[ashen marsh]

What presets u guys using

[flat dagger]

does hippo works with gamma?

anyone know?

[gritty turtle]

Man

#1036172060969410590

You tell us

[flat dagger]

oh sorry

my bad

[waxen goblet]

how much of the shader pipeline is exposed to modding?

i imagine if you have the entire thing you could do whatever

[sly sand]

I have no experience in that, I only use my eyes to select shaders that are available in Reshade lol

you could ask in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[waxen goblet]

i was just curious, i wrote a 3d renderer in OpenGL when i was in uni, but i barely remember stuff from it

[sly sand]

Aah I see

This is DirectX 11

I assume it uses HLSL?

[waxen goblet]

i think anomaly xray is open source so the whole thing should be available

[sly sand]

Yeah the engine is, the monolith version (that gamma uses)

https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith/src/master/

[waxen goblet]

afaik dx11 and opengl have the same paradigm, its vulkan that goes balls to wall, so it shouldnt be too different

[sly sand]

aah cool to know :D

I sit mostly in backend code, logic and dive into c++

not that much experience yet but working on it, coming from 5+years in C# native and web so can't tell you much about shaders here

[waxen goblet]

my day to day is java and ruby backend

[sly sand]

Ah yes, java the piece of shit language

[waxen goblet]

its same shit as C#

[sly sand]

It is, but feel like C# is more fun to work in

Best lang is assembly

[waxen goblet]

nah

[sly sand]

joking lol

Assembly gang

[main shoal]

looks great i hope it give a way to run the enbs from soc

[viral obsidian]

would anyone possibly know why my night time isnt actually dark? i have it set to dark nights and my brightness isnt that high either

[swift robin]

Please share. That looks tasty.

[left island]

pic or it didn't happen

[sly sand]

Looks like Reshade is down

[steel bison]

Wdym

[steel bison]

It will work in my game right?

(It's already installed)

Like is the site down?

[sly sand]

Site is down

[agile herald]

just came back up for me

[sly sand]

lesgo

[brittle dock]

i changed the default reshade setting how can i reset the settings ? i just click and unclicked to buttons.

can onybody just send me the SS of default settings ?

[lament kettle]

is there some kind of a list of all the reshades to pick the one i like? or do i have to scroll trough this channel

[sly sand]

i guess scroll, or use the 'basic' ones from atmospherics/hippo

or ask ppl for their preset

tried borderlands style

[lament kettle]

also will the reshades destroy my fps?

[sly sand]

depends lol

[lament kettle]

i see

thanks

[sly sand]

If you use many shaders, things like Ambient Occlusion tend to eat it

but it's much more efficient than the game's AA and AO

when using Reshade, disable those (graphic options)

[ashen jacinth]

Look in #1035807043933720576 all in there

[weary forum]

I made a new reshade once again, this one's just to top of my Shader tweaks which I will release soon in form of a "mod"
(it's really just a folder to overwrite certain settings for ES, SSS, and Dynamic Tonemap)

^ This is during sunset

This is during noon/afternoon

[rich sentinel]

That's some thick trees

[weary forum]

Mhm, part of aydns grass tweaks

The default gamma trees have way too much aliasing it's painful to look at

[fading pasture]

Hi, sorry I'm a bit delayed with this question I had issues with reshade it was a whole thing. Anyway, got it working now. Am I able to set this as one of the presets or do I need to go through and make my own, copying the settings you've put here?

Ah I see someone already asked this now I'm scrolling through a bit, apologies for wasting your time

[sly sand]

No worries :) you can drag the .ini into C:\GAMMA\Mods\Hippo\bin\<here>

Lmk if it worked out

[fading pasture]

Yah done that, thanks for your patience! I, like a lot of us here I imagine am very new to all this modding stuff

[sly sand]

Yeah it's strange at first first

[thick gorge]

Guys anybody know what reshade include appdata\grading_majestic.ltx. Where I get it last time I don’t remember 😅 reinstalled anomaly

[weary forum]

grading files don't have anything to do with reshade, they're presets for Enhanced Shaders, you might have more look looking that direction.
I sadly don't know what it's from though

[onyx socket]

MWFX.

[heady bear]

can I normally install the hippo pack with today's screen space shaders update?

[swift robin]

havent tested 14.6 yet

@manic sage ?

[onyx socket]

Yeah you can.

I suggest checking the Hippo channel, he always posts the updates there.

[heady bear]

oh nice, thnx

[manic sage]

It’s good

Go ahead and update both

[heady bear]

Waiting moddb release atmospherics update

[manic sage]

I accidentally archived the post so i have to wait for it to go back up

If you’re using gamma then you can just use the Google drive link

[stiff osprey]

Anyone does know what Reshade and mod hes using?
https://youtu.be/zKaumzgFKCo

[swift robin]

looks vanilla to me

[heady bear]

what channel is he on?

[swift robin]

#1035807043933720576 @heady bear

check pins in atmospherics - gamma

[heady bear]

nice, i gonna check

it already in modb, blessed hippo dev team

[stiff osprey]

Saturation is kinda other than in available options

[final maple]

Anyone try the companions rework mod enabled?

[manic sage]

So the plan for Snowy Atmospherics is to retire most of it. I want to simply take the weather config files from for instance project inverno and modify them so people dont have to turn off the weather for project inverno. I want to do the same for Late autumn redux. This way there are two wins, I dont have to maintain many versions of atmospherics and two the user doesn't have to manually delve into the files to turn anything off as it will be using the full project inverno suite.

[twilit veldt]

dude what is this scope mod (the right one)

[sly sand]

Forgot what it's called I don't use it anymore

Something long the lines of XLM?-2?

Price is around 25k

[flat dagger]

whats the most realistic/good looking sharders mods that can run gamma to

anyone know?

[spare crater]

hello not sure if its the right place but how i update the reshade version properly?

[left island]

Download the latest reshade and install it. Click the update option.

[undone stump]

guys, filmictonemap + ambient light make the graphics went insane

[spare crater]

did it few times didnt work still have ver 5.4 something

[swift robin]

guys is any one knows why afterburner stop working after the last hippo reshade???

[left island]

If you're installing to the same directory as the reshade you're overwriting, it should overwrite it.

You can always just delete the previous reshade files and do a fresh install

[spare crater]

fresh didnt work

[left island]

Where are you trying to install to? And did you have reshade working properly before?

[spare crater]

honestly

i dont know

found them like on 3 places

[left island]

Lol. That's a problem. You wanna zap all of that.

Once you've done that, you're going to want to install reshade where your AnomalyDX(version) exe is located. It'll be in your Anomaly\bin folder

If installed correctly, you should see a reshade message appear at the top of your screen when you boot the game. Follow the short tutorial and you're good to go.

[spare crater]

so that's how its was

thank you

[severe cave]

probably vanilla

[spare crater]

thanks again

[lament kettle]

What do i do? i followed the Hippo's tutorial step by step and it doesnt work

[manic sage]

You installed the EFP version lmao

[lament kettle]

oh shit i did?

lmao

[lament kettle]

holy shit it works

its so good

[carmine maple]

I did the same mistake yesterday lol

Your hippo mod is amazing @manic sage thank you

[manic sage]

Thank you habibi

https://youtu.be/QRRIT_ZO44A

anyone know how i can get gamma to look like these videos? he's using aggressor reshade but with some custom textures and settings i think, i tried enabling aggressor from the gamma mod menu but i wasn't able to edit any of its settings and it looked worse than default gamma

[swift robin]

agressor is not in gamma

thats just a ground texture edit

you need to install it yourself completely

and the reshade is edited in the video so it wont look 1 to 1 off the bat

[left island]

The poster of those videos states: "Did not change anything in Reshade"

[swift robin]

oh i coulda sworn he did videos where he had a custom version of agressor

my fault og

[wheat coyote]

o

i also tried to install aggressor once using the mod organizer but it wasn't compatible with it, is there some way to use the organizer with it? (I want to be able to disable and enable it and don't want to mess up the game files)

[left island]

He does detail his custom settings though as in, which shaders he enables/disables and some hemi values and other addons. But it's all there for viewers to replicate.

[swift robin]

well how mo2 works is that it puts files into your game directory and loads it all in when you launch tha game

take a look at how other MO2 reshades are packaged and youll kinda get it

if you cant figure it out i can dm you a zip file to just install straight up

[swift robin]

guys i have downloaded a reshade called RAW its looking cool

i installed step by step and now my game crash dont start and i get this error

[onyx socket]

Did you disable any other active weather mods/enhanced shaders?

[swift robin]

no

i followed the installation steps from the publisher

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/rays-of-anomalous-worlds-weathers-reshade

[onyx socket]

Welp.

Those instructions are for installing it on top of Vanilla Anomaly, not for a MO2 managed modpack like Gamma.

Gamma already has its own weather Mods active that I suppose could lead to problems. The moddb page states RAW doesn't use Enhanced Shaders, Gamma does.

And I'm pretty positive placing the mod files in your Anomaly root folder wont do anything since Gamma uses its own MO2 folder. Not 100% sure on that though.

[prisma sand]

I tried throwing it into gamma and kept getting error on start up, why i never touch reshades

[left island]

Curious. Could RAW be installed in GAMMA's root Anomaly folder to be played with just Anomaly without interfering with MO2's GAMMA? Would be nice to not have to install Anomaly again.

[swift robin]

ok thnx dude

[left island]

I've already got 5 separate installs, lol

[prisma sand]

I ran it on top of standard anomaly and the performance decrease aint worth it for me

5 fps loss my ass

[onyx socket]

Id just install the Archive through Mo2 like you would do with a new Hippo update, while putting the reshade files into the default Anomaly/bin.
Been doing the same with Hippo reshades since Im running a bunch of effects not included in the atmo archives

[left island]

I know, right? He's capping to 60 and only reporting sub 60 fps loss. It's really eating around 20-30.

[prisma sand]

I know i only have a 1060 but i thought id try

Base gamma look good enough for me with aydins grass

Seeing that hippo will be included in gamma soon ill probably have to disable em

Im not powerful enough for reshades

[left island]

I'd have to keep a sticky of install instructions for what mods to enable/disable whenever I switch between the two. I'd rather just eat the 100gb install lol

[prisma sand]

Not to mention reshades always a pain in my ass, i feel like if i just breathe on a reshade install incorrectly i either cant boot the game or its entirely black

[onyx socket]

In the case of RAW, I think it would basically be the same as Hippo since both are weather mods conflicting with the same Vanilla Gamma addons.
I keep both Majestic and Atmospherics on the bottom of the loadorder. Tick one, untick the other.
Storing Reshade separately from Hippos in Anomaly/bin means all the presets (including the Hippo ones) carry over.

[onyx socket]

Hippo is 80% shaders and weathers tbf. Reshade is just the cherry on top.

[prisma sand]

I just cant take any performance hits cus i run on a fine line of the game running at a perfect 60 but anything on top will certainly trash it

[onyx socket]

I'm on an average 80 FPS with Hippos + Custom Reshade, but the frames will still dip into the 40s at times. Especially around Rostok or other high-density spots with a lot of NPCs. That's just Xray being Xray.

[prisma sand]

Ill try it once its released with gamma

[swift robin]

I have a question what is the requirements for the hippos reshade ?

[onyx socket]

Hippos is pretty light on performance.

[prisma sand]

Lighter than raw Hopefully

[onyx socket]

Just the mod files. No dependencies.

[onyx socket]

It is. By a long shot. Going from Gamma weathers to Hippos, I don't think I even lost frames.
And you can always tweak the reshade presets to lighten the load a little.

TFAA + DRME is the only thing really draining framerate

[prisma sand]

I play without anti aliasing by default so not like ill notice a difference

[onyx socket]

I just use Reshade FXAA coupled with additional FXAA and sharpening from that FakeGI effect, barely an FPS hit.

I play with green vegetation though, so I really need the AA.

[prisma sand]

I have to play the game in 1080 upscaled and sharpened by nvidia nis

[onyx socket]

Yeah I have it upscaled through NVidia too. GTX 1080.

[swift robin]

that good i though it need a better graphic card and cpu bc the look is just amazing

[onyx socket]

Stalker is mainly CPU heavy since the engine only uses one core.

[prisma sand]

Stalker is run on hopes and dreams

[swift robin]

SHOULD I go and install hippos reshade or should i wait tell its officially gammas reshade ?

[onyx socket]

You decide. Installation isnt very hard.

[prisma sand]

i was gonna wait but i might try today

[carmine maple]

Do it Now

[unborn stone]

Hey guys so I was running the game with less than 359 mods installed and that caused me to crash a lot. I was also using Hippo's reshade and I was really loving it but in his video it says I should enable some settings making my active mod list less than 359. Any way I can have the reshade working without having to disable the mods he says to disable? I cant see myself playing without his reshade

[surreal mortar]

Hello guys. How can i update ReShade ? I just select the exe with the latest version of ReShade and that's all ? Or there is a thing to do for it keeps reshades already installed ? I don't want to break a thing.

[lavish relic]

If you where crashing with less then 359 active then there are vital mods missing from the install not related to the reshade.

The ones you are told to disable for Hippos reshade (or some of the others) could not break the game in such a way. You are only disabling some weather / texture mods.

[swift robin]

guys

where can i download Hippo's Shaders and Atmospherics

the link in moddb isnt working

[ashen jacinth]

#1036172060969410590 top right pinned comments

[flat dagger]

can someone here help me with RAW?

i keep getting this error when i try to get it working with gamma

[rich sentinel]

It is possible to make it work with gamma, but you need to disable a lot of addons and do some work around

But I would say its easier and faster to try RAW on vanilla anomaly

[flat dagger]

you know what to dissable to run it on gamma?

its just realy good looking and i wanted to play it with gamma

[rich sentinel]

#1036172060969410590 message

Also you need to disable gamma weathers, make sure only SSS are running

Its a BIG, process

I don't recommend it btw

[flat dagger]

hmm okey

[undone stump]

anyone have lens flare reshade ? can someone send me ?

[unborn stone]

What mods could it be then? I followed the guides carefully

[swift robin]

Guys the characters appearance look awful in normal gamma is there a any add on can make them look better like hd models?

[left island]

Yeah. HD Models

[swift robin]

can u lead me to it i cant find it anywhere

[left island]

Here you go. I'd recommend starting a new game as it's known to have issues.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-hd-models-addon

There is a recent compatibility patch that I've been using that seems to work, but no guarantees.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gamma-and-hd-npc-models-compatibility-patch

Good luck, Stalker!

[robust pebble]

What mod is Gamma Weathers based on?

[slim cradle]

Hello can I have the default list of reshade (or whatever it is)? (I messed up when accidentally pressed the Home button)

[gaunt pawn]

If I wanted to start creating my own reshades to contribute to Stalker modding, any tips where to start?

[wheat coyote]

just saw this and looked around, i dont see any other reshades in mo2, just shaders for specific things

[wheat coyote]

does installing it that way mess with other mod files?

[swift robin]

well if you want the pure reshade not really

if you want stuff like the weather youll have to turn off certain mods

[wheat coyote]

can you like disable and enable it to switch back

[swift robin]

and what i meant is how other reshades packaged for MO2 are arranged

yes

example being hippos

[wheat coyote]

o where can i check thos

[swift robin]

atmospherics gamma is packaged to make installation easy in MO2

#1035807043933720576

[wheat coyote]

im downloads it

downloadsing

[swift robin]

i can just send you the aggressor file tbh

[wheat coyote]

the

[swift robin]

ok click into 3

and go to reshade for aggressor

thats how you wanna package your mod

[wheat coyote]

wha

[stiff flare]

is quietlyinthe same boat, apparently having had once isntalled gshape, and since broken withthe latest update, so needing to find and reset the gamma reshade XD

[wheat coyote]

but its completeli different stuff

[swift robin]

click into bin in hippos

make a new folder on your desktop

[wheat coyote]

o

[swift robin]

call it whatever you want

preferably "agressor reshade" or whatever

inside it make another folder called bin

within bin, drag those files in agressor's Reshade folder into the bin folder

[wheat coyote]

this?

[swift robin]

yup good

anything else you want from agressor?

theres the weather, ground and grass edit

[wheat coyote]

ground and grass for agressor look too vibrant imo, the weather would be useful tho

[swift robin]

alright then back out once

can you ss the custom weather in the rar file

i coulda just packaged this into a zip so you could easily download and hit install on your MO2 tbh

[wheat coyote]

would this work?

[swift robin]

oh good ya got it

[wheat coyote]

o well dam

[swift robin]

now just drag this folder into your MO2 mods folder manually

and enable it in MO2

lemme do sumn rq

[wheat coyote]

would i have to disable the default shaders and weather?

[swift robin]

yeah gimme a sec

ill tell ya what to disable

GAMMA weather should be disabled first and foremost

[wheat coyote]

okok

[swift robin]

yeah i think thats it

just checked

now do a shader_cache delete

dont do it through anomaly's launcher, youll need to navigate to the folder manually

[wheat coyote]

how?

[swift robin]

gimme a sec

[wheat coyote]

and do i have to do that each shader switch

[swift robin]

im not quite sure how it works exactly, im not very x ray savvy at all

i just do it just in case since you have weathers installed

if its just a pure reshade you wouldnt need to delete shader cache

you remember where your anomaly folder is?

[wheat coyote]

yea

[swift robin]

appdata

delete the shaders_cache folder

and after that just boot anomaly through MO2 like normal

[wheat coyote]

erm

[swift robin]

press your home button

open up reshade

[wheat coyote]

ooooh

[swift robin]

give me a moment

youll need to navigate to the agressor bin folder manually

load the agressor ini file

[wheat coyote]

it was already there, its working i think

[swift robin]

ss it for me?

your game should look like this, ignore my grass and trees i use aydins grass tweaks

[swift robin]

like this in clear weather

does it look right to you?

[wheat coyote]

kinda?

[swift robin]

can i see your mo2 settings

i mean reshade

open home and click settings top left

[swift robin]

now go to home and screenshot that too

[swift robin]

yeah all good

i think its just cause youre at sunset now and not the exact weather

[wheat coyote]

i was going for this look though and it looks quite different

maybe its his textures'

[swift robin]

that looks like foggy at around 18:00 in time

[wheat coyote]

is there a way to test weather?

[swift robin]

yup

in the anomaly launcher, enable debug mode

launch your game and open the debug menu wit f7

and then press 3

youll be able to toy around with the settings there

ill try to see if i can recreate that screenshot

[wheat coyote]

he said he uses default grass textures for anomaly..

"agressor reshade but default grass"

[swift robin]

makes sense

if you wanna revert to anomaly grass here

[wheat coyote]

also aiming turns my screen yellow tinted for some reason

[swift robin]

!deadzone

[void depot]

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

[swift robin]

need to start remembering these commands

[wheat coyote]

getting a bit closer with proper time

still very purple though for some reason

[swift robin]

best i could do @wheat coyote

even then not 1 to 1

im pretty sure the reshades working fine

[wheat coyote]

im getting it close

ill show in a sec

[wheat coyote]

also how did u get ur hud like that

[swift robin]

aydins hud tweaks in #1035807043933720576

[wheat coyote]

epic i got it

my game crashed also

ill ss in a sec

[gritty bronze]

what a reshade?

[wheat coyote]

o thats aggressor reshade

[gritty bronze]

were u dowload it?

[wheat coyote]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/agressor-reshade

[gritty bronze]

thx

[wheat coyote]

@swift robin i think i got it pretty close, some things are a bit off

[swift robin]

ooo looks great

[wheat coyote]

and thanks for all the help my bruddah

[swift robin]

no probs dude

[swift robin]

guys any ideas why my afterburner not work whit last reshade and hippo atmospherics?

[steel bison]

I have the fix

Use dragon center

[swift robin]

inverno is purty

[outer yoke]

Nice

[tropic raptor]

what can i alter in reshade to make the game a bit more high res?

i just started gamma and it looks a bit grubby compared to vanilla anomaly

[swift robin]

try out the AA options

type AA in search and try ticking and seeing whats good for you

[tropic raptor]

i dont think thats an option for me?

i typed AA but no results

[tropic raptor]

is that part of aggressor/ disabled mods?

[swift robin]

oh youre running default gamma?

[tropic raptor]

yeah i just started and it looks very smudgy

if theres something that helps that lmk though

[swift robin]

i have no idea how reshades effects are installed

[tropic raptor]

whats AA

[swift robin]

hippo atmospherics comes with AA effects

so i use those

anti aliasing

smooths out edges and all

[tropic raptor]

is the mod hippo atmospherics?\

[swift robin]

yea

check out #1035807043933720576

its called atmospherics gamma now tho

my game looks like this and there are multiple presets you can play with

[tropic raptor]

oh hell yeah thats sick

-HippoSR: Which stands for Shaders and Reshade. this one?

[swift robin]

ok so when you download hippo, its packaged with all the options

for now dont worry about what to pick

follow the installation video in pins closely

once its all set up you can easily switch between the options

[visual axle]

How do I install RTGi please?

[left island]

You got 5 bucks?

[visual axle]

Wait I have to pay?

[left island]

Yup. To Marty McFly's Patreon

I think it's totally worth it

I apply it to every game I play that doesn't natively have RT

[visual axle]

Ok gimme

Link me his patreon please

[left island]

https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg/posts

[visual axle]

Ah it's monthly

Just wondering before I pay if it's gonna work fine on a 6800XT

[left island]

I have a 3080 Ti and it runs on that just fine. Just be realistic and don't run it with max ray count in a preset with 20 shaders and maxed out in-game graphics settings.

I signed up for only a month to snag the shader. Might sign up later in the year to pick up an update.

[gritty anchor]

If I could keep time at only dawn and dusk I really would

[jovial zephyr]

Rasmus, What preset is your last screen? messing around with the settings and want to check yours out if you dont mind? I have atmospherics and ADEGA ect

[swift robin]

phrozacs badlands

ill dm you my settings maybe but i have a 3050 so if you have something better you can get away with cranking certain settings up

[wheat coyote]

it looks epic

liking how i got my game to look

beauty

ful

and i have been shot to death

[unreal brook]

While starting gamma, the main menu tells I can update the reshade by visiting their website. I thought when I updated gamma 4-5 days ago using the installer, the reshade would be auomatically updated, but it wasnt. Is it intentional? Is the installed version more optimised for gamma, or should I visit the website and update it?

[unreal brook]

I havent installed any new reshades, only talking about default reshade included in gamma

[ashen jacinth]

You don't need to update reshade

[sterile apex]

can anyone tell me where i find badlands preset?

nvm i'm stupid, got it

[jovial zephyr]

i have a 3080, should be okay. would love a screenshot of your settings mate when you get a chance please

[swift robin]

dm'd you yeah

[primal helm]

Can anyone tell me how to enable a ui mask

or just tell me how to fix TFAA messing with my hud

[left island]

TFAA shouldn't mess with your HUD at all

Are you using it at the bottom of a 3 shader stack that includes either FXAA, SMAA, or CMAA2 along with a motion estimation shader?

[primal helm]

it's toward the top, using hippo's reshade. When i move my camera the hud distorts a little, but only with TFAA.

TFAA is under CMAA2 and motion estimation

[left island]

If it's DRME you're using and it's still too much blur, you're out of luck I think unless you use a UI mask which unfortunately I don't know how to set up. You can also look into Reshade Effect Shader Toggler(REST).

[primal helm]

Alright ill see what i can do tomorrow

appreciate it

[turbid vector]

what is the default cfg_load ?

is gloss?

[plain wagon]

can you please dm me the settings too

have geforce rtx 2070 super and i9 109k 32gb should be fine right

hm kinda lost trying to get some nice shaders

[severe copper]

this is what im getting trying to use hippos atmospherics

what do i need to do

[ashen jacinth]

If youve updated to the latest SSS its not compatible right noww

They are working on it

[severe copper]

any way i can use an earlier version?

@ashen jacinth

[ashen jacinth]

try this

[severe copper]

thats the one i have

14.6

ill try it tho

[ashen jacinth]

Sorry my bad its not SSS thats been updated its ES, that might not make a difference

whats your load order?

[severe copper]

whats es?

i have aydins 1st, sss after and atmospherics last, i dont use reshade

@ashen jacinth

[ashen jacinth]

try SSS > Aydins > Atmos / top to bottom

[severe copper]

will do

i need a new playthrough to use atmos or no?

[ashen jacinth]

Nah just make sure you delete shader cache before you start the game

[severe copper]

yeah same issue again

@ashen jacinth how can i find hippos thread on here?

guys, how do i make to see the deffault shade options again?

i accidentally click on reload i think and fuck1234 it up

[void stag]

I got hippos shaders thing (newest version) and he says I gotta find the name of the file in the shader menu but i dont see hippo

[ashen jacinth]

Because its under Atmospherics - GAMMA now as a folder name

[jovial zephyr]

stupid question here- but whats the button for screenshots and where is the folder location?

Im trying to see if its just my game thats a tad blurry (not bad) or its the desired effect

[magic harbor]

if you have an NVIDIA GPU try ALT+F1

[jovial zephyr]

will try when im on next, thanks

[zealous berry]

i had the the same problem i know how to fix it

[severe copper]

How?

@zealous berry

[zealous berry]

a sec

u gotta replace your exe thinges

the screen space shader thinge

is making you crash

1.5.2 anomaly

[zealous berry]

u there?

[severe copper]

The stuff i need to replace in the anomaly folder? @zealous berry

[zealous berry]

i am not good at explaining this stuff XD

[severe copper]

Well i did that but then that just opened the game but wouldnt let me chanhe a single setting

[zealous berry]

wait wait

[severe copper]

And i just gave up on hippos until it comes as default in gamma

[zealous berry]

u extracted this?

[zealous berry]

screen space shaders is making u crash not hippo

[severe copper]

Yes but when i fix the crashing

It works but the game doesent let me change settings

[zealous berry]

wait what

[severe copper]

Yeah

[zealous berry]

well now i am confused

[strong hazel]

Hello, i am not able to open reshade menu.
I have tried so far switching the key from 'HOME' to 'SHIFT + L' and 'SHIFT + ALT + F12' and nothing seems to happen.

[trim thistle]

hay look at that its the same thing that was happening to me

[long nebula]

hey @manic sage is this mexico filter intentional in cloudy1 or is my game bugged? it looks kinda odd to me, really strong yellow lighting is present and contrasts heavily with the washed out greyish sky

more visible in this pic

[manic sage]

Not intentional lol

Idk whats going on in your image

What time?

[long nebula]

about noon

11:45 specifically

any idea on how I could fix it? it's consistent in this weather preset, when cloudy1 is on it's like that

[manic sage]

Which reshade are you using?

[long nebula]

yours, hipposr config

[manic sage]

Are you using any texture packs?

or texture mods

[long nebula]

I don't think so, I only installed the grass mod from your video

[manic sage]

I’ll look at it when i get home

[long nebula]

alright, thanks!

[manic sage]

Could not replicate it on my end

[long nebula]

do you think reinstalling the atmospherics could solve it? like clicking reinstall inside MO2

[swift robin]

alright, might be better to ask here, I just finished installing Hippo's reshade and also INVERNO, I ended up disliking INVERNO so I uninstalled it, and I have unticked SSR water ICE from the Screenspaceshaders

But my water still looks like this

any solutions?

[gritty turtle]

did you delete shader cache

[swift robin]

;d, no i didn't. first time doing the reshade I didn't realize

wait how do you do that?

[ashen jacinth]

Anomaly folder > appdata > delete shader cache

[swift robin]

done, lets see if that works

yay it looks sooo much better now! thanks a bunch

[prime solar]

do you guys think i can run hippos reshade with a 1060?

[calm forge]

Is this guide for maid's icons still relevant or the installation settings have changed? #╭📖faq message

[tropic raptor]

im following hippos vid but after installing my mods this is the default is this normal?

sharp contrast also does this

[lavish relic]

Looks kinda… sus

[pastel trellis]

What settings are you using

I have hipposr installed but I can’t get my game to look nearly as good

[swift robin]

i use phrozacs badlands and im on dx 11

ill dm you my settings

[pastel trellis]

Cool thank you

[swift robin]

dark as fuck

but beautiful in some way

[lyric ravine]

how do you even see anything

discord light mode level of blinding bloom whiteness and dark as fuck maxed out contrast

[willow wind]

reminds me of old call of duty games with that bloom and dark setting

[thick tendon]

Bloom so hard like you smeared Vaseline all over your eyeballs.

Sneaking up on monolith like…

[cursive wedge]

Decided to use Hippos reshade and I must ask.... What does this mean?

[indigo magnet]

I managed to load the Hippo reshade twice and it shows this now. What can i do to make it normal again?

How fucked am I?

[indigo magnet]

Think I got it.

[dapper rapids]

are there any special shaders for gamma that work with dx8 but still look good?

[marsh phoenix]

I am looking for a shader to make the GAMMA more beautiful any kind just recommend me anything popular ones and lesser known

[ashen jacinth]

#1035807043933720576 all in here bud

[proud snow]

i think you can apply reshade to dx8

but in game shader like SSS/ES/Beef NVG aren't compatible with dx8

[buoyant bay]

How I activate the agressor reshade ?
when I open the menu with Pos1 and select Agressor 1.0 is just open the folder with the datas inside the folder

[vale mason]

do reshades rely on cpu or gpu more?

[finite matrix]

the darkness adds to the horror factor of the game imo

[dapper rapids]

how do you anable different seasons?

like winter

[ashen jacinth]

Look in #custom-textures

[quasi thorn]

is this the right channel to ask in if I'm looking to change my game's textures

[zenith oriole]

when you drop your glasses

[proud snow]

gpu i think

[prime solar]

Do you guys think i can run hippos reshade with a GTX 1060

[swift robin]

yeah most likely

at worst you probably cant run reshade but you can definitely have the colour grading and weather

[prime solar]

ok

thanks

[tough ermine]

is aggressor reshade the best

[crisp knoll]

Can I install hippo reshade on normal anomaly ?

[small crypt]

Holy crap this looks amazing!

[coral venture]

hey im using project inverno and had a crash and now my game looks very blue

ive tried restarting and deleting the shader cache and its still very blue

[swift robin]

yes, youll need a few mods and reshade

i think the moddb page tells you

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hippos-shaders-and-atmospherics

check the description

[spare dew]

Has anyone installed/used RAW reshade with gamma?

[uneven sinew]

It's so rad thanks. I'm trying to get some better day time ones

[heady lynx]

Just don't go for the TFAA other than that it runs pretty good and it changes the game dramatically

[rose rune]

can anyone reccomend me a good reshade that adds some color for the gamma mod?

[swift robin]

+1 : I seek for good ReShade, anyone ? (and a tutorial please ;))

[lament grove]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590 tutorial included

[swift robin]

o7 thanks mate! i go with hippo ReShade

[swift robin]

how do i properly install agressor reshade like to put the moddb screenshots graphics?

[haughty burrow]

where can i find and install reshades?

[ashen jacinth]

Check out #1035807043933720576 there's a few

[novel drum]

so i have this problem. if anybody has any ideas and cares to help much appreciated thx

[novel drum]

nevermind fixed it

would anybody share their hippsr reshade configs pls ?

[torn flint]

if I wanna use a different reshade in gamma, is it the same process as installing other reshades? will it break anything?

specifically I wanna use the expidition reshade

[jovial flax]

same process, shouldn't have issues swapping.

[swift robin]

check #1035807043933720576 for expedition specifically

do note people have said that it causes crashes and shit so use at your own risk

[spiral bridge]

Hi everyone. If i will update reshade version, it will be ok? or nah?

[steep mountain]

Hi guys. Every time I try to install a reshade my game becomes dark and desaturated. It only works fine with Gamma base reshade. Any ideas?

[winged swift]

can someone show me agressors reshade

[glacial spear]

if you're talking about this, #1037753021322506240 message, no it does not cause any crashes since version 1. perfectly stable but it's expedition yay

[swift robin]

swag

[glacial spear]

when the EXP shaders do deliver lol

[rigid crater]

Seems like the appropriate thread, what's the proper procedure to update the reshade.me?

[uneven sinew]

Looks very cool, are using just the EXP shaders or in combination with something else?

[glacial spear]

the EXP shaders stock, recently I modified them a bit to add enhanced fog, sky-deband and DoF from latest screenspace shaders version. The EXP weather, bugged as it is it adds those huge light shaft you see and the overall mood. You can install this custom modlist from here #1037753021322506240 message although the one from the video has a bunch of more mods (gameplay stuff) which I am going to share it at some point through EXT - still in testing

[uneven sinew]

Awesome, thanks for the great reply

[glacial spear]

I have added puddles and shit to the EXP shaders

[steep mountain]

Is Atmospherics working with reshades apart from Hippo's ones?

[prisma sand]

damn and youre running this in 1440

i need a new card

[sly bluff]

What kind of frames are you getting?!?? @glacial spear

My game at best is getting 90-130 fps at 1440p.

But the strange part is the GPU and CPU just aren't being fully utilized

[glacial spear]

in those videos around 50, but I am using DSR, rendering in 4k and downscaled to 2K. If i'll just go 2k it'll probably be around 70fps 100 (in some places) I have a RTX3080 16GB

and laptop cpu

basically we are both bottlenecked by the cpu

but with DSR I manage to maxout GPU at least

[sly bluff]

Yeah idk if any CPU today can run a game that old properly

I play any other modern title so seamlessly

But gamma just wants to behave just ever so choppy

[glacial spear]

I guess the new cpu single core can reach 5GZ, that will help. mine goes up to 3.8

nothing we can do, GAMMA has many mods with scripts that use a lot CPU. If you just play anomaly vanilla you'll go blazing fast

[sly bluff]

I may have to try that. Its just so convenient what gamma has packed in.

My game is absolutely playable

Just not PERFECT.

But man that shader sample looks amazing

I have literally not played with them at all but I think I should!

[glacial spear]

with DSR beside obviously improving the image quality, really sorted out frame pacing. it runs buttery smooth even if it's 40, before I was getting higher fps but it felt a bit strange. not sure I might have had allucinations

beside that, I don't want to appear biased, but the expedition shaders runs faster than anything I have tried, mostly because the reshade preset it use it's very light (vignette, sharpener and ambient light)

you can try the expedition modpack to see how fast it is despite the fancy graphic, unfortunately it has many bugs in term of gameplay

[sly bluff]

Hummmmmm worth a shot.

[gaunt pawn]

I want puddles, how does one get puddles? lol 😄

aaahh NVM, it's GAMMA_EXP_Edition. Nice!

[hot flame]

whats the mod for the crosshair

[glacial spear]

which crossair? do you mean the scope?

[hot flame]

no

realistic crosshair

that moves when you move your gun

[glacial spear]

do you mean this?

[swift robin]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/shader-based-2d-scopes-151dx11engine-mod @hot flame

[glacial spear]

I did not add anything though, isn't this already in GAMMA?

ahh maybe is included in latest Screenspace Shaders (v14.9) that one I have added

[swift robin]

yeah its already in gamma

i think the guy just wants the mod for sumn else

[hot flame]

not that

i meant the white crosshair

that has realistic elements

[swift robin]

thats the laser

only certain guns have it

hold the headlamp button to turn it on

[hot flame]

you know the realistic crosshair setting that radiophobia 3 has

i need that

[glacial spear]

ok I know now what you mean, I don't think is there in the videos can you point it out? I am not sure where you see that

[hot flame]

i just want that mod

thats why

[glacial spear]

dude which mod? you are allucinating 😄

[hot flame]

bruh

you serious

[sage basalt]

@hot flame You have to write full sentences explaining in details what you want. We don't understand **** rn

[hot flame]

i dont know how to explain it

[sage basalt]

Well, it's gonna be a bit difficult then.

[molten elm]

How do you do that??? is it just through shader menu? Or a lot more advanced work involved?

[glacial spear]

this is shader related, does Gamma default not have the puddles? If that the case you either install Atmospherics (#1036172060969410590 message) or one of my EXT profiles

[cloud grove]

hey guys where do I ask for help with installing hippo's shaders

i tried following his videos all looks good until I try to open the reshade panel

there should be listed effects but I dont see them

[west tiger]

im tryna update my reshade but idk what exe to set it to, which is the right one?

[uneven sinew]

It depends on the direct X .exe you are using

[west tiger]

im using dx11

[uneven sinew]

ok cool, So in reshade select the Anomalydx11.exe

[west tiger]

bet, then just select allow dx 10/11/12?

[uneven sinew]

you got it

[manic sage]

Did you figure it out?

[weary forum]

Getting closer to release for my Graphics Preset

[manic sage]

@glacial spear https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151/page/36#comments

[manic sage]

Expedition 2.3 (Installed Part 1 and Part 2)
Clear weather types are so weird. Yes you can see the sky and the bloom is okay. On the border of being too much. But it isn't but everything is blown out. Like look at the distant trees down the road in this image. Everything is bleached. The reshade preset's sharpness effect is way too much. Smart sharp is being used which is a good sharpness effect but the depth map for it is not being used effectively. Resulting in over sharpened distant trees which makes the aliasing worse. The sharpness is also on the strong side. The vignette effect is nice. The neobloom effect is perhaps the weakest bloom effect available. prod 80 bloom would have been much preferred here or even quint bloom. The ground parallax effect is nice in theory but not in practice. walking back and forth around the parallaxed ground causes this moving/warping effect on the texture. Super noticeable. The pbr and shine on the guns is nice, practically on par with ES 1.10. The rainy weathers are more or less good. Same applies to the stormy weather types. I will try the modpack version when it comes out as thats typically better than the standalone graphics version. But for now I wouldn't recommend installing expedition 2.3 graphics version. Without shilling my own work I'd recommend trying Majestic or RAW.

RAW: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/rays-of-anomalous-worlds-weathers-reshade
Majestic: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/majestic-weatherfx

Majestic is archived at the moment as Joe is making new cubemaps for ES 1.10 which I will in turn use for atmospherics when they are available.

Expedition in clear weather.

[glacial spear]

he has removed the Modpack files apparently, It says It need more polish. Did you manage to download the files?

[glacial spear]

wait so only the 2.2.3 graphic version is available and not the modpack? fair enough

[void depot]

This server has no whitelisted roles

[glacial spear]

I can't even open the weather editor that it crashes, another bugged release I'll add

[manic sage]

yeah rain 1 and 2

[glacial spear]

more that that, it's weird it complains of missing textures but they are there. The editor in exp has always been bugged though

Night has changed drastically in clear, gone are the blue fantasy ones. Then we have this new fog effect, never seen it before

[prisma sand]

something always threw me off about the nights in anomaly

could never see the starts

[glacial spear]

I think it improves overall. these looks good

the night used to be like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCMGzpJaoL0 (which I found it nice too)

[prisma sand]

skyrim night skybox

[manic sage]

Has potential but looks super buggy.

As far as fog goes

[manic sage]

The fog is flickering?

Looks like z fighting

[glacial spear]

This is previous exp shaders plus I have integrated the fog from Atmospheric and few stuff from SSS. Probably a borked job by me

[manic sage]

The fog in atmos is also bugged which is why its experimental

lots of z fighting due to the texture itself

Plus the fact that the fog is vastly brighter than the surrounding landscape is weird

experimental for now

[glacial spear]

I am not really convinced by this type fog, it spawns on you if you stay still. Sometime fells like you are giving off steam

[manic sage]

Yeah exactly

just super weird

[glacial spear]

must be something in the yawn script that spawn the fog this way

[manic sage]

Exactly that

[bold cargo]

What presets are you using brother?

[glacial spear]

I was checking out this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151

[bold cargo]

Thx for the quick response, will check it out

I just hope it works with Gamma

[glacial spear]

beware, it's 2 downloads. One is the zip from the start download button

then open the zip and in a readme there is instructions and the link to the second download part

[glacial spear]

you need to know how to plug these things (it's reshade, shaders and weather)

[brazen lark]

did you change the glare from the sun?

[glacial spear]

it's the new version of expedition graphic only

2.3

[brazen lark]

How soon can we expect an update from you?

[glacial spear]

I don't know I am not really liking it

[brazen lark]

god they made it even better than before

[brazen lark]

Do you think so? looks very good from the screenshots

[glacial spear]

you can install expedition 2.2 right now if you want (you have downloaded the addons for ext) then put the graphic update 2.3 on top of it according to instructions

if I knew how to stream on discord I'll do a live of a preview

[brazen lark]

I like to play in cloudy weather, especially after you made puddles, I think all the weather should be either rain or cloudy xD

[glacial spear]

well the new gfx version of expedition has still no puddles

[brazen lark]

they apparently don't want to use sss shaders

competitor...

[glacial spear]

really? there is code in it though

[brazen lark]

it's a guess, don't take it seriously

[cursive wedge]

Any snow packs for gamma that anyone would recommend that also work well with hippo shaders?

I was looking for something called Inverno but it seems to not be a thing anymore.

[bold cargo]

Is it all in the readme file? If not could you pls PM me and explain in short how to do it?

[hot flame]

if i only was able to run it

[hot flame]

are these shaders ray traced or use screen space technology

[brazen lark]

it's still version 2.3?

[glacial spear]

yes

it's different, more washed out and increased blacks

[brazen lark]

grey / cold

[glacial spear]

I mean those pictures is not really stock 2.3, I have added the puddles just to see if it would work and it does

[glacial spear]

I am kind of liking it, we need to see all the weathers moments though

here is a bit of recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m96Zk-a8b_o this is stock 2.3 w_foggy_dark

[brazen lark]

The night has definitely gotten better.

this is no longer skyrim)))

[glacial spear]

yes :-D. I only checked one weather though

[brazen lark]

[brazen lark]

I noticed that most of the weather is from fashion
A.b.n.o.r.m.a.L._W.e.a.T.h.e.R don't mix well with EXPEDITION

[rugged vale]

i question hippo reshade work with aydin gras ?

[peak ruin]

that reshade looks like it would destroy my FPS 😦

[glacial spear]

So, you can now try the new Expedition shaders with my EXT profiles in #1035807043933720576 Search for EXP

[brazen lark]

https://tenor.com/view/marketmove-mm-move-cool-trend-gif-25255233

[glacial spear]

does it matter if I change this?

#define G_SSR_QUALITY                    0        // Quality of the SSR. ( 0 = Very low | 1 = Low | 2 = Medium | 3 = High | 4 = Very High | 5 = Ultra )

in settings_screenspace_SSR.h

how to reduce or remove the shimmering effect on ground texture? I think is caused by screenspace reflections and rain puddles

[rugged vale]

ok i installed hippo reshade and aydins grass. all things work except the raindrops on the mask. someone has an idea?

[rich sundial]

bro, please tell me the name of the reshade :)

[glacial spear]

you have to install this #1037753021322506240 message

[rich sundial]

thanks

[cunning thistle]

damn, moody dark valley

[glacial spear]

crazy shit isn't it?

[cunning thistle]

STALKER 2 LEAKED

[cunning thistle]

is it running on hdr? because I see some bit depth differential it seems

[glacial spear]

no monitor is not compatible with hdr

[cunning thistle]

mmm, it could be the compression then

[glacial spear]

I am not sure what you mean

I clip the video and export to 720 so probably is not hi-fi but what about that thing that you are noticing?

I am just sharing the results of the new exp reshade and weather

[ripe depot]

Can anyone tell me how to configure TFAA properly?
I enabled it, it works, but I get strange blurring and text doesnt look very good, especially when moving

[dusky swallow]

hi guys, should i use hD models? Grok says that it is not good?

[steady sparrow]

how do I get my game to look like this?

[visual hearth]

Can’t use tfaa alone, need to use DRME or motionvectors above it

[swift robin]

because in normal mods there is more than +3000 outfits for stalkers it means almost every stalker has unique outfit but i use HD models too it up to you i prefer HD models.If you have a poor pc i dont recommend HD models.

[glacial spear]

install this #1037753021322506240 message

[ripe depot]

I did, and I still get that bad blur in text when moving

[valid blade]

woops

sorry

[glacial spear]

https://youtu.be/xA7JnXoWeBM

[sweet cove]

https://i.imgur.com/GYrjug0.png

how can i download the part 1 if the link takes me to part 2

oh its part 1

but its still sayin that i need something else

just renaming an 7zip archive fixed everything

ig

[glacial spear]

yeah the part 1 filename needs to be updated to the new version of the addon

a new version is coming with fixes including old links

[sweet cove]

i cant install any other reshades, am i right?

or can i?

[glacial spear]

is this question for the GAMMA EXP profile? If so yes you can, although few caveats

1. after you run apply_settings you can replace the reshade in the Anomaly folder as you normally do when installing any reshade
2. do not run save_settings if you change reshade at (1)
3. running apply_settings again will put back the stock EXP profile reshade

Better method

Best way is to clone the exp profile of your choice with clone command

.\GAMMA_EXT.ps1 -clone "ProfileName"

e.g. .\GAMMA_EXT.ps1 -clone "GAMMA EXP Edition Complete - 100 RADS [EXP 2.3]"

You will be asked to give the new profile name e.g. clonedprofile

and then install the new reshade in the GAMMA-EXT/settings/clonedprofile/bin

select the cloned profile in MO and run apply_settings to patch the Anomaly folder like you do with ext profiles

you can also use save_settings this way, saved settings are stored GAMMA-EXT/settings/clonedprofile

However you can only do for plain reshades. You cannot for instance use Atmos reshade entirely (which includes mods, ltx, etc), but you can still try install its reshade files. Just those though.

[swift robin]

this the correct way to update reshade?

[glacial spear]

Created an EXT profile to install just the Expedition 2.3 shaders and weather (no unnecessary EXP bloat) on GAMMA default. #1082678099294048330 message Use the MO profile to swap the the expedition profiles based on gamma default

[light void]

Just installed Gamma EXP Complete; Am I correct that there is currently no reshade and such included in that package atm?

[glacial spear]

yes there is. The profile includes the reshade and shaders among other Expedition things, like sounds, music and UI. From version 14 is uptodate to latest Expedition 2.3

[light void]

Hmm, I must have missed something, I have the textures bit no reshade except the gamma one.
I'll have a tinker with it again tomorrow.

[glacial spear]

Could be something to do with the installation? Go through the profile install tutorial in the Quickstart guide

[light void]

Will do, having a glance back over it now I think I forgot to actually "apply settings"

[glacial spear]

yeah well that is important. run it and it will be all ok

[light void]

Ended up getting out of bed just to try, all fixed with an apply settings run 🙂 thanks for the mod 👍

[dusky swallow]

btw do you need a new save to use hd models?

[swift robin]

Yeah

[swift robin]

Best reshades to work well with Fabio’s summer redux?

[sweet cove]

ive been playing with PROSPERITY Anamorphic C

high one

[opal karma]

did you changed the nights? Like normaly in Expedition say look a bit greenish - yours not (which i absolutly prefer^^)

[glacial spear]

the exp 2.3 update changed that

[weary apex]

those dark areas will be a nightmare to spot an npc enemy or a mutant

[glacial spear]

sure it is. but did not notice yet to ruin the gameplay. I'd say the nvg are more the issue because both gen1 and gen2 does not really clarify the image. only gen3 is kind of ok

I have a semi working integration of BeefNVG and EXP shaders but is far from functioning and not sure if I even manage to do it.

[weary apex]

well im downloading the files rn and will test it out. its my first time for me using EXT shaders, so i hope all would run fine with no major fps drop

[glacial spear]

there is a tonemapper in the stock Exp reshade, maybe tinckering with that you can clarify a bit the dark areas?

no really it runs quite nicely on my end, I have a ryzen 7 laptop with RTX3080 though

[weary apex]

my specs

i got a beefy CPU and a decent GPU

[glacial spear]

seems barely equipped to do the job lol

[weary apex]

yea i need to upgrade my GPU

[glacial spear]

definitely worth it

[weary apex]

is it normal to have the curser appear when i have my guns unequipped or im in a car?
p.s i have show crosshair enabled

[glacial spear]

I don't know honestly, haven't yet tried to mount a car

is this just the EXP reshade profile? GAMMA Expedition Reshade & Weather

or something else?

I doesn't change anything but shaders and weather files

[weary apex]

i think it has something to do with the crosshair enabled, cuz when i disabled it, the curser disappeared

[glacial spear]

yeah I dont use that

I hope you are enjoying it so far. I am testing a custom preset. A mix of expedition and vitold reshade. If you want to try it

drop it in settings/profilename/bin so when you run apply_settings it will be patched in the anomaly folder along with the stock exp

or to the anomaly/bin folder straight away

[manic sage]

Set up eyeadaptation with lumafade to make eyes adapt to the dark areas. The lumafade makes it so that the eyeadaption doesn't apply at night

[glacial spear]

thanks for the tip. I will try it

[sharp patrol]

@glacial spear when the expedition 2.3 mod is installed to your gamma mod organiser does it deactivate beef nvgs and 2d scopes?

[light void]

From memory yeah, they're not compatible I think.
Only certain about BEEF though, cause I remember reading it somewhere in the documentation.

[sharp patrol]

@light void cheers man, I’m trying to find some reshades for the environment and npc models do you know any?

[light void]

If you're using EXP complete in your gamma install then it comes with a reshade. It's all I use, so not really sure outside of that.

[sharp patrol]

Alright man cheers

[weary apex]

yea im enjoying it, it has a completely different experience to the game.
and its not that demanding when it comes to computer resources. i even think its lighter than default GAMMA shaders.
but i still think its very dark even in the middle of day. im forced to use flashlight all the time just to see. specially in bases.
also that curser bug is very annoying. when i have crosshair enabled it shows up when im using PDA. have my guns in holster when in bases. maybe you can take a look at it to fix it.

[glacial spear]

the cursor bug I don't think has anything to do with this reshade or profile installation.

regarding the dark areas, maybe try to fiddle with the reshade based on Hippo tips here #╟🎑reshades message

unfortunately the 37- Dynamic Tonemap Extended - TheMrDemonized mod need to be disabled. It use to change some of the user.ltx params in realtime which conflicted with the EXP shaders (blue screen issue). That was ages ago, I'll need to check though if this is still an issue

you can try to enable it and see what it does?

if something is wrong, you disable it and run apply_settings agfain

Also the indoor lighting changes based on the outdoor light. I think to remember I noticed this. Bases are overall brighter if outside is very sunny or midday

You can also try to change the lumscale amb within the console

Type in game console amb

[weary apex]

how to do that exactly? sorry dont have much knowledge regarding this matter

[glacial spear]

open console with tilde key and type amb

change it to a different value (greater or lower) and experiment

hemi instead controls the outdoor lighting

stands for hemisphere I think

if you mess up with values and don't remember the defauls. Run apply_settings it will default back to how it was before

if you are happy with your changes and you want to save them. Exit the game and run save_settings. This way next you you have to run apply_settings your changes will be applied as well

[weary apex]

i mean the eye adaption @manic sage was talking about in his post
#╟🎑reshades message
for example if im outside lumascale_amb = .25 when im inside lumascale_amb = 1

[manic sage]

Na it works in reshade and you mess with the lumscale light scale and dark scale values

takes some experimenting depending on the weather mod, in this case expedition and you set it so that it doesn't affect night time

[glacial spear]

this is something I'll have to figure out myself too lol

let you know if I make some interesting findings

[glacial spear]

by only changing r2_sun_lumscale_amb this is what you get

current (profile default) 0.25

r2_sun_lumscale_amb = 0.6

r2_sun_lumscale_amb = 0.7

and so on

[weary apex]

i have set it to 1. much much better

[manic sage]

Might be a monitor calibration issue. Your black level specifically

Because the .25 from strangerism is dark but the rest are fine .6 and .7 and I'd imagine .5 and possibly .4

[weary apex]

yea .25 is really dark and i tried .6 and .7 it is decent but still not enough for me.
what im looking for now is to lower the bloom just a tiny bit, i mean having the text dialog glow is just annoying, it smudges things up

[past karma]

is there a Honey badger in GAMMA?

oh woops wrong channel

[shy agate]

Can someone help me out? My game looks awful. Im on a fresh install. Theres a 10 metre radius around my player where color banding appears as I walk around

[opal schooner]

what are the default settings for the reshaders? accidentally disabled some

[cloud grove]

Is there a way to increase the contrast between sun and shadow @manic sage

[manic sage]

You can just do this in the reshade

or shader param 4

[weary apex]

check this tut
#╟🎑reshades message

amb = .25

amb = 1

[past karma]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask if I want my game to look better and have smooth FPS. I'm running an intel i3 12th gen with an RTX2060 for my GPU and have been runnning the game on mid-low settings on GAMMA's default shader. Any way to optimize my frames to be a lot more consistent despite the areas I go to?

[past karma]

Plus I also like how these look. Is this a diff shader?

[cloud grove]

what a shader param 4 how to i accesss it

[glacial spear]

in game console tilde key type shader_param_4 and change the values in realtime
shader_param_4 (1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000, -0.200000)

What does values stands for I don't really know though

Once you found the right values for you type save_cfg to save in user.ltx

[dusk spindle]

Guys. I need the original GAMMA reshade preset. Please share.

[manic sage]

So @cloud grove this controls contrast. Simply decreasing the last value to -0.17 from -0.2 will make the game darker and more contrasted

Obviously this is an example

[swift robin]

best gamma reshades i could use ?

[sick flower]

same question

and are there any decent reshades that dont affect on fps much?

[glacial spear]

for reshades look in #1035807043933720576 using tag graphics

[soft light]

I would recommend trying Intradefined reshade, it was beautiful for me and didn't affect fps too much (Also turn off the DELC_Sharpen for more fps)

U can find it on Moddb, try and thank me later 🙂

[lament kettle]

Any one knows a reshade with a bright, blue sky?

[swift robin]

you could try majestic weather

[sacred yoke]

Hi everyone, can u know where can i DL some reshade ?

i just want more colors

[finite warren]

might wanna check out hippo's reshade. https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

@sacred yoke

[cosmic gust]

so i wanted to ask a few things does anyone have any good shader presets for gamma. i think i did something and lost my gamma preset settings while trying to adjust them. i kept looking threw discord but all i found is additional mods.

[stuck grotto]

does anybody has a installer for reshade cuz the website doesnt work

never mind I got it :)

[glacial spear]

you can restore the gamma reshade presets by running the installer only gamma addons or manually copying from \GAMMA\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin to the Anomaly\bin folder

[cosmic gust]

okay thank you

i guess i will not mess with shader presets and use default for now. don't want to break the game agien xD

[glacial spear]

on the contrary. Now that you know how to restore things to normal state, nothing stopping you to experiment with reshades xD

[cosmic gust]

thing is i got a really beffy pc, but no idea how to correctly use custom shaders

[glacial spear]

you start by learning. in #1035807043933720576 there is lots of reshades you can install and as you learned, restoring things to default is easy

check for graphics tab or search reshade

since you have a good pc, no point to stay with gamma offer as default. Adding a new reshade can improve the visual quite a lot

[cosmic gust]

most reshaders requer me to disable some stuff in the mo2 right?

[glacial spear]

most of reshades it's just about replacing stuff in the anomaly/bin folder (which is where reshade officially operate for all games)

some reshade will require to set some user.ltx values (which means editing the user.ltx in anomaly/appdata)

very few will ask to add/disable mods in the modlist these are the most sophisticated ones

however they have instructions so you should be able to do what you need to make them working

[cosmic gust]

example atmospherics guide says i need to disable 6 mods

[glacial spear]

yes, generally it means disable some gamma default visual mods for a new improved version of the same

installing atmospherics requires some steps but it's doable and there is a good visual guide they can link it

[cosmic gust]

that will take some time to find i guess XD

[glacial spear]

on the other end, I am the author of a tool for gamma that automates installations of custom modlist or profiles. With this you can install the atmospherics profile with a simple command and it will configure everything for you.

#1079348191507525705 message

but that's like opening another can of worms haha. you need to install this tool called EXT and since you are new to gamma it might became another thing to learn so maybe is better just go with the manual instructions

[cosmic gust]

yeah its not easy to find mods in mo2 i might try this once i got more time

[glacial spear]

sure, I will soon release a new version of the tool that will streamline a lots of things, including automatic downloads of addons or anything that is required to install a profile

[cosmic gust]

yeah i will try to use the tool if its in anyways easyer

[latent oasis]

Can someone help me? I'm new to reshades, I saw this Golden Autumn Redux texture, how do I install it? I didn't find tutorial or anything like that

[sweet cove]

download a texture pack, then in MO2 press on disk thingie, add the texture pack in there, then simply disable Gardener of the Zone and Simple Autumn Retexture (No Leaves) add-ons. then turn the texture pack on and place it above particles cinematic vfx 3.5 1.1.2

[eager anchor]

hey all is hippos shaders being added for the upcoming patch??

[manic sage]

Yes

[sweet cove]

so good so far

[glacial spear]

My custom EXP shaders now supports BeefsNVG

[quick cedar]

when will the update be released? man, i just crafted my first NVG ever, perfect timing ❤️

[glacial spear]

definitely before the weekend

[swift robin]

anyone have the files to RAW, moddbs been down for a long time

[glacial spear]

no modb seems to be up

[swift robin]

sweet they got it back up

[prisma sand]

ive never seen the level 1 tube be so visible

[glacial spear]

still tweaking the gain level with the exp shaders, if that is even possible to find a good range

[slim flame]

can someone recommend me a shader / graphics mod ?

[slow quartz]

Atmospherics + aydins grass tweaks is quite good, but then again i haven't used many graphics mods besides that . It could be a good start though. Typically i use the summer preset with poison republic reshade preset, but it's all up to you

[swift robin]

anyone got an idea how to properly install raw for gamma, my game looks extremely off

[glacial spear]

I will make an ext profile then (lol)

[sweet cove]

[manic sage]

Would be a great idea for those that want to use RAW

[sacred latch]

Is it just me or does vanilla gamma have no AA or anything? Just started playing and the graphics look kinda off are there any settings I could change in reshade to make graphics look better? Or any easy install presets you use?

Does Gamma not use a reshade preset?

[glacial spear]

this is the way #1086314688721191013 message

[lyric ravine]

just use your own reshade, gamma does come with one by default and it's not great

[cosmic gust]

so i pessed up my shader installation, now my clouds are perma cloudy, it looks way better then before but its also way to depressing to have perma dark clouds XD

[brazen rose]

Hey, sorry i just saw your response. In these screens a I was using one of Hippos Beta Atmospherics. I highly recommend it.

[brisk gyro]

does it support directX 8 ?

[glacial spear]

no

[brisk gyro]

oh:(

[glacial spear]

dx11 as far as I know

[brisk gyro]

we crappy pc boys being left out

[glacial spear]

you not being left out, gamma default should run dx8

[brisk gyro]

yes i meant left out on shader mods, like beefsnvg

[glacial spear]

so neither the beef in gamma can run on dx8?

[brisk gyro]

as far as i know beef runs on dx10 minimum

same as some shader based optics mods

[glacial spear]

if you cannot run shaders on dx8, beef is made of shaders. there is nothing we can do

[brisk gyro]

im aware, its okay, i just have old hardware

[glacial spear]

so anomaly vanilla nvg are also made with shaders, does it mean you play with no nvg at all?

[brisk gyro]

they are? no no i never had any problems with nvgs in anomaly

[glacial spear]

ok so maybe it's the enhanced shaders that you cannot run

I don't know honestly, I am just learning a bit more on how dx8 plays out

which gfx you do you have?

[brisk gyro]

possibly, i tried beef on dx8 anyway and nothing happened after activating them

gfx as graphic card?

[glacial spear]

yes

[brisk gyro]

promise you wont laugh, gtx 660m

[glacial spear]

I used to have that card

[brisk gyro]

its truly a miracle it runs gamma

[glacial spear]

I played Skirim modded with that card if I remember correctly

modded with enb, so at least dx9 can do if I am not mistaken

[brisk gyro]

120 celcius heat moment

[brisk gyro]

ill try it rn and get back to you

[brisk gyro]

does not work, installed everything correctly, there is sound but nothing appear on the screen, funny bcs on his other night vision mod "nv optics" he claims compatibilty with dx8

[glacial spear]

in anomaly shaders files are grouped into three fodlers r1, r2, r3 each one represent a renderer DX8, DX9 and DX10/11 I think

the beef nvg shaders files are only in the r3 folder so I guess they are only for dx10/11 maybe. just guessing. Definitely there is no shader files for the r1 and r2 renderer

[brisk gyro]

forgive me for asking but cant i just copy files into r1 folder?

[glacial spear]

I don't think it will work to be honest

or it would be already a beef mod for dx10 somewhere

[brisk gyro]

i dont understand this man

"Dx8 included"

[glacial spear]

send me link

[brisk gyro]

"wont make nvgs work on dx8"

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/nv-binoc-scopes-toggle-v106-beefs-shader-v111dx8-version-included

what does he mean dx8 version included if that wont work anyway bcs base mod doesnt support dx8

okay i understand now but its very confusing

[glacial spear]

read through it and still not sure what it does lol

bu there it says it won't make beef work on dx8 or dx9 so I guess it must do other things that in dx8/9 work

it's one of those mods where most of the fun is in reading the description :=D

[brisk gyro]

ive noticed that, BUT! this addon require Beef`s NVGs lol

this is contradicting haha

[glacial spear]

it might be depending on it to do other stuff with scopes, e.g. it claims you can have the beef nvg effects in NV scopes or something like that

for sure it is not a version of beef for dx8

[brisk gyro]

yea, and i dont think its coming anytime soon, he said he is working on dx8 version since 2020

[quick cedar]

i tested this with Redux and it seem to work, but the brightness setting doesnt change with the original Beef's NVG. i mean, the NVG brightness is fine because i tuned it, but the NV in the scope doesnt match with the NVG setting

also the heat vision in scope seem to work fine, no problem

[brisk gyro]

that’s good news, however my main problem was Beef NVG alone - not working on dx8, and it still doesn’t for me. Did you try on dx8 too?

[dusky cobalt]

does anyone recall what the default enabled reshades are for gamma?

[glacial spear]

you can just copy the original preset from GAMMA\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin\G.A.M.M.A.Reshade.ini

[swift robin]

ill look into it

thanks dude

[quick cedar]

no i havent... this is on DX11
