcements

It will come in time and fully working

Making it work now is kind of a waste of time imo

[glossy pond]

Definitely

Id be too lazy to try regardless

[fathom saddle]

hi, i'm looking for a tarkov-ish preset for the gamma shaders, can anybody help?

[signal fractal]

hey, how do you access the shaders from SSS? when i press pos1 in stalker and get to the shader menu i cant find anything of what is shown on mod db...and my game doesnt get close to what it looks there.

[muted sapphire]

Screenspace Shaders aren't a reshade function. If you want to edit those variables you need to do it through the console by pressing '~' & entering the variable names and desired values manually

[signal fractal]

oh ok thanks i will give it a try

[silent cairn]

@manic sage Should work with newest SSS now (it's included, if you want DOF you have to install it yourself)

[manic sage]

Did you test to see if the new SSS had mediated the issues you wanted to fix?

I'm assuming you did

[silent cairn]

Yeah I had some values all wrong they are fixed now

... maybe

[manic sage]

Nice, I've been playing around with the new SSS its nice but I havent been able to get the weapon dof working yet, only the inventory dof

[manic sage]

I'll test it out

[silent cairn]

Yeah gamma has some mods that turn off dof so unfortunately the sss dof is not not plug and play

[manic sage]

Ahh okay

[silent cairn]

You could try to remove grok_dof_with_ui.script in gamma ui mod and see if that fixes it

[manic sage]

Thank you

[manic sage]

Btw do you use the custom executables for the new SSS

or should I not bother with your fixes

I already have them installed but I can revert back if needed

[silent cairn]

My fixes don't care about the executable, it should work with any configuration of SSS If you have SSS 17 already installed with dof you can ignore the BASE option in my installer

[manic sage]

Sweet, thank you. Thats all I needed to know

...one more thing, I see you have an optional ambient occlusion. How is that any different? I could end up turning off the added AO in my reshade to save fps if there is a nice change from yours.

I promise thats the last thing

[silent cairn]

It's the in-engine SSDO just buffed up a little bit

you might still want to use reshade's one, depends on taste

Glamarye AO is cheap anyway

[manic sage]

This fixed it for me

[rich sentinel]

Made some tweaks to the shadows and sky

[frail kraken]

How did you make it look so good?

[twin wind]

Guys anyone here know a performance friendly reshade setting they can senbd me a picture of?

[rich sentinel]

The big change on my side was making the game darker and trying to correct the brightness-gamma-contrast, most of what I learned was from @manic sage and @mint owl

[rich sentinel]

But I'm using Fabio Autumn Redux, grading_default and my reshade

[twin wind]

DYN Can you please give me help

[frail kraken]

oh okay nice man

[rich sentinel]

Well it depends on what you think of performance friendly, my reshade drops 5 to 10 FPS

You could get more performance, but of course, less effects

[twin wind]

DYN I need help with setting reshade I get 55 fps with default gamma reshade

I need a good reshade with 60 fps

Can you please El Problemo Solvo For me?

[silent cairn]

DPX effect

[rich sentinel]

Its easier for you to fix the settings ingame than to look for a reshade with more FPS

[twin wind]

What settings do you recommend

[rich sentinel]

Lower grass settings, texture quality on 50%, disable AO, View distance 50%

[twin wind]

Wait so do you have a Reshade setting and stuff?

And what reshade are you using, GAMMA Default?

[rich sentinel]

I'm using my reshade, custom

You can get all sorts of reshade presets on #1035807043933720576

[frail kraken]

i dont know how hes game looks sooo much better then mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pET1KNos0o&t=189s&ab_channel=Tsauce

[twin wind]

Which one would you recommend which looks closest to Default gamma reshade

[rich sentinel]

Check the screenshots on the author pages, judge by yourself there

Its your own way of viewing

[twin wind]

Ok

[silent cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDlCupewM5o

[rich sentinel]

I guess its because he's running 4K tbh

[silent cairn]

He also has Summer to Autumn texture mod which you can only get from EFP server iirc

[rich sentinel]

I would run the game on 4K but my RX580 cant handle that much

[frail kraken]

omg thank you very much how can i donwload the textrue mod?

[rich sentinel]

Get on the EFP server discord

[frail kraken]

and what do i have to write there?

[silent cairn]

They have texture-mods channel in there

[rich sentinel]

Well nothing, you just gotta agree to the terms and rules, there's texture packs sections there

[frail kraken]

oh okay thank you very much guys

[drowsy isle]

@silent cairn how do i add your reshade stuff

[silent cairn]

Oh I have made no reshade stuff

[drowsy isle]

idk what i'm doing i just want game to look good

i installed your thing

[drowsy isle]

this thing

[silent cairn]

Why the heck do I keep calling it SSS 17

or 16 for that matter

Anyway

Did you follow the instructions?

[drowsy isle]

where are they

i am idiot

[silent cairn]

They were included in the installer

[drowsy isle]

oh that

yes

but where do i put all the files

[silent cairn]

I'll just reupload it with name change to avoid confusions, if you have questions/problems/feedback DM me directly

[silent cairn]

If you use the MO2 to install it the files go automatically where they should

[drowsy isle]

https://tenor.com/view/how-matty-matheson-just-a-dash-party-tray-pizza-hoax-how-is-that-possible-gif-26361120

[silent cairn]

Select the zip file

[indigo zodiac]

Any chance someone running the default reshade can drop a screenshot of this screen? Was following the optimization guide but now I want to turn this back on but of course I didn't copy down the settings first...

[indigo zodiac]

Thank you very much!

[drowsy isle]

is installed now

do i need to turn it on now then

[silent cairn]

In the MO2, yes

This won't make your game look amazing, it is just some adjustments

[drowsy isle]

is it this one

[silent cairn]

For amazing graphics, check out Eden's Final or Hippo's reshade in #1035807043933720576 or #🖇old-mods-posting, they come with detailed instructions on how to install (read everything).

And #custom-textures for textures

[manic sage]

getting reflections on the cieling, I havent verified if its due to your fixes or just SSS update not playing well with gamma

[silent cairn]

Where is this

[manic sage]

army warehouse

also could be weather editor bugging out

let me relog

[silent cairn]

freedom base?

[manic sage]

Yes

[silent cairn]

You are running efp+gtr textures right?

[silent cairn]

Probably parallax glitch from gtr

[manic sage]

Yeah could be

[glossy pond]

is this an update to ur tweaks u posted a while back

[silent cairn]

Yep it's for the new SSS Update 12

[glossy pond]

nice

how do i manually update sss

[silent cairn]

You'd download it from moddb and install like any other mod

[glossy pond]

ok and id just replace the sss thats already in there?

deactivate the old activate the new? simple as that?

[silent cairn]

Only if you want to install the new DoF effect, I included the newest SSS (without dof) in that repack already

[glossy pond]

oh so i can just install ur tweaks like i did with the prior one and it includes the update

[silent cairn]

Yeah, there are options now so just select at least the base and main ones

I didn't want to bother with the dof since it requires the custom exe

Just waiting for to add it for us

[glossy pond]

alright cool

[glossy pond]

this

@silent cairn so i download all this, where does it go in mod order?

[silent cairn]

Below shaders cumulative pack

[glossy pond]

all of it

anything i should disable aside from your old tweak

[silent cairn]

It's gonna be just one mod, don't worry

Nah, don't need to disable anything

Once Grok updates the cumulative pack you don't need it anymore so keep an eye on announcements

[glossy pond]

👍

[dapper yarrow]

is there a way to keep the puddles from sss on all the time?? game looks so much better with them

[south mantle]

Anyone knows why are all npc lighting like that ?

[mint owl]

Grading default is very dark (too much imo) compared to grading vanilla though

[lyric loom]

My custom presets aren't saving when pressing save or duplicate in Reshade menu, anyone take a gander as to why? There is no write protection and me (the admin, the sole user of this PC) has all the right permissions to read/write data to anywhere

[rich sentinel]

And I was thinking grading default and vanilla was the same

[lyric loom]

RX580 GANG! WOO

[lyric loom]

idk but from the 5 minutes I watched, I know I'ma like this dudes content lol

[mint owl]

You either need to imput a new name, or look into your overwrite folder

If not, then your Reshade preset simply updates in your bin folder

[mint owl]

That can happen, but they are nowhere near the same x)

Grading vanilla is the superior choice

[rich sentinel]

I needed to change the parameters, hippo config was making the strange contrast shadows (I'm sure in his side is nice) but maybe is the monitor config over here

[mint owl]

Hmm, well I use that grading myself, I'm not sure that I have any shadow issue but it didn't strike me

[rich sentinel]

This here

[mint owl]

To be honest I prefer the upper image here

But I would have to see the light source to be sure

[rich sentinel]

Clear sky base, next to Cold's room

What I'm trying to determine is if the shadows need to be dark basing on the hour of the game 2AM

Or a slight darkness where you can still see without a light

The question is, how much dark the game needs to be at night?

Grading_vanilla

Hippo

This is without reshade

[mint owl]

What you could do is what I did, base the light on the moon

[rich sentinel]

What weather?

[mint owl]

For exemple, full moon from Fabio Conte's weathers (Clear weathers) would cast more light than Rain2 nights which are moonless

[glossy pond]

what reshade effect would be causing this bright glow

[rich sentinel]

@glossy pond Print the effects that are on

[glossy pond]

nvm its arcane bloom

[rich sentinel]

Can happen, I tweaked the arcane for some lights

[glossy pond]

ah i see

[mint owl]

Dark ground and light sky, what happened ? xD

[rich sentinel]

So this is fine to you?

[mint owl]

Yup

Maybe a bit darker ?

[glossy pond]

assuming the weather, no clue

[rich sentinel]

@mint owl Spent the last hours testing different lights

[glossy pond]

did cfg_load hippo (his ltx) and using dyn final preset so

[lyric loom]

Overwrite folder was the one, thanks a bunch Eden <3

[glossy pond]

wow those are nice

[rich sentinel]

I'm still using the final preset

But tweaked the contrast and exposure to try those screens

[rich sentinel]

What weather are you using?

[glossy pond]

golden autumn redux

[rich sentinel]

Cause I tweaked that reshade for Fabio Autumn

[glossy pond]

i dont think the dark ground was an issue it doesnt seem out of place

somewhat early morning

[rich sentinel]

You can always try to switch between volumetric and screen space

[glossy pond]

like 5am

its just arcane bloom, ill just turn it down

unless that will mess with toher stuff?

[rich sentinel]

Nope, you can turn it off, I was messing with the lights with it

[rich sentinel]

Some effects are better underground or in buildings

[glossy pond]

ok cool

[rich sentinel]

@glossy pond In this one I got the lights like that with blooming_HDR

But outside can be pretty bad

[glossy pond]

ah yeah because the whole sky emits light right

so the bloom would be like very amplified i assume

[rich sentinel]

Check your chat, I'll send some screens for comparison

[mint owl]

Hard to see with my phone's quality x)

From what I can see, except the first one, all the images are too dark

I feel like the light sources should expend a bit more

Especially on the last one

[glossy pond]

It looks better on pc

a little dark but in a good way

[manic sage]

Looking good Dyn

[rich sentinel]

Looks like bloom HDR will stay only for underground

Outside its too much

[manic sage]

Look where i put hdr in my preset you’ll notice something

Load order wise

It’s between two other effects

[jolly orbit]

For anybody who have ultra wide monitor and want to add some immersion to your game. Use before all your reshade fx it will bled pretty nice with the ambient 🙂

[glossy pond]

💀

hey guys tihs doesnt seem good

[lyric loom]

Looks like your shaders are messed up :(

[glossy pond]

really

[lyric loom]

You're low health too so maybe its from that, idk

Would like some testers to test my reshade preset on their rigs. This is for darker darks, lighter lights with increased sharpness (can turn off if you already have sharpening via your GPU or other software) and overall better visual clarity. It should work with any other game you throw at it too. Visual settings are 1, 0.8, 1.

[jolly orbit]

This shit is because your gpu is working too hard. Because reshade asking to proccess more than it can..

artefacts...

try to overclock your gpu lil bit.. memory speed

[lyric loom]

I'm always tryna push my gpu to its limit and never encountered a problem like this in any game O.o Sure it's not a driver issue?

[mint owl]

@manic sage @silent cairn @sour oar @rich sentinel

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cgim-2-for-anomaly1

Any thoughts ?

[sour oar]

[rich sentinel]

I tried the CGIM 2 Weather, but not this addon, the only problem is the incompatiblity with the shaders and tonemap

Gotta disable lots of addons for it to work, but I gotta try it sometime

[mint owl]

Hopefully that will work over time

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cgim-2-for-anomaly

The Legendary TomyGD posted this as well, more compatibility

[rich sentinel]

Yes, this is the one I tried, but before the update

[glossy pond]

agressor goes crazy

so this is why everyones talking about agressor reshade and textures

[manic sage]

LMAO

But yeah once patches are made I will give this a shot

[lyric loom]

Can't stand it when people do this, at LEAST ask permission, if they say no, don't do it

[atomic hollow]

Thoughts?

theres a bit of banding but im pretty sure its just this weapon?

[lyric loom]

Once again promoting a reshade I put together for better visual clarity during the day and much darker nights for more spook. Turn off the CAS sharpening if you use a sharpen method from elsewhere :)

[mint owl]

Quite possibly yes x)

[mint owl]

True legend

[silent cairn]

I tried this yesterday, but without the shader files it comes with. Has more weathers than vanilla and the lighting was quite consistent. Lacks impressive sunrise/sunsets and the stupid bloom settings it comes with made my eyes bleed

[open imp]

do you copy this to the gamma reshade ini file in the anomaly install location?

[lucid hawk]

the game went from nice to beautiful with the gamma x expedition mod and really high fps with almost all at max

[open imp]

how u do dis?

[static forge]

Is it this? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151

[manic sage]

@mint owl Very rough right now but I think I can elminate 5 effects with my next release

This picture has no reshade at all

[mint owl]

@open imp @static forge Pretty sure it's this #1037753021322506240 message

[mint owl]

Ah, exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for, maybe it will look better with the shader compatibility but sunsets/sunrises should be intense imo

[mint owl]

Hard to see on my phone but you manage to keep it visually the same while having 5 less active effects ?

[manic sage]

Visually yes, the color grading is off now

so I need to work on that which is why its rough

but a good proof of concept

everything is somewhat tinted green now

[sour oar]

Wow

Looks great man

[mint owl]

"This picture has no reshade at all"

[sour oar]

Exactly

I’m boggled as to how that’s possible, keep doing what you’re doing guys

[silent cairn]

Yeah the clear/partly weathers felt very same-y and bland, I might try it again with skies redux even though you shouldn't mix those

[manic sage]

I was gonna release tonight but I think I wanna perfect this before the next release

[mint owl]

Quite impressive indeed

[manic sage]

shader params are magic

[mint owl]

Maybe by mixing some skyboxes from it with others ?

[mint owl]

[silent cairn]

Speaking of weathers the creator of abnormal said they wanted to release a new version beginning of this month

[mint owl]

Great news, hopefully that will fix some of the issues

[silent cairn]

I think they wanted to include chernobylite inspired weather(s?)

(this screenshot is from chernobylite)

[manic sage]

effects disabled

[sour oar]

[sour oar]

You ever been so tired you’re not sure if something is sarcasm or not

[manic sage]

yeah lol

[sour oar]

Thank

Wait

[mint owl]

Looks like retirement for me xD

[manic sage]

It might look pretty rn but there are still many issues

more than I had before but I have a foundation now to get rid of many effects

[mint owl]

Damn if it's gonna be real that will be great, I'll be also looking for some Dead Air weathers

[mint owl]

From my phone's perspective, nothing wrong here

[manic sage]

Out doors are great, god rays are great but indoors is wack rn

working on that

[mint owl]

More lightroom ?

[manic sage]

The worst part is that indoors is the worst to get right

no luminance

[mint owl]

Oof

[manic sage]

extremely bright

gotta tone it down

[mint owl]

Sad reshader life xD

[silent cairn]

"Everything looks great but what about weatherX during xx:xx"

Although if the weather itself is borked you probably shouldn't try to accommodate

cough clear2 hemi colors cough

[manic sage]

lightroom is magic

new best friend

[mint owl]

Easy, make all weathers the same weather

[manic sage]

without lightroom

With

Gotta mess with it more tomorrow, if I didnt have work this would be done in a day but oh well

next 2 days should be a new juicy release

[plucky pewter]

seems I will have to wait for the update release, and do a full reinstall. Something broke the scope shaders

[silent cairn]

Newest SSS broke it? Did you try to use the dof?

[plucky pewter]

I actually just used your build but reverting afterwards did not restore the scope shaders

[silent cairn]

There should be an option in the MCM menu (SSS settings)

[plucky pewter]

I ran the full checkup to restore original settings, nada

(the full install via grok installer, it did restore MCM before so I presume it would've restored that)

unless it was hard-set for the save which shouldn't happen as YACS keeps getting reset no matter what

I'll do a full reinstall and see if its just one of the mods that got updated on moddb

[silent cairn]

That is a new option, it is not there without the newest SSS

Scopes work for me

[plucky pewter]

...Wouldn't it still work if I restored back to original modlist?

[silent cairn]

It should yeah

[plucky pewter]

well, it should take me a bit but I will check then

[silent cairn]

Unless

Did you replace the exe?

[plucky pewter]

Nope

even restored it to see if that was the problem

(had it saved from back when I tried Autumn Harmony)

[silent cairn]

If you install my shader tweaks and activate that option I screenshotted above they should work without restoring anything

[plucky pewter]

Well, I already did the dumb thing and sought to reinstall, 's fine

[silent cairn]

[open imp]

anyone know where to get the summer to autumn texture pack?

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[open imp]

thx I just found it in EFP disc, that one should be up to date right?

[silent cairn]

I just know it's there

up to date or not

[open imp]

alright bet thx

[vale flume]

Gonna post a few screenshots of my reshade. Lmk what you all think. First of each is default

This last one is just standalone

[silent cairn]

Not bad, seems like it could fit variety of setups

[silent cairn]

It's actually not too shabby if you ignore the shaders and most of the configs you are supposed to use with it and spice it up yourself. Seems very nice especially for volumetric/combined sunshafts users (it's designed for combined).

Works pretty well with Eden's reshade but the sky is somehow brighter than some other weather mods and AmbientLight/bloom gets too much from time to time

[mint owl]

Problem with combined was the moon during Clear1 with Golden Autumn Weathers

[silent cairn]

I think it's still kind of a problem with volumetric, the sunshaft strength is just tripled of what it should be

Makes for a different night experience though

[mint owl]

Yeah, I'd need to look further into it, but I'm still glad it kinda work with my Reshade x)

[plucky pewter]

you were right.

I feel big dum now but oh well

gives me reason to restart and maybe hunt down a KS23

[silent cairn]

Nothing dum about that, the mcm option was new. I thought only replacing the exe with the new one would break the scopes without the option on.

But the option doesn't come enabled by default so...

[plucky pewter]

Yeah, what screwed with me was having default SSS and yet scopes were still disabled

as in the one that didn't have this option yet

I guess at this point all I need is a better weather mod that works with your setup and warm colour grading

[silent cairn]

Yeah it got messed because I forgot to set the default setting for it to be ON

My bad

I fixed it now but I'm not gonna upload it anymore to this channel, I need to make mods-posting sometime later

[plucky pewter]

Naw, 's good, I should've looked around before jumping to conclusions

Oh well, fresh start with existing knowledge, is for the better.

Jaku any weather mods you'd recommend that look solid with this?

[silent cairn]

Technically the shader tweaks should enhance everything

[plucky pewter]

I know, but gamma weathers are a bit...on the blander side

[silent cairn]

I like michiko's revamp revised with skies redux but it's "realistic". If you want something more grand the weathers from FabioConte's season mods are nice

[plucky pewter]

I looked at that one actually, do I need the mentioned settings tweaks for better visuals or is it fine as is?

[silent cairn]

Uhh which settings tweaks are you referring to

[plucky pewter]

The ones in the description for Michikos revised

[silent cairn]

Ooh

Well

It looks nice with default settings as well, it could be up to your taste

[plucky pewter]

(by the way since you're there, during the MO2 install of revised michiko, what components should I select?)

[silent cairn]

dynamic params if you want the dynamic wind effect

[plucky pewter]

alright, going to set it at the end there and set up for a greener zone

[open imp]

does disabling the bas 2d scopes disable the blurry version of the scopes that are visible after pressing v? I have it disabled and dont really notice a difference but dont exactly know what it does

[glacial spear]

@mint owl morning https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/abnormal-weather08

[silent cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/there-it-is-well-there-it-is-gif-8569483

[plucky pewter]

Hopefully once people test that and if it works out the gate with Gamma, I will switch to that. Weathers remind me of Build atmosphere

[glacial spear]

why not check it yourself? just add the mod to GAMMA at the bottom of the modlist

you don't need the gamma team scientist to test this

[plucky pewter]

well, at the moment I decided to try out Michikos revised, see how that fares, and it's raining ingame so I want to see at least some clear weathers before I change

[glacial spear]

ahh ok, it's good not to get distracted 🙂

[split lagoon]

@silent cairn hey, so if I install your SSS tweaks does it include the update posted yesterday?

[mint owl]

Great news for sure, thank you very much for the ping

[silent cairn]

It carries on the tradition where some weathers are pretty and some just absolutely broken

Then again I don't know which weathers are included in the cycle of weathers

[glacial spear]

this looks good though

[silent cairn]

That's one of the prettier ones

[silent cairn]

My tweaks shouldn't be available anymore, depends when you got it

[split lagoon]

Oh man that’s sad I was planning to install them today

Why’s that?

[silent cairn]

I'll upload it to the actual mod channel so this one doesn't flooded with unrelated issues I just wanted some feedback from the sharp-eyed peeps that dwell here

Since this channel is kinda about visual fidelity as well it seems

[split lagoon]

Guess I’ll keep an eye out cause I noticed rain ponds reflections looking weird with my reshade

[mint owl]

Wrong, it's a channel about Agressor

[twin wind]

Guys anyone there

Can someone link me to a reshade that doesnt lag and Also looks like DEFAULT GAMMA RESHADE

Guys anyone?

[tulip ruin]

is there a way to restore the default gamma shader settings, I think I changed them and fucked it up

[twin wind]

Oh no

[silent cairn]

You can find the default preset in GAMMA\ .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin

[tulip ruin]

so I put the reshade-shaders in the anomaly bin folder ?

[silent cairn]

You only need the G.A.M.M.A.Reshade.ini file (replace the one in bin folder)

[tulip ruin]

thx

[twin wind]

Jaku can you help me setup a Default Gamma reshade preset which is performance friendly?

[silent cairn]

Disable everything except these two I suppose

Correct Color is not the most performance friendly though

[twin wind]

Ohhh

[lyric loom]

Drop it in Anomaly/bin folder

[lyric loom]

that looks insanely good

[sharp wagon]

I need some help, I think I screwed up when I was deleting presets and now I got no options in ReShade, nothing, I tried reinstalling it manually but it didn't work

oh wait, nvm I think I managed to reinstall it propely now

at least I'll know in 5 seconds when I load

Didn't work smh

[silent cairn]

You can copy the contents in GAMMA\ .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin to your Anomaly\bin to reset the reshade

[sharp wagon]

Aight thanks

The fuck am I installing then

[silent cairn]

Well technically you just need these files

[sharp wagon]

I'll just move everything, it's not a lot

Still nothing wtf

[silent cairn]

[sharp wagon]

okay, time to delete the bin folder and just replace it with fresh one ž

[silent cairn]

If it doesn't work it should still generate Reshade.log file, just toss that here and I'll take a look

[sharp wagon]

nope, it's just giving me an empty box

Ah, OK, I figured it out, it's not the fact that I deleted something I managed to overwrite a file in the Overwrite folder and it was pulling from there

[daring nexus]

i shouldve taken a ss, but does anyone know the default enabled setting for gamma reshade? i unclicked all and now im not sure which to enable

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[daring nexus]

@silent cairn savior

was hoping it was pinned, thank you again jaku

[sharp wagon]

okay, just one more thing, I know I'm retarded but now when I wanna load my presets they have all the options disabled

[lyric loom]

Where are the presets stored? I found if they're in GAMMA/overwrite/bin, they disable all the effects, so once you've made a preset, click save or dupe it then go to that folder I just mentioned and move them to the Anomaly/bin. I had the same issue and this fixed it for me so hopefully it will work for you too :) gl

[sharp wagon]

they are in Anomaly/bin

I tried downloading some off the internet and they do show up but everything's disabled as well

folder options are also set on full control so it's not an admin issue

[lyric loom]

I find that if you make edits to a preset and click save in the Reshade menu, they'll save to GAMMA/overwrite/bin, trust I was pulling my hair out for nearly an hour tryna figure it out too until someone said to check that folder lol

[sharp wagon]

I deleted everything in overwrite due to my previous problem, still doesn't explain how a downloaded preset is also disabled fully

[swift robin]

how many winter mods are there for anomaly

i know yawm and project iverno but are there more

also which one would you guys recommend

preview videos on the mod's page dont really show much

[lyric loom]

honestly not 100% sure why tbh, best of asking an experienced reshade user

Lemme try my summoning chant!
