New autumn mod?

Dunno, just use the trusty Golden Autumn Redux by FabioConte

No dead zone stuff though

[viral prawn]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/project-autumn-gold-aka-golden-autumn-redux i saw this, not familiar with how to try and add it myself without brickin my game but

[sour oar]

FABIO RELEASED A NEW AUTUMN MOD?

[viral prawn]

HE DIDNT KNOW

[sour oar]

Still like the old version more I'll be honest

I like the heavy reds and oranges

Looks dope though

[viral prawn]

does that ver work with MO?

[sour oar]

Well I sure hope it does because I was playing with it an hour ago haha

[viral prawn]

me omw to install the late fall ver i didn't even know he had more versions

[sour oar]

There's two old ones that I know of

Golden Autumn Redux and Autumn Season Redux

Autumn Season is like a mix between fall and winter

Golden Autumn is just fall

[viral prawn]

Did you have this when installing? Or is it just somethin to ignore

[sour oar]

Don't think that's the right version

From #custom-textures right?

[viral prawn]

Yee its from the fabio moddb, well the one i just installed, but i think its the one you were using, just an updated or reuploaded version(not by someone else but to moddb)

[sour oar]

Don't install the moddb version

[viral prawn]

ahhh

[sour oar]

That's the new one

The late fall one is different

Not on moddb, on the google drive

Have to pick it up from #custom-textures

Install uh 00 which is the base, called Autumn Season but that doesn't matter

And then 00 which is Golden Autumn Redux

To make it work you'll also need to disable Simple Autumn Retexture and Gardener of the Zone in MO2

I think there's also a fix to go with Simple Autumn? Not sure, I think that's new

[viral prawn]

he's removed the 00 stuff from what i read in threads and whatnot, i think that error is new but im gonna try and run it and see what happens maybe its just a new thing to ignore

[sour oar]

hm

[viral prawn]

yee im fucken LOST i dunno im not too good with how monolith eng modding works so im

🤷

no biggie tho i can deal

[pseudo aurora]

would anyone be willing to assist me a little on reshades/gfx settings?

[sour oar]

What's up?

[pseudo aurora]

i just dl' intra's reshader and i've got it loaded in game but the options for most of what he has checked in the screenshot doesnt exist in mine

ie: vignette, levels, filmgrain etc.

[sour oar]

Open reshade with home

Go to settings

Make sure you have all effect paths

[pseudo aurora]

well i was trying to screenshot it to show you, but idk where the screenshots save to while in the reshade console

[sour oar]

GAMMA/overwrite/bin if you use print screen

But if you use print screen it copies to your clipboard anyway

[pseudo aurora]

sorry for both screens, i just had to paste lol

[sour oar]

https://tenor.com/view/tiny-text-gif-7228621

Hahah ok so

press here

And from there what you want to do is type the rest of the folder directory in until you're at Anomaly/bin/reshade-shaders/Shaders/, copy whatever you had to type in and then select one of the possible folders, if that makes sense

And then do that over and over until all folders are selected

You'll have access to all the effects

[pseudo aurora]

i understand enough to try it, thats all i'll say. if you dont hear from me in 5 min, just wait longer

sorry in advance for the size

[sour oar]

Yup that looks good

You're on the right track lol

[pseudo aurora]

thats all there was

[sour oar]

Do that and then press reload back in Home

Hm it is?

Did the person not copy their reshade-shaders folder into the reshade file?

[pseudo aurora]

am i the person to whome you're referring?

[sour oar]

No no

The creator of the reshade

Uh, here just take my folder lol

[pseudo aurora]

its the gentleman/lady you were talking to earlier

[sour oar]

Indeed

Put this into Anomaly/bin

Replace all

Well unzip it first obv

[pseudo aurora]

also, allow me to preface... i'm stumbling through this entire process pretty hard, if you couldnt tell

whoa, ok. now there's more options

[sour oar]

i know right

it's great

now i'm not sure if that IS the issue here, but put all those options in, refresh in home and then reinstall the .ini from the reshade

[pseudo aurora]

i understand all that except for "reinstall the .ini from the reshade"

[sour oar]

so

[pseudo aurora]

i get reinstall, i know what a .ini is, but from the reshade?

[sour oar]

where you installed the reshade from that person earlier

their file is nothing but a .ini lol

just reinstall that

like drop it into your bin and replace

[pseudo aurora]

oh ok

after i load up all the new options and refresh in home, correct?

[sour oar]

Yup

ooh actually now that i look

make sure you added the Shaders folder itself too

[pseudo aurora]

i have C:/Anomaly/bin/reshade-shaders/shaders

[sour oar]

KK thats the one

[pseudo aurora]

or were you talking about in the reshader console?

[sour oar]

As well as the other ones

[pseudo aurora]

got it

[sour oar]

Because there's some effects that aren't in a like seperate folder

Anyway you might need to reinstall the .ini thing again

[pseudo aurora]

understood

[sour oar]

Sorry for the like. Mangled instructions btw, I'm tired

[pseudo aurora]

i'm still adding options lol

no worries at all, i appreciate any assistance

i also just noticed i'm working off an old version of the reshader, is that a problem?

[sour oar]

Which version?

[pseudo aurora]

5.4.2

[sour oar]

You should be on 5.4.2 I think

Yeah that's fine

[pseudo aurora]

ok

[sour oar]

5.5.1 is the most recent but 5.4.2 is the version GAMMA is on currently

[pseudo aurora]

got it

ok so, options are in. i'm refreshed, do i need to close the game before i reinstall .ini?

[sour oar]

Just in case

Clear your shaders cache while you're at it

[pseudo aurora]

that was going to be another question i had, would clearing the shaders cache clear out all the butchering i did before you saved me from drowning?

i messed with bloom and shadow mids and all kinds of stuff i should never touch

[sour oar]

Shouldn't

That would be saved in a .ini file

[pseudo aurora]

how do i clear shader cache?

[sour oar]

Delete shaders_cache folder in Anomaly/appdata

[pseudo aurora]

do you have a go to setup you use?

[sour oar]

Like what reshade I use?

[pseudo aurora]

yeah, like the settings for vignette and bloom and all that

[sour oar]

I don't use vignette

I do use bloom though

I dunno off the top of my head, I'll be honest

I haven't made any changes to my reshade in a little bit

Let me get it for ya

[pseudo aurora]

no dont worry about it

i was just wondering if it was more common to mess with them or leave them be

[sour oar]

Well

That depends

If you're making your own reshade, or using a preset from someone else

For example I use my own, but most people tend to use Hippo's

[pseudo aurora]

ahhh, i havent seen hippos yet

[sour oar]

I won't deny that Hippo's is the best one around

But uh... support local businesses?

[pseudo aurora]

haha for sure

[sour oar]

[pseudo aurora]

only downside is, now the game wont launch haha

[sour oar]

What'd you do

You only deleted shaders_cache right?

[pseudo aurora]

no tellin, one sec

correct

[sour oar]

Well that one I can't see tbh

What does it say?

Anyway, my bloom settings since you wanted em

[pseudo aurora]

bad node in heap stack trace

[sour oar]

Hmmmm

[pseudo aurora]

i think i got something, one sec

[sour oar]

Godspeed

[pseudo aurora]

ok, i'm back in

had to run regular anomaly to repop default shaders i'm assuming?

just started it, exited out then ran it through MO2

[sour oar]

Hm

Shouldn't need to do that but if it works

[pseudo aurora]

haha its all looking good. the selection in the .ini seems to working and all

[sour oar]

[pseudo aurora]

now, where would one find the hippo reshade if they were so inclined?

[sour oar]

Under #1035807043933720576

In the pinned message is everything

[pseudo aurora]

got it, i'll probably try that after i try this one

[sour oar]

THOUGH if you are looking for an autumn based reshade I beg for you to check out mine too support local businesses

Hippo's covers like, all grounds tbf

[pseudo aurora]

i will literally try any and all so long as my pc runs it haha

where can i try yours?

[sour oar]

Also in #1035807043933720576

When I mean pinned message btw

I mean of the reshade. You have to search through under Graphics for it

[pseudo aurora]

good deal, i'll check it out.

[sour oar]

So like, if I wanted hippo's stuff

I'd go to Hippo reshade in mods posting, and click the pins there

[sour oar]

[pseudo aurora]

genuinely appreciate you helping an old head through the muck n mire of managing mods/addons

[sour oar]

No worries at all

I only wish I could've explained it more clearly lol

[pseudo aurora]

if only you knew how much i feel for you, knowing the info but trying to find the best way to present it

not an easy task

[sour oar]

Yup

[pseudo aurora]

vibrant autumn reshade?

[sour oar]

That's the one

[pseudo aurora]

good deal, i've got it noted now

has anyone made anything with changing climate?

[sour oar]

Indeed they have

Like from autumn to winter?

Well actually it depends cause I'm not fully sure but

It's either a mix between autumn or winter or it changes from late autumn to snowy stuff

Can't remember which

[pseudo aurora]

yeah, i saw that in the options for GAMMA there are moonphases

i figured if they have that there are probably season changes also

[sour oar]

If you check #custom-textures

You can go to fabio conte's profile on moddb

Then to addons

And install Autumn Season Redux

Texture pack that should do what you're looking for. Don't know if there are reshades for it though

Hippo's would work well with it I'd imagine

[pseudo aurora]

nice, i'm obviously pretty new to gamma, but it is ridiculously impressive what the community has got

[viral prawn]

OH MY GOD I DINDT

AHAHAH

my bad x_x

[sour oar]

Everyone, quick, laugh!

[viral prawn]

[sour oar]

[viral prawn]

My linked mods/games were all fucked up too so I guess a good moment to fix those

[sour oar]

It’s like a spiral

But hey

Better finding out now than later

[rugged wasp]

Hey guys, new here, any recommendation for a reshade/texture pack to make the game a bit more colorful?

[swift robin]

you may be looking for golden autumn redux

[tough gorge]

Quick question which reshades make GAMMA look the best?
Performance isn't an issue

[devout whale]

#1036172060969410590 fr

[tough gorge]

Does it have an installation guide? Cuz last time I tried to install a shader i broke my game lol

[devout whale]

the text message is in the archive

[tough gorge]

Epic , thanks mate

[devout whale]

@tough gorge

there was an update several hours ago, those screenshots were taken before the update

[tough gorge]

Did it change with the update?

[devout whale]

iirc he improved the sun rays

[mild dome]

Turns out what I mainly needed to do for over-bright clouds was raise the Dynamic Tonemap modifier for sun hemi in non-clear and stormy weather

so now the ground isn't so dark and the tonemapping doesn't blow things out

There's no way the terrain would be that dark during a storm if the sky wasn't

[vapid field]

How to install this: #custom-textures message

I want to install golden autmn redux I downloaded it from the google drive, but can't add it with MO2?

[mild dome]

You should just be able to click the "install mod from archive" button in the top left

[vapid field]

I get this

[mild dome]

Did you try clicking the arrow next to Golden Autumn Redux, you just need to make whichever folder contains gamedata the "anomaly" folder in the right click menu

[vapid field]

There is no gamedata folder?

[mild dome]

I see the problem, you need to download it from Moddb, the google drive just has an update

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

[mild dome]

The db folder works the same as gamedata though, you'd do something like this

[vapid field]

okay thanks, got that, so I will download the moddb, install that then use the update to replace files I thinkl

[mild dome]

You've got it. It'll be the "merge" option in MO2 when you install the update

[vapid field]

okay, I would've pressed 'replace'

thanks for your help

[mild dome]

It tells you what the options do, "Replace" replaces the entire mod with the new one, Merge combines them and overwrites with the new files.

[pseudo aurora]

is there any chance anyone would be willing to assist in gettings hippos pack working for me? i tried last night but after i finished the sky was black

[safe hemlock]

does this come with a reshade? or somethin

[tidal marlin]

any specific values that youve found work best? this issue bugs me hard

[mild dome]

Probably needs further tweaking but currently I have the rain and storm sliders around 0.75-0.8, I'll check next time I'm in-game

[vapid field]

Would it ever be possible to create a graphics mod that removes the grey horizons on max draw distance?

[mild dome]

It's partially a problem with the skies, there's a recent mod that helps on moddb right now.

[thick tendon]

Yeah, this one, but it wasn't there last I checked: #📎mods-added-for-next-build message

[mild dome]

They changed the name

[thick tendon]

ah yes, found it: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sky-black-line-begone

[frank frost]

I had some default reshade settings when i installed the game, but recently they vanished on me. I mainly was using the contrast saturation brightness one, does anyonw know how to get them back? Referring to the default reshade settings.

[thick tendon]

Go to your Anomaly directory and look for ini files, if you have something like ReShadePreset.ini that's likely where they are. If you installed GAMMA (i'd presume so as you're here) then it'll use a different preset (G.A.M.M.A.Reshade.ini).

[frank frost]

I see them in anomaly/bin

When I press home and select it, none of the shaders show up

Maybe I should install some custom shaders?

[thick tendon]

you can simply install the latest version of reshade ontop of the gamma install without an issue.

in the installation dialogs you can then select every shader pack if desired

[meager sigil]

Hello, how do I disable the annoying blur effect whenever I look through scopes and my binoculars?

[sour oar]

That might be related to SSS

You can play around with it in MCM

[meager sigil]

Alright, I disabled the "Shader Based 2D Scopes support" and that did it. Thank you sir/miss.

[primal verge]

!dof you could have just

[void depot]

It's the new DOF (Depth Of Field) effect. You can turn it off:

1. Open the game
2. Go in Mod Configuration Menu
3. Search SSS Settings
4. Disable whatever options you don't like and/or move sliders to the left

[thick tendon]

you want to adjust the dof options, not disable 2d scopes

[meager sigil]

I only see one button in the SSS Settings and it's the activate/deactivate 2d scopes support button. Can you tell me where to adjust dof options?

[mild dome]

That disables SSS's dof or blur during those scopes, most likely

[sour oar]

There’s two categories

[mild dome]

so that's probably fine, but dof is the next section down lol

[sour oar]

When you click SSS settings, two additional options are available

Just click on the other mini-category and it’ll open

To a bunch of numbers you can adjust

[sour oar]

When was the last time you updated?

Btw send a screenshot of what your GAMMA main menu looks like, I need to check smth

[sour oar]

Aha

You don’t have the modified EXEs

You need to do a full install update

[meager sigil]

How often do you do full install updates?

[sour oar]

When Grok says to in #📢announcements

[meager sigil]

Alright.. will do just that.

[sour oar]

I usually do GAMMA only mods updates for the hot fixes and such but I do a full install each time Grok says “do a full install”

[meager sigil]

It fixed most of my problems, thanks! 😄

[wispy burrow]

Aye. I just updated and decided to see if I could run a bit more smoothly. Went thru the optimizations. Disabled Jaku. Gamma compilation and ss shaders. But I loaded up and it's incredibly dark

ok no. those are back on. I think the update derped me up.

Sid's bunker. any ideas?

[wispy burrow]

It's the Screen Space Shaders. Need that mod

[sinful hazel]

im trying to get aggressor to work but r2_sun_lumscalse_hemi keeps resetting to 1.3

anyone know how to fix

[sour oar]

Disabled Jaku?

[sinful hazel]

maybe their is a ! command for this

!aggressor

nope

[mild dome]

Clear your shader cache

[tawdry vapor]

Disable dynamic tonemap mod

[sinful hazel]

Yes, somebody helped me in general chat

Thanks anyway

[brazen sinew]

Does anyone else have problems having black screenshots and having a black save game preview image with reshade active?

[drowsy pecan]

can anyone explain to me why there is no reshade found?? im trying to install the GAMMA EXT and im having trouble for some reason its not loading the profile correctly and just says loading default reshades instead. idk what im missing.

[tulip heart]

For anyone having issues with disco lights/colors constantly changing whenever you run/look around, open the reshades menu and untick this. Immediately fixed it. I also did delete shaders_cache just in case it didnt do anything.

[shut stump]

helooo could someone please point me in direction of where i can download the hippo reshader pretty please?

[sour oar]

Yup no worries

#1036172060969410590 message

Bam

[shut stump]

ty!

[shut stump]

i only have a 1080 am i wishing to much that these shaders will not turn my potato into fries?

[sour oar]

You can only use the shader parameters and it should have little effect on your game

[shut stump]

[shut stump]

thank youuuu

[glacial spear]

has anyone tried latest majestic weather fx? I am testing it now and game looks so dark (shadowed areas and interiors are pitch black). It did not used to be like this 2 updates ago

[mild dome]

Yeah some shaders do that, not sure why.

It's why my reshade only has a few

[oblique ridge]

Wait im new here so does the mod have areshade by default or not

[ashen jacinth]

it has a default GAMMA reshade but you can add your own

[brazen sinew]

Oh okay so it isn't just me then, I did wonder why

[tall spoke]

I think it is pretty?

[sour oar]

Looks nice ya I am a fan

[tall spoke]

😎 maybe a little too much reflection on the ground

[sterile ermine]

what settings do you guys put FXAA and SMAA at in reshade?

running RTGI

[sour oar]

Don’t use em

That’s about all I can contribute

[upper spindle]

how do i update the reshade ? , every time i go in it tells me to update to newer version but when i use the reshade setup i can’t find the exe

[sour oar]

Don’t worry about it

You don’t have to update

But if you want to you just browse and then go to Anomaly/bin and select whichever version you use

[upper spindle]

thank you 😄

[spice hollow]

What mod is that for the hands? Wouldn't mind knowing your reshade / weather / texture pack either, just a simple question really

[swift robin]

Grainy/pixelated trees any advice on fixing this.

I built my pc very high end. The game is maxed out. I have dabbled in game/mod dev and mainly do skyrim stuff now. I'm sure there is a fix for this on the stalker side of things. I thought I may of fixed it but then it reverted back. I'm using Base stalker SMAA at very high but even with AA at 8x either way still keeps these pixelated grainy trees. Now I could add a blur via reshade but it causes unwanted effects and somewhat masks it. I think it's to do with a sharpness applied. If anyone has fixed this lmk.

[thick tendon]

Greetings fellow Todd appreciator.. I don't use any game AA, only SMAA at max. In my experience, it greatly helps to use trees with actual leaves. There will still be a bit of shimmer but it's easy to ignore, even if you're used to having TAA.

[swift robin]

Yeah I set my TAA off and am using SMAA on very high but maybe I’m crazy and it’s not working at all. I’m starting cordon for example I mean all trees are like EXTREMELY grainy and pixelated

Is there another setting causing this?

For a second I swear it didn’t do it and then I reloaded and it was back. Even without leaves I’ve seen others look fine mine is way to weird like when sharpness is to high

Could use reshade completely off and I could try just vanilla anomaly issue remains :/

[thick tendon]

The game AA is MSAA, not TAA btw. There's no other setting that directly causes that but if you're using reshades with cranked up sharpness that'll definitely exacerbate things.

[swift robin]

I’m just using the base reshade config that comes with gamma. Ah I didn’t realize it wasn’t TAA but still I’m not sure why

[thick tendon]

You can send me your user.ltx and I can take a look but it’ll be a bit.

[swift robin]

Is there something worth changing in the ltx

A sharpness or tweak that’s advised ?

[thick tendon]

No but I can cross check it against mine to see what differs.

[thick tendon]

Alternatively try posting a screenshot of the issue if it happens statically and not only in motion

[manic sage]

@echo hawk how many effects?

[echo hawk]

bam

its not perfect, since im still a noob. but oracle had a good base already from dyn. then i worked from there

[manic sage]

Woah dm this to me

[echo hawk]

i have to sent you a friend request for that right? im also not using discord all that often haha

[manic sage]

just messaged you

[rich sentinel]

Also interested, didn't get time to tweak reshade

[naive linden]

Your game looks so high res and crispy holy cow

[echo hawk]

if you want real crispy tho, look at hipposr reshade. but for your information, im using x2 anti aliasing in the games settings and then the reshade takes care of the rest. and sometimes its just a matter of taking a good picture at the right angle that makes the game look better than it actually is.

[swift robin]

how to reshade/ update to 5.5.2

[edgy trellis]

anyone know how to disable depth of field? when i try to disable it in the game settings it just turns right back on

[gritty turtle]

mcm > sss > Dof

[edgy trellis]

and I'm not sure why but everything like trees and bushes are super pixelated and grainy if I'm not standing right next to it

[edgy trellis]

alright thanks

a little hard to tell but it seems like everything in the distance of my game is pixelated and at a lower resolution then what i see in other peoples screenshots and im not sure how to fix it

[sour oar]

Sharpness :)

[upper spindle]

when you go use the reshade setup and have to find exe click on the anomaly bin folder and then the exes will show up

[edgy trellis]

How do I change this? Even when I turn off my reshade it’s still like that

[sour oar]

Depends. There’s a lot of ReShade effects that provide it

My personal favourite is SmartSharp but

To each their own

[edgy trellis]

Alright I’ll check it out, cuz it just seems like everyone’s trees and foliage are alot less pixelated then mine. everything has a seizure when I move lmao

[swift robin]

thx , but I`m afraid it may fuck up the framerate

[runic crow]

good evening is it possible to change this shadow effect on my equipment please?

[sour oar]

Hm…. What ReShade you usin?

[runic crow]

those that come standard with gamma.

[sour oar]

Right so, the issue is that your equipment is really blurred yeah?

[runic crow]

yes and I don't know where it can come from !

[sour oar]

Right well

I think it might be an issue with the SSS mod

Seems to be common this new update, but I’m not sure why

(not this issue specifically, I just mean generally issues with it seem common)

!dof

[void depot]

It's the new DOF (Depth Of Field) effect. You can turn it off:

1. Open the game
2. Go in Mod Configuration Menu
3. Search SSS Settings
4. Disable whatever options you don't like and/or move sliders to the left

[sour oar]

Go up to step 3 and then send a screenshot of what you see

[sour oar]

Try turning these ones off

As in sliding them to the left

[runic crow]

I'm going to try it but it seems to me that I had tried before, thank you

[thick tendon]

If you want no dof for general walking around just 0 out the bottom 2 sliders. The top ones are about aiming. The bottom checkboxes are about specific actions.

The side blur is being controlled by the second set or sliders.

[primal verge]

If only there was an option to have dof apply to the gun only, without bluring out the sides of the peripheral vision

[sour oar]

Oh boy if only

It’s called DOF_Near.fx

Or DOF_Far? Not sure, but it’s DEFINITELY a ReShade effect.

[primal verge]

Ye but i have reshade outright disabled

[sour oar]

Welp

Then keep wishing my guy

[primal verge]

[thick tendon]

There is? Just set the blur intensity and peripheral blur to 0 for the second set of sliders. The top set you can tune for aiming only. As far as DOF settings for the rest of the actions, it requires editing the script itself.

Or do you mean something else outside of aiming specifically?

[sour oar]

He means blurring only the stuff you’re holding but everything else is completely unaffected, I imagine

Which can be achieved fairly easily through ReShade

[thick tendon]

that would look pretty weird though

[sour oar]

Eh. You can change the intensity of the blur to be very slight

I just don’t like DoF in general but I believe it’s to achieve the look that you’re focusing on what’s ahead of you instead of your gun and hands

[thick tendon]

my feeling is that it was oriented such that the gun itself was being focused on but i could see it the other way i guess

i generally crank the settings down myself, it's too over the top as the settings are out of the box

[sour oar]

No no there’s different ways to make DoF work, you can obviously invert it yeah

I don’t like the settings that come with SSS, if I use DoF it’s through reshade

[thick tendon]

Same, I use ADOF for DOF control in general. Just for the SSS stuff I dial it down.

[cloud island]

That's how NVGs work IRL

[sour oar]

Oh that’s neat then

More clear the further out it goes?

[tender elbow]

Which one of the jaku's shaders are on by default?

[silent cairn]

1.2

[primal verge]

How's progress with 1.3 rewrite?

[silent cairn]

I felt like I was going backwards with 1.3

But I've been tinkering

[primal verge]

Invest in gorilla tape, just to be sure

[eager glen]

hello, could someone tell me how to revert to vanilla gamma shaders and textures?

[polar widget]

Anyone know why I still get intense blur when I disable SSS?

[lean shale]

this may sound stupid but you did disable DoF in the visual>advanced settings ye?

[jagged saffron]

Is there anyway to make Reshade and 3D scoped play nice together?

RTGI and 3d Scopes I mean

[thick tendon]

Not sure about 3d scopes specifically, but you might look into scope_factor 1.0 - I know it fixes depth buffer related issues when using RTGI and the SSS scopes support

Although if I'm not mistaken this is more about 2d scope support, not 3d scopes specifically.. What issue are you having with the latter?

[jagged saffron]

Might actually be 2D scopes. Just a lot of ghosting when I zoom in.

yeah, that was the issue. Thanks.

[indigo dune]

any1 got Hippos Reshade & Shaders intall Discord link?

cant seem to find it]

[ripe pier]

could someone please remind me of the directory path to update reshade?

Well that is subjective. Do you prefer the dead zone look, a winter look, lush green colours or vibrant autumns?

[safe hemlock]

ehh autumns but I can't get gold autaum to work you know what Ima just make a seperate regular anomaly folder with all my favorite mods and some reshades like roadside

[scarlet meteor]

I also can't get autumn to work, It tells me the mod wasn't set up correctly in MO2 does anybody know why/how to fix?

[mild dome]

You need to download the main file from moddb

[naive swan]

Anyone has recommendation for what reshade to use with this texture? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/project-inverno1

[sour oar]

Hippo has a great one for it

[steel bison]

Name?

Of the reshade

And to use it

What do I turn off

[glacial spear]

do you have a big harddisk? Then you can use this ext profile to install all the seasons https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1046191308403916890/1046191308403916890 it will install everything for you automatically. In the coming weeks it will be possible to install each season separately for less disk space usage

[safe hemlock]

I swear expedition best reshade for stalker anomaly and gamma as a whole.

[swift robin]

can anyone help me with installinng retexture mods

like autumun overhaul etc

[scarlet meteor]

thank you for the response @glacial spear unfortunately for me I only want to use golden autumn redux. I used it a few months back but now it doesn't work properly. I have the main 3.8GB file from moddb and the update but they never install correctly, meanwhile something like INVERNO works fine.

[glacial spear]

what do you mean they never install correctly? are you using this? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/project-autumn-gold-aka-golden-autumn-redux

now that I noticed I need to update the ext profile with the new link

[scarlet meteor]

yes sir that is the file I use

When I install it, it has the red X and says there's no valid game data even though I install through MO2

I have also tried downloading the update separate, merging, and replacing the main file but still nothing

[glacial spear]

there must be something in the path inside the zip, I will check now

[scarlet meteor]

thank you stalker

[glacial spear]

ok, it's a custom package and does not follow the stalker standard packaging supported by MO. This is what I get when I try install the zip in MO

[scarlet meteor]

This is the same error I get sorry for not sending a ss earlier

[glacial spear]

what you should do, is a bit tricky at first but easy after all.

1. Unzip the archive

2. create a new folder somewhere else, call it with another name ** GoldenAutumnRedux **for example.

3. Inside this new folder copy the content of 01 Golden Autum Redux

4. then copy the content of the 02 Golden Autumn Redux Main Menu etc. into the new folder (overwrite if needed but I don't think it is required here)

5. do the same with the update archive (this time overwrite if requested)

6. At the end of all the copying, the inside of the new folder, ** GoldenAutumnRedux ** must have two folders: gamedata and db

7. zip the new folder making sure the gamedata and db is at the root of the archive

8. install in MO

[scarlet meteor]

Thanks I will give it a try in a few minutes, do I HAVE to use Golden Autumn Redux Main Menu file? or is it optional

[glacial spear]

it's optional

[scarlet meteor]

only because I kinda like Gamma main menu

[left sinew]

Does Expedition work well with GAMMA?

[thick goblet]

any help on why all my game looks like this now?

[glacial spear]

you can install it https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037753021322506240/1037753021322506240

[left sinew]

Thank you

[paper timber]

Hi, I'm relatively new to the game and has been using the default reshader for this whole time. I'm want to bring the graphic to the next step by using better reshaders. I'm running this game with my laptop with 1060 though... Thus I'm not sure which reshader is best for me... please give me some suggestion 🙂

[uncut python]

hello, I am looking for something green and lush, where should I start?

[lean shale]

Disabling Grok's idea of the dreadful zone might be a good start

#╭📖faq message

[uncut python]

Yeah I already disabled it

Still too yellowish

[lean shale]

I don't know about "lush and green", but hippo's reshade adds a bit more color and warmness

[uncut python]

Okay thanks!

[lean shale]

You should check the screenshots before you install @uncut python

[uncut python]

I will

[glacial spear]

vanilla trees are short of green and lush, are you sure you disabled the groks's deadfull zone stuff correctly?

also you could try the Summer Season Redux. I can post the link to the addon but there is no instructions to install it, you should have an idea about what to do. Or if you have enough disk space, install it though my installer https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1046191308403916890 all the seasons

[uncut python]

I disabled like it was said 4 addons or so, I will look at summer season, thanks

[tough ermine]

Is the expedition reshade compatible?

[mortal shuttle]

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

[swift robin]

im using stalker gamma, and im using the default shader that comes with the mod. any recommendations for some reallly goood looking settings?

[pine kindle]

How can i disable the reshades?

[mortal shuttle]

Press Home in game and disable all of the reshade effects

[glacial spear]

there is lots of reshade for you to choose from in #1035807043933720576

unless you want to just tweak the gamma ones but I don't see the point when you can try ready made presets. tuning reshade is not that easy for beginners

[echo socket]

I can't get EXP to work

For some reason, It won't recognize my addons folder, saying it doesn't have one to pull from (For whatever reason)

[glacial spear]

ask in #1035978638924976138 please

[grand glade]

Any settings / reshades that make the game look better?

[mortal shuttle]

all of them, thats what reshades do

as for settings, upping your resolution can make the game look insanely good

[scarlet meteor]

does anybody know if eden's reshade still works?

[sour oar]

Sure does

Though regrettably it is not the best option anymore

[scarlet meteor]

Oh damn everybody used to exclusively recommend that one, what's the new reshade wave?

[glacial spear]

no reshade like me, exp shaders ftw

[scarlet meteor]

Can I use EXP on top of Golden Autumn Redux?

[sour oar]

hippo reshade is king nowadays

he has nailed everything except golden autumn redux

and i say this sort of honestly

mostly just because i want to share my reshade BUT

cough nightcat's vibrant autumn reshade is available in #1035807043933720576 cough

[glacial spear]

more likely install whatever seasons on top of EXP, yes you can, just watch out for shaders that might overwrite the exp ones and particles

[sour oar]

[glacial spear]

last time I tried Hippo's the difference was so subtle that I was finding hard to tell when they were disabled or not.

I only had a glance through it though, so my feedback is really anecdotal. For sure they are light compared to Eden's that sucks out 20fps flat

[sour oar]

Hippo's is more about the shader params, I think the reshade is just bloom and TFAA.. but I also don't use his stuff so I can't say that much

[glacial spear]

I guess is more gamma oriented and tuned for that. For instance I do not use the dynamic tonemap extender (kind of dislike it) and I heard them to talk a lot about that or similar tweaking. So probably I had not the right modlist for Hippos anyway

[manic sage]

It’s changed allot recently. The biggest issue was that my game looked infinitely better compared to what other people were seeing on their end. It came down to the cubemaps that I was using on the side as well as new DTM settings. I include cubemaps now by default.

#╟📸screenshots message From the new update.

[glacial spear]

I will have a look again, the thing is I don't use a reshade after all as I am stuck with the exp shaders still and they are good enough for me. The last reshade I have used was project quantum but I had enough of it, quite annoying in some places (like when you opened the inventory) but overall very distinct and unique

[manic sage]

those screens were without reshade there is a version with and without now.

[glacial spear]

which screens?

[manic sage]

The reshade version is subtle as @sour oar said since its more about the shader params now.

[manic sage]

this

[sour oar]

Cubemaps you say..

[manic sage]

Yeah they are required for jaku's latest release

[sour oar]

Oh interesting

[manic sage]

but you can just use them on their own as they change skyboxes and such

[sour oar]

Hmmmmmmmmm yeah I'm definitely falling behind on reshade stuff haha

[manic sage]

#1045307396291051531 message

[mint owl]

Yup my Reshade is an old relic now xD

[manic sage]

Im still waiting for that collab on a stylized preset

and to show you how to tweak shader params

[mint owl]

Well I'd be definitely interested, you have way more knowledge than I do x)

[glacial spear]

uhmm interesting, but exp shaders have their own shader params I am not sure whether I can change some of them. I will give it a try. I am quite happy with visuals overall, now that I have the abnormal weather they really make some nice colors and tones to the maps

[sour oar]

I mean, I don't plan on switching from mine to someone else's, but it's definitely interesting to see new things pop up

[manic sage]

Oh yeah if you're happy then dont change anything

[mint owl]

But I have another essential addon to finish, which takes priority over everything I can think of

[manic sage]

do tell

[sour oar]

[mint owl]

LTTZ-DLTX questlines for all factions

[manic sage]

oooooooooooooooo

[sour oar]

Hm

How would that work tho?

LTTZ as Mono?

[mint owl]

Redemption arc kind of

[sour oar]

Ah

So like the deconvert mod?

Neat

[glacial spear]

well we really need more stories. so yes!!

[sour oar]

Gunna try this out btw

[mint owl]

Not really, as a player, more like breaking free and seeking revenge against the Zone as it's the only thing you have left

[manic sage]

Very nice

[sour oar]

Where does one find PBR cubemaps?

[mint owl]

I honestly have 85% of the dialogues done

But I need to implement some stuff, especially for Bandit and Renegade questlines

[manic sage]

SO YOU ARE BACK

lmao

[mint owl]

Nope xD

[manic sage]

oh

[sour oar]

I think he's writing dialogues like on his phone lol

[manic sage]

oh

[mint owl]

That was my work done before I had to go

[manic sage]

I see

[sour oar]

Ah

[mint owl]

I can't really work here I don't have the dialogues files

[sour oar]

@manic sage

[manic sage]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/nicer-reflections-cubemaps-for-enhanced-shaders

[mint owl]

I'll be back to work on this addon after the first week of February

[sour oar]

Dope ty

[mint owl]

If I manage to pull that off, GAMMA's replay value will be tenfold

From 6 to 12 factions is huge

All six "new" factions essentially follow the same path as the main six, but with unique dialogues that reflect the player character's personality and faction, a bandit will never speak the same way a Monolith or ISG would

[sour oar]

Ya that IS dope

How would ISG work tho?

[mint owl]

Through working with mercs leader

[sour oar]

Cause starting as an ISG takes place after Living Legend and Mortal Sin completes

[mint owl]

They are allies if you start isg

[sour oar]

So I’m just a little curious on that end

[mint owl]

Oh you can do LL and MS for sure, then the ISG questline or carry on with Operation Afterglow

ISG and Military are the most complicated one tbh

To do

[sour oar]

Oh so at the beginning you have a choice about either pursuing LTTZ or just going straight to Afterglow?

[mint owl]

I think it's either you start the cycle LL and MS then OA, or LL, MS then the exclusive ISG questline

[sour oar]

Ahhh

[mint owl]

But the problem is

[sour oar]

Dope

That sounds hard to code

[mint owl]

ISG or Military questlines are meant to be standalone

If you play it and the main story, it overlaps in an ugly way

Got to think of something about that, like rewriting the dialogues there, or lock the player out of one of the two if one is chosen, says you choose the Military exclusive questline, it would lock you out of LL/MS/OA questlines, and the other way around

[sour oar]

Yeah that’s what I thought you’d do with ISG

[mint owl]

It's honestly the simpler more logical way

And less time consuming

[sour oar]

You either choose to start immediately at just the regular ISG questline or you can do LTTZ normally with the normal Operation Afterglow, but you can’t change after you switch

[mint owl]

Yup, seems much better this way

Same for Monolith, you'd have yo earn your way to finally get the opportunity to hunt Strelok

As it's meant to be the hardest faction in my book

[sour oar]

Monolith is always the most difficult

Don’t even get me started on going to Red Forest on high populations as a Monolith

[mint owl]

I was thinking, maybe make it so you have to finish the DoctorX questline before LTTZ or something

But the most fun one dialogues and gameplay wise will be Bandits in my opinion

[sour oar]

Really excited to see what you come up with

[mint owl]

So do I, will probably be my biggest work for GAMMA

[sour oar]

I swear I saw someone with this issue a while ago but never experienced it until now.. what's with the skybox showing up inside?

[rich sentinel]

Are you running GTR by any chance?

[sour oar]

Not that I know

[rich sentinel]

I only had this issue with GTR, I guess some textures don't run well with SSS

[sour oar]

Hm ya I suppose. Only really had this issue in Jupiter so I guess it's cursed lol

[rich sentinel]

Check Freedom base, the roof there also gives that

[sour oar]

Aye will do, when I can

[manic sage]

I had that with autumn harmony

[manic sage]

Had it with autumn harmony

[sour oar]

I don’t use that tho

[manic sage]

what do you use?

[sour oar]

The old golden Autumn redux

[manic sage]

it most likely uses the same textures

for buildings and such

disable it and see if you have that same issue

[mint owl]

@manic sage @rich sentinel and @sour oar Do you guys have Dead Zone and Frozen Zone downloaded from before they were recently taken down ? Like the latest versions of it

[glacial spear]

I do have them but why not ask to him directly first. If people go ask him he'll probably realize it was not so good idea to take them down after all

the ice implementation is amazing, it even adds a bit of sliding inertia to your movement

[mint owl]

Honestly it's not about him realizing that, but what bothers him is the lack of recognition/appreciation imo

[glacial spear]

Sure but what do you expect after just a week of the thing being live? Taking the whole thing down only hurts him as no more people can download the addon and show gratitude. Also he maybe should stop scolding everyone who go ask him for help to install the thing, sure many people don't read the instructions but still one has to be committed when sharing things (software especially) that needs attention even with those that seems at first glance not deserving

[mint owl]

I can understand the pain though, most modders don't really get much appreciation of their work

I agree with your point, I went through the most dummy proof instructions I could write before and it still wasn't enough sometimes, but taking down definitely won't help for sure, especially in a single week

Such a shame because clearly it's great work

[glacial spear]

Yes. I can share with you the addons if you want in a private link

[mint owl]

Sure thing, but maybe when I'll come back, if you still have them by now

[mint owl]

I don't reupload work of people, at best I do repacks exclusively for GAMMA's server like Melting Winters and ADEGA do

With proper crediting, always

[glacial spear]

For that you have to deal with him if you want to use his textures for any repack

[mint owl]

Yup, but one thing for sure, not on moddb or anything, only private sharing

I actually hate how moddb is done

[glacial spear]

Back to the authors not being supported that is also moddb fault which over years has not built anything to support mod creator. Not even a popup to remind the user who download, to rate the addon

It's rubbish honestly, I am myself at fault as most of the time I forgot to vote the addon as well

[mint owl]

To add on that, the voting system is completely rigged, it's up to anyone's whim, and some are just downvoting because they can, which hurts the mod's visibility and especially its credibility

[glacial spear]

All traffic that moddb gest is thanks to mods creators at the end, I don't understand why such simple observation is not enough to warrant some sort of rethinking on the site design. I guess the site is too old to actually make any meaningful improvements

I wonder why stalkers modders did not moved to nexusmod since ages ago

[mint owl]

Last time I posted on it was my first attempt at a full LTTZ factions questlines unlock, not the best for sure but people expected it to work with everything without issues x)

On Anomaly, GAMMA and EFP

Nexus has its own issues but definitely more manageable

[glacial spear]

so good news, Ivan is back. Our dear XXXX Zone stuff is available. now back to update those damn links in my ext profile once again lol

[hollow ore]

hi i got some problems with the screen space shaders mod is there anybody that knows about how to mess with it

[cedar isle]

Quick question, will GTR work with this modpack? Or will it cause a shit ton of issues

[leaden linden]

Its fine, just don't use the "shader" folder from GTR. Just textures.

[weary forum]

Still crashes

GTR (only textures) causes a bad node in heap crash, at least for me

I'm probably gonna be doing another full install anyways tho

Because SSS no have no puddles anymore since last time I did a full install

[glacial spear]

that crash is normally random, at least for me normally one just relaunch the game after the crash and it's fine . unless it crashes to you consistently with GTR, then it might not be the same error

[tawdry vapor]

reload pc

[hollow ore]

hi i have a probelm where the SSR dosnt work properly there are no reflections on weapon and arms only on water and puddels

any one that can help bin trying to solve it for a long ime

[spice herald]

tech noob here, is reshading the game a process or is it just "beep. boop. done"?

I want to reshade but I dont trust my abilities to have it be done smoothly

[sour oar]

Depends

Most reshades have different instructions of varying length

/complexity

[spice herald]

I basically just want a bump in graphics, no need for the ultra omega reshade mod

[primal verge]

I will tell you this much, it ain't plug and play
There is always some never ending personal preference tweaking

[sour oar]

You can just use Hippo's shader params then

[sour oar]

Wellll

The shader params are just. Drop a file into your game, and then use a command while in-game, boom, done

It also shouldn't affect FPS any

[spice herald]

I will attempt it

my rig is good so even if it did it would be ok

[primal verge]

It actually does, but not for everyone

[sour oar]

(shouldn't)

[primal verge]

So far i've noticed that those who have amd cpu's, gain 20-30 fps from disabling reshade all together... While others see no change whether they on or off reshade

[sour oar]

Doesn't mean it doesn't, just means it probably won't

Ah, well. Shader params don't have anything to do with reshade itself

Anyhow, let me link the thing

[spice herald]

yes please

[sour oar]

#1036172060969410590 message

[primal verge]

Also wait a bit before downloading hippo reshade

He's planning on releasing update soon (today actually)

[spice herald]

ah aight

yeah I can wait, its no rush

[sour oar]

Didn't he just do that tho?

[primal verge]

You're right, disregard what i said

[sour oar]

Wait if you'd like obviously but shader params really are just

Put file into folder
Load game
Do command

[sour oar]

Lol

[spice herald]

really are just
<-----me, clueless

[primal verge]

Was busy in support that i've missed the update message

[sour oar]

[spice herald]

do I just paste the files into mo2?

wait nvm I'll read up on the thing

I can probably figure it out

[sour oar]

If you do need help, ask in the thread for it

[spice herald]

yuhh

[primal verge]

hippos reshade folder has install instructions on where to put files, and what to type in the console

[spice herald]

yeah ive downloaded it all now, but I will install it later

tis very helpful that theres text to follow

[visual parcel]

hey yall i think this counts as something for this channel and i havent been able to get any help in the support chats so

anyone know what to do here?

its from https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/yet-another-winter-mod#comments

[tidal marlin]

i dont think this texture pack is compatible with gamma homie

if you want a snowy zone, try this one https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autumn-season-redux1

[tidal marlin]

or you can try this one pal #custom-textures message

[visual parcel]

Thank you very much

I'll try later

[craggy nexus]

Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to reset vanilla GAMMA reshade to default ?
I wanted to test some things and, being me, forgot to take notes about the default values.

[glacial spear]

launch the grok installer and click install only gamma addons, it will patch your anomaly folders to gamma default state

make a copy of user.ltx if you need because it will be patched that as well

[craggy nexus]

Oops. Too late. I guess I'll lose my key bindings ?

[glacial spear]

have you done it already? well yes

[craggy nexus]

Yup. Already wanted to do that, so I was ready lol

[glacial spear]

or you could do manually next time by accessing the patch files from here Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches

[craggy nexus]

GAMMA Reshade.ini ?

[glacial spear]

Or use my GAMMA-EXT tool which can mange your settings automatically, It means you can always apply back your keybindings even after a gamma update. In the next version will keep track of all your MCM settings as well

[glacial spear]

yes that is one that contains the presets

[craggy nexus]

Hmmm... Didn't work. Values are still messed up.

And key binds are still there, for that matter.
Maybe I could just find a vanilla version of G.A.M.M.A.Reshade.ini to replace it manually.

Well, if someone has one, I'll gladly take it. I'll see if I can find one by myself...

[craggy nexus]

Well... In fact, I only have one thing that's messed up. If anyone using vanilla reshade can tell me the values for AmbientLight.fx (alInt + alThreshold values)

Should be 1.750 for alInt (iirc)
The one I really need would be alThreshold. Right now it's 50.000 which I'm pretty sure is not okay.

[glacial spear]

just copy over this files Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin to the anomaly/bin

it has to work, it's how the installer does everytime

to be sure delete the previous reshade files in Anomaly and copy over the ones from the modpack_patches folder, delete shader cache

[sage flint]

Hello everyone, is there any known ways to make foliage of trees less edgy and smoother?

can't fix this with reshade settings

[craggy nexus]

So, copy Gamma Reshade.ini and paste it in Anomaly's bin file, replacing it ?

[craggy nexus]

Well, I did install only GAMMA addons though. Even tried updating GAMMA data after I saw it didn't work, still nothing. I won't do a full installation, I'd rather live with a messed up setting I can't even detect in game until next patch where I'll have to install it all over again.

[small niche]

Hi guys, do you know how to delete the information on the left side of the screen by chance?

[rugged cloak]

Rs_stats 0 in console

@small niche

[wide shoal]

anyone known a green reshade? I wanna make the game looks like EFT

[glacial surge]

great, tried to install a preset for reshade and accidentally fully uninstalled reshade bc it wasnt working

[sour oar]

Check out DYN's stuff in #1035807043933720576

[hardy lichen]

I cannot for the life of me get ENB to hook on GAMMA or GAMMA EXP, or even on Radiophobia

was gonna try and make a preset

[sour oar]

Don't think it's compatible with the X-ray engine

But alas I know little to nothing about ENB 🤷

[hardy lichen]

is that what STALKER baseline is built off of? I know it was originally made and developed for a short time for base games, but alas, I am sure many engine changes were made to create GAMMA and Radiophobia

[sour oar]

Not sure about the base games, but GAMMA runs off of the Xray engine

[scenic marten]

how do you download the winter mod I mean I all i got was downloading the actual mods but i dont know where to put them or anything

[sour oar]

Which winter mod?

[scenic marten]

project inverno

[sour oar]

#custom-textures message

[scenic marten]

what do it mean about the particle thing like do i copy it or do extract it does it mean to but it IN the folder about it or does it mean the actual three files of the mod have to be above it and how do i launch it do I do it normally of do i do it through a different way

[sour oar]

Uhh okay so let me simplify the steps

[scenic marten]

yes pls this my first time doing mods and stuff at all

[sour oar]

1. Disable "Gardener of the Zone", "Simple Autumn Retexture (No Leaves)", and "Grulags Bushes are Dead"
2. Press Ctrl + M in MO2, choose the Project Inverno mod
3. Move the mod ABOVE "Particles Cinematic VFX3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM" in the load order
4. Launch the game as usual and enjoy

Does that help?

[scenic marten]

thanks so much

[sour oar]

Yeah the way it's worded is a little odd

[scenic marten]

one more thing what MO2 is that the launcher?

[sour oar]

This thing ya

Disregard my modlist cause it is wacky

[scenic marten]

Alr thx that really helps

[sour oar]

Have fun mate

Inverno is great

And if you want a reshade for it, Hippo has an awesome one

[scenic marten]

ill check it out

[glacial surge]

im really confused, when i download and select different presets it doesnt seem to change anything

alternatively when i try to install the custom textures i get this issue

[scenic marten]

what does sorting by priority mean

[sour oar]

Don't worry about it, it should be smaller numbers at the top, bigger numbers at the bottom

If it's not, that's when you need to worry

[scenic marten]

this is so cool

[scenic marten]

where can i find the reshade that hippo made

[sour oar]

#1036172060969410590 message

It's one of the options in the main file

[glacial surge]

can anyone suggest me good settings in the reshades to turn on? since i get errors every time i try literally any custom shader or textures

[scenic marten]

theres so much stuff to download and pick what ones do I pick just to make like Project Inverno better looking and just overall do i download the texture or reshaders idk

[drifting shore]

how do install reshade

[sour oar]

Ask in the same place you got the download

[wide shoal]

sick bro, thx ❤️

[swift robin]

i set sunscale hemi to 1 but after 3-4 secs start to rise up is there a way to fix that and stay to 1

?

[mild dome]

Dynamic Tonemap in the MCM

[torn oak]

someone can explain how get Graupel + I.N.V.E.R.N.O Winter pack?

[swift robin]

are reshades available in the gamma modpack?

[sour oar]

Indeed they are, what are you looking for?

[swift robin]

I just wanna make it look a lot better, I mean the game doesnt look bad but as it is now for some reason it kindve hurts my eye

[swift robin]

I figured out how to reshade using the home key, do you have any recommendations on setting in there though to make the game look better?

[sour oar]

Honestly I recommend to use presets

So you just want an enhanced version of your current game right?

[swift robin]

sorry wdym by that

[sour oar]

Ummm I don't know how much more I can break it down

So, you just want a nicer version of what you currently have?

[swift robin]

I mean yeah I just want the game to look better

idk how to use the shaders effeciently

not sure what half of them even mean

[naive swan]

hey guys, how do I disable reshade?

[sour oar]

Take the .ini’s out of Anomaly/bin

If you’re looking to save FPS, that’s the way

Actually removing the entire ReShade application will do zilch

[sour oar]

I completely forgot about this sorry!! Check out Hippo’s stuff in #1035807043933720576

[hard fulcrum]

hey guys do hip rehade takes alot of fps?

[mortal shuttle]

maybe like 1-2fps

[long abyss]

hey, im wondering if i can just add a new shader mod (agressor reshade) into my files and be done. will i need to disable any mods prior? will it brick my save? etc

just realised its already in the files haha i can just enable it

[sour oar]

Well… not exactly

The mod you can enable is only the ground and grass textures, the actual ReShade is on moddb

[long abyss]

i realised when i launched :(

what mods should i disable before i enable the actual reshhade

[mortal shuttle]

gamma weathers and dynamic tonemapping probably

other than that just follow the instructions on the aggressor reshade moddb page

[long abyss]

okay thank you

[long abyss]

is there a way to search for specific mods in mo2? i cant find dynamic tonemapping

[mortal shuttle]

search bar in the bottom right of the mod list

says filter

[long abyss]

ty

[mortal shuttle]

[long abyss]

@mortal shuttle ty, i got it working. still need to tweak the settings

[long abyss]

took an hour but i got it looking EXACTLY like the screenshots, its fucking awesome

was tired of default gamma's sad little brown wasteland

[wet vine]

anyone know what reshade setting was operatordrewski using?

[mortal shuttle]

None

[glacial surge]

lmao. installed hippo and the associated textures, actually got it working. after 45 minutes of playing i crash on a random headshot, not even the first headshot

[primal verge]

put textures above Particles Cinematic CFX 3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM

[glacial surge]

sorry which mod is textures? the name

[primal verge]

you said you installed the "associated textures"
move those above particles cinematic mod

[glacial surge]

oh lol ADEGA, i didnt even end up installing those

i added the grass tweaks, the new weather/atmospherics, and updated jaku's

i was following the installation steps word for word and it never had a step for the textures so i just forgot about them

[primal verge]

ye that can happen.
move the grass above particles then

[glacial surge]

anything complex for the texture? or just download and install with mo2 and place above that particles mod

might as well add it on now while im fixing shit

my bad it has its own installation instructions

[molten jay]

okay I'm completely lost i don't have much experience with modding at all and I'm trying to figure out how to get a reshader going and I have no idea where to start.

[glacial surge]

the installation guide is pretty straight forward

[molten jay]

where do i find that guide

[glacial surge]

#1036172060969410590 message

just about everything will always be somewhere in #1035807043933720576

[molten jay]

cuz everything is installed and its still muddy and gray and meh

[glacial surge]

the first google drive/download link in the Hippos mod post will have an instructions text

goes over everything except installing textures, but most textures mods have an installation guide on their own individual post

you have to pay attention to the order of things a lot, and any commands it tells you to run

[molten jay]

okay cool thank you i will try to figurer it out

im not very good at any of this

[glacial surge]

holy shit ADEGA is breaking my mo2 lol

hmmm, game looks great and im barely using any of my PCs resources but i stutter quite heavily... any tips?

please game, please use my beefy ass pc's resources

[primal verge]

#🤖bot-commands !stutter, skip 1 2

[glacial surge]

that helped a decent bit, thx

no NVIDIA tho sadly

[glacial surge]

so im noticing a lot of far away/tiny textures and details look grainy and blurry when moving

anti-aliasing is supposed to fix that right? turning it on/off has no effect and im not using RTGI

see many discussions about AA including TFAA, but i cant find where it actually is through searching on here or through google, or through reshade or through mo2 or anything

[manic sage]

https://github.com/JakobPCoder/ReshadeTFAA

[glacial surge]

why is everything so hard to find where is the video explaining depth buffer (or is there also a text guide outside of that readme file?

no clue how tf im supposed to "set that up correctly"

found it from some random reshade tutorial for spiderman lmaooo

so the TFAA works really well, but it darkens everything that needs to be AA'd. so when im standing still the edge of bushes and trees are relatively bright, but then moving they darken a lot (but no grainy/gritty texture so thats good)

[unkempt marten]

anybody know why the ground is shiny even in dry conditions? Screen space shaders mod perhaps? Happened after I updated to latest version

[glacial surge]

so when im moving the game looks perfect, but when i stand still textures look more rough lol

and tfaa seems to be affecting the ui while moving too

[tidal marlin]

the motion estimate fx that tfaa uses to apply its effect isnt perfect, and can introduce some ghosting. ui if affected because reshade applies everything to the scene. you can try increasing motion est. settings, or decreasing the taa slider in tfaa (ideally you want this as low as possible while still maintaining aa effect)

[tidal marlin]

tfaa really only applies its effect when the scene is in motion, which is why it is recommended to apply a smaa or fxaa setting above tfaa

tbh tho my guy if you have the frames to use tfaa in the first place, youre far better off spending them on dsr instead. the aa effect is far better

[swift robin]

We need mutant bears!

[glacial surge]

Oh everywhere I look said tfaa was the way to go. But yeah I tweaked the smaa and fxaa settings wa bunch with no success but I had no clue what I was doing lol

But yeah aside from random stutters that seem unsolvable I have good frames and such so I’ll try out the other one

[tidal marlin]

tfaa needs an update big time before it’s worth the cost of using it. what card are you running? if you can use downsampling like dsr, you won’t need reshade, or in game, aa

[glacial surge]

i only have a radeon rx 5600 xt but its lasted me forever and performs amazing with every game

[tidal marlin]

worth a shot maybe?

[glacial surge]

the only real downside to it ive seen is no nvidia graphics control thing

[glacial surge]

yeah ill def try it, that effect bugged me so much that i just turned off tfaa

even tho it was workin properly while moving

[tidal marlin]

i am unfamiliar with amd but im sure there is a equivalent

[glacial surge]

there kind of is but not rlly

[tidal marlin]

in that case id try playing around with your mipmap bias (maybe try 0.5)

[glacial surge]

its called like adrenaline or something similar, it has profiles for games and such with small boosts but nothing super specialized

[glacial surge]

where do i change that

[tidal marlin]

open console in-game, type in mipmap bias, set the parameter to 0.5 and hit enter

the right command will appear in there once you type it, just select it and hit enter

[glacial surge]

is that a fix for the issue when not moving? or just a general setting to have

[tidal marlin]

it changes detail rendering, which is usually the cause of the aa issues. just copy and paste this, its the right command: r__tf_mipbias 0.5

its kinda brute-force, but it makes a big different. you will see what i mean when you play with it

[glacial surge]

yeah ill prob try that first since amd doesnt have dsr, it has vsr and i need to reinstall all my amd software lol

[tidal marlin]

my fingers are crossed for you pal, good luck

[glacial surge]

Yeah thanks for the help this is one of the few things I have no experience in lol

When it comes to modding

[tidal marlin]

it’s the one issue that got me learning about visuals in this game too.

sparkly trees gtfo lmao

[glacial surge]

i can def see the difference with the mipmap setting but it seemingly makes everything slightly more blurry too

[tidal marlin]

that’s the trade off, maybe try paring different settings with different reshade as options

[glacial surge]

gonna try vsr first

lmao fuck. how do you change resolution outside of the game/with commands

i went a bit too high and now i cant see the settings screen

ope nvm alt+enter works

Yeah idk I mean the higher resolution also helps a little at 1.5x resolution, but 2x resolution makes it choppy/frame loss

is there a way to scale the UI/font to match the new res?

thoughts on this i found on the stalker reddit:

"Hello, just today I solved that problem after many hours and failed attempts. I post this to help you and everyone who experiences this problem because radiophobia is really a great mod and the only SoC with OGSR engine translated into Spanish.

PROBLEM: Pixelated game and horrible vegetation.

Download autumn aurora 2.1and go to "data" folder

Drag the "levels" folder in autumn aurora's "gamedata" to the "levels" folder in radiophobia and replace the items.

With this the pixelation problem is solved. But you can also drag the folders: "details, grnd, trees, water, glass, wood" from "textures" to get better textures and more chords.

I hope it works for you, it worked for me and I'm enjoying the mod; Just in case make a backup first"

[tidal marlin]

using custom texture packs can help, but make sure you only use the ones you find in #custom-textures otherwise they might not be compatible with gamma

sadly you cant scale the font

[glacial surge]

oof idk if its worth it then

[tidal marlin]

nothing to lose

[glacial surge]

nah i mean the VSR not scaling font

[topaz canyon]

what is the best reshade that can be applied to G.A.M.M.A?

[astral kestrel]

there isnt any

it's up to player preference

imo, no need for reshade for a normal natural look

[silent fog]

Hello everyone was hoping if anyone knew why when i try to change a value like lumscale in commands it will change for a second then revert back to what it was originally, Ive been trying to make interiors brighter to work with my shaders.

[tiny plover]

Is there any way to disable reshade entirely?

[tawdry vapor]

Disable dynamic tonemap

[silent fog]

Thank You

[tiny plover]

How do I disable the reflections?

[upbeat chasm]

My CPU usage is 40-60% while GPU is always 90+ how can i take some weight off GPU? Is that reshade options what affects it most?

[zealous crown]

mabe u do not have limited frames? and GPU is trying to produce 5 000/s

[upbeat chasm]

It was limited to 144 as my moniter refresh rate. When i decrease it CPU Usage goes even lower. If i set it to 30, both CPU and GPU are around 40%

[zealous crown]

not sure if right place to post this, but i wonder if using game debug menu, and Weather Editor, i can PERNAMENTLY change how weather looks like? i mean i find some "presets" a little bit less darker than i would like them to be. Is it right tool for this ?

[zealous crown]

I saw i can even make new weather file. Will that file just go to the "weather loop"and just somtimes "Play"?

[hoary kettle]

Where can I find reshade presets? ModDB?

[rugged cloak]

Yeah

The presets are usually just small files you put into the bin folder that use the already installed reshade files in a certain way

[slow badger]

So does GAMMA come with a reshade or is it something i have to activate/install seperatly?

[rugged cloak]

It comes with one but you can always explore other people's presets and change which one you use on the fly

[tight vine]

Anyone like to share their anti-aliasing settings? I'm still getting slight sharpness/jaggies on leaves of trees

[elder ravine]

AA 4x, SMAA High and it looks like this. The small tree branches are still pixelated a bit but I can live with it. I took 2 screenshots with x4 and x8 (same position, same camera angle) and there's no perceivable difference

[tight vine]

thanks for the response - I always find SMAA to be the worst of the AA forms as it essentially puts a slight blur filter over the game. I'll try different methods but still appreciate your reply

[tight vine]

Hey, so for anyone that might be as dumb as me, I realised my anti-aliasing was absolutely fine but in NVIDIA Control Panel my Transparency (see image) was off - this needs to be turned on top get rid of jaggies on leaves and other transparent/alpha channel textures like rain/particles/effects.

[tight vine]

This ended up my final NVIDIA Control Panel settings for anyone interested:

[zealous crown]

Mabe stupid question, but what exe are your settings reffering to?

[tight vine]

Same as your reshade would refer to. If you're unsure what one you're using, bring up task manager whilst the game is running and locate the exe by examining the running processes. Likely it will be the DX11, 10 or 8.

[zealous crown]

so choosing that as a aplication in Nvidia Control panel is not right?

[tight vine]

I went and browsed specifically for the exe, not on my machine rn but will update with what mine says to confirm for you soon

[tight vine]

it can be the non-avx version also but essentially locate the exe itself

[dense blaze]

@tight vine what about your ingame AA settings? is the anti-aliasing and smaa off ingame for this to work or does not matter?

[tight vine]

Dependant on if you are overriding anything the application is doing or if you are using a reshade preset. In my case I cant stand SMAA anyway as it looks like someone smeared jelly over my game instead of actually smoothing out rogue pixels. More advisable to go with other anti-aliasing methods if possible in my opinion.

Also since posting my settings above I've adjusted them to much closer to what Hippobot has for his shaders (see mods section in discord or click here #1035807043933720576) follow his instructions very carefully and you'll have a flawless looking game.

Also for anyone curious if you still experience jitteryness/jaggies (especially when moving) try turning down the Texture MIP Bias slider - the x-ray engine is old and doesn't handle high res textures well. My advice is to turn the MIP Bias slider down a touch and use DSR if you can. This used in addition with some form of AA in reshade will all but remove the jittery/jaggy vibes. Especially from the foliage.

[severe canyon]

does reshade work on the linux version of the game?

[dense blaze]

This is the most helpful advice I've seen so far thanks! Idk what "A touch" means exactly but I'll see if it helps.

[tight vine]

ahh no worries haha, it means slightly - adjust to your liking (higher MIP Bias = more jaggies but sharper textures and lower is the opposite)

[dense blaze]

The current reshade of GAMMA looks too dark, Hippo's look colorful so far

[tight vine]

https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton

[dense blaze]

Booted the game for the first time and im hit with a fog weather and it felt like silent hill in cordon or the movie "The Mist"

[wispy cosmos]

game is good

[peak ruin]

hey, can someone give me a screenshot of the default gamma reshade menu?

[vestal tundra]

Do you disable improved sahders 1.2 if you enable Agressor ReShade?

[sour oar]

Does it say to?

[golden crest]

I enabled Agressor Resahde, What's the best Basic Lighting settings for it?

[hollow iris]

I want to know this too

[vestal tundra]

I went with 0.8/0.8/1.2 according toa video guide, but shit was way too dark, even after the 3 custom console commands. So I ended up with 1.0/1.0/1.2

[golden crest]

I feel like 1 is still too low w dat 😭

I ended up just not using it

[broken ore]

are shaders hard to add into gamma? never done it before and was looking into maybe trying that hippo shader once the install is done

[mortal shuttle]

if you follow the instructions, they're simple as can be

[thick tendon]

I think you're thinking of TAA. SMAA doesn't do anything like that and is purely about edge alias reduction. As far as your NVCP stuff goes, search in here on similar discussions. If you're running dx11 everything there (with the exception of anisotropic filtering [pointless to set it in nvcp as the game sets the same DX level values] and maybe texture filtering) is 100% placebo and doing absolutely nothing. #1036172060969410590 message

[hollow scarab]

does anyone know where the profile is for Reshade. I made a profile that was suppose to be Blank so I could go back and for, and now I cannot find the GAMMA preset

[novel pike]

Is there any good reshade made for winter mods like Project Inverno?

[ashen jacinth]

Hippo snow is good, a little old but works well

You have to download hippos reshade, it's in the there with other reshades

[novel pike]

Link?

[neat flame]

can someone help me
i updated my game and i think my graphics broke or messed with settings harder then i can figure out

[ashen jacinth]

#🔨base-gamma-support @neat flame

[neat flame]

already posted in there but its a shader thing i thik

[sturdy lion]

I was using your config and it made my game blury while moving my mouse

any idea why

[tight vine]

likely the Multi-frame sampling, I'd turn that off - it didn't do it for me but did it for a friend of mine and turning this off resolved it.

[sturdy lion]

Yes that seems to be the issue

Thanks

[sturdy lion]

Well my performance took a huge hit

what do you recommand to lower from the settings

[tight vine]

Rendering distance, texture quality and shadow resolution

[sturdy lion]

What about aliasing

I am playing on a laptop with a 1080p display

[tight vine]

I would lower that to 2x and use SMAA in your use case

it won't be perfect but it'll look better to be sure

[sturdy lion]

i will do some benches later i guess

i really like the crisp look of fxaa though

[tight vine]

if you'd rather sharpness, up your MIP bias in-game

[sturdy lion]

It also seems that fxaa is less intensive

[tight vine]

I've never tested them for performance, only aesthetic. I would prefer FXAA aesthetically over SMAA but if you feel your system runs better with FXAA I'd go that route but keep it low level and then amp up as needed

[sturdy lion]

i am on a 15.6 inch display

so max i am going is 4x

the game looks much better though

[tight vine]

what's your gpu? also might be worth trying to upscale the game to lean less on the AA and more on the gpu power

[sturdy lion]

i have a laptop 3070

[tight vine]

oh for sure I'd upsample

[sturdy lion]

how can you upsample in anomaly?

[tight vine]

so you would go into nvidia control panel and on global settings there should be a section called DSR I'll post an image - check a few boxes for extra resolutions in-game and you can pick a higher res than your monitor actually is

[sturdy lion]

I dont think i can do this

my laptop is muxless

[tight vine]

ahh damn, that sucks...

[sturdy lion]

well i will see what i can do

Apperntly smaa doesnt even work on anomaly

i can try to screw around with reshade

[tight vine]

you can use it via reshade, this is how I used it

[sturdy lion]

What level should i pick?

[tight vine]

I would cycle through and visually gauge it from there

[sturdy lion]

I guess i am letting Smaa do the heavy lifting

and adding some fxaa on top

[tight vine]

good luck my friend, and have fun in the zone regardless 🙂

[sturdy lion]

Thanks for the help

you too

[dusk shell]

was looking for something super simple to remove the grey
it's 17:55 in game

[noble quiver]

Could I get the link to the latest reshade? I keep getting the notification in the top right screen when first booting up the game that a newer version is available for download

[ashen jacinth]

That's normal, you don't need to update it

[noble quiver]

Oh damn cause I found the website and just downloaded it lol. Ok cool thanks

[ashen jacinth]

It shouldn't effect anything with the latest but yeah it gets updated with the gamma updates if it needs too

[noble quiver]

Yea I assumed it would which is why I was puzzled when I saw it but alright great!
