╟🎑reshades

[normal gale]

Sweet. Well im not to fussed on losing stealth. Unless its a prerequisite for any other systems in gamma

[turbid wave]

THis is my game with the tone mapper on at 8am

[normal gale]

I can still see those lines on your gun.
Did you delete shader cache and all that? ( ive not seen the issue before so im spitballing lol )

[turbid wave]

yup

[normal gale]

Ill have a muck around and see if i can try and replicate that.
Something seems off

[turbid wave]

How about now?

[normal gale]

That looks better

[native sable]

Cinematic G.A.M.M.A. ReShade v1.3: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cinematic-g-a-m-m-a-reshade-v1-3

[normal gale]

What did you change

[turbid wave]

just re-deleted shaders

[normal gale]

Okay yeah . Try in day time wet. See what you get

[frigid spade]

huh... i changed some settings are its failing to compile..

[turbid wave]

This is with lum_hemi or whatever set to about 1.3

Trying to mimic hippo's user.ltx

[normal gale]

What did you change?

[frigid spade]

bunch of ao and ssr stuff

just the configs

have to clear shader cache to make them take effect

and it wouldnt recompile

[normal gale]

Yeah i had the same issue. I pretty much clear shader cache every time 😂 its habit now

[frigid spade]

every time i modify the files i have to do the entire install process

LOL

thats sooo gnarly

[normal gale]

Oh really? Thankfully ive only had to do shader cache. Not the rest of it. Ive only had to do the user itx thing twice when tweaking.

[frigid spade]

its not launching for me now so im doing it all over again

[normal gale]

I havent edit those files yet so not sure whats happening sorry mate.

[frigid spade]

lmao i tanked my fps so hard trying out ultra quality ssr, have 3060 ti

it compiled for legit like 7 minutes

[silent cairn]

Ssr hits frames so hard, I'd keep it at low or lowest

[normal gale]

maybe thats what was causing your issues ? trying to brute force its way through compile haha

[frigid spade]

jaku you may know this, what do i change to fix this see the line on the tree where its dark and then bright? i think its the ssr. when i move the camera, portions of it cut out in a line

its like a hard divider on an effect, definitely something in sss mod

[normal gale]

im loving that sss is working now ..

[frigid spade]

theres just this massive line that cuts the effect off as i move my mouse around

its clearly like a distance issue or an angle issue or something

cant figure out what to change

[normal gale]

have you turned off volumetric sunrays ? they mess with stuff for me .

especially with a reshade

[frigid spade]

they are on but i turned them way down cuz of that as well

i dont think its that but maybe lemme check

[normal gale]

yeah when i was running majestic the first time . i ran their reshade too and i had to get rid of volumetric for stuff like this

[frigid spade]

see the line where the effect is ending? happens as i move. didnt change anything turning off volumetric rays

on the left hand tree infront of me

[turbid wave]

Still can't nail down what's causing my shiny hands bug. Sometimes it loads in fine. Sometimes it loads in with shiny hands

[normal gale]

like your original image ? i mean i have glossy hands.. someone was telling me its something to do with pbr but nothing like your original photo

[normal gale]

could it be tonemap ?

[silent cairn]

Lvutners shadow corner fix mod alleviates this I think, make sure it is not overwritten by other shader mods

[normal gale]

could be the shadow.h in sss

[silent cairn]

SSS breaks it if you load it after

[normal gale]

that would be what it is . mines showing sss wins conflict over it

[frigid spade]

okay ill try that

i have this feeling maybe not but we'll see

cuz isnt that for room corners?

like for ao?

this seems like its ssr, but hang on

lemme see

[silent cairn]

Oh I finally realized what you initially meant

[frigid spade]

still happening

i feel like its like...

idk

angle?

for ssr?

but i cant change that can i?

[silent cairn]

Did you change ssr settings?

[frigid spade]

what is vertical screenfade

it seems like its that

only quality setting

i have it on high rn and its still happening

quality i mean

[silent cairn]

Ssr only affects reflections

As the name implies

[frigid spade]

well this happens with reshade ssr

almost the same exact thing

this strange curved line on the outskirts of your screen becomes cut off

the effect has a hard line stop and it does it to everything

if reshade ssr is configured wrong

[silent cairn]

It's in the outskirts because it has no screen data to reflect when you tilt your viewing angle

[frigid spade]

its happening to everything below my gun

[silent cairn]

Gun is in the way

[frigid spade]

i understand but this is just part of sss mod

cant be like this on purpose

[silent cairn]

It's screen space

If you fix it let me know

[frigid spade]

so everyone just has a fat dividing line on their screen all the time? yeah ill look in to it

do you have this issue?

[silent cairn]

Can't say I remember having it that bad

[frigid spade]

happening on all ssr settings :/

maybe its ao second pass

[normal gale]

im not getting your issue but i noticed shadow changes for the better using this r2_sun_depth_far_scale" from "1" to "0.99910

i had like a ring around me affecting shadows in the distance prior to this

[frigid spade]

its not happening to close stuff

thats what im talking about

its exactly what you just said basically

so type that in console?

its a ring around me messing with distant shadows

[normal gale]

yeah i also changed.. umm

[frigid spade]

1.1 fixed it

[normal gale]

sun_near_border .. i bumped mine up to 1 ..

i had the same ring . it was quite defined but i was in a field so it wasnt doing trees

lol i tried your 1.1 .. and i got a shadow ring around me

lol

[frigid spade]

oh that disabled reflections

anything beyond that point

disables

i thought it was adding at first

theres near and far

[normal gale]

yeah ive only touched far

going lower to 999 etc seems to extend it for me

[frigid spade]

wait i wonder

if this is what the shadow cascades exe is for

that experimental shadow cascades exe

it def is

im grabbing that

[normal gale]

wheres that

[frigid spade]

have to reinstall mod

its packed in sss mod

dif exe

check experimental

at the bottom

[normal gale]

in experimental ?

[frigid spade]

when you reinstall in mo2

its at the bottom

then check the folder for sss mod

3x exe will be in bin folder

its an archive

have to extract

it worked

issue is completely gone cant even see where shadows end

[normal gale]

okay awesome ill do that one too .

any fps hit ?

[frigid spade]

nope

[sick wigeon]

When you did that, did you check the box when installing or did you just drag the new exes into the bin folder?

[frigid spade]

checked box

[normal gale]

does dof still work doing it that way ?

[frigid spade]

yep

[frigid spade]

if there was a way to forcibly reverse the depth map it would enable ao

im using this effect that has depth map reverse on it and it fixes the ao issue

but the effect doesnt have ao

its gi

[turbid wave]

So I think I fixed my glossy hands problem with the new SSS. Just ended up disabling the ASCII old SSS 190 completely

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[silent cairn]

Did you by chance disable shaders cumulative as well?

[turbid wave]

nO

and my glossy hands problem is back

after a reload

[normal gale]

Oh yeah i forgot to mention that haha . see i did a clean install and it automatically installed the new sss ... which meant my game wouldnt run .

how bad is the glossy hands ?

[turbid wave]

Not that bad actually

[frigid spade]

how high does the ao in sss mod go? what value?

[normal gale]

i have glossy hands too .. there is a portion of gloss that comes with gamma i think ..

[normal gale]

you were trying to fix glossy hands with your tweaks wernt you ?

[turbid wave]

Yeah

I disabled the cumulative gamma shaders and my game looks like this now:

[normal gale]

the glossy hands like your first photo though ..that was insane .. my hands just look like they are always wet lol

[turbid wave]

Yeah, it's back to looking like my first photo. Sometimes. If I reload the game it's a tossup if I get that or not

[normal gale]

yeah you still need the cumulative shaders im pretty sure.. they why i went the route of deleting the specific things

[frigid spade]

does this really fix depth buffer?

[silent cairn]

Yes

[normal gale]

thats weird.. i wonder if you missed something in the process . im crap at explaining things lol

[silent cairn]

It's a necessary step to some

[turbid wave]

I did a complete reinstall. Still have the issue

[normal gale]

what dx are you running ? are you changing any settings in game in the graphics menu.. usually when you close and load the game some effects only kick in after

[turbid wave]

dx 11

and yes im changing setting in game like resolution

mouse sens

sound

it seems like anytime it writes to the user.ltx, i get glossy hands

The above pic is after a shaders clear too

[silent cairn]

Glossy hands are part of default GAMMA as it is right now

[normal gale]

yeah but not to that extent lol

[silent cairn]

Doesn't happen with every outfit but with sunrise armor it is very apparent

[plucky pewter]

I think Jaku's fixed shaders will be part of upcoming official update, right?

[normal gale]

mine are always this glossy and thats fine .

[turbid wave]

There's also a very glossy/white light source at my feet

[normal gale]

pretty sure thats a known issue .. but something is making your stuff super bright

[turbid wave]

Think it might be hippo's custom user.ltx that i'm using. I don't have his shader installed at the moment either

[mint owl]

I think Jaku tested it as well with Hippo's preset so I don't think thas the issue

[turbid wave]

I do have dynamic tone mapping off in the options but not modorganizer

[frigid spade]

nah didnt fix the depth buffer

[silent cairn]

If you are using shaders cumulative make sure your gloss_factor is 0.5 and gloss_min 0.001

[frigid spade]

bummer got hopes up

i wonder if theres ANY workaround for 2d scopes and depth buffer..

any hope at all D';

[turbid wave]

Changed gloss factor. No change

[normal gale]

im scrolling through anomly discord cause i can see a couple of people with the same issue in there

[silent cairn]

Either depth buffer works or not, you can check with displaydepth shader effect:

But it doesn't fix the scope issue even if it is setup correctly

Because how it warps the picture

[normal gale]

do you have any other mods not from gamma installed?

[turbid wave]

No

[frigid spade]

its offset when you scope in with 2d scopes

basically it doesn't zoom enough

like the 2d scope needs its own depth buffer its fawked

[normal gale]

did you prior to your clean install ? like no remnants ?

[turbid wave]

Yes

err no

no I didn't have any other mods

[frigid spade]

bepth buffer is too small and offset when zooming with 2d scopes

honestly mxao is so powerful i almost want to just disable 2d scopes which is a travesty

[turbid wave]

Just reloaded the game and I'm back to normal/gloss is gone. What the hell? I changed nothing

[normal gale]

that is odd.

just run with it .. never turn it off ! lol

[turbid wave]

lol

[frigid spade]

omg i just found out how to fix depth buffer in scopes

wooooo

scope_factor 1

removes fov change on scopes

so that kinda sucks

but you still get the 2d scope

and depth buffer works

console

[manic sage]

Yeah just figured

[frigid spade]

im so hyped on this

[manic sage]

thank you for the fix

[frigid spade]

ya np

checked out moddb description and they mentioned fov and i knew it had to be that

[turbid wave]

Glossy hands came back after deleting shader case. So I closed completely out of ModOrganizer and Explorer. Restarted ModOrganizer, launched game, and glossy hands now gone.

[normal gale]

does it stay away if you dont delete shader cache and restart ? without making any changes

[turbid wave]

sometimes

Reloaded, no glossy hands. Reloaded again just now and glossy hands are back

Ugh.... closed out of everything, reloaded, glossy hands back

I have no idea what's causing this

[frigid spade]

oh man my game looks a million times better with ao, hell yea

this also means rtgi and everything else works

[normal gale]

id make sure everything is installed correctly . the latest sss etc.. i cant remember which one of you mentioned that you had the old sss still . and deleted it , not cumulative but the other..

[turbid wave]

I still have the original ASCII 190 SSS. Enabling or disabling it does nothing for the problem

[normal gale]

yeah so . when i did my fresh install . it doesnt install the old 190 .. it installs the new 190 basicly . so maybe there is a remnant of the old 190 messing with it

[turbid wave]

All that I deleted were the screenspace files in cumulative

[normal gale]

so i only have 1 - 190 not 2 versions of it in my moddb . i never had to disable or delete it

thats the only thing i can think of thats different with out loadouts

[turbid wave]

I'm confused. Isn't the new 190 the new SSS from moddb?

[normal gale]

yeah . but with my fresh install it downloads that one .. my m02 sorry was blank

so i dont have the original outdated version in my mod list

[turbid wave]

Wait, really? Thought it downloaded one from Feb

[normal gale]

nah . my game wouldnt even run lol thats why i had to figure this out

[turbid wave]

So Grok must of updated it

[normal gale]

im not sure how the gamma installer works .. but when i did a fresh install it only downloaded 12.1 the latest one

and it wouldnt run

if i was a betting man. id say that might have something to do with it

[turbid wave]

So I don't even need the SSS update from moddb?

As Gamma just downloads it anyways as 190?

[normal gale]

on a fresh install it did for me

like a completely blank slate install

[turbid wave]

Interesting. Everyone's been complaining about the new shaders not being added until down the road and I guess they are already here

[normal gale]

dunno it was only dumb luck i noticed it in the download que

[turbid wave]

Ok, trying fresh install now

I've reinstalled this god damn game at least 15 times by now. It takes me like 5min vs. 60min the first time

[normal gale]

haha i did like 4 times last night just trying to get this to work

[silent cairn]

The problem is that it has not been integrated into shaders cumulative (afaik). People want the dof effect and that requires some extra changes as well

[normal gale]

yep . .i wasnt aware when i did a reinstall that it grabbed the latest versions . i thought the list was curated

[turbid wave]

There's a Gamma "downloads" zip that contains almost all of the modpacks. I've been using that to skip downloads

[mint owl]

So much efforts for a vision loss xD You all want glasses or something ?

[silent cairn]

I want it at least installed properly into the game and then optionally enabled from mcm

[normal gale]

i would much prefer that myself also lol. this was alot of mucking about

[turbid wave]

So I guess the main takeaway is to delete all the screenspace files from gamma cumulative shaders and make sure 190 is below gamma cumulative shaders in ModOrganizer?

[normal gale]

yeah plus the other couple of things .. not sure if they happen for everyone . but they happened for me . and it seemed to work with you guys

[turbid wave]

oh, and replace the .exes

[normal gale]

if it doesnt compile . then its reset the graphic settings . user . shader . and then copy the gamma patches into anomoly etc

[silent cairn]

I think there are other mods that rely on the default gamma exe so be mindful of that (someone correct me if I'm wrong). You should at least get the demonized exe from git

That has compatibility patches

[turbid wave]

I have the github ones. Didn't know there was a difference between the two

[normal gale]

me either . i have the git ones also

[silent cairn]

[normal gale]

oops ive actually been using the sss ones lol

[frigid spade]

fixed depth buffer in 2d scopes btw, scope_factor 1 in console. was an fov issue

[silent cairn]

Two months until Eden returns

[turbid wave]

So, the 190 12.1 that Gamma downloads only contains some of the files that the SSS file on moddb contains. Theres stuff missing

[normal gale]

yeah you have to reinstall it once its in your m02 . that was one of the steps

with the other modules .. i did it after i cleared out the cumulative ones

[turbid wave]

What do you mean by reinstall it?

[normal gale]

right click .. reinstall . it will give you a list of modules

the ones ticked are the ones already installed .

like on line 190 in your mo2

[turbid wave]

gotcha

shader compilation failed

nevermind

[normal gale]

got it ?

[turbid wave]

think so

[normal gale]

got my texture mods in and the majestic reshade working finally

[turbid wave]

Nice. Think my glossy hands is fixed. Thanks Brodie

[normal gale]

youre all good mate . just yell out if it does anything weird and ill see what i can dig up

[turbid wave]

Noooooo glossy hands is back

[normal gale]

damn . thought we had it then

[turbid wave]

deleting shaders caused it I think

and now they are gone. wtf

[normal gale]

thats so strange .

maybe ask in sss on moddb if the author has seen that behavior before. could be a simple fix

[frigid spade]

edit scope_factor 1 and scope_ca 0

passing out >_< went hard today. peace all. also recommend installing 3x shader cascade exe's from SSS mod recent update.

sun rays high 0.7, 0.25

[mint owl]

That's nice to know, I'll probably leave the DoF disabled though, not an effect I'm fond of, or maybe a slight one to soften the maximum distant textures

[mint owl]

Yup, can't wait either, I'm getting some ideas

[gilded pulsar]

Hey guys, ive got a problem, after i installed my reshade, my screen went black in my game, how can i fix

[rich sentinel]

Finally posted my reshade presets on #1035807043933720576 section

[tidal marlin]

if youre having issues with the sss dof go to gamma ui addon in mo2, and delete/disable the grok_dof_with_UI.script file

[tidal marlin]

this looks wonderful, unreal stuff pal

[rich sentinel]

Thank you very much

[mint owl]

I may have had another idea of repack

[rich sentinel]

Ideas

[mint owl]

Actually two faces of a same coin

[rich sentinel]

[tidal marlin]

[tidal marlin]

really nice work

[rich sentinel]

All worked well? Looks really nice

[tidal marlin]

like a charm, running vanilla grading and getting a lovely cold-but-not-too-cold vibe that i dont see often

[rich sentinel]

Yeah, I like the bluish cold feeling on some games, stalker included, game already has too much yellow/red tones, glad you liked it

[vague island]

Hows the fps hit on your reshade

Havent tried it yet

[glossy pond]

Finally, congrats

[tidal marlin]

no noticeable hit to me but i am running a 3080ti

i stg that wasn’t a humble brag

[vague island]

How

[vague island]

Yeah im only on a 970

Fps is a thing I have to maintain

[heavy sun]

Dyn mentioned in txt file that he uses rx580

[tidal marlin]

fair, i still think you won’t take more of a hit than any other reshade

[vague island]

Aight ill check it out maybe tomorrow im not in pc atm

[frigid spade]

you gotta type scope_factor 1 in console, it will repair depth buffer when in a 2d scope, you lose the fov adjustment of the scopes but worth it imo.

[vague island]

Ah it also makes the scopes cleaner right

I just turned off the AO of glamarye

Somehow the issue is back

[frigid spade]

that would be scope_ ca 0

[vague island]

Ive never had tbat for 2 days

[frigid spade]

that makes it cleaner

[vague island]

If I would revert this change just type scope_factor 0?

[vague island]

Aight nice cause I dont want that I want the scopes to be more realistic

[frigid spade]

"If you don't like the effect you can set scope_factor to 1. This removes all magnification. A value of 0.75 will result in a 1.33x magnification and very little noticeable drop in quality. A value of 0.5 will result in a magnification of 2x, and 0.25 a magnification of 4x with a very noticeable drop in image quality." from 2d scope creator.

you still magnify via the dif scopes zoom though

they just offset a hard magnification with the scope_factor fov change

[vague island]

whats the default scope_factor value

[frigid spade]

less realistic, but your entire depth buffer wont break

one sec

0.66 i think

[vague island]

cause incase I dont like it I think I'd wanna revert it

[frigid spade]

type scope_factor and the default will pop up

copy that down and then youll know

i mean it only works if not changed but ya

also honestly theres more realistic options than the default, gonna vary scope to scope

[vague island]

you mean if I change it the fov adjustment will be gone?

even if I change it back to default value of 0.66?

[frigid spade]

if you change it you will lose track of the default

thats all i meant

[vague island]

ah aight

[frigid spade]

everything is reversable

[vague island]

so its safe to change the values

[frigid spade]

yea

[vague island]

imma test it out now

[frigid spade]

tbh i feel like its pretty realistic still even without it being on default

i barely notice in real world gameplay when not directly thinking about it, and heavy heavier ao and global illumination is worth it

[vague island]

yeah

wait

[frigid spade]

you can alter the ca too, so its not too heavy, dont have to reduce ti

[vague island]

I still have the Fov adjustment tho

[frigid spade]

??

it adjust 1 of the fov sliders when you scope but not the other, and the other breaks the depth buffewr

[vague island]

is this not what you mean? xD

[frigid spade]

so doing this makes the depth buffer not break

[vague island]

i thought changing the values would remove the scope from moving

[frigid spade]

no

[vague island]

ah

perfect

thanks for this

[frigid spade]

the scope still works perfect

ya

huge leap imo, ive been dying without ao and global ilum

[vague island]

this at 0.66

[frigid spade]

i jumped for joy when i found that post

post one at 1

im curious

[vague island]

I see nothing at all

[frigid spade]

ya dude

[vague island]

even when moving the mouse around

[frigid spade]

its barely shit

the zoom is dif

[vague island]

before you'd see it

[frigid spade]

but

yea

[vague island]

the zoom doesnt matter

its fine

[frigid spade]

yea

[vague island]

i kinda like it this way

i can zoom it anyway

[frigid spade]

and it fixes everything

yea

lol

i was so happy lol

[vague island]

does it change the maximum 8x zoom capability tho?

lemme try now

[frigid spade]

nope

[vague island]

it changes it

[frigid spade]

honestly its now just how it was meant to be, the fov change was making custom zooms

well technically yeah

[vague island]

its fine

not that big of a deal

[frigid spade]

but not hard change, it just appears dif cuz we are used to a certain fov

[vague island]

good trade off

[frigid spade]

yeah imo

scopes could technically be edited to account for this as well

[vague island]

it kinda feels better

[frigid spade]

imo its better

like just the fov alone i prefer at 1

and you get the benefit of the ao

[vague island]

What do you use for ao

[frigid spade]

gonna be subjective to everyone but ya i like it

ssdo

[vague island]

shit maybe i can increase ao strength of glamarye now

[frigid spade]

and glam

yea

you can

[vague island]

can you share your glam settings

i toned it down to remove this effect before

[frigid spade]

make sure to find a foggy day with glam and mess with ao in bright scenes

i shared it above

np

ao adds sooooo much to a scene, game changed 😛

[manic sage]

As long as it’s done tastefully as you already have AO from SSR

[rich sentinel]

Depends on the preset, the gamma preset only drops 5 FPS on my end

[vague island]

aight thanks

[frigid spade]

the ao in ssr is not the only type of ao is the thing, it simply wont affect some details

if you want a dif type of depth added tothe scene you have to use another type of ao

[manic sage]

I get what you mean but too much ao even if adding depth can be distracting. You did a good job on your implementation through glamaraye

[frigid spade]

yeah im trying to not overdo it but at the same time i like it a bit heavier than normal just personally, but i want to avoid foggy scenes getting destroyed, thats basically my limit i use

its gonna be a while to dial it in even more, i change it slowly as i notice things, but its coming along :]

[glossy pond]

would this work for getting aggressor grass

redux is efp floral redux iirc

[frigid spade]

what is agressor grass?

does agressor reshade come with it's own grass?

like, textures?

[sick wigeon]

Yeah GTR doesn't have grass iirc

[glossy pond]

👍 thx

and since its green w redux theres no overlap?

so redux doesnt have grass either?

[glossy pond]

aggressor has textures too

and an optional one is grass, yes

[sick wigeon]

idk I've never used it, but it would be overwritten by aggressor

[glossy pond]

the one already in mo2 is ground textures

alright i guess ill find out

[frigid spade]

That's cool

[swift robin]

i want to instal a mod called absolute nature but the game wont open

if some one can help me

[glossy pond]

go to custom modlist support

[frigid spade]

this doesnt have to do with that mod, you cleared shder cache right?

[glossy pond]

and post your log @swift robin

also do that

[frigid spade]

he did though is the issue, i bet he doesnt have the correct setup for update 12 sss mod.

[glossy pond]

possibly

u guys should try my install for the update 12 sss mod

i may have gotten a different version than u guys

[frigid spade]

you need to remove these files from shader cumulative pack and make sure sss mod is loading after it in mo2(place sss mod below it)

[glossy pond]

bc i got it from someone in the server

[swift robin]

this is the log

[swift robin]

wath is the path

??

[frigid spade]

and then you need to replace user.itx in C:\Anomaly\appdata with the file in here C:\STALKER GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata

[swift robin]

how can i replace

??

[frigid spade]

then replace C:\Anomaly\gamedata\configs\cache_dbg.ltx with D:\STALKER GAMMA INSTALL FOLDER.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\gamedata\configs\cache_dbg.itx

sorry im looking up paths trying to get them to you

C:\STALKER GAMMA\mods\Shaders_cumulative_pack_for_GAMMA is where you need to delete from

then follow my other two instructions

replace cache_dbg.itx and user.itx with the files stored in D:\STALKER GAMMA INSTALL FOLDER.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
they are there for this purpose

then delete those files from shader cumulative pack, then make sure sss mod is loading after shader cumulative pack in mo2 and make sure appdata shader cache is cleared'

i hope that all makes sense -_- could have presented it better

was trying to type quick lol

this is the fix to get the new SSS mod update 12 to work and actually make use of its new files instead of the other way which uses shader cumulative packs files and you only get the new dof. this will give you the new ssr on the weapon as well as dof. no more shader compilation error

also make sure you are using the new exe's preferably the experimental 3x shadow ones. if you use the experimental ones, make sure when you installed sss mod in mo2 you check experimental. you can right click and reinstall and select it if need be.

they only show up in the sss mod folder if you check it. you can right click something in mo2 and "open in explorer" to get to the mod folders easy.

good luck lol

[swift robin]

but how i replace user.itx

?

[frigid spade]

you go to the modpack patcher folder, go in to appdata, grab the user.itx from there

and replace the one in the normal appdata folder in anomaly folder

[swift robin]

okkkkk

[frigid spade]

same applies to cache_dbg.itx, but in the gamedata\configs\ folder

[vague island]

@frigid spade have you noticed this? the AO shines through DoF

since you also use glam

without AO

[frigid spade]

yeah i have

ive done my best in my most recent reshade upload to curb it

if you download the most recent one it shoeld be a bit better. i had to remove glam ao shine for the most part

[vague island]

Aight

its fine imo

[frigid spade]

did that fix your issue?

[turbid wave]

Do you all have the Dynamic Tonemapper enabled? Or do you disable it and just use custom lum values?

[frigid spade]

the tonemapper is left how it is default for gamma

for simplicity

so its doing its gamma stuff

[swift robin]

yeah its good

thx

: )

[frigid spade]

np :]

[umbral nexus]

could someone help me by explaining what is wrong with my reshade/textures please. https://i.imgur.com/G6JVWzY.jpeg

Everything is really dark and the sky is white. Fresh installed anomaly and gamma and then I can't seem to fix the reshade.

[minor spruce]

Just installed your reshade, absolutely love it bro. its a beautiful pair with the dead zone texture overhaul !

[rich sentinel]

Thank you very much brother, post some screenshots if you can, now I'm curious

[quiet sluice]

what reshades do you recommend to use with GAMMA?

[manic sage]

I fixed the blue god rays........................................

[normal gale]

hey mate , did you have to enable anything after installing the 3x shadow thing ? ive got that ring again with the custom exe

[whole patrol]

Best gamma reshades?

[sour oar]

Try CS Eden's reshade or Hippo's

I think mine is great obviously, but considering their progress (especially Hippo's) I can't say it's the best

[normal gale]

nvm i fixed it . it was the sun far scale . i forgot to change it again after i reset my settings lol

[silent cairn]

What is the best anyway, if everyone made the same looking reshade it would be awfully boring

[sour oar]

I mean, true

Mine is personally very stylized, more so now that I’ve started using grading_warm which is obviously not for everyone

[silent cairn]

But for those who like it...

[mint owl]

You forgot Agressor again

[silent cairn]

How could I forget

THE BEST GRAPHICS 2022 STALKER HIGHEST QUALITY 4K

[normal gale]

can you guys recommend some AO tweaks ? i dont know much about it

[mint owl]

[manic sage]

You mean expedition?

https://tenor.com/view/morning-sunshine-blind-bright-gif-5235310

[mint owl]

Both at the same time for maximum experience

[manic sage]

meanwhile me over here like this

color blind self can only do reshades with numbers

[short prism]

is there any way to make the graphic even better
I've done tweaking settings in game
I haven't touched anything related to reshades

I have a 3060

[manic sage]

reshades and shader params

[silent cairn]

And uh, textures

[subtle tusk]

it is bad isn't?

too much glow

[manic sage]

Colors are okay I think, but yeah lots and lots of glow

[silent cairn]

Keep going and you'll get close to my masterpiece

[subtle tusk]

[sour oar]

You can’t really get much better

[mint owl]

I remember the old days when absurd bloom and ultra blacks levels were considered ultra graphics xD

[silent cairn]

Gotta hide the dated graphics somehow

[frigid spade]

feel like i got a nice scene to scene variance going so far

before i got my color right every area felt like it had the same filter over it

[subtle wraith]

How do you get it to be so lively? My ground is just bare

[frigid spade]

The textures or the lighting?

[subtle wraith]

overall scenery, its has heaps of grass, lighting, etc

[frigid spade]

textures are summer mod, turned up ssr in the settings_screenspace_SSR.h file, worked on my reshade foreeever to get a color scheme I liked. It's linked in #1041041642347573368

[frigid spade]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jCAlpa5DnN7EADkAcCQVQ1HTo9CdjTt7 summer mod and other types are here, gotta disable gardener of the zone and enable those in its place

[subtle wraith]

Ahh sweet, gardener of the zone is a gamma mod?

[frigid spade]

yea, you turn that off and basically replace it

with one of those

[still hollow]

hey! how do you get such a nice look?
my game looks like a real potato next to it

[frigid spade]

gotta install reshade :] and crank graphics + you can eddit screen space shader mod ini files for better reflections and stuff

[still hollow]

do you know how i could change the weather?
I would like to try with several weather to see if everything works well

[late tiger]

by using the debug menu

start your game with debug mode on, hit F7 I think it is, and start toying with the weather settings 🙂

[loud geode]

What reshade is this yo

Btw how to edit sss?

And where i can find this

[still hollow]

thx bruh

[frigid spade]

its my reshade, instructions in #1041041642347573368

[loud geode]

Great work dude

[frigid spade]

been going hard this last week, always wanted to do this 😛

[loud geode]

how is the performance in this reshade?

does it eat up a lot of fps?

[frigid spade]

Depends. 3060 ti is okay for me.

Prob would hurt a 1070 a fair bit.

It is heavier than usual, it uses radiantgi and ambient occlusion and glam which are all heavy effects.

[vague island]

@manic sage uh the new quint_solaris effect in the update doesnt compile for me

might be for other people as well but ill try installing quint through reshade

[manic sage]

Solaris shouldn’t matter i don’t use it

I’ll fix that compile error later today

@vague island

[vague island]

ah i thought it was part of the new update since you mentioned 5 effects should be running for LR version

[manic sage]

Do you not have adaptive tonemaper, regrade, contrast sharpen, bloom, glamaraye

Are you missing one?

Adaptive should be under regrade

[vague island]

this is whats on for me in Hippo_GradingR

without touching or modifying anything

looks like im missing 2?

[manic sage]

Try to reinstall everything one more time and send me a screenshot if that doesn’t work then that’s my bad

I’ll have to redo that recompile later today

Yeah you’re missing regrade and prod bloom

Make sure to delete the reshade-shaders folder. If still doesn’t work then I’m sorry I’ll fix it

[vague island]

Its no problem man

aight ill try it now tho I did delete the reshade-shaders folder

Ill try it again just incase to make sure

[manic sage]

Doesn’t hurt to give it a shot

[vague island]

its fine if I keep the old presets right? that does nothing

since the hippo grading ini is the one I modified to my tastes

[manic sage]

Yeah shouldn’t be an issue

And those ltx files you’re putting them in appdata?

[vague island]

wait yeah xD

[manic sage]

lol

[silent cairn]

[vague island]

i did that just now

cause I reinstalled everything

I auto piloted xD

[manic sage]

Lmao

[vague island]

this is what is on for me after reinstalling everything

prod bloom is missing

and this is what is on for me in LR

[manic sage]

Better but you’re still missing bloom

Ok that’s fucked

Im gonna take the download link down

[vague island]

what do you think is the problem

[manic sage]

But will be fixed later today

[vague island]

you have the shaders in their folders as well

[manic sage]

This is what happens when you work on stuff at 3am

[frigid spade]

lol i feel that

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

I’ll fix it later

[vague island]

thank you for your service comrade

what time is it for you guys now

its 7:40 PM for me

[frigid spade]

i keep posting my reshade without being in performance mode, messing up the formatting on my update posts and it be annoying lol

740

[vague island]

wait a minute

[frigid spade]

but ive been up since 230 or something

[vague island]

you live in dubai too?

am or pm xD

[frigid spade]

oregon lmao

[manic sage]

10:41 am here

[vague island]

oh okey lol

so mostly from the US so our times are opposites

[frigid spade]

yea

crazy dubai is an exact 12 i didnt know that

from pst

[vague island]

yeah

oregon huh

[frigid spade]

treeland

[vague island]

polar opposites

[frigid spade]

yeah lol

[vague island]

im in sand land

[frigid spade]

yeah its like complete opposite

[vague island]

just got home actually looking at properties we have to move

[frigid spade]

as far as it could be xD

[vague island]

yeah

lol ill be keeping that in mind

[frigid spade]

honestly oregon kinda looks like ukraine, with thicker and bigger woods

[vague island]

I wanna move to canada some day

somewhere cold

the climate here is just summer in december and july is hell

[frigid spade]

https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/oregon-woods-robert-fawcett.jpg oregon

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/Klavdievo_forest.JPG ukraine

[vague island]

pretty nice

[frigid spade]

thats why i made my reshade like

misty wewdz

[vague island]

yeah I havent tried it yet cause I only have a 970

im barely 35-40 fps in rostok

Hippo_Grading with my edit and HippoR.ltx

Hippo_Grading with my edit and old Hippo.ltx

weather is clear 3 at 10 am

[manic sage]

Yeah stuff won’t look good with hippor or hippolr without the regrade effect

As both have color shifts that regrade fixes

[vague island]

yeah

[manic sage]

Even if only running the ltx files

[vague island]

ill just use my old setup for now

[manic sage]

Good good

Should look like this when all is said and done

[vague island]

looking forward to it

take your time tho

[manic sage]

I won’t be off work for another 6 hours

So won’t be until then

[vague island]

thats not a problem

ill be sleeping soon ill wake up to your reshade

[silent cairn]

Hippo coming home from one job to another

[manic sage]

Pretty much but I’m happy with the reshade now until someone says magenta

So much more work from here on out

The hippoR preset has rtgi functionality now if you have that affect

But completely optional

https://imgur.com/FcYgEUO ive been able to replicate this

With rtgi

[rich sentinel]

My RX can't handle RTGI

[frigid spade]

jungleclearsky

[manic sage]

Completely optional

[sick wigeon]

This gives me farcry 2 vibes

[frigid spade]

haha

it varies a lot

[sick wigeon]

Yeah I want to try your reshade at some point, but you've been updating it so much. I'm gonna wait for you to get a "final" version so I get the best experience with it

[frigid spade]

Yeah its very unfinalized

I like just started

Im dialing in the global illumination and ao and to do so I gotta traverse the entire map

See everything, so it all works.

ive got so many "testing" saves to load and mess around

lol

I also have full instructions on how to properly run sss mod so it will compile with the newest reflections edits instead of just the new dof. I have noticed many people are running it in such a way that the old shader cumulative pack is winning file conflicts and people are only getting the new dof.

[unborn dagger]

Wow Did you use a texture pack?

[manic sage]

Yes

Many texture packs

[unborn dagger]

it looks very beautiful

[verbal grail]

im using eden's reshade golden autumn - anyone can tell me what causes this lighting here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogrxkd5-Zs8

[frigid spade]

medium reflections in sss mod def looks much better

it hits the hand a lot more

[frigid spade]

may wanna get sss mod experimental shadow cascades, think itll fix that, not 100% sure, does it go away when reshade is off?

[verbal grail]

ah yes, its there also with other presets..

[unkempt cedar]

how to get this result ? What do I need to do ?

[regal saffron]

is gamma reshade the same as aggressor? I enameled aggressor but the ini dosent show up

[sick wigeon]

No, the aggressor that comes with gamma is just the ground textures. You need to install it manually.

[regal saffron]

hmm ok thanks

[frigid spade]

Added AA support for my reshade. Will help folks at 1080p.

[muted glacier]

Im in love

[normal gale]

Anyone recommend an atmospheric style reshade ? Im running michikos weather now instead of majestic and majestic reshade isnt doing it for me .

[manic sage]

@frigid spade trying out your reshade

is this how bright the main menu is supposed to be?

[frigid spade]

nope

[frigid spade]

idk why its like that

[frigid spade]

just installed it on another pc and it wasnt like that, must be basic light settings or something?

or tonemapper? idk

[mint owl]

Monitor difference ?

[frigid spade]

thats extreme

i just installed it on another monitor too, one was a TN panel one IPS.

both were fine

[frigid spade]

just posted a new hotfix, try that one

maybe i uploaded a borked file?

[echo hawk]

My favorite with this weather is Piknik reshade. Im not sure if it's atmospheric enough tho.

[normal gale]

Thanks mate. Ill suss it out. I havent heard of that one before.

[echo hawk]

It's an older one on modbd.

[echo hawk]

No problem. Might not suit you. Also Don't forget to set the enhanced shader parameter according to the page of the Michiko weather revised mod.

[normal gale]

Yeah i did that. The only thing is i had to load warm color grading after because i had blue tints in the dark. But all the other parameters took well

[echo hawk]

Yeah that's annoying. The default one is the best looking one but oh well. It is what it is.

[normal gale]

It was even worse on majestic. But i couldnt get rid of it on majestic. Michikos one did fix it with the warm color grade. And i like dynamic tonemap which didnt look right at night on majestic.

[frigid spade]

were you ever able to get it working? concerned there may be a problem for some users.

[frigid spade]

Sorry for pumping out so many builds rapidly lol, I just wanna keep it recent. Once I reach version 0.5 or so it will likely slow down a lot.

[manic sage]

I'll give it a shot in a bit

[frigid spade]

kk

[mint owl]

Is it from the skybox ? It looks a bit odd with that cloud on the left

[frigid spade]

Is what from the skybox?

The banding on the clouds?

cant seem to get rid of that

texture quality too low on skybox

[manic sage]

Certain effects make the skybox pixelated

Just disable effects to see what effects the skybox to find it

Even with other weather mods like cgim the skybox will be affected by certain effects

[silent cairn]

Now that you have your own mods-post you can post your reshade updates there to keep other channels a bit more clean

[manic sage]

@silent cairn On a seperate note, I've had no issues with your SSS tweaks from the last time you've sent them to me

[glossy pond]

Jaku when u planning to release ur tweaks as a mod?

[manic sage]

lmao

[glossy pond]

Same

Tweaks look amazing

[manic sage]

Jaku is waiting until the new SSS update gets officially implemented into GAMMA

[glossy pond]

Ah ok

[silent cairn]

Tuesday seems to be the big update day

[manic sage]

I dont think it will happen but it would also be nice if the new BAS gets implemented then

[silent cairn]

Would be nice

[manic sage]

finally turned it off now that the reshade is mostly done, will go back to tweaking it as I play like I used to

and I can finally play

[silent cairn]

You could still keep it on for regular play

[manic sage]

too tempting

God mode to get past hard encounters and free items at my finger tips is not something I want

[jaunty anvil]

Hey, I was told that someone here might know how to fix the sun shadow bug, maybe by increasing the sun shadow render distance?

[celest elm]

when hippo rehasde update

[manic sage]

#1036172060969410590 message updated now

[celest elm]

wait fr

lit

@manic sage how do i go to top of post im dumb

[manic sage]

download link and patch notes are pinned

[celest elm]

alr thanks man

[manic sage]

Just make sure you read the instructions fully

[jaunty anvil]

Can shades resolve this issue? I've been having clear, sunny weather in the game and these strange shadow distortions in the corner of my screen have been really distracting. Maybe this could be done by increasing the range of sun shadows?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3WZxdsaqQQ

[silent cairn]

Do you have distant shadow culling enabled?

[jaunty anvil]

Disabled.

[unborn dagger]

Is there a way to reduce the light from the sun?

[jaunty anvil]

From what I've noticed, there's several just look at Advanced settings.

Like Sun rays main intensity.

[silent cairn]

Is the sun below horizon in this?

[unborn dagger]

Thank you My English isn’t that good

[jaunty anvil]

The sun can be at any point, as long as it is this casting light / shadows, the issue of these wonky visuals always comes up.

[jaunty anvil]

When the sky gets too dark or there's fog, this just vanishes completely.

[jaunty anvil]

Np. You can also press Home and mess with the reshade, I turned off ambient light in mine.

[silent cairn]

I'll check this issue once I get back to my computer, it could be either shaders or weather settings

[jaunty anvil]

There's one more weird thing about this one.

You know how you can launch the game from different exe file?

[silent cairn]

Yes

[jaunty anvil]

When I used the Launcher it was less visible, then I use DX11-AVX, and it's more visible.

[silent cairn]

[jaunty anvil]

That was my reaction as well.

I double checked the save file over and over again.

[silent cairn]

Is there a sun_radius console command? I can't check myself atm

[jaunty anvil]

Let me see.

I know I messed with several sun settings

As soon as I have seen this bug I've tried to remove it on my own like 14 times now.

[silent cairn]

It's pretty obvious with bare snowy field like that

[jaunty anvil]

Don't see it anywhere.

[silent cairn]

And nothing with "radius"?

[jaunty anvil]

Nope, sadly not.

[silent cairn]

I know there is something like sunshaft radius but that ain't it

[jaunty anvil]

There something like sunshafts but I have no idea what it could be.

[silent cairn]

Do you have default GAMMA shaders? Or did you install newest SSS?

[jaunty anvil]

All default, I've been reinstalling GAMMA so many times that I've created myself a rar file with everything in it.

[silent cairn]

[jaunty anvil]

Same happens in Anonaly and EFP

[silent cairn]

Newest SSS comes with optional experimental exe that triples the shadow cascade distance, but it probably breaks some mods in gamma that are exe dependent

[jaunty anvil]

I have tried SSS on a fresh Anomaly with the experimental files, no changes.

[silent cairn]

Well then

[jaunty anvil]

You know what fully fixes this problem? FOV for some reason.

Don't ask me why but FOV 43 fixes all shadows.

[silent cairn]

This sounds awful lot like "it is just how it is" with this wack engine

I will also try to look solution to this today

Thanks for letting me know all these details

[jaunty anvil]

There was one guy who might have had something I haven't tried.

Give me a sec, I'll try to find it again.

There was this thread on moddb where they also had this exact but I don't think anyone found a solution.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/forum/thread/lightingshadow-issue-at-the-edge-of-screen-rc21

Then I went to, hmmm.

Ah! This one!

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/nsqyae/anomaly_sun_shadow_distance_bug_fixed/

It didn't seem to work either.

BUT the guy by the end had something interesting.

He said:

Go to gamedata/shaders/r3

Find and open accum_sun_near.ps

Replace 65 line with this

return float4( SRGNToLinear(Ldynamic_color.rgb * s.xxx),1) * light

[vague island]

Also had this issue with certain areas of W3 it was an engine limitation in the case of W3

[silent cairn]

Can you copy the og line 65 from accum_sun_near

Enhanced shaders mod should have that file

[jaunty anvil]

I'd try but I think there's 8 files withe the same name.

[silent cairn]

[jaunty anvil]

No 7 files, my bad.

So I don't know which one to even pick!

[silent cairn]

This fix could work though, I'll know where to put it once I get my hands on the files later today

[jaunty anvil]

That would be great! Let me know if you find something. For now starting the game via launcher helps a bit, like I've said.

And I don't wanna mess something up.

[silent cairn]

Fair, always backup

[jaunty anvil]

I have a backup, I'm just tired of the constant copy / paste.

I've been already driven nuts once by the game's compression and night skies looking all discolored, which forced me to find a none compression method that people are slowly starting to test. Now I'm driven mad by shadows popping up in front of me.

[silent cairn]

Don't let me ruin it more by pointing out this weird aura around weapons in rainy weather

[jaunty anvil]

Haven't seen that one yet! Maybe if I'm lucky, I won't.

[jaunty anvil]

I'll upload one more thing because it looks really weird on my end sometimes (this is the better, Launcher version). Take a look at the center of the screen, the spot where my shotgun is pointing.

Now look at that spot again, it's like the shadow is expanding in some type of geometrical shape, I don't know how to describe this "shadow wave" when I just look the other way.

And the further I turn away, one edge of looks kinda, jagged?

[silent cairn]

[silent cairn]

I'll see what I can do, all of these issues are due to engine shaders and not reshade though. The #╙🖇mods-making-discussion has a lot smarter people than me there if you are looking for more insight

[jaunty anvil]

I can also see it on hills and stuff but this spot is just so strange.

I'll try sharing all of this over there I guess.

[normal gale]

The shadow thing from this does fix the shadow issues. Got rid of my white trees too. But now im getting missing gun jam sounds etc. So yeah i think it does effect some gamma mods

Ive got an 3840×1600 ultra wide so its really obvious without the 3x experimental exe.

[normal gale]

I have the exact issue you have. Been trying to fix it for days. Tried all those console changes too. Only thing thay fixed it was the 3x experimental from sss. But it creates issues also. Because gamma / demonized exe is needed from what ive been told.

[jaunty anvil]

Well, that sucks... I guess the only thing that can be done now is to wait, some genius out there seems to know the answer, just gotta wait till it's implemented in to GAMMA now.

[normal gale]

Yeah unfortunately. Ive installed a weather mod where im going to try and reduce the amount of bright weather so i cant see it as much 😂 or hope the 3x fix gets included into an exe for gamma. Because its like the last issue ive got persisting. But its visually distracting to a great extent in clear days.

[jaunty anvil]

I hope that out lord and savior Gork notices this. I'm new here, so I haven't seen him but I'm certain he's on it, you just gotta BELIEVE!

[normal gale]

I just chucked it in suggestions for good measure

[jaunty anvil]

That was a great idea!

[jaunty anvil]

You could say it was absolutely "divine"!

Now we just gotta wait for divine intervention.

[normal gale]

Haha yep.

[frigid spade]

ive had trouble getting it any better than it is while still having the effects i want active at all

its mostly a lightroom thing, just changing the color brings out the banding

[frigid spade]

its obvious on 1440p for me, need that 3x exe for sure

[normal gale]

yeah 100% its night and day difference.. i cant beleive it fixed my damn white tree issue too lol i did another reinstall of gamma too trying to fix it

[normal gale]

hey man . im fiddling with rtgi .. can you recommed a couple of good baseline settings for it ?

[frigid spade]

I actually have been using radiant gi, i can pull up my rtgi and see what i had done hang on

[normal gale]

i tried radiant but i couldnt see any difference

[frigid spade]

radiant works pretty well and is MUCH cheaper, it is less pwoerful though

heres my rtgi

[qUINT_rtgi.fx]
FADEOUT_MODE_UI=2
RT_AO_AMOUNT=4.000000
RT_BACKFACE_MIRROR=1
RT_DEBUG_VIEW=0
RT_DO_RENDER=0

RT_HIGHP_LIGHT_SPREAD=1
RT_IBL_AMOUT=0.100000
RT_IL_AMOUNT=0.360000
RT_RAY_AMOUNT=2
RT_RAY_STEPS=2
RT_SAMPLE_RADIUS=20.000000
RT_SAMPLE_RADIUS_FAR=1.000000
RT_SHADING_RATE=1
RT_USE_ACESCG=0
RT_USE_SRGB=1

SKY_COLOR_AMBIENT_MIX=0.200000
SKY_COLOR_AMT=5.000000
UIHELP=0
UIHELP2=0

i havent messed with it much

i mean ive changed the values a lot, but its not tested in tons of environments

looks good, kills fps

my radiant looks good, costs much less

[frigid spade]

rtgi def looks better though

this is radiantgi though, not bad.

same scene with it off

this is rtgi

rtgi is better at grabbing the sky color and simulating the backface

rtgi lets you have a brighter wep for sure more realistic

what are the best motion vectors for rtgi that lag the least?

[normal gale]

rtgi gives me this like milky look in the dark on things .. know how to fix that ?

You can see it on the floors and stuff alot

[frigid spade]

its messing with the black levels because lighting is getting in to ao

and lightening it up

something i am currently trying to fix in mine rn as well

[normal gale]

Ahh so cant really fix it then?

[slate grotto]

Atm I think almost every setup I saw from reshades with rtgi has that effect, you can mostly see it on grass patches and at tress in the red forest
Legit sad

[normal gale]

Thats a shame. Maybe ill try and get radiant to work instead but havent had much luck

[frigid spade]

anyone know why rtgi motion vectors make me lag more?

thought it was supposed to help

[sacred cove]

Anyone willing to share their reshade settings? Any will do, ill customize them if feel the need to 🙂

[frigid spade]

New RTGI version out. :]

[vast frigate]

Hey i have just downloaded gamma and didnt touch it in any way, could i have some recommendations for settings/extra reshades to make it look more buitiful? Ore should i just play it like it is?

[vast frigate]

Looks stunning 🙂

[bitter edge]

Hippo's shader + Arcanebloom

hippo light btw

[vast frigate]

Uhh thanks

And it works smooth with gamma?

[teal bramble]

Guys how can i increase lighting? (Not gamma and contrast settings,my monitor a bit dead and lighting isnt too good on it and makes it too hard to see during night time

Any setting somewhere.

[lavish relic]

[frigid spade]

oooo

hype

[sick wigeon]

[normal gale]

Grok said the 3x experimental will be included in the next update too.

Have you updated to 12.2 yet ? Lol. Im at work but im keen to.

[frigid spade]

seems the pda dof is broken

on 12.2

just never comes on

[normal gale]

Whats it doing?

[frigid spade]

its alright though, those dof's are hard for me to use with my reshade due to the nature of ao and global ilumination

if it was real dof it would be better

[sick wigeon]

It's working for me, but only when I raise the pda

if I have it lowered there's no dof, which the last update had it

tbh I like it better that way

[normal gale]

I got used to having it off since it was better than the bug.

I walk around with my pda out lowered so that definitely sounds better to me

[frigid spade]

yea

do you have to recompile every time you change settings in mcm for sss dof?

[normal gale]

Does it have the peripheral dof while lowered ?

[frigid spade]

i wish i could find a way to not make ao and gi be so ugly with dof, i basically have to disable all this stuff

[sick wigeon]

very cool

[normal gale]

That looks soo good

[sick wigeon]

I don't think so, only if you change stuff in the settings files

[normal gale]

What are a couple of good reshade effects to apply ? Im using piknik atm and its good but i want to add a little more atmosphere to it. Or like softness ? If that makes sense.

My weathers are predominantly Lots of fog etc. Because i love the light shafts going through creepy areas etc so

Maybe a type of bloom or something ?

And radiant only really effects day time right ?
Is there a way or some effect to utilise like the torch light lighting better ?As i play on super dark nights.

[frigid spade]

oh shit if you turn the dof off of the items in turns off fdda

thats a problem for me

[frigid spade]

im so head deep in rtgi i dont know what to suggest

[frigid spade]

and yes, daytime but also fires a bit.

but yea this new update actually breaks fdda if you need the dof off

[normal gale]

Yeah i tried it around fires but I noticed no difference

[frigid spade]

i think it only effects fires if you reverse the depth buffer

[normal gale]

Ahh i did see that option but have no idea what it does so i didnt touch it

[frigid spade]

working with dof from this mod is actually extremely hard because of my reshade using ao

and gi

they both bleed through the dof

[normal gale]

I had that with rtgi. It really draws your focus. I got large grass so it looks ugly as

[frigid spade]

unfortunately you cant disabled it rn because of the new update, hes gonna have to patch this, disabling dof on fdda remove fdda entirely

hes getting blown up on moddb lolol

[normal gale]

Can you just reduce the dof down ? Instead of disabling, Ive got mine under 0.5 on non gun stuff and it fixed my dof issue with the pda.

In 12.1. It basicly disabled it without disabling it.

[frigid spade]

how do you reduce reload and fdda dof? it doesnt seem to effect it

[sick wigeon]

sss creator said that's a planned feature. doesn't exist yet afaik

[frigid spade]

ah

[normal gale]

Yeah i didnt disable it for reload so im not sure on that. But the second set of options i had focus fade start and focus fade length i had under 0.5 and that solved the pda issues for me .
I would have assumed the non gun aiming dof was tied to these seperate options

[frigid spade]

i may revert for now, i cant decide if people would rather have the dof and have it be someone broken with the ao and gi or have it all off for my reshade

no point in like, making a reshade at all, if i let the dof bug alone stop me from using ao and gi

ao and gi are the key elements to fancy reshades soo

frustrating conundrum 😛

if i get the option to raise and lower the blur, either an extreme blur or a very slight one may solve this issue

[tidal tiger]

?

[frigid spade]

@manic sage did you ever try my reshade again? i have another user having it be too bright and idk, just put it on my wifes pc and it worked fine.

[frigid spade]

sorry that was meant to go to hippo

[manic sage]

let me give this a shot

which version should I try?

[frigid spade]

most recent

[manic sage]

I think I'll try RTGI

[frigid spade]

yeah

[manic sage]

Which shader param should I use

grading_vanilla?

grading_default?

grading_warm?

or mine?

[frail moth]

@mint owl How did you achieve the blue tinted foliage, orange grass, etc back in the day? When it looked almost like The Outer Worlds.

[manic sage]

?

My preset as control

Radiant RTGI

[slate grotto]

rtgdark

nice

[manic sage]

Not my preset but I dont think Ethan intends for it to look this way

looks like its between microwaved

[frigid spade]

sorry had to step away
