╟🎑reshades

[manic sage]

Actually 6

[frigid spade]

more isnt always better

[bitter edge]

Like plastic cheese

[versed night]

shhh

[bitter edge]

God my game looks so fucking blamd

[manic sage]

Only 6 effects not 13

[frigid spade]

it depends on the effect. i have another reshade that has like 10

[bitter edge]

Why is normal gamma reshade so ass?

[versed night]

still looks good, waiting more some more tweaks to it, i keep downloading yours lol

[bitter edge]

It doesnt change anything for me

[frigid spade]

im serious though hippo, what do you do when you lighten up your guns?

cuz ive been trying so hard to figure it out

its been like 5 hours

[manic sage]

I’ll send you an updated preset later tonight with better black levels on top of this

[frigid spade]

my contrast is not high and my black levels are so tweaked blacks are turning grey

[manic sage]

Also a key indicator of black levels being bad is if your inventory gets fucked up

Is your monitor calibrated?

[versed night]

wait the one im using rn has 14 options checked

wdym 6? 6 in the new one?

[manic sage]

That’s the old one

[sick wigeon]

Get some textures from #custom-textures and a new reshade and the game can look amazing

[versed night]

wtf how many are you churning out a day?

[manic sage]

Hippo grading and hippo ltx is what you need

[frigid spade]

is that fucked up?

[versed night]

ohh

maan i dont wanna change my ltx again

[manic sage]

Actuator better than before

[frigid spade]

my black levels are not that gnarly seriously

i didnt change it dude

lol

[rich sentinel]

Watchu mean, hippo.ltx are

[sick wigeon]

Yeah the hippo.ltx version is amazing

[versed night]

ok fine brb

[frigid spade]

its legit the game forcing that darkness on me in this scene

[manic sage]

I don’t mean this in a bad way or attacking you

[frigid spade]

no i know

im frustrated for myself

because i want to fix it

[manic sage]

The more reshades that are made the better. More choice is a good thing

[versed night]

how do i know if i have your latest one hippo? xD

[manic sage]

Lightroom, glamaraye, adaptive tonemapper, contrast sharpen, fgix , prod bloom.

[versed night]

eh just gonna download it again

[manic sage]

Yeah just do that

[versed night]

i have like 6 separate ones with your name on it now

[manic sage]

lol i plan on cutting that very soon my bad

[versed night]

oh damn you got all watercooled stuff

[manic sage]

You know it

[versed night]

damn. Can i dm you hippo, to talk about none gamma stuff to not flood the chat

[heady pebble]

Deactivating DoF for the PDA is a troll setting within the SSS MCM.

PDA DoF on:

[manic sage]

Yeah sure

[frigid spade]

ive never tried glam, i gotta check it out, maybe that can help me

[heady pebble]

PDA DoF off:

[manic sage]

Glam is just fake GI with some AO but it is very efficient if tweaked

[frigid spade]

can i disable the AO?

worried itll break 2d scopes

[manic sage]

AO shouldnt break it

no one has spotted anything with AO being weird on my end. Actually I am in the process of fixing one issue that I already have a fix for just not uploaded

but its fixed the AO distance in glamarye being set to 20 and below

Make very sure that your depth buffer is set up correctly. Once you play with GI reshade effects depth buffer being set up right is key

[frigid spade]

oh yeah wow glam is powerful

messing with it now

[manic sage]

Yeah its nice

dont use the sharpening part of it, its kinda bad imo

[frigid spade]

ao is broken if you use the normal ao but the fake ao works

[manic sage]

but everything else is good

[frigid spade]

ya

noticed

[manic sage]

what do you mean about normal and fake ao? you're talking about the depth buffer ao settings?

[frigid spade]

the ao shine

is real ao

and its broken with SSS update 12

but the fake ao thats called "big" ao is working

ive already confirmed with others this issue is not just me btw

[manic sage]

Weird, I left ao shine on default for me. but I have big and local AO set to 10

[frigid spade]

reshade implemented ao is breaking with 2d scopes for some reason, only when zoomed in

through the actual scope

it breaks and leaves with weird ghosted ao

prob cuz of an offset on the depth buffer being created by the 2d scope

most likely what they use to emulating the swaying of the scope

so far

[manic sage]

#╟🎑reshades message

This is from a very long time ago

showcasing 2d scopes with glamaraye

#╟🎑reshades message

[versed night]

@manic sage what's the CGIM preset?

[manic sage]

ignore it I need to delete it, its just slightly brighter nothing else

Im gonna consolidate my presets into two, RTGI and non RTGI from now on

I'll do that tonight

[frigid spade]

radiantgi is a good non rtgi alternative at least

it still does some of the work rtgi does

[manic sage]

So did you figure out why your weapons were so dark relative to the environment?

[brazen turtle]

what does "do the exe thing" mean? sorry if its a silly question

just wanna not break stuff lol

[brazen turtle]

am i just dragging these into the base anomaly folder? they dont exist already in either one it seems

Already replaced the old screen space shaders folder

[sick wigeon]

Inside the bin folder

And replace the old ones

[brazen turtle]

ahh ty, ill follow the rest of the steps now and see how it goes

uh oh

i have murdered my ground textures somehow

[sick wigeon]

Did you clear shader cache?

[brazen turtle]

i did not, this is the first time ive messed with shader stuff. Ill try that

thank you

unfortunately that just made it darker and theres white spots all over the place now. Im sure it was still an important step but it seems i did somethin wrong

[sick wigeon]

Where did you put SSS in your load order?

[brazen turtle]

I renamed the new SSS download to 190 - cuz thats what the other one was, but i haven't moved it around in MO2 at all

ah its disabled with a flag thatd do it probably

"No Valid Game Data"

[sick wigeon]

Red X? Something went wrong when you installed it

[brazen turtle]

I just replaced the original SSS folder with the new one, dragged the .exe's into the bin folder of my stalker directory, and disabled the additional shader mod that is supposedly redundant with this

i saved all the old files but

not sure which step i messed up on. I also removed the grok_dof thing

[sick wigeon]

Oh you installed it differently then I did.

I just added it as an additional mod, disabled the old SSS and loaded it like this

So it overwrites all the old shader stuff

[brazen turtle]

should i try and undo everything i did and do it that way? i was tryna follow ethan tokes explanation

[glossy pond]

@silent cairn can u re-send ur shader tweak for the new update i wanna reinstall them

[sick wigeon]

Yeah that's what I would do

[brazen turtle]

When I try and install new mod from archive it won't let me push through the new SSS folder it just has me open directories forever and the exes aren't visible to select either. Am i using the wrong button? Thank you for all the help and sorry for all the questions lol

[sick wigeon]

Make sure it's zipped.

[weary forum]

working on a new reshade once again

[brazen turtle]

that was it thanks. still putzing around to make sure things are fine but i think everything is better? It was really dark for awhile but i changed a setting or two around and things are getting better

army warehouse still has the funky rainbow ground texture but it does feel like the game is running smoother

[frigid spade]

sunset is sooo gnarly, second is same preset

feel like its better with a lil less peripheral blur, turned it down here

[brazen turtle]

that does look awesome

[autumn cape]

just installed the new screen space shaders update, and scopes seem to no longer have the tunnel vision effect and i still seem to have square shadows. not sure if i missed something anywhere

[weary forum]

:v you should tone down yellow saturation a bit with a shader like light room, or yellow defog in 'tonemap'

[sick wigeon]

You have to enable shader based 2d scopes in the SSS mcm

[frigid spade]

go in to your options and enable 2d scopes

[autumn cape]

thank you

[frigid spade]

yeah i think i need to, its the same preset so its frustrating it varies so much, its not like i have yellow up, nor do i have saturation THAT high lol

ill try that

[weary forum]

actually if I remember right you need to tone down sun rays too if it's specifically sunset

[brazen turtle]

okay i was gonna just ignore the bugged out ground in army warehouses but this is a bit much lol

id assume this is just a me doing something wrong thing, has anyone been to AW with the new shaders?

[weary forum]

looks like you had a few too many vodkas

[frigid spade]

worried to take it lower but ima try

[sick wigeon]

This is what you selected when you installed it?

[frigid spade]

i dont wanna mess up other oranges

[weary forum]

hmmm

which sunray mode are you using?

[brazen turtle]

yeah I selected everything but the last two. This ground texture bugged before I even had it properly installed im p sure

[frigid spade]

this is muuuuch lower

high sunrays with .7 and .5

really lost the fact that that couch it orange

:/

or well like brown

but still

[weary forum]

My settings are .75 and 0

[frigid spade]

its now faded red

[weary forum]

I never fiddled around with sunrays much so idk if that's gonna do anything but oh well

[frigid spade]

i may just have to live with it

it does actually matter quite a bit

[brazen turtle]

I did turn off the shaders cumulative pack before I'd gotten things properly installed idk if that could have corrupted stuff

[frigid spade]

the sun rays end up illuminating your entire zone depending

[mint owl]

Almost look sepia at this point x)

Like you're stuck in a game flashback

[frigid spade]

yeah, its bizarre cuz theres very little way around it in cordon/swamps at sunset

[sick wigeon]

I still have that on

This is what is says bottom left right?

[weary forum]

here's my current reshade btw (including different ingame settings, screen space shaders, rtgi and more reshade shenanigans)

[frigid spade]

this is that same reshade

[weary forum]

Hm? I'm talking about my own, made from scratch just today

[glossy pond]

Where’s the rtgi from

[weary forum]

rtgi shader

[glossy pond]

Nah is it the free one or the paid

[frigid spade]

like this is without reshade at all, so yellow

rtgi is a paid global ilumination reshade shader

[weary forum]

there's a free one? kekw

ohh you mean radiant gi?

[frigid spade]

theres links all over the internet of it ya

radiantgi is free though

im using that

i have rtgi but it PWNS framerate even on my 3060 ti

[weary forum]

did the same to my old 2060

[frigid spade]

i dont even think theres much that can be done if thats how it looks without reshade tbh

id have to change the tonemapper in game which would make my reshade unshareable

[glossy pond]

t6heres a free one somewhere

[frigid spade]

ya i have a free one i grabbed, technically redistribution of it is piracy but ya

ill prob pay for his thing

its cool

and its cheap, donate to patreon once, have files forever

[weary forum]

The only free ones I can think of that give at least a fast, fake alternative to rtgi would be radiant gi and I believe ssdo has a colored indirect lighting mode too

[frigid spade]

radiantgi is good

not as performance heavy too

[weary forum]

true

but who needs performance when you can have a raytraced frame of you dying to a mutated cat every few seconds :D

[brazen turtle]

mine just says this. I just checked red forest and practically the whole floor is that rainbow pixel texture lol

[sick wigeon]

You didn't install the modified exes correctly. Download the ones off github and use those

[versed night]

@sick wigeon you got any recommends on what to change up in SSS?

[versed night]

what's your fps tho

[weary forum]

around 70, sometimes drops to 50

[sick wigeon]

I'm actually messing around with the settings rn trying to figure that out.

[versed night]

I upped water and SSR to medium, both were low and very low., set both to medium to start. Lmk if you figure out nice settings, gonna gonna mess with relaunching a lot while im at work doing this over the cloud

also i read up, my main menu also shows the default gamma rc3.2

should i just get the github exes?

[frigid spade]

has anyone been able to figure out how to get reshade ao working with SSS update 12? the ao ghosting is really killing reshade for me

inside the 2d scope while adsing there is ao ghosting, offset from where it should be

[autumn cape]

is there something else i can do for square shadows? since having ticked the shadows fix and using the shader_param console command don't seem to fix it

[sick wigeon]

If SSS has been working I wouldn't bother, but I figured you needed to see that to verify you were using the new exes

[versed night]

How do i know it's actually working though

or would i crash?

[brazen turtle]

I used the stalker anomaly modded exes from here just now and nothing changed unfortuantely

[sick wigeon]

Well do you see the new DoF effect? Or does your ground look like this? #╟🎑reshades message

[brazen turtle]

I def saw the new depth of field

[sick wigeon]

What GPU do you have

[brazen turtle]

my ground just.. looks like that

3070

[versed night]

yeah dof was working, and my ground was messed up cause it's not compat with 00 anomaly seasons/ golden autumn

but i removed the season mods an it's been ok, but i had no good looking puddles cause my SSS was installed wrong. So ig it's working

[sick wigeon]

Did you clear your shader cache again after using the new exes?

[brazen turtle]

I will do it again

[frigid spade]

has no one else noticed that ao is broken if you try to add it with reshade? i saw someone else talk about it earlier but im surprised there isnt more people wondering, makes me wonder if something is wrong on my end. if you add ao with reshade, you get this weird ghosting ao effect where its offset from where it should be ever since update 12 for SSS mod. happens when adsing through scope.

[versed night]

https://i.imgur.com/nmgaELa.jpeg

[versed night]

that's been a thing before SSS update 12, for me atleast

It was just so subtle i didn't care for it

[weary forum]

Oh I was just assuming and accepting that that is a limitation of those specific ao shaders

[frigid spade]

really?? i feel like i would have noticed.

[versed night]

I only noticed it the most when using binocs

[weary forum]

applies to the rtgi ao too

[frigid spade]

i notice it glaringly, immediately

[weary forum]

any scopes that zoom have it, red dots f.e. are fine

[frigid spade]

depends on your ao settings i guess, i like mine heavy for heavy depth feeling

[brazen turtle]

still there :( this sucks lol. for sure dont have the energy to roll all of this stuff back so im gonna keep trying to fix it

[weary forum]

mhm, same here

my adaptive tonemapper is killing my eyes when there is fog

is there a fog setting in game somewhere?

[brazen turtle]

also my game says stalker anomaly when i open it now instead of gamma, on the launching splash screen. still gamma when i get in but

[weary forum]

that's normal, for me too

[sick wigeon]

That's normal

[weary forum]

since the maker of ssshaders made it for stalker anomaly in general, not specifically for stalker gamma

[brazen turtle]

gotcha

[versed night]

you could remove that in the files if you know what you're doing, no harm in leaving it though

[sick wigeon]

This is what you have SSAO set to?

[brazen turtle]

ive had it on HBAO cuz i read somewhere its best for my setup, ill try changing it

[indigo hamlet]

I enabled the agressor reshade but the option is not in reshade

[sick wigeon]

The one in MO is just textures, you have to install the reshade manually

[indigo hamlet]

Oh alright

[rich sentinel]

Shadow resolution on anomaly launcher

[autumn cape]

had just bumped that up now in fact

[indigo hamlet]

Also are hd models for npcs installed?

[brazen turtle]

hm weird, changing this definitely helped, its a lot less obvious and also seems to be in less places. I can still see it if i really look and in some areas its still pretty glaring but it def changed for the better

gonna go back to red forest and see if the ground in the forest itself is still completely that texture

okay yeah def still there, whats weird is now when i walk towards it it fades away into the normal ground texture lmao

still a good step/note that switching to SSDO helped some

oof

[autumn cape]

4k shadowmaps with extreme sun shadow quality and still getting square shadows

[naive skiff]

how do i open the reshade menu, i can't remember the bind

[weary forum]

home

[naive skiff]

thank you

[brazen turtle]

@sick wigeon one last thank you for all the tips and help, and also, I moved SSS_Update above Shaders cumulative in my load order and the weird texture is gone

[sick wigeon]

That's bizarre since I have mine loading under it. At least its working now

[manic sage]

@frigid spade

[brazen turtle]

yeah definitely odd

im just gonna not touch anything and enjoy my not pixelly ground

[brazen turtle]

other thing i did that could have been the real solution is just moving shaders cumulative and SSS_update up into the shaders folder instead of newly added addons.

[manic sage]

no issues with AO

[sick wigeon]

Nah that's just a separator to help keep the mods organized. It doesn't actually do anything

[naive skiff]

i want mine to look like this so bad

[weary forum]

is that a picture-in-picture scope? I can't tell.

[frigid spade]

idk how thats possible

[manic sage]

Looks good and stylized

[autumn cape]

specterdrs aren't picture in picture

[manic sage]

is your depth buffer set up right?

[frigid spade]

yes

[manic sage]

glamaraye settings

[weary forum]

the reason the ao bugs out scopes for us is because the ao takes the depth information from the screen outside the scope. if the scope is picture in picture (inside scope has more zoom/smaller fov) there will still be the rendered ao from the larger fov

[manic sage]

total effects on non rtgi rn

depth map

Yeah I dont have any issues

[frigid spade]

any time i use ao this happens, i dramatized it so you can see

others have this issue too

it doesnt happen without SSS

[manic sage]

That looks like depth buffer is not lined up with the actual image

No idea really though

[frigid spade]

do you have SSS update 12?

it doesnt look like it

[manic sage]

Yes

[frigid spade]

but you have dof off

[frigid spade]

so its the dof

[manic sage]

Dof is on lol

[frigid spade]

idk it wasnt in your screens above

[manic sage]

dof is on

[frigid spade]

ya i see that

idk what to say

its not like ive done some weird shit or w.e.

it broke when i installed the mod update

[manic sage]

Is it because of your SSS tweaks?

[frigid spade]

maybe i guess, all ive done is turn up the ao intensity

cant see how that would break it

[manic sage]

The SSS tweaks I have on are from Jaku

but hes had 3-4 iterations of them

each has had issues but so far this one has been good

[frigid spade]

like legit ive just turned up the intensity, unless somehow the second pass is causing it i guess

[manic sage]

Try disabling it and letting me know stock SSS install

[frigid spade]

stock SSS install broke it though

so no

it couldnt be

ill try it rn in case im remembering wrong i guess

but as i recall it broke the moment i launched

without ever touching a config

tbh i didnt even know how to edit a config yet

was trying to apply ao in reshade

when i noticed

[manic sage]

Lets see hmmm

[frigid spade]

try turning on mxao

tell me if its broken then

maybe you just arent using any ao that breaks

not all of glam ao breaks

but mxao and ssdo break

when i reverse the depth buffer in radiantgi it works

but its not correct because im reversing it lol

im wondering if maybe its because i still have a mod checked i shouldnt in mo2?

idk

[manic sage]

So even in radiant GI you get this issue?

[frigid spade]

yes

[manic sage]

Ok let me see if I mess with my settings

So just reinstalled reshade

now I have this issue that you have

let me revert back

[frigid spade]

huh

so it's a reshade issue?

[manic sage]

Not sure

[frigid spade]

makes it sound like it's a dll thing

[manic sage]

Its very subtle not nearly as strong as your example

[frigid spade]

yeah it normally is subtle

i cranked it

[manic sage]

you can barely see it

[frigid spade]

so you could see

[manic sage]

ohh ok

[frigid spade]

i run high ao though

for this preset

and its far more noticeable

i run a really fine, dense ao, for sharp dark corners in rooms

and then i use SSS ao as the main ao.

i just configure a reshade ao layer to do the shading on details and large ao is handled by SSS

and because of the density i use on reshade its like a sharp dark line through my scope

if you can give my the dll files that dont break it, id love that cuz ill just use those

[manic sage]

See the weird thing is now both instances after the reinstall and before the reinstall are broken

No idea anymore

[frigid spade]

yeah i thought that might happen

this is a cache issue then

is there some kind of cache?

maybe its literally the shader cache for anomaly?

idk that wouldnt make sense

broke all my presets though so ive had to start working on something from scratch lol

cant play without 2d scopes >_<

[rich sentinel]

Must be shader then

[zenith marsh]

https://reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/yrh54x/vulkanbased_d3d9_10_and_11_translation_layer_dxvk/

Anyone use this? DXVK is recommended by the bot for AMD cards but does it have any performance improvements with nvidia cards because of its use of Vulkan?

[rigid sapphire]

i tried to insall this reshade and it told me to delete my previous shader folder and i did and it didnt work and my game looks like shit

[native sable]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/989402420960452688/1040344899217801257/AnomalyDX11AVX_2022-11-10_07-46-12.png

Cinematic G.A.M.M.A ReShade v1. 3

[rich sentinel]

Using it right now, fixed some crashes on my end

[brazen turtle]

Was changing my graphics settings in game and it crashed and now everytime i boot i get this. which log am i supposed to be grabbing?

unchecked shaders cumulative and the game booted

[naive skiff]

had that problem, open normal anomaly and change the graphics settings back to what they were before

that could fix it

if you have amd like me you might not be able to use AA, crashes my game like that if i try to use it

[brazen turtle]

I appreciate the tip, if it starts crashing again ill use that method to access the settings

[rich sentinel]

Playing monolith though

[manic sage]

@rich sentinel this was with no reshade

still perfecting the hippo.ltx

old hippo ltx with reshade

new hippo ltx no reshade

still maintaining dark nights

reshade can be optional now

[sour oar]

Oh you mad man

I should think there’s hardly any hope left for the likes of me

[manic sage]

I was trying to ping Dyn to test something for me

wanna be the test person for me?

[sour oar]

Can’t get to my computer for another few days :(

[manic sage]

😦

well hopefully by then it will be done and you can just try it

[sour oar]

Which is why I’ve lost hope of ever catching up, if I had it before

[manic sage]

and maybe adapt it for your preset

The thing is you can use my hippo.ltx to construct a reshade from the ground up with 2-5 effects max

as reshade wont be as needed before

[silent cairn]

What were your gloss values here I'm scared

[manic sage]

lol \

[silent cairn]

Wrong way around

[manic sage]

oh shit ok ill switch them

[swift robin]

i cant seem to find the link for your reshade, am i just dumb or did you hide it temporarily

[manic sage]

hidden temporarily sorry about that

will post when its ready again

[swift robin]

alr np

[silent cairn]

I can DM it to you

[plucky pewter]

Any further updates for 'em by the way?

[silent cairn]

Quite a bit of adjustments

Some fixes

[plucky pewter]

Can you send that my way as well? They've been a treat to have

[silent cairn]

Sure!

[plucky pewter]

[silent cairn]

This time it comes with the scope shaders enabled

[plucky pewter]

I also noticed you resolved the double barrel issue

[silent cairn]

I did, it removed the jank from all the weapons that had this issue I'm pretty sure

[plucky pewter]

I am now learned in the ways of "don't be an idiot and check the options next time."

Really it's just that that variable doesn't get reset that screwed with me, no biggie

[glossy pond]

Thank you

If u could that’d be great

[manic sage]

@silent cairn are you up for some testing?

[atomic hollow]

I am :))

[silent cairn]

I don't have much time before I gotta leave for the weekend but sure

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[manic sage]

This below reshade is work in progress

effects are not organized and so on

[atomic hollow]

ill try with this, without reshade, and with my personal one

[manic sage]

Ltx is not clean btw

[atomic hollow]

hmm

[manic sage]

will have unnecessary shit in it

[atomic hollow]

i can prolly edit

[manic sage]

clean version

[atomic hollow]

tyty

[manic sage]

The only thing I can see being an issue is the color grading, but the color police will help me here

[silent cairn]

This one is only with 4 effects right?

[manic sage]

Yeah

so far atleast

but reshade looks to be optional in this version as the image is not washed out with this ltx

like before

[silent cairn]

Well the magenta is completely eliminated

Might be a tiny bit too much on the yellow and green side now, like very slightly

[manic sage]

Ok ok that should be easy to fix

How’s the image quality

Compared to the old ltx and so on

[silent cairn]

The grading itself is better than the old one in that sense yeah

[manic sage]

Cool

Thank you

Is the image comparable to the old ltx plus the old reshade

With only the new ltx

[silent cairn]

You do lose the bloom from the old reshade

And the colors are quite different from the old hippo.ltx

[manic sage]

Oh yeah the reshade is work in progress for it

Which is why its the way it is right now

What’s the biggest change on colors?

Besides being a bit on the green side

[silent cairn]

I need to check

if it's the lack of blue or both red and blue

[manic sage]

ok let me play around with it

this is the old hippo.ltx

New

both no reshade though

[sour oar]

Phone gang, rejoice, brothers. We see no difference!

Probably because I am at the lowest brightness setting

[manic sage]

lmao

[sour oar]

Gotta hold the phone as far away as I can first

the light is suffocating.

I see now the difference. It looks good

Your new one makes the colours pop more I think

[manic sage]

old hippo ltx

New

old

new

[sour oar]

Had to turn the brightness up again, but I think my point still stands. Everything looks a little more vibrant, plus the light gives off a brighter aura too

[silent cairn]

shader_param_2 (0.001600, 0.010500, 0.005000, 0.018200)

[manic sage]

Agreed on that

[manic sage]

Literally just did this 5 seconds ago

[silent cairn]

oh

[manic sage]

you like it ?

[silent cairn]

Wait, those exact values?

[manic sage]

oh wait

nvm

[manic sage]

The one thing that was different is the second value

but I can run this if you think its ok

only affects the colors and not much else on the image

I have wiggle room on the colors but any change to param_3 breaks the god rays now

and makes them slightly blue

living color grading on the edge

[silent cairn]

Yeah give those values a good test

[manic sage]

can confirm your changes dont break the god rays

[manic sage]

they dont break anything on my end so if you think thats good then I'm cool with it

[silent cairn]

I tested it for like 6 mins

in cordon

[manic sage]

making a dummy monolith save to test out the colors in the palace

proposed changes

[echo hawk]

Yo speaking of, my godrays are blue... It happened when I changed my color grading preset from warm to default. How do I fix the blue?

[manic sage]

old changes

[versed night]

what would cause me to not be able to click in my reshade menu?

[manic sage]

your values @silent cairn but the third value is set to .003 instead of .005

ok cool I'll go with your changes

[silent cairn]

This is gonna be the fanciest concrete grading

[manic sage]

if you end up finding some new values when you play with it later lmk I can change it easily

[silent cairn]

Alrighty

[manic sage]

old hippo.ltx

new

new and if third value set to .003

[silent cairn]

Btw if you post both screenshots in one message you can switch between them with arrow keys

[manic sage]

third value set to .0035

[versed night]

update when

[manic sage]

mmmmm still messing around

[heavy cypress]

can someone tell me how to reset the reshades to default like it was when i first installed gamma?

i messed with the settings too much and i couldnt find an option to reset it

not settings but reshades

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[sour oar]

When can we get that pinned

[heavy cypress]

were these settings always set to 0?

[lost grove]

how do I use reshade with gamma

[versed night]

Anyone got any clue why this happens? Happened after i got the new SSS update.

[versed night]

I'm sorry but before i even attempt to answer this question, you should read pins, at the least

[lost grove]

sorry I was unaware of the message that was pinned to this channel

[versed night]

It's just general to check pins. There's tons of stuff in each channel pinned, related to a lot of commonly asked stuff.

[dapper pumice]

Those ltx values seem good to my undiscerning eye so far testing with my own reshade

[mint owl]

I guess there's no need to wish for a nuclear winter when you can be patrolling in the Mojave

[turbid wave]

This is probably the dumbest question ever posted in this chat, but is the reshade program from reshade.me required to get any of the reshades to work properly?

[sick wigeon]

Most presets will come with everything you need when you download it.

[dapper pumice]

Hahah

[versed night]

@sick wigeon you mess with the dof while reloading at all? None of the MCM settings change it so i assume i have to do manually changes in the ini? I wanna reduce the strength of the dof while reloading a bit

[sick wigeon]

Nah I haven't touched those settings. The effect looks cool, but it's really only good for screenshots IMO

[versed night]

Yeah, hence why i wanna tone it down, i like the concept, when you're reloading, you're gonna lose a bit of focus around you, but it's too much you literally see NOTHING.

i'm a very immersive player

[sick wigeon]

Yeah I agree. I would prob like it more if it was toned down a little bit.

[versed night]

and im trying to fine tune a lot of stuff before a true iron man 1 life run

[versed night]

Soon™️

[sick wigeon]

Well better late than never

[versed night]

time to carry around a cheap weapon to constantly reload to see grav anomalies super easy

[celest pasture]

why does my game look like this? just did a full reinstall and redid all my mods and its done this...

[versed night]

what's wrong with it? Just looks like the foggy weather with no reshade on

[celest pasture]

... except i had most of the reshades on

[versed night]

what preset are you using?

[celest pasture]

i think i had the autumn reshade but now that i think about it i know the issue nvm'

this is what is was supposed to look like

[heavy cypress]

this isnt normal is it? how bright it is

[mint owl]

Agressor ?

[celest pasture]

same issue i was having

[turbid wave]

I still have issues with this game's default brightness even with reshades. It seems like in-game sunny days from 8am-12pm are too dark. Any cloudy or rainy days are way too dark regardless of time of day.

Cranking gamma helps

Messing with brightness works, but it eventually breaks as the brightness slider will refuse to do anything after reloading the game

and messing with brightness or exposure with the reshade itself ends up over exposing the image

There's also a console command "r2_sun_lumscale_hemi" set at a default of 0.65 which seems way too low at default. If you set it to 1.4-1.6, it fixes the brightness issues. Problem is, the command reverts back to the default 0.65 after a few seconds for some reason

[heavy cypress]

what i did to help it even if its not a lot, was the bloom mix in the reshade setting

[celest pasture]

delete your shader cache in appdata it fixed it for me

[lost grove]

how do i use a reshade with rtgi

[frigid spade]

much yellow

[neat aspen]

do you guys know which preset is this one? i found it on reshade forum when searching anomaly keyword

but the author of those picture didnt mention anything about it aside posting those images

[celest pasture]

this one is really good

[glossy pond]

Those are some sick textures too

[hallow brook]

looks from a movie lol

[neat aspen]

here is the source of those pics

i just cant figure out which preset he using tho

[sand rock]

What does reshade performance mode do? And how do i tell which one is currently active?

[silent cairn]

I think they are using some variation of the absolute nature mod

[fiery vapor]

everything is dark after applying SSS any ideas

[normal gale]

anyone know how to get rid of glossy hands ?

[hard fulcrum]

what's you're reshade settings m8

[autumn cape]

anyone notice it being a bit blue on my hands? not sure if that's intended

bit more noticeable

[rich sentinel]

Could be too much contrast

[autumn cape]

perhaps

i'm on default contrast settings within the reshade, though

after a fresh reinstall having tested some things

[turbid wave]

Found a bug with r2_sun_lumscale_amb and r2_sun_lumscale_hemi commands/settings in the user.ltx which really makes the game too dark. For whatever reason, if you try to increase these settings via in-game console commands or by editing the user.ltx file directly, they will always revert back to much lower values darkening the game overall. Any idea how to prevent this from happening?

[late tiger]

your black-levels look kinda fucky, but could just be the scene itself making it look that way

[autumn cape]

being inexperienced with reshades, not sure what setting i could be able to adjust

Disable dynamic tonemap in mod settings

Or try the default values

[glossy pond]

my weapon dof from new sss seems to work the first time i ads w a weapon and then immediately sto

stop

any ideas why?

assuming modded exe works bc this is here

[turbid wave]

Thankyou so much for this. It works

[frigid spade]

how do people get their guns to be so reflective? im trying all the SSR settings without luck

[glossy pond]

how can i turn down dof from the new sss

[frigid spade]

in mcm

[glossy pond]

doesnt seem to work

[frigid spade]

i dont get it, no matter what i do i cant get my gun to be more reflective like some of these screen shots

people are getting their guns to catch light so effectively and its a mystery to me

[normal gale]

same here . been searching for answers for hours lol

[frigid spade]

i think my issue has been volumetric rays tbh

[normal gale]

being on or off ?

[manic sage]

You can have reflective guns even with volumetric

[hard fulcrum]

thanks but how do you dl it

[manic sage]

Not up yet, almost done updating it

[hard fulcrum]

ok thanks

thanks for the hardwork m8

[manic sage]

Anytime

[frigid spade]

i wasnt talking about the reflective guns, i meant the yellow and i was right

my volumetric rays were so high it made everything yellow no matter what i did

fixed sunsets to look at least normal, still yellow but not peed on lol

i wish asci included a notation about how high those value can go on intensity etc

ive had to reload like 50 times testing it

and it was resulting in me being forced to make my gun super dark in order to counter act the insane light from the volumetric rays

neither of those pictures are anywhere close to the level of rays i had, it was like the entire map covered in it

both those pics look like just screen space rays tbh

not saying volumetric isnt on, but they just arent hitting heavy

feel like this is much better than it was before

this is what the rays were doing

they are still on in the top pic, but ya, they were too high

[glossy pond]

wait what did u change

[frigid spade]

most recent edit, i turned main to 2 and base to .1 on volumetric rays, high setting

basically solved all my issues

[swift robin]

anyone know how Can i have green grass instead of the yellow one

?

[frigid spade]

still imperfect, some stuff is just gonna be dark with this preset until someone teaches me how to do otherwise

i notice some people manage to get some very intense reflection on their weps and i'd like to emulate that but so far ssr settings arent cutting it

im running ultra quality and i've tried up to 10 intensity and it seems capped

thats the most i can get

any tips are welcome

this time of day varies so wildly, sunset in certain zones can be insane to try and balance in reshade

this one is with sun rays down one more tick, feel its better, less washed out, hard to counteract in game colored effects that aren't mixed well like the volumetric rays and not mess up everything else. gotta keep the "base" setting really low it seems

(different time than the first pick way above, thats why color is diff)

[dusky swallow]

Hi guys, i have recently upgraded my pc (6900 xt amd) what shader settings should i use?

[full crown]

#╭📖faq message
Suggested texture pack
#custom-textures message

[rich sentinel]

Don't really need reshade with hippo settings

[vague island]

Thats what I kept thinking as well

Since the adaptive tone mapper makes everything too bright sometimes during certain weathers

[manic sage]

Does the blue on the outside of the god rays bother you with that version?

Because im working on another version now that doesn’t have that issue but it requires 5 effects on the reshade

If it doesn’t bother you guys i can still work on the blue God rays version

Or blue/orange — mostly orange

Just let me know

[rich sentinel]

The usage of reshade was only for fixing some shadows, contrast or getting more colours

[rich sentinel]

I don't even see it tbh

These 2 are screens with reshade, the changes are so small that the FPS loss isn't worth it

[manic sage]

Make a dummy freedom save at army warehouse and you’ll down near those two windows change the weather while there to see how the godrays look

Let me know what you find

@rich sentinel

Because when i do it i see a tiny bit of blue around the orange/white/yellow God rays

[rich sentinel]

This is no reshade too

[frigid spade]

Ohhh you mean the

My b

[rich sentinel]

@manic sage Check DM

[lavish relic]

Well its unbelievable work what you are doing Hippo!

[manic sage]

Thank you

I’m starting from scratch. I’m deleting the older presets and will be only two presets from now on

One with reshade and one without/light reshade

The one without/light has that slight god rays issue that i think is impossible to get around unless i change something with EShaders within the files

[frigid spade]

@manic sage out of curiosity, were you able to get update 12 sss mod to compile properly without compiling sss mod, crashing, compiling shader cumulative, loading properly, exiting, selecting sss mod update and launching from there? only way i can get update 12 to work and i think its messing with my reflections based on the error log i placed above.

seems reflections from cumulative are in the shader cache not reflections from recent sss mod update

like, its using the config, but its not compiled correctly i guess.

i just cannot figure out how to get the shaders to compile as normal, by just loading most recent sssmod version from the go

so its compiling some old shit first

decided to go with green grass for this reshade though and honestly alowed me much more freedom

[quiet sluice]

Any reshade that you guys can recommend me using a 1660ti/16ggRam/i5 10400 on win 11? (looking for something that looks more alive, cinematic or tarkovish but for some reason agressor lags the sh*t out of my game)

[frigid spade]

like this one better, lil more contrast

[frigid spade]

could always try making your own or editing an existing one

look in reshade list for radientgi, ambient light, rtgi, ssdo, mxao, gloomao, disable those if you are lagging.

[frigid spade]

^these 2 have more changes, am tryharding today

[full crown]

I hope you don't mind me pinging @versed night I recently found out about SSRTGI but the shader itself doesn't exist for me when using nvidias freestyle filters. There are just the usual "fun" filters. Did they somehow restrict it?

[versed night]

You have to rename the exe to a game that allows it. I used eurotrucks2.exe I believe. I can check in about 15 mins here.

Just note, it eats frames, it's more eye candy than anything.

[full crown]

Well, I did rename it to anselintegrationtestapp.exe to make it work in the first place. Otherwise I wouldnt have the option to add filters

And that's the problem. Apparently anselintegrationtestapp doesn't include the newest filters.

Thanks Shyzle, it works with eurotrucks2

[versed night]

Yeah it's game dependant, and the way the anoamly exe works is it doesn't care that the name is

And nvidia only checks for the name lmao

[full crown]

Yeah. I don't really understand why they restrict it anyways. I mean it's supposed to be experimental.
Low setting just takes about 5-10 fps. But higher ones are 20-30. But anything more than low introduces a weird delayed shadow so it's only good for still frames.

[brazen arrow]

How’d you get this to work i still cant get mine to show dof. I have it updated installed and deleted shaders cache. Load in game no change?

[glossy pond]

u have to delete some script file

go to gamma ui in mo2, open in explorer, go to scripts, delete the grok ui dof thing

back it up just in case

[brazen arrow]

Why is this a thing lol so many loop holes

[glossy pond]

bc its not officially implemented by gamma so

when it is, im sure it will be as simple as just updating

[frigid spade]

how did you guys get your sss mod to compile correctly on launch? i had to do a bs trick to make it work that made it so im using some old files from cumulative shader pack

[turbid wave]

Dunno if this answers your question, but I selected "install a new mod from an archive" on ModOrganizer, selected the SSS zip file, checked all the boxes on the popup except the last 2, then clicked ok. Then I copied over/replaced all the .exes from the .exe github download. The github download also had some various files for the bin, db, and gamedata folders that I copied over as well to their respective locations

[glossy pond]

reinstall it and put it under shader cumulative pack in load order

should work fine

[twilit sparrow]

I turned off cumulative shader and it just kinda works, I did try to delete the files that conflicted with sss on cumul and it couldn't compile

[frigid spade]

yeah but it just completely overwrites cumulative

and still crashes i think

but okay lemme try

[glossy pond]

no

bc thats how ur supposed to install it

[frigid spade]

kk lemme try

[frigid spade]

i basically have the same result by doing it the long way lmfao

i launched gamma, crashed, launched anomaly, loaded, launched gamma, works, cuz it built the cache properly that way

er actualy last time i did launched gamma, crashed, launched gamma w/ cumulative instead of sss update 12, loaded, exit, launch gamma w/ sss mod

lmfao

straight autism right there bois

[normal gale]

Did you manage to get this weather mod to work? I couldn't for the life of me with default gamma and removing the recommended gamma mod etc.

[glossy pond]

wouldnt it be easier to just have it here

[storm nimbus]

When using the updated SSS for sun rays mode do you guys use Volumetric or Screen Space or Both?

[sour oar]

Volumetric

Personally

[sick wigeon]

I also use volumetric

[glossy pond]

most ppl use volumetric

[storm nimbus]

and what gloss facture setting do you guys like to use?

[glossy pond]

factor .001 and min .5

[storm nimbus]

The default

[rich sentinel]

Been tweaking with a filmic/tarkov style

So many guys ask for it, every focking day

And yes the skies will be super bright like that, can't have the best of both worlds

[normal gale]

Hey mate. Any advice how you got this to work with gamma ( beyond removing gamma weather etc )?

[manic sage]

It’s a better aggressor preset

Very aggressor like but not bad, it’s good

[celest elm]

been playing without reshades, what r some of yalls favs

it does

ive done it like 500 times

lol

[rich sentinel]

Tried without AVX?

[manic sage]

Reinstalled gamma?

[frigid spade]

maybe someone can give me their shaders cumulative pack files? something is maybe wrong? im not using avx

it broke when i reinstalled gamma

buuuut

[manic sage]

Hmmmm

[frigid spade]

yeah

thats why i want the cumulative pack files

i can't easily pull just those, dont wanna have to do the whole install, but will if i have to

[rich sentinel]

Already sent to you

Chill

[frigid spade]

i do have a work around at least, but it makes me unable to edit the ini's

im chill, sorry if its coming across like im not lol

ty

failed :/

makes no sense at all

[rich sentinel]

Did you replace the entire folder?

[frigid spade]

yes

deleted it entirelly

reinstalled the whole thing

[rich sentinel]

Only way I could think is deleting your settings

For testing

[frigid spade]

could it be that i am running 1440p with dlss resolution?

doubt

[normal gale]

I did a resintall and dof was causing the compile thing for me. I havent got around to figuring it out yet.
Have you tried that?

[frigid spade]

for all intents and purposes its the same and i think i tested this already

[frigid spade]

what are you asking me? tried what? reinstall? yes

:/

its a big bummer, i just cannot figure out why im like the only one having this issue, good to hear someone else is so i dont feel insane

[normal gale]

No im asking if you have tried disabling dof with your reinstall to see if it complies. Sorry i woke up haha

[frigid spade]

oh no

lemme try

[normal gale]

When i did the reinstal i noticed it updated to 12 with the download. So i started reading into it. And i got as far as the exes. But disabling dof did get it to complie atleast.

[frigid spade]

the error is

so its not dof

its reflections, hmodel, pbr brdf, and common_functions

and i can make it work by compiling just those files from cumulative

and then compiling sss mod after

but i just dont know if thats how its supposed to be

if i launch with sss mod, crash, launch with cumulative, load correct, then launch with sssmod only again, it works

[magic tundra]

unexpected token ',' implies a typo somewhere in a ini file or something

[frigid spade]

yeah

but i dont know that script

i posted the error to ascii but he hasnt replied

[glossy pond]

@sick wigeon did u take weapons out of efp

if so how did u do it can u dm me

lowering dof in mcm doesnt seem to do anything hm

[frigid spade]

did you only lower aiming? also i dont think you can get rid of reload and pda

[frigid spade]

from what i understand

[glossy pond]

thats what it looks like

i wanna kno how tho

[frigid spade]

i read him say that you cant rn

[glossy pond]

id try but i dont wanna fuck stuff up

oh

[frigid spade]

hes adding it next update

and full mcm shader customization

which is fucking awesome ngl

live ao, reflection, dof editing

gimme

[sick wigeon]

Yeah but it would need a lot of work to work with GAMMA so I kinda gave up for the most part. Grok also asked me not to post/share it if I did end up doing it

[glossy pond]

ah ok

[sick wigeon]

#1035807043933720576 has a bunch of gun mods you can add that work with GAMMA, including the new BaS patch

[frigid spade]

i guess ima just do my trick and live with it for, seems like my helpers are out of advice haha. just think its partially broken or missing features

surprised others ever got it to work without doing what i have to

[glossy pond]

Where did u even get the files from

I can send u my copy if yw

[frigid spade]

moddb

[glossy pond]

If I can find it

[frigid spade]

moddb and shader cumulative is from gamma modpack installer

sure i suppose

i doubt anything is wrong with it

i tried someone elses shader cumulative just now

didnt work

ya my lil trick works though, im back in. if you ever delete your shader cache you may have to do this too

search my name in discord i guess lmao, if it happens.

[plucky pewter]

With Revised, I installed the base + dynamic weather parameters and it worked out of the box. I left the skies on and it looked fine

[mint owl]

Well, there's a reason why Grok didn't update it yet, if it breaks stuff he's definitely going to hold back on it until it's fixed in one way or another, trying to force update manually usually leads to issues unless you get the required knowledge

[frigid spade]

at minimum they could be merged and released as a new cumulative pack, thats basically what i've done to make it work

[mint owl]

But with a compilation issue

Which Grok would probably want to avoid

[frigid spade]

there would be no compilation issue if the two halves of the files were just merged.

i make game pretty

[twilit sparrow]

Imma need a copy of that reshade to mess with senor

[frigid spade]

those second 2 go in C:\STALKER INSTALL\mods\ScreenSpaceShaders_Update\gamedata\shaders\r3

[twilit sparrow]

Thanks

[clever copper]

should agressor reshade be enabled i dont remember turning it on or off

[normal gale]

did you manage to get around your compile issue mate ? i just got mine working . was a bit of a muck around and basicly had to disable the sss part of the cumulative (just deleting the screenspace settings from it , left everything else ) and loaded the new sss after cumulative , with the new exe for the dof ... also had to disable grok dof ui script . but now i have the new sss , the dof , no compile issue and my gun reflections are back .

[frigid spade]

i'm effectively doing the same thing, i launch sss mod first, which compiles as much as it can but then crashes(still fills appdata somewhat), then launch with only cumulative, which fills it the rest of the way, then exit the game, disabled cumulative, enabled sss mod only and launched and it worked with a full compile.

just did it without moving/editing files

[normal gale]

oh i also had to reset graphic settings and user itx or whatever it is (basicly just copied everything from the gamma patches folder to anomaly) .. it wouldnt load without doing that

even on a fresh install of the whole gamma thing .. those 2 steps allowed me to launch

[turbid wave]

So you deleted setting_screenspace_SSS.h in the cumulative pack folder?

[frigid spade]

i dont even have cumulative enabled in mo2

just launched in a certain cycle and it works

you just need to partially compile with each one

then only load sss mod and itll work

start with sss mod, then cumulative, then back to sss mod

[normal gale]

nah i dont have the option to.. something about old mo install .. so i went into the gamma/gamedata/shaders folder.. searched screenspace.. deleted those files .and it worked . i just backed them up into a seperate folder to replace

[frigid spade]

these are the files that dont wanna compile if you just use sss mod

but you can use screenspace_reflections config file from sss, just not the effect file itself

the settings_screenspace_ssr works

to be clear brodite, you are using the shader cumulative pack screenspace_reflections file right?

cuz thats the only one i was able to compile

[normal gale]

i did notice that the gamma install of sss... doesnt install all of the modules.. so i had to reinstall that and install of them to make up for the gaps from disabling the cumulative

[turbid wave]

WHen you mean shaders folder, do you mean the mod 190 folder right?

[normal gale]

no the cumulative one

[normal gale]

no . i deleted that and use the one from sss 12.1

[frigid spade]

huh, surprised that worked...

okay ima try your way then

[normal gale]

there is like 3 sets of 5 files i think it is .. all saying screenspace in the gamma shaders r3 folder . 5 are settings.. the others are just referencing it .. so i moved them out

[frigid spade]

because im def only getting the old reflections

[normal gale]

nah ive got all the nice ones.. and i had crap gun reflections prior.. but now ive got nice ones

these are the exact ones i removed from the folder

[frigid spade]

yeah i feel like my gun reflections arent as good as others

really want that ima try

[turbid wave]

COol. Just removed those. Gonna try and launch and see what happens

[normal gale]

and this is the gamma /cumulative/gamedate/shaders/r3 folder

[frigid spade]

so you removed these from cumulative and put sss mod ones in there?

and you are only loading cumulative or?

but with the sss mod files?

[normal gale]

nah i just reinstalled the 190 sss mod after i did this selecting all the modules but the bottom 2 , installed the custom exe manually, dropped it below the shaders cumulative pack in the mod order so everything else from cumulative runs , removed grok_dof_with_UI.script from the gamma ui mod folder because it stops the DOF after one sighting , reset graphics settings and user itx and deleted shader cache. .. loaded the cfg_load grading_warm ( this is from the cumulative mod ) because my screen was black , and shes running smooth

[frigid spade]

im confused still

[normal gale]

which part . i can screen shot if you want

[frigid spade]

i just dont understand which files are being replaced with which files

i see the names

but both folers containt the same named files

are you JUST deleting files from cumulative folder?

not moving and files?

[normal gale]

correct

[frigid spade]

okay

[normal gale]

i tried a bunch of different methods this one was the only one that worked.. over writing files and different load order either resulted in black screen i couldnt remove.. or compile error

[frigid spade]

and you are running both cumulative and sss mod in mo2?

[normal gale]

correct

minus those files i screenshot

[frigid spade]

kk

[normal gale]

190 has to be below cumulative though for some reason

in the load order

[frigid spade]

yeah that makes sense

cuz that makes it priority

its backwards imo

but ya

[normal gale]

yeah it confused me at first

[frigid spade]

when you right click and click info in mo2

[normal gale]

because gamma install does it the opposite

[frigid spade]

it shows whats being overwritten

[normal gale]

yep

[frigid spade]

and what is winning conflicts

ya

and then you had to open console and type cfg_load grading_warm?

[normal gale]

correct because my screen was black

[frigid spade]

did it not compile without deleting user.itx?

[normal gale]

mine didnt no .. so i did reset graphics .. user and shader.. then loaded cfg

[frigid spade]

can you delete user.itx or do you have to reset it?

and how do you reset graphics, i know where user.itx is but

[normal gale]

so what i did is go into the gamma patches folder.. there is 3 folders.. copied them and dropped them into the atomaly folder.. it contains the user itx

its left of delete shader cache in the launcher

[frigid spade]

kk

i remember that now

[normal gale]

anomaly*

[frigid spade]

failed to compile

[normal gale]

did you reinstall screenspace ?

[frigid spade]

:/

yes

[normal gale]

was this a fresh install of anomaly ?

[frigid spade]

?? yes?

i havent done anything to anomaly

its always been fresh

[normal gale]

okay . so these modules .. plus the exe for 1.52 in the bin folder ?

this is my filetree for cumulative folder . minus the files i mentioned

[frigid spade]

you didnt select manual install exes??

is that my issue?

[normal gale]

no

[frigid spade]

i thought i needed to

[normal gale]

you have to do it manually

[frigid spade]

i am doing it manually

i am replacing the exe's

but

[normal gale]

yeah i didnt check that

i tested it without the exe and no dof .. and then dropped the exe in without checking that and it worked

[turbid wave]

OK I think it's working but not sure how to tell. Thanks guys

[normal gale]

logic would have you that you should check that box .. but no idea lol

[normal gale]

debug and make it rain with the play button .. wait for puddles and reflections lol

im impatient so i fast traveled too

[turbid wave]

It's raining. I see tons of puddles and reflections

[frigid spade]

it worked

[normal gale]

well looks like its working

[turbid wave]

in rookie town or whatever

[frigid spade]

youre a legend nice thinking

[normal gale]

yeah i tested it there too

and rostok for cement puddles etc

[normal gale]

no worries man .

only took me 6 hours haha

[turbid wave]

Yea, think I can really see reflections now

[normal gale]

yeah the gun reflections are nicee i havent even increased the quality

mine were crap before .. just glossy and bright

id advise creating a backup in m02 if your going to add anything on top too

[frigid spade]

wow it worked

perfectly

gun looks so good

[normal gale]

yeah now it looks like the screenshots people post

lol

next step .. texture and weather mods lol

[normal gale]

i went to great swamp in the rain and the gun literally had like reflections on it .. was wild

[frigid spade]

proper reflections on gun finallly

this is the old one

you can see the dif

still looks nice but its not catching the sun the same

scope is leaving a really nice shadow now

[normal gale]

nah it had no shine .. mine was the same. and if you looked at a light source it was too bright

[frigid spade]

yeah

[normal gale]

and the shadows were all blotchy

[frigid spade]

time to bump up those numbers in the ini

[normal gale]

haha let me know how you go .

i gotta find a weather mod that works well .

[frigid spade]

so hyped on this

been like 3 days ive been trying

tytyty

i shoulda thought of this

its simple now that i think about it

shoulda at least attempted

[normal gale]

No worries man. Ive been watching what you with yours do so ill prob end up asking you for advise at some point haha

[frigid spade]

i got it to compile but was forced to use the old reflections, had dof though

[turbid wave]

How does this look?

[sick wigeon]

Just an fyi most weather mods break the stealth mod so you have to be careful

[normal gale]

Does disabling stealth knock out the ai doesnt shoot from behind bushes ? I havent looked at that stuff yet. I dont really play stealth though

[swift robin]

can yu tell how can i have yur preset pls : )

[sick wigeon]

They are 2 different mods

[normal gale]

You got alot shine on your hands. Are you using ssao in the options ?

[manic sage]

the highlights are too strong

[turbid wave]

Yes, SSDO

I turned off the dynamic tone mapper

made the game too dark

[normal gale]

Yeah your highlights are way overpowered for some reason
