[slow copper]

Shit looks depressing af but thats what i like

[lost ice]

I like depressing af too lol

[tender cobalt]

Impressed with your reshade preset mate. Willing to share the .ini? Cheers 🍻

[robust adder]

its not?
i did get it as public iirc

i want this one yo

[tender cobalt]

You get it with zone reality 3 retexture mod. The link to 1K version of the mod:

https://drive.google.com/u/2/uc?id=1T-MdiE4Cf9z631Sth8Y92ZP2zOZMesW9&export=download

[green lake]

Late fall texture pack

there is one that's public

actually 3

but his most recent was from a month ago

[tawdry folio]

well, i was under the impression that its not, my apologies

[green lake]

@swift robin

you need this too

you should go into the quint regrade settings and turn off color remapping

o adjust it to your settings

because in that reshade it makes grass look very ggreen

note that this isnt the current one he

is using

capa im pretty sure is using a different reshade, but it looks fairly similar

i would just tweak the settings

i twaked this reshade, and I use adaptive tonemapper on top of it

at lower settings

but idk

we'll just have to wait until Capa desides his recent reshade is ready for release

[sudden panther]

what texture mod are using? I love the light winter look, doesn't look like Project Invenro or the other winter mods I've seen

[green lake]

late fall

literally made by the guy i pinged

same guy that inverno

[sudden panther]

oh cool, thank you!

[rigid pendant]

Sorry for the late response! So this is just vanilla gamma with my own custom reshade, I can share the Ini if you would like

[rigid pendant]

For sure! Give me a minute to get on the PC and I gotchu

I gotchu give me a minute!

For anyone else who might be interested in my reshade im dropping the .ini here, some attached pics for preview (tweaked for all basic light settings at 1)❤️ These screenshots are from vanilla G.A.M.M.A using only reshade, the preset itself is very performance friendly

Happy hunting stalkers ❤️

[brave temple]

How heavy on the fps is this reshade

[rigid pendant]

Not heavy at all

U lose 10-15 fps with all the effects on vs off, Ill be at like 70 ish with it off and only drops me to 60 with it on typically

Whereas something like atmosr+ just guts your frames by 40

[slow copper]

@rigid pendant hey quick question, how do you apply a reshade?

[rigid pendant]

As in, where do you put the file I gave you or like once you're in game how do you access the reshade pane?

[slow copper]

yes

where do i put it

im also just not sure how to access the pane

[rigid pendant]

download the file I gave you and put it in Anomaly/bin, and then boot up the game once in the game hit home on your keyboard and select my preset from the dropdown at the top

[slow copper]

home key isnt working

e

[brave temple]

-_-

[slow copper]

wait

i got it

[rigid pendant]

Oh good lol, otherwise I was just going to say you don't have reshade installed

If home wasn't working

And just make sure the .Ini is in your anomaly/bin and you're good to go you can just select kyraxs zone from the drop down and you should be set

[slow copper]

alright im going to try it out

[rigid pendant]

For sure !

[brave temple]

well thats weird, I tend to change a few things even when Im playing without shaders presets, but something isnt working right now and I cant open the reshade menu

[rigid pendant]

Hmm that's weird I've never encountered that, my only assumption is maybe you somehow changed the bind to open the reshade menu?

If anything you might have to just reinstall reshade using the gamma launcher

[brave temple]

I also believe the same, but not exactly, I use a 60% keyboard without quite a few keys, + I use a diff keyboard layout

[rigid pendant]

What key opened It before For you? When it was working

[brave temple]

it was working on the correct key which is weird, its the ;: key while holding fn as well

[rigid pendant]

Is it easy to reposition weapons with the mod?

[green lake]

yeah you can find it in mods posting

its a whole pack of repositions for gamma

[rigid pendant]

Ty!

[swift robin]

whats better, saiga or spas 12

[green lake]

saiga

[rigid pendant]

This is like the ultimate swamp vibe

good job 👏

[tender cobalt]

Thanks buddy 👍🏼

[gaunt grail]

@rigid pendant added some spice ontop of yours including Norfair's multi LUT, ADOF, and TFAA

[glacial oxide]

does this hurt fps?

[robust adder]

gpu mostly
if u have it at max load already
then ye its gonna hurt fps

[tidal phoenix]

How do you adjust the gun location ?

[tawdry folio]

which reshade is that?

super creepy

[misty echo]

looks like hunter 2.0

[cobalt parrot]

hey man does this still work?

[placid falcon]

@gaunt grail what is lut adof tfaa

[rigid pendant]

the reshade is very performance considering, roughly 10-12 frame loss with all effects active vs none

[rigid pendant]

Gorgeous.

[rigid pendant]

I would definitely say go ahead and try it out, very minimal performance loss

[gaunt grail]

@placid falcon not in the best place to show at the moment but here's @rigid pendant by itself

here's with my additions

tonemapping + multi LUT from Norfair. corev3 is the first, breeze is the second

ADOF from phroZac to blur stuff in the background when you're looking at an object (looking at the bush here)

[rigid pendant]

the multi lut is very nice there for the blueish green hue

I like adof visually but it was actually affecting my visibility in gameplay so I just said screw it

[gaunt grail]

i play in 2k so these shots also look weird in the discord preview

[rigid pendant]

yeah i play at 1440p too the snips never look as good as in game

[gaunt grail]

the detail is just insane

[rigid pendant]

thats vanilla textures too right

honestly impressive

for what this engine is

[gaunt grail]

i do have ZR3 and aydin's summer grass / fall trees on just for the northern maps

[rigid pendant]

ah okay yeah I thought that looked a lil insane for vanilla

ZR makes sense

good shit though bro, glad you decided to go with mine as a baseline ❤️

[gaunt grail]

@rigid pendant i was doing brain scorcher last night and came out into radar in the middle of the night no moon. i swapped to yours and the dark levels were really well balanced compared to what i was using before. great job!

[rigid pendant]

[placid falcon]

@gaunt grail how do you add that

[gaunt grail]

install norfairs most recent reshade here #1162285292070379530 message and then heres my ini

[waxen quarry]

s

[rigid pendant]

I used your values for your ADOF cause I could never get mine to look good, props

Looks great 👌

[slow copper]

bottom left pic literally looks like real life

[livid meadow]

should i be getting like 75ish fps with fairly constant drops to 45-55fps with a 4060ti and an i7 9700

nofair reshade

brainjackets ingame visual settings but grass is set lower

[wide dune]

W

[glacial oxide]

what best foliage season?

[dull sleet]

depends on your preference. Summer/spring with tall grass/high density looks good but can make combat difficult

[quiet imp]

phrozac badlands

[tidal phoenix]

above 0,7 combat and looting get's really hard but density doesn't really effect combat for summer
Spring 1.0 is good hard for combat but lower density sort of cancels it out

[buoyant vine]

ready to be overwhelmed by mutants at the swamps

[placid falcon]

@glacial oxide i like spring. It looks really good

[nova frigate]

@nimble fern you may want to try making a preset from scratch with the fresh reshade install. try just one effect at a time and see how your performance is impacted and if it's acceptable to you or not. if it's acceptable, you know you can try adding some more effects from the default GAMMA presets, but if not, well... no using those effects :p

[tiny jackal]

I've been looking to try out some shaders but I've seen people on about using HD model textures and things, aren't these already included in GAMMA and would you necessarily need them to make the shaders come alife more (was wondering as well if you can activate two presets at the same time or merge them)

[nimble fern]

But I'm sooooo lazy. I tried that one time and I think my favorite is fast effects with fake GI, which is extremely performant. I think that's the only non-negotiable one.

[nimble fern]

You cannot active two presents at the same time but you could manually merge them if you have the time.

HD models and textures being included in GAMMA is some yes, some no. Some look really bad and it's up to Grok if he wants to include a given mod or not. I personally agree with his taste a lot so, no need to change any of that.

But the direct answer to that question is no, you don't need any textures or HD models to "bring the shaders alive"

[tiny jackal]

I've had a long day so maybe I could've explained a bit better but that's the answer I was wanting, thank you;
been messing around with the body cam preset and there's some custom fx parts from others that would look gorgeous once I've had a mess about, will post a print screen for anyone interested in-case anyone wants to try it

[slow star]

yep

[frail garden]

Is there a way to eliminate (or minimize) the blur-ish effect TFAA applies when you move? Its hard to describe but I think I notice it most on rain puddle reflections

[cobalt parrot]

enable motion vectors or DRME and place it above TFAA

if it's still not enough, use motion vectors and change the settings to "full resolution"

will look better but it costs frames

[frail garden]

[tawdry folio]

DRME is better but more performance heavy, from my experience "full res" for either of those is a must

[fringe geyser]

Considering sticking one on my game fellas, any low-impact recommendations? Kinda sticking around 50-60 FPS (capped anyways so no idea on real perf) so i'd rather not play with too much fire

[rigid pendant]

Theres a few good options, you can try #1162285292070379530 message - Norfair's Core V3, or another popular one is #╟🎑reshades message, I myself also have a preset, I find I get the best performance using it due to the fact it utilizes more performance effective AA - Ill attach the .ini for that as well if you want to give it a try

[fringe geyser]

Thanks!

[fringe geyser]

Any notes i should keep in mind for the game's internal settings?

[rigid pendant]

Disable the in game anti aliasing - smaa included as well as all the SSAO settings should be disabled

world rendering distance is important to balance because too low things will start popping in and too high might be too much of a performance hit

disable the mask overlay in Visual > Player for a free 5 fps

make sure vsync is disabled and youre playing in fullscreen

Otherwise take a look through https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1089156086172499978 to see if theres any optimizations you may want to try, although if youre looking for a reshade a lot of these tips are only going to make your game look worse, some are potentially quick free frames though.

[fringe geyser]

Thanks

Time to see how good i can make this, then

[pine trench]

I just did the 'black screen' fix, but all my reshade presets are gone, anyone know where I'd go to get them back?

[rare fractal]

tell me the default settings in this preset, accidentally reset it

or give me file of this preset

[nova frigate]

look in your GAMMA mod organizer folder, for example: "C:\Games\Stalker\GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin"

[nova frigate]

also in English typically such questions include "please" "thanks" etc 🙂

[stone ivy]

if your posh and proper yes

but this is the internet

[flat zealot]

Sorry if this has been already posted but since the new update, there is something I can only describe as a shimmer that shows up on the ground when I am moving. It appears to look like a form of TAA but seems to be highly localized to a strip in the middle of my screen (I have recorded it and confirmed this was happening in the rendered frames and is not a hardware issue). I've tried changing random AA settings (both in game and with various reshade effects) to no real effect. Anyone else experiencing something similar or have any known solutions to this issue?

The effect is very similiar to what AA looks like with trees swaying and you have AA at 0x, a sort of off by one pixel pattern that looks pretty bad. Thing is, with the ground it's even worse because of the colors involved.

[ionic elbow]

any recs. for gamma/inverno?

[rare fractal]

I left a reaction to help

[faint ore]

hey guys could someone recommend me some good reshades to try?

[mental vessel]

Good day, stalkers. Simple question: where should I get filmicsharpen.fx for PerfectPerspective shader? It comes with GAMMA, nothing tricky

[mental vessel]

Hello again. Why Reshade menu doesn't see Filmicshapren.fx? I checked, directory are right 100%
Didn't touch anything

[fierce tulip]

How do you make the game look like tha

That's so cinematic

[mystic gulch]

clarity+ is giving me urge to touch my pp

[shadow herald]

Can someone with rain puddles and wet surfaces working send me the User.ltx you're using?

I disabled a old shader i was using "Jaku's Improved Shaders" because it isnt working anymore with SSS 18, i have some custom values in my user.ltx that i think disabled these effects

[rapid turret]

Does gamma come with a shader installed or something you can tweak? Or something I can enable with the menu i can enable as a starting point and play with, because damn these screenshot look amazing

[lost ice]

press the home key and start goofing around in that menu, see what happens!

[sonic hazel]

Is clarity+ built into the Gamma pack (clicking home) or did you get that elsewhere?

[rustic rampart]

so ive loaded up my game today and am stuck like this. Everything works, game isnt frozen but I cant see anything. I think ive narrowed it down to reshade. home button doesnt work anymore and so Ive attempted to reinstall reshade but it doesnt seem to do anything. Anyone have a suggestionn?

[rigid pendant]

Disable each effect individually in your preset, see if one of them specifically is causing it

[sonic hazel]

Having a hell of a time finding a preset I like. Anybody have any good recommendations or even ini’s?

[rigid pendant]

#╟🎑reshades message Is a popular reshade, norfairs core V3 is included with gamma now and is very popular, I also have a reshade ill include the .ini for in this message so you can try it out as well.

[rigid pendant]

Finding a good base preset you like and tweaking from there is also not a bad idea.

[sonic hazel]

Thank you, Stalker 🙏🏻

[rigid pendant]

Updated the link in my first message, it went to the wrong message, my bad. Should take you to the hunter reshade message now

[green lake]

give me texture packs to use chat

[cobalt parrot]

sorry for bothering you but do you have any idea why the scope_factor thing wouldn't work? no matter what value I put it in it doesn't change to PiP

[green lake]

why would you want PiP

[cobalt parrot]

looks cool

[green lake]

it halves your fps

literaly

unless you have like

144 fps to spare

[misty echo]

which reshade is that?

[green lake]

mine

inspired by capa;s

im on 4k just like him

[misty echo]

ok

[green lake]

still working out some kinks and twists though

[misty echo]

np just curious

[green lake]

i tried making i tan LUT didnt look the same though

i'll figure it out

[cobalt parrot]

I've had it enabled before and it wasn't that bad, I just can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get it working again

[green lake]

dont enable it

:)

[cobalt parrot]

gotta

[green lake]

only mod that like

does PIP good

is uhhhh

desolation

[slow star]

That's weird!
In default gamma, it should work by default ~ scope_factor of 0.5 for example zooms quite a bit inside the scope while maintaining a far FoV outside of it , and no, it does not affect your FPS at all., That's the beauty of SDS. Especially on higher resolutions, the shader trick downside (pixelation) is not that apparent.

Make sure it's enabled inside Options > Modded Exes

[green lake]

oooh that's what he's talking about

whoopsies

[slow star]

👍 np yeah he meant the "PiP" effect from SDS, which simulates the real pip

[cobalt parrot]

yeah idk what's up everything looks alright it's almost like the console command just isn't having any effect

it's alright, I need to do the big update anyway

maybe it'll fix itself once I'm on the newest ver

thank you for your help though!

[slow star]

No problem, anytime caj.
Let me know if you were able to fix it!

just in case, my SDS settings (99% default gamma, i just use scope_factor 0.5 and scope_ca 0)

[swift robin]

Hello! I use qUINT_dof with manual focus depth. Does anyone know a setting (if its possible) to not make the sky out of focus when i use it?

[tender cobalt]

@rigid pendant Hey mate I'm really loving your reshade preset. It's not very taxing on the system, and the visuals are great! Looking forward to any changes (if at all) you're gonna make to the preset. Nice work bud! 👍🏼

[rigid pendant]

Glad you like it 💯💯

[rigid pendant]

The above picture is basically the same preset but going for more of a radioactive color hue, just playing around with what looks ood

good*

[gaunt grail]

check the phrozac presets for ADOF settings or play around with the r_dof console commands maybe?

[swift robin]

i use the presets from phrozac and it works fine when i use Autofocus. But i want to use Manual focus depth. I think it would be cool effect to have the sky in focus and have som dof on ground, but i dont know, maybe it looks bad :p

[gaunt grail]

try cinematicDOF? here's some settings to get you started i didn't really tweak much. far plane max blur at 0 ensures the far stuff is always in focus

[CinematicDOF.fx]
AutoFocusPoint=0.500000,0.500000

[swift robin]

Nice thank you! im gonna try out CinematicDOF. More options too tweak there.

[mystic gulch]

#╟🎑reshades message its from hunter 2.0 reshade

i bet you know how to install it

you have a lot of options there to choose your liking

but clarity+ is god damn

oh and i also highly recommend using zone reality 0.3 texture pack

[lean chasm]

any1 know a nice reshade thats not to intensive on fps for Project_inverno?

[tender cobalt]

Nice! Seeing all these peeps talking about dof...have you played around with any reshade dof settings to add to your preset?

[rigid pendant]

Yeah I have a version with DoF working, I'll share it with ya later td when I'm home if ya want

[swift robin]

You might want to check out the Svarog mod I posted in the #1092834455300866068 . Just load it after the DAR and you'll have colored Svarog anomaly spots and artifacts will be just yellow dots intead of a massive crossed blob

[green lake]

cool

[nova coral]

Please could you post this lol

[mystic gulch]

#╟🎑reshades message

here

[nova coral]

If i installed INVERNO would it work after installing zone reality

[mystic gulch]

if you reset your shader cache

it should

i mean inverno is not compatible with zone reality

its one or another

[marsh mural]

just found this message, so you are actually overwriting some textures from ZR with GTR? Is that the original mod or the optimized one? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/global-texture-rework-gtr-optimized

[slow star]

I'm using the original GTR beta (not the optimized one)
and i'm making sure ZR overwrites it

[marsh mural]

if that got overwrite, why are we using GTR

[slow star]

I'm using GTR as a base because it will cover any texture that ZR is not modifying

Overwritting doesn't mean it's completely discarting the ovewritten mod

just the conflicting files

[marsh mural]

Is that a hard fps hit for GTR?

[slow star]

For me no

idk how it's gonna be for others

it just takes a little longer to load the game

[marsh mural]

ok cool, cuz my gpu is burning with ZR lol

[slow star]

Oh then dont use GTR non-optimized

[rigid pendant]

@gaunt grail drop a pic of how you've got your setup looking now, Ik you've been doing some modifying

[marble relic]

Direct me to the correct place if needed, but how do I get the scope zoomed in without the background being zoomed in?

[azure canopy]

The zone + old footage preset looks cool

[swift robin]

Can i get the reshade presets for this as well as required shaders if necessary? 😮

[ashen lodge]

thanks for the hunter link trying it now and looks great

i never have a nice blue sky though

[gaunt grail]

I will in a bit still at work. Mostly optimizing the faster preset to replace RTGI

[topaz girder]

Is this the appropriate place to ask how to install shaders?

[tender cobalt]

Perfect! 😀

[green lake]

what kind of shaders

for reshade?

or something like SSS

[topaz girder]

um honestly i was just kinda jealous of everyone's screenshots n stuff.lol was wonderin if it was a mod db thing or if its all just custom settings

[gaunt grail]

last modification. heavy / light

current modifications. heavy / light

ill try and find a better scene its early AM here but mostly got the lighter looking better and increased FPS on em both with grass shadows + max view distance

[topaz girder]

reshade, i got no clue how that works, keep seeing people with it open and using ti but im not sure where to start

[gaunt grail]

replaced RTGI with blooming HDR on the light one to simulate some of the RTGI light diffusion

[green lake]

press your home button

first look though all the normal presets that come with gamma

[topaz girder]

oh shit, thx.lol

will do!

[gaunt grail]

old light > new light

[slow star]

Guys,
How do you feel about making a Google Sheets with a list of all the reshade presets from the community available and their download link? (be it with their discord comment link or whatever) And a quick guide tutorial on top, so whenever newcomers need help, we can just link the google sheet?

@rigid pendant @gaunt grail

[gaunt grail]

old heavy > new heavy

[slow star]

We got many presets that should be easy to access to everyone, but they're easily forgotten by discord's fast-paced message nature

[gaunt grail]

i think thats a great freakin idea

[rigid pendant]

That sounds like a good idea, I'm not familiar with sheets but I'm sure it's easy to use, it would just be about compiling all the files really

In an easy way to access

[slow star]

Yeah it's basically an excel where you can collab with other people (you allow them to edit and done)

[gaunt grail]

another option would be creating a github repo

[slow star]

If any of you both have time to do this, I personally think it would help everyone who wants to improve their graphics and doesn't know how to navigate discord

The problem with a PR, i feel like it'd be less accessible to some people

[rigid pendant]

A pinned message we can just direct newcomers too with all the popular community reshades would be

[slow star]

Google sheet is basically > They open the link, see a list > click download on any of them and try it out

[gaunt grail]

github would just give people the full zip to download but im ok with sheets as well. where is ideal to host files for sheets?

just drive?

[slow star]

the problem with this is approach ~ I (personally) feel like re-distributing the presets would get tricky, especially when some authors are inactive or someone could be against that, due to update or personal reasons

A direct link to the discord message should work, right?

[gaunt grail]

works for me!

[rigid pendant]

A direct link to a discord message where they can download the .Ini, as long as they have discord they can get the file

[slow star]

Yeah or mediafire IMO

Drive is good too, if you have an acc

Sounds good. Well, and if anyone is reading this, please list up all the (with comment link) reshades the community has made so far (publicly available) that you know of

Currently I can't do this google sheet due to some time constraints but if one of you guys do it, that would be great. Just share the link here when you have it

[gaunt grail]

yep ill ping you in a bit

[slow star]

No hurry. I'm in a bar 😄

BTW Great work you two on the reshades, keep it up

Dont forget about Lars' preset

0score too, has a thread, he left sadly, but still, he spent a long time on those

[rigid pendant]

Yeah we can start with a bunch of the main popular ones and just keep adding stuff over time that gets dug up or made

[slow star]

Sounds like a plan.

Lars' #╟🎑reshades message

[rigid pendant]

That's awesome !

Im new to the server by measure so there's probably a lot I haven't seen

I look forward to getting them all displayed somewhere they don't get forgotten

[slow star]

Absolutely! anyone will be able to just link this google sheet when somebody asks, and save like 20 minutes of explanation☕

We can even add preview images (links to i.imgur) to each preset, on a cell.

[rigid pendant]

A little info box w reshade faq

Lol

[slow star]

Yep

[cobalt parrot]

you guys are doing the lord's work

[slow star]

dont forget about an imgur gif showing how to drag and drop into anomaly/bin which some people have a hard time with

[cobalt parrot]

or how to enable tfaa

[rigid pendant]

The tfaa guide is a must

[slow star]

i got a guide for that if you want to have a base/copypaste stuff

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

[green lake]

i thought you did the uh

** path instead

[slow star]

I did it like this and not with recursive searching (the /** thing) because some people have duplicated shaders and they will mess it up with that other method

It's gonna save us all a lot of repeated questions in the long run

[rigid pendant]

Yeppp

[slow star]

Recursive search is better though, if they have a clean gamma reshade-shaders folder

ever since I explained it like this, I had basically zero people asking about duped shaders

[slow star]

For example, with this method you miss adaptivefog, and a few filmic passes. (i dont use them) but maybe y'all do.
I'll leave it up to you, which method to use!

[green lake]

yeah tha thappened to me too

[rigid pendant]

I can't afford to use TFAA and motion vectors 😭

[slow star]

Eh, I dont use it anymore :p at least with Aydin's grass'

[rigid pendant]

Honestly shimmery trees don't look as bad If you do some peripheral dof magic mixed with some tweaked regular AA, I noticed shimmering trees are by far the worst when using the winter trees with no leaves

[slow star]

Just iSMAA and some good old man vision

[rigid pendant]

And it's a bunch of sharp branches

[slow star]

Exactly

[rigid pendant]

The leaves do most of the work honestly

[slow star]

Absolutely, go to older textures and it's painful

Aydin did some black magic with the LODs on his grass/leaves textures, thats why it looks so good without any AA

[rigid pendant]

It honestly looks so good, I just use the martymods SMAA and fxaa and it costs like no frames

Good deal to me 👌

[slow star]

Yes, same here

[rigid pendant]

Also peripheral DoF from SSS in the MCM settings is actually super nice if that's your kind of thing

Ik you know this

I'm just saying as a general praise of the feature 😁

[slow star]

☕

I really like DoF. Subjective, ofc

[rigid pendant]

When you aim down sights

[slow star]

Well, not for ads, I have it only for far distance and peripheral

[rigid pendant]

DoF works magic to keep the background from getting too weird looking and unrendered

[rigid pendant]

That doesent even look like it was in game

Looks like promo

[slow star]

[rigid pendant]

I feel like another good thing to add to the sheet would be a list of fps tweaks that don't really murder visuals

Like the shadowmap stuff

Etc and like the dynamic despawner

And zcp

[slow star]

Yeah good idea, maybe the sheet should have either, sections OR just 2 or 3 pages/tabs at the bottom

[swift robin]

i want my game to look like that

[rigid pendant]

And maybe some tweaks in SSS but idk what is safe to mess with as far as that goes or not

[slow star]

When sunn posts it tell him to make you an editor and add those things, sounds good

[rigid pendant]

Yep yep

The one stop shop to reshading without frying your gamma install or computer

[slow star]

that's "Ghost" lut from my MULTI preset (check my thread) with it's ADOF effect turned ON
SSS peripheral DOF increased
4k screenshot
foggy weather

gotta go, night's getting good 🍺 cya and thanks for making the google sheet guys.

[topaz girder]

couldnt find the keybind in game or in #│💻keybinds-in-gamma, what opens the brightness/cont/gamma sliders?

[green lake]

press esc

go to settings

press basic light settings

[topaz girder]

Thx again.

[slow star]

looking good

[green lake]

Inspied by Capa

and thanks

i would be playing on 4x DSR like capa is

but id rather be on 2.25 DLDSR for my performance

im still getting 1620p though

[slow star]

How much fps?

I'm playing on 1160p, it's my jam. does not go below 70fps

[green lake]

well i am fiddling with my grass rn

so my performance is going down a little

im at around 40 fps with reshade on

but i have gras shadows on at grass size at 1

in cordon i would be getting like 60 frames

but with 4k on i was getting 40 frames in cordon

[slow star]

You should definetely post the preset when you finish it

So it's on the google sheet list the guys are building

[green lake]

ok

[gaunt grail]

@slow star i gotta get off but heres a quick pass. edits should be open lmk if i missed anything. screenshots would be nice but i'm not sure the best way to include them https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing

[rigid pendant]

That's sick!!

Gj!

[slow star]

GJ

note to others: to add screenshots to presets ~ upload image to imgur > right click > open image > copy url link (should be i.imgur)
and put that link in a cell next to the presets

Thanks Sunn.

[gaunt grail]

would links to discord assets be publicly accessible? ill go through and take screens for each one tomorrow but its probably not a job i wanna uphold forever lol

[green lake]

its time to add some extra effects to my cappa reshade copy

[slow star]

Yes, the link to the file itself is public and accesible from the web, IIRC

for example if you right click on hunter2.0's .zip link, it should say "Open link" or "Copy link"
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/927860562677878795/1145688330428743730/Hunter_2.0_Reshade.zip
And this is downloadable from anywhere

you can remove the url param (from the ? sign onwards) and it works aswell

Maybe it could show two cells for links: One for the direct download (like above, the .zip from discordapp)

And a second one with a link pointing to the OG comment/thread where the file was located. (In case that the author had some notes/instructions about the preset.)
This second cell could be shorter in width.

[rigid pendant]

Making a message for a version of my reshade that has DoF and slightly altered color and lighting that I think looks a bit better ❤️

I want to add a spot for the link to this message above but I dont want to mess up the formatting 💀

[gaunt grail]

tomorrow ill replace the link / download / screenshot columns with 🔗 💾 📷 emojis but i haven't used sheets in a minute and looks like i gotta whip up a script to auto change the links

[slow star]

You can insert a new row if you want

If thats what you meant

[rigid pendant]

yep

!

ty

thats 100% what I meant

[slow star]

insert 1 row above yea

[rigid pendant]

If anyone with the capability to pin sees this, that would be huge!

[slow star]

I'd say once its clean enough and polished, tag a moderator

[rigid pendant]

Another foggy day in the zone, but the reduced visibility results in increased frames im pretty sure so I cant complain

[dusty bone]

What gun is this?

[swift robin]

Can you recommend shaders for an average laptop with the following characteristics: GTX 1650, Ryzen 7 3750h, 16gb RAM, SSD.
I would like 60 fps on 1920 1080

[misty echo]

#1162285292070379530 message

also permanent 60+ fps is a pipe dream

[swift robin]

thank you

[misty echo]

ye

[rigid pendant]

That is a supressed AK12

[dusty bone]

Thought it looked like an ak platform but couldn’t quite tell

[rigid pendant]

Real pretty eh

Lovely lookin ak

[heady compass]

nice send your settings reshades

[rigid pendant]

This is my most up to date preset, theres also one without depth of field blurring, ill put below this one

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing Other popular reshades can be found in this spreadsheet with links to the downloads.

[heady compass]

should I put it in the console?

[rigid pendant]

no you put the downloaded file into your anomaly\bin folder, example : C:\Anomaly\bin

[vocal quiver]

Which one is the default? GAMMA reshade or AtmosGANNA?

[crimson badge]

AtmosR

And cfg_load AtmosR in console

[torpid charm]

Default is atmosGamma

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590 // you can check everything here

[tender cobalt]

Can anyone send me a link containing the default reshade-shader folder that comes with fresh gamma installation? Much appreciated 👍🏼

[tender cobalt]

Lovely! Cheers 🍻

[stuck grotto]

whats the best anti allising in the reshade menu?

[tender cobalt]

I'm following @slow star suggested AA settings, and it works flawlessly. However, DRME can be taxing on the system
#╟🎑reshades message

Or else you can use the aa settings @rigid pendant uses in his preset. Very lightweight and performance friendly preset.

#╟🎑reshades message

[midnight basin]

whenever i look at this channel i automatically feel bad about my game despite it looking okay in screenshots lmao

[mystic gulch]

I'll fix it up when i leave work

[sonic hazel]

What preset are you using? Looks dynamite.

[green lake]

mine

[sonic hazel]

It would seem so

[mystic gulch]

here you have everything i installed to get this

[mystic gulch]

here is reshade preset

and this is how i use it

[mystic gulch]

mornings also look pretty cool for my taste

[vocal quiver]

Started a game and everything is "bright". Deleting shader cache doesn't help

[mystic gulch]

basic light settings in video options?

[vocal quiver]

Didn't change that

[mystic gulch]

you checked in reshade menu?

[crimson badge]

wow, what preset is this ?

[mystic gulch]

its hunter 2.0 clarity+

plus zone reality and new version of atmoshperics

[crimson badge]

thanks

[mystic gulch]

it reminds me a bit of tarkov tbh

[crimson badge]

well mine looks like this, sharp blurry yuck, idk whats wrong with it xd

[vocal quiver]

this?
restart the game and delete shader cach again it's a bit better now

[vocal quiver]

omg i should check this channel more often

[mystic gulch]

more like this

check if you didnt click something like fake hdr

or you have to change your preset

on top

[mystic gulch]

turn off magic bloom

in reshade menu

oh and i have color saturation on 1.2

in basic light menu

you can check above what i turned off

[crimson badge]

capa_spring looks much better for me

[mystic gulch]

oh yes, its my second favourite

[crimson badge]

with the atmos_spring2 cfg

[mystic gulch]

this is mine capa preset

and this is clarity+

imo clarity tops here

even the gun look different

better

[crimson badge]

norfair wanderer is good too

[mystic gulch]

try strategist

if the sharpening is too much for you turn it off

[mystic gulch]

it may look better

[crimson badge]

too saturated for my liking

[mystic gulch]

im a fan of saturation

there is a lot to discover in reshade presets

im actualy in love in clarity+

maybe next playthrough i will use something more grim and desaturated

i feel like its gonna be completely different experience

with fdda animations and stuff

[vocal quiver]

what is the default btw all 1?

[mystic gulch]

umm i guess?

dont remember tbh

[mystic gulch]

same as stalker 2 trailer lol

nice one

[green lake]

@slow star

here's the reshade

put it in that doc

needs this

im calling it Lite because I wanna put some extra effects ontop of it

oh maybe i should've called it default

oh well

also credit to capa

for his older Capa spring reshade

i used that as a base

[mystic gulch]

What is this reposition mod?

[green lake]

look u[

reposition

in mods posting

i forgot which one it was

but its in there somewhere

[mystic gulch]

alright, thanks

[slow star]

you can put it too, so when you need to edit it or add more variants, it's easier

sunn made it public edit 😄

Nice work !

[green lake]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

ok

[slow star]

Gamma Reshade database
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing

[green lake]

ok i put it in there

[slow star]

Nice

[green lake]

i havent figured out a name

its called ROTZ 1.0 for now

rays of the zone

[slow star]

I'll test yours after i return home next week

[green lake]

cool

and then you can tell me stuff i can fix

[slow star]

Sure, it already looks good from the screenshots👍

[green lake]

thanks!

i wanna add more effects like CA

and AA

like yours does

[slow star]

Make two versions

[green lake]

ok

[slow star]

one "lite" like you said and then, 2nd version add everything you want to it

[green lake]

yess

and then i'll start diving into making my own LUTs

[slow star]

Sounds good

[rigid pendant]

Yesss more people on the database

More reshades

[green lake]

i'll have to try your reshade

with 1620p

[rigid pendant]

You probably wont find it to be that special, its more of a reshade for people who want a nicer looking game without murdering frames, check it out though for sure

Im just actually quite hardware limited so the inspiration for the reshade came from me just wanting to have a balance between a nice looking gamma and decent performance

Hoping to upgrade PC this year

[misty echo]

@green lake are these the proper effects? just want to check all the correct ones are activated

i obv ticked iaa myself

it does look great..makes the grass look super soft

[green lake]

move FGX under Reinhard linear

[misty echo]

that did make a difference

nice

oh yeah, this is the fucking one

[green lake]

:D

[misty echo]

fgfx is doing some weird shit, is it supposed to to make it pitch black in buildings?

[green lake]

yeah

you can change that by uhh

turning up the auto gain effect

to 0.5 or 1

but it does sometimes make the FGX effect a little bright when outside

and doesnt get the authentic FGX efffect

but i dont really mind it

[topaz girder]

Is this with any additional textures or just reshade?

[misty echo]

aydin summer is all

[topaz girder]

Looks awesome man.

[gaunt grail]

just finished the script to replace links with emojis. should be a bit cleaner now. when you paste a link into one of those columns it'll auto do it

[green lake]

thank you 🙏

[slow star]

Thanks, sunn

This is gonna be great for everyone

[gaunt grail]

@slow star can you see the app scripts in case something needs modification? im not sure how collab works with scripts https://script.google.com/u/0/home/projects/1VdH_FzgIOVY0UUgwDY8OUM_YNTqJJAZvogNOtjzWefbRHng2VijB7hmU/edit

[slow star]

Looks good. Would it be better to use typeof dataCheckValues === 'string' instead of truthy statement?

If theres no need, all good

[gaunt grail]

probably im a backend dev during the day so JS isn't my strong suit 😄

[slow star]

All good, no worries

[undone stump]

want to ask, how to disable autumn leaf from Gamma ? i want to return it to the original look (green)

[misty echo]

disable grass tweaks

[rigid pendant]

I wouldnt disable grass tweaks just reinstall it and use spring or summer presets which are more green

Otherwise you're downgrading the quality of your grass

[misty echo]

or you could do that

[undone stump]

thank you, but does it require new save game ? my game won't load after i reinstall it

crashed

[rare leaf]

ow what`s rashade?

[drowsy osprey]

Anyone have good depth of field settings? I'm trying to find something that feels immersive and subtle

[crimson badge]

Try copying one from phrozac, they look pretty good imo

[rigid pendant]

What norfair said, it's in the database ❤️

[rigid pendant]

Norfair I realized that fall trees work really well with the winter grass to get the winter vibe without the leafless trees all shimmering like crazy

Feeling like the perfect combo for that late seasonal vibe

[marble relic]

The reshade database is what we have all wanted.

[midnight basin]

Included By: Yes

this is such a cool effect lol

[green lake]

why is it so far from his head

[gaunt grail]

i went through and added screenshots for most of the default gamma presets. would be nice to make a comparison tool with a slider to compare two presets but im not sure the best way to do this

[green lake]

does he have a selfie stick attached to his helmet?

[midnight basin]

usually the camera protrudes from around the shoulder/one of the sides of the helmet in footage like that

[green lake]

no

they dont

[midnight basin]

if it's like police AXON footage

but it's just a demo record command thingie

[green lake]

no axon footage i've seene very looks like this lmao

its ltierally not even connected to his shoulder

[midnight basin]

i couldn't get a different angle without clipping the hands

[green lake]

rip

hopefully you can find a fix for it

[midnight basin]

they're literally floating in the air lol

[green lake]

yeah that's

[gaunt grail]

i used .ltx for the presets that offered them and took the shots in a fresh gamma install without extra packs

[green lake]

how the sleeves work

they just float in the air

lmao

[midnight basin]

yeah plus unforunately you can't go above 0.57 HUD FOV without seeing clipping

and i think the default is 0.65 although i might be wrong

[green lake]

it is

[midnight basin]

at least it was for me before i changed it

[green lake]

0.65

[midnight basin]

yeah so if you take out your bolt and throw it you'll find that the left hand clips, same when you take items with your left hand with FDDA active

cannot unsee anymore 😩

do you know of a way to return presets back to their default values?

like after i've messed with them is it possible to reset them or are they just saved and that's it

[rigid pendant]

just download a fresh .ini and replace it over the one you have in your anomaly\bin

if its one in the database you can get it there otherwise wherever the download was

[midnight basin]

yeah i guess you're right

deciding on what preset to use challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[rigid pendant]

Would you be able to add a link to a screenshot of mine if I just dropped the pic here?

Not sure how I would do it

the emojis look really good too

clean

[gaunt grail]

just paste your link into the spreadsheet

you can grab the discord link if you click open in browser on the pic

[rigid pendant]

👍

[gaunt grail]

yep u got it 😄

[rigid pendant]

Alright now everything on there has a visual preview

nicee

[gaunt grail]

would love to get something like this going but not sure it would be possible with how texture pack / scene dependent these reshades are https://img-comparison-slider.sneas.io/examples.html#always-show

[rigid pendant]

I'm impressed at what you've managed so far so anything else at this point is just the absolute cherry on top

[slow star]

Yep thats what I do!

[slow star]

imgsli but that'd be manual, dont know about any automated tools

oh you got a component, nice

[gaunt grail]

v3 in the works... some of the dark spots were clipping. old vs new

pretty cool stuff https://imgsli.com/MjIzODkx

[slow star]

[shut veldt]

Adding fisheye to this and making it look like a police bodycam (on the torso) would go crazy

[midnight basin]

it already is using the only fisheye effect present in ReShade

and i added the minor CRT effect you're seeing if you zoom in since the others felt too overwhelming

like this is the only one you could even remotely play with

[midnight basin]

actually maybe the curve is customizeable i didn't check

[shut veldt]

Yeah it’s minor enough that’s it’s visible but not too overwhelming

[shut veldt]

But I’ve never seen vids with bodycams over the shoulder like that, usually the ones I’ve watched they’ve had it on their torso?

[midnight basin]

i can't use the torso perspective because the arms get cut off

[shut veldt]

Ahhh I see

[midnight basin]

i want to toy with the preset more after dawn

see if i can maybe get a cool effect going

[shut veldt]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/zedds-body-cam-reshade

This guy tried doing it as well, looks like he just went with the bodycam being on the helmet/at eye level

[green lake]

I made one so much better than that

imo

[shut veldt]

You have a pic? Curious to see what you’ve managed to do, everything I’ve tried was a fail

[green lake]

sure hold

these are all super old

so its still in the 1st person frame

[shut veldt]

Dammnnnnn

[green lake]

the last one is the most up to date one

and probably the most accurate

[shut veldt]

Can you send the .ini file? New to reshade so idk if it would work cause I’m guessing I don’t have all the correct stuff installed

[green lake]

its gone

that was from like

a year ago

but i could maybe remake it sometime

seeing the new mods for body cam esque footage

[shut veldt]

Yeah I saw the trailer for that one game and realized how the bodycam filter makes a game look so much more realistic

[green lake]

unrecord

[shut veldt]

So I’m trying to find a good one

[green lake]

yeah

[shut veldt]

Yeah that one

[green lake]

atmos body doesnt do it accurately

none of these really do

it jsut a fisheye filter

mine actually implements JPG distorsion

and other things of that nature

and set resolutions to make the footage lower quality

[shut veldt]

Maybe I’ll get into reshade and tinker a bit, relatively new to stalker and reshade as a whole so we’ll see

[shut veldt]

Do you need to install stuff to be able to modify things like that?

[green lake]

no

im talking about like

moving the camera

so its like

yknow

not 1st person

[shut veldt]

Ah so the jpeg distortion is just moving the cam? I’ve only used presets till now in reshade so not really aware of what’s what

[midnight basin]

oh shit i see you guys found ways to make this work

this is the best i can do, i don't have much leeway

the models just cut off and it gets worse if you turn on third person view

added a little CA-like effect and a tilt

[agile heath]

In my opinion it would look best at chest level below the arms, but I imagine that would be difficult to play with

[shut veldt]

Yeah but aiming would be fucked :/

Honestly at arm level (like the bodycam in unrecord) it would be playable

[midnight basin]

nice translator btw

[agile heath]

Anything that makes it less like the bodycam is in the players eyeballs would be better, IMO it really needs to be "off center" to deliver the effect

[green lake]

NO

OH caps

the jpeg distortion effect is in reshade

it doesnt ajust the cam...

im talking about MODS

that do it

[green lake]

like this

idk if thats a mod or not

but still

the jpeg distortion simulates the way that jpeg's handle images

and distorts it making a more body cam esque feel

in the effect

[shut veldt]

So your bodycam preset is purely reshade effects?

[green lake]

yeah

[shut veldt]

I gotta learn more about reshade cause that bodycam preset you had looked sick, going to try to make one later

[midnight basin]

what, the positioning and tilt?

it's not a mod, it's just me standing still and using the demo_record 1 command then positioning the camera and tilting it to take the screenshot

it's just for the screenshot

[midnight basin]

what you see in the screenshot is ReShade effects and also the linked images are also just presets i believe

i mean we are in #╟🎑reshades right lol

[green lake]

o

[midnight basin]

hey if you know of a mod that does this then by all means

[green lake]

havent found it yet

[slow star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh6mbGs42NY

[midnight basin]

oh wow, very cool, time to try this

[green lake]

oh yeah

i saw that video

the ershade looks not so good

[midnight basin]

nice tarkov music in the BG lol

[green lake]

looks like its on a tv

instead of a bodycam

[shut veldt]

In the desc it says it’s just a tweaked version of the ready or not bodycam reshade no?

[green lake]

i did that too

i used the same reshade and mashed a bunch of effects with it

to make it look like unrecord

[slow star]

Im not talking bout the reshade

[green lake]

ik

im talking abotu the reshade

and youre not

the camera position is cool though

[midnight basin]

oh hang on you need some special stuff to use this?

[green lake]

no

thats for...

ready or not

not anomaly

lmao

just install the reshade

[midnight basin]

oh pfffff

i missed the section in which this was posted

[slow star]

no dw i was replying to killz

[midnight basin]

i thought this was a mod for Anomaly but on Nexus lol

Ready or Not already looks police-footage-y enough imo

[shut veldt]

Didn’t see that the arm repositioning was a mod, mb

[green lake]

ohh ok

[green lake]

tru

[midnight basin]

or wait

so this is footage from Anomaly

they're using a reposition mod and then a shader on top ok

i got confused

would this reposition work for the weapons in GAMMA i wonder

[shut veldt]

The reposition mod seems to come with a full mod pack so not sure, maybe you’d have to disable all the other mods that come with it,

[slow star]

It's not only a reposition ~ I believe the camera has a different attachment OR the weapon inertia is different, as you can see, when he moves the mouse, the weapon shifts to the sides drastically more than by default .
Also, look at the flashlight , it's not the default one we are all accustome to - i think this is from desolation, where the weapon mounted flashlights actually work

[green lake]

yes

[midnight basin]

Current features:

• Fully implemented magazine system.
  okay yeah this is more than just a reposition mod

[green lake]

yes

only making it a camera mod

wouldnt work so well

and would be wonky

[slow star]

So when you combine all of this with a good bodycam reshade, then it should look pretty good

[midnight basin]

i wonder if there's a way to attach the repositioned camera from the demo to your actual person

[shut veldt]

Yeah, didn’t see the crazy weapon sway at first. Although it could just be an effect of the camera position?

[midnight basin]

no i think Norfair is right

[shut veldt]

Now that I look at it again it’s definetly more than just the cam positioning that makes the weapon away that much yeah

[slow star]

It's weapon inertia, yeah

[green lake]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit#gid=0

updated Unreal Zone to 1.1

[midnight basin]

yeah that sway is like something you'd see in Insurgency

definitely not native STALKER

flashlight attachments were also removed from the GAMMA BaS weapons since they don't work and here they do

[slow star]

There's actually a mod in gamma called "grizzy guns inertia", you might wanna ask Grizzy more about it (I wont tag him unnecesarily), to see if a similar effect for the weapons is possible

[midnight basin]

definitely more complex and very likely to conflict with everything GAMMA does unfortunately

[midnight basin]

it's already activated but sway is not nearly as insane as in that vid

[shut veldt]

Maybe tomorrow I’ll install it on a fresh gamma for shits and giggles and see what happens

[slow star]

I'm saying that it could be possible to furthr enhance the effect by modifying this file

[midnight basin]

i think that's in charge of your weapon moving up and down as you walk and aim down the sights

[green lake]

you cant

this is for desolation

[midnight basin]

yeah he just wants to try it ig

he knows it won't work

[green lake]

he cant

it wont work lmao

[midnight basin]

that... doesn't mean he can't try it bro

[shut veldt]

Cant I install desolation as a whole I top of gamma?

[midnight basin]

even if it crashes immediately upon launch that's still called trying lol

[green lake]

no

it will brea

everything

[midnight basin]

rhetoric question

[green lake]

just try it on desolation lol

[shut veldt]

Theory will only take you so far

[midnight basin]

most socially aware discord user

[green lake]

its not theory lmao

it will literally not work

[shut veldt]

Only one way to find out

[slow star]

This, desolation is an engine mod for 1.5.1

he's right

[green lake]

desolation is really good though

the PIP scopes dont destroy half of your frames

[slow star]

It is

[green lake]

and the attachment system is insane

just not a lot of support for it

unfortunately

[slow star]

Cant wait to try the wltr pack

[shut veldt]

Ik I was jk, wasn’t actually gonna do anything

[green lake]

what is that?

[slow star]

it's a modpack for desolation

Includes a bunch of mods to make it more like efp

I tried it super briefly but had flashing black screens, gotta research more

[green lake]

ooooh

thats actualyl really cool

maybe i should try it out myself lmao

[slow star]

Yeah it is, has a lot of the popular mods , not just gameplay but also graphics like ES SSS, atmospherics, etc (1.5.1 versions i think)

If im not mistaken there's a bodycam toggle in the deso settings

[midnight basin]

doesn't get much better than this lol

[green lake]

thats so cool omg

[midnight basin]

i tried the presets from the ZEDD video and they don't look nearly as good in-game

[green lake]

ZEDD's body cam reshade isnt good

imo

[midnight basin]

it looks okay in video but in-game it doesn't really resemble bodycam footage

man i sure wish i had those desolation options right about now lol

i like me tacticool gameplay

If you make a bodycam preset, let me know!

And post it in the preset database ofc

[green lake]

ill remake my old one

[slow star]

Sounds good👍

[bleak verge]

Would also be interested to see if ya end up making a one!

[tacit saffron]

can anyone help me out with the AA. im struggling with it since I play gamma (when it had less then 100 mods). have the latest updates of everything and im using norfair core v3. i tried smaa, fxaa, immerse, drme, quint motion vectors. but it still looks like shit, always been. soome ppl suggested to use TFAA, but theres no setting for it in the reshades. im playing in 1080p and i know the games AA doesnt suit the resolution, but still 😦

everything in distance looks so bad and the DOF and what else is installed just makes it worse for me honestly

tried immersive and adaptivesharpen as well, doesnt look good either.

[misty echo]

drme and tfaa seems to be your best bet

eliminating 100% of aisiling and shimmer seems to be a pipe dream when it comes to anomaly

[tacit saffron]

TFAA is not available for me, doesnt matter which ReShade

[misty echo]

do dis

prepare to chop your frames in half

[tacit saffron]

alright ill try. is it recommended to leave on trees, bushes, leaves? how do you play

[misty echo]

[tacit saffron]

ill give it a try haha

[misty echo]

not sure what you mean?

[tacit saffron]

AA especially on trees, leafes and so on looks bad for me. i know it can be turned off, so you have blank bushes and trees for example

[misty echo]

i just play with aydin's summer and use iaa and if i see some shimmering i ignore it

[tacit saffron]

okay. I added the TFAA settings, anything else? still doesnt show up in the reshade settings

[misty echo]

you prob need to reload on reshade menu

[tacit saffron]

k

[misty echo]

make sure to put it under drme if you do use it

[tacit saffron]

ok I tried TFAA, looks better, 80->60fps, but somehow it runs in slowmotion

ill stick to iaa i think

[misty echo]

yeah def costs quite a few frames

[tacit saffron]

the FPS is okay, but when moving around its weird, like slowed down, dont know how to explain. but looks so good with tfaa when you stand still

[misty echo]

thats why i prefer aydins summer now a days cause most of the trees and grass dont shimmer like autumn and spring sometimes

[tacit saffron]

yea i just switched back to summer, but thanks anyways 🙂

[slow star]

you need to use DRME on top of TFAA

[tacit saffron]

Got it, thanks. wow, the difference is huge, it looks like a different game honestly

guys, thank you so much haha

i struggled with the AA for so long its insane

[slow star]

It's almost a daily topic over on these channels, don't know why gamma's default reshade.ini doesn't include the search path for TFAA, so at least it appears on the effects list.

Any preset using it correctly should have the proper arrangement (like my pic above) so it's not a big deal to have it displayed, at the very least. We include it disabled because obviously not everyone can run TFAA+DRME so it's better left as an optional effect.

[tacit saffron]

back then when I asked people just said to upscale to 1440p or try nvidias FXAA from the software, nothing worked, thats why I asked again. yea probably most people cant run it but im glad it runs with 60-65fps in average aslong the AA looks good now

[slow star]

Nah upscaling to 1440p on a 1080p monitor never works, it's bad, don't do it!
I upscale with NIS to 1160p, but I'm on a 1440p monitor so it works well. Around 20% more performance.

TFAA will be your best option, always. Or ~ Holefiller (a different approach for a reshade effect trying to combat shimmering flora)

Holefiller is included by default but you need to add the "NGLight" folder to the effect search path aswell. Try that one, if TFAA+DRME is too taxing.

[tacit saffron]

Ill give it a try

any idea how to fix the brightness on the marked spots? the sun is quite intense

[slow star]

Looks like Specular intensity from MCM>SSS for Flora

[tacit saffron]

want to give it a more cleaner/natural look. im using youre core v3 reshade

k

[slow star]

One of the specular values, don't know which, there's a lot

basically the sun reflects on the bush and makes it shiny

[tacit saffron]

yea its the scattering intensity, found it

[slow star]

Noted

I always forget on each Gamma update which one it is

[rigid pendant]

I forget about the flora settings in sss

[slow star]

@rigid pendant You should try holefiller as cheap AA aswell, since you want your preset to be lightweight

[slow star]

This

[rigid pendant]

I was literally about to try that after seeing it

[slow star]

Let me know if it works, I'd like to include aswell in the future if it's good

I don't use TFAA anymore

After switching to 1160p, the upscaling blurriness gets rid of most of my shimmering, alongside mipbias close to zero

(no winter trees obv)

[rigid pendant]

Best fix for shimmering disable winter trees

[tacit saffron]

do I need to place holefiller aswell somewhere to the top?

[rigid pendant]

why do the default paths not show up

as pathing to C: like nglight

[slow star]

yeah

[slow star]

wdym?

Oh

[rigid pendant]

Uh oh I bricked something

[slow star]

Because .\ means root (same folder as the .ini)

[rigid pendant]

I added the path you see in the screenshot above and now all of my shaders won't compile

What did I do

[slow star]

did you take out the default one?

which is .\reshade-shaders\shaders\

a big chunk of the effects are there so obv they wouldn't compile if you took out the search path for it

[rigid pendant]

I think I did, just path back to reshade-shaders\shaders right

Yep we're good

Idk why I removed that path I think I thought it was one I added and didn't path anything too

[slow star]

Yea

[rigid pendant]

Alright let's try it out !

[slow star]

If you never touched your reshade-shaders folder (apart from adding my colorgrading effect), you can instead replace all the effect search paths for a single one, using recursive formatting
.\reshade-shaders\shaders\**
like that. It will search for every single subfolder

I say the "never touched" because most people fuck with their reshade-shaders folder by overwritting it with versions from a thousand different places and when they use recursive search they have 350 duplicated effects and wonder why it happens

[rigid pendant]

I don't think I've touched my reshade-shaders folder? How do you overwrite it

Is it accidental?

[slow star]

No, it's intentional

For example by manually updating reshade from the reshade website, and saying "yes" when it asks you if you want to install all the optional effects

[rigid pendant]

That's just troll

[slow star]

or by overwritting it from reshade presets that somebody shares

[rigid pendant]

Manually updating anything reshade seems like the worst idea if you're using a modpack

Reshade, anything

[slow star]

Especially because when you have duplicated effects, any preset will activate both effects, so you end up with Double TFAA, double DRME (bye frames), double sharpen, filters, etc

And the game takes like 4 times to compile all the reshade shaders aswell, anytime it triggers a re-compilation, like when changing resolution, starting the game, doing vid_restart, etc

[rigid pendant]

Yeah....

Bad time

But atleast it's not like hidden second effect and you can see that you've messed up

Or is it hidden ? Like will it show 2 tfaas you can check or is the second one not there

[slow star]

It will show both, yeah, you can disable one of them but it tanks the performance anyways since most effects get stored in the effect cache

[rigid pendant]

Holefiller + FXAA Is looking pretty good here ngl

https://i.gyazo.com/7f4b2bd6547734210bcea92d86253beb.mp4

Feel like tree shimmer is at a minimal

and its looking pretty good for budget AA

hard to see with the gif but yeah

No AA

Holefiller + FXAA

[midnight basin]

Holefiller

[slow star]

Seems like it's working well, then

[rigid pendant]

Yeah feels like it's working well, basically 0 hit to frames as well

[slow star]

Nice

We should add it to our presets and the database guide when possible

[rigid pendant]

Yep for sure

Yeah it deals with light poking through the treeholes super well actually

https://i.gyazo.com/8a8671d552fb549c26a346bcd0231f10.mp4 OFF

https://i.gyazo.com/ec05e20ec992aa2cf68145a6736f86c6.mp4 ON + FXAA

thats pretty impressive considering its low budget

I shoulda just did the comparison with just those effects disabled and re enabled but its still really obvious that its doing a lot

[slow star]

Yeah less sparklies

No AA stalker looks like a flicker show

[rigid pendant]

It's brutal
