[sly phoenix]

Norfair? You made the reshade preset?

[visual axle]

He did

[sly phoenix]

Dope. Love that one

[sly phoenix]

Badass name btw

[past shuttle]

Modified Hunter Reshade?

[sly phoenix]

Is that ADEGA textures?

[autumn yacht]

Gwadamn! nicely done.

[halcyon rain]

yup i made my own one

[halcyon rain]

nope, im using ZR

[past shuttle]

Nice!

[autumn yacht]

So guys, if i have 40 around fps with no reshade and 30 around fps with the default reshade (in cordon both), should i just remove the reshade or is there a reshade i could find with smaller performance loss.

[stray hatch]

Personally I would probably remove reshade at that point and try to get some more fps, but there's def some lightweight reshades that shouldn't really affect your fps much

[toxic mural]

@sour chasm here check this may help you

I can recommend check small area with rtgi
Not far
Like check rain puddles or near fire
And more

But just near

You can use another method for this use gfgi effect or RGI and mxao

[autumn yacht]

Yeah i have started doing that after i got jumped by like 12 people and 28 fps was not helping me, but then my dumbass come here and think this time it might be different.

[stray hatch]

There's also this if you haven't looked through it #╰⚡fps-optimisation

[toxic mural]

I use gfgi with rtgi
Gfgi add sharp AO and rtgi add soft AO
But it's not same about lights

Gfgi add soft light and rtgi Sharp lights

Specially near area

[sour chasm]

is infinite bounces just an on/off (1/0)?

[toxic mural]

Yes

Same about sky color

[sour chasm]

cool I'll play around with them

[toxic mural]

I found the shot here the difference between rtgi of and on
#1192574018398715904 message

[past shuttle]

Ok, finally i can see a real change ingame. but holy moly does it kill my fps! on the average i get 35fps less... 😄

Thats too much for me. I am a sucker for staying above 80fps! Maybe i will use it for Screenshots but gameplay wise... wow, i dont think so.

[toxic mural]

Yea sadly

It's very nice for shot or vid recording around 50-60

It's looks good also with rgi or without

Cause gfgi

[sour chasm]

I'm under 60fps already without RTGI so it's less of a hit for me but yeah it definitely tanks frames regardless. I really can't wait to upgrade to a newer card so I can really push things and not be totally punished for it.

[sour chasm]

okay I tried to set up the scene the same way and made some changes

ah fuck shitty weapon DOF blur

there we go much better

we're fuckin cookin today boys

[simple sentinel]

Can someone share a good preset for the PhroZac Badland reshade thx

[stray hatch]

Ye tbh I prefer MXAO or GloomAO to RTGI just to save frames, it's not quite as advanced though.

[sour chasm]

MXAO and GloomAO were serving me pretty well until I started playing with RTGI. I like trying to match what I'm doing in all of them just to see their differences. You can definitely get good results with either it just depends on what you're trying to achieve and how many frames you want to lose doing it lol

[candid mantle]

anyone know how i can make indoor brighter without affecting sky outdoor?

[swift robin]

Is there any way, to make trees in the distance to not look so weird? They just seems like a huge mess. Asking for a friend

Talking about those

[whole knot]

is there any fix for adaptivetonemapper making nighttime really bright?

I'm using @stray hatch 's Hip's surreal zone 1.4 Frost Edit @wispy rapids

[simple sentinel]

Can i combine ZONE REALITY 0.4 and ADEGA textures ?

[hollow wigeon]

i accidentally removed everything from the modpack_patches folder, would updating get them back?

[thorny vortex]

no, they are both texture packs. you gotta pick one

[bright sparrow]

I have a same problem I think. It's like some kind of sharpening

[cinder idol]

Hey guys how do we re enable the shaders menu in game?

[bright sparrow]

did you deleted them?

[cinder idol]

No? I tried pressing the home key in game and there isn’t any menu and I’ve read it’s been deactivated in the latest update?

[bright sparrow]

type !k98 in bot commands

[cinder idol]

Cheers mate I have

[bright sparrow]

no problem, I had same issue

[scarlet idol]

did what it said, couldn't find holefiller

[cinder idol]

Didn’t work for me :/

[bright sparrow]

hmmm I followed steps and I can use reshade.

[cinder idol]

Do you just hit the home key and it pops up?

[bright sparrow]

Yes but make sure you put files from groks modpack installer to your anomaly folder location

[cinder idol]

I definitely did that

[bright sparrow]

I don't know what else it could be. But for next time you update disable delete reshade i think it installs reshade if its disabled

[cinder idol]

Cheers!

[stray hatch]

Could you post a screenshot? Nights should be darker I think, rather than brighter. I don't use frost edit as often but I don't think I've noticed bright nights

[gusty raven]

[waxen roost]

guys i need help with my reshade

i click the home button and the reshade menu doesn't pop up, i haven't done anything else with my install

[stray hatch]

!reshade

[void depot]

@waxen roost
Do you want to enable/disable reshade?
To re-enable reshade type !k98 in #🤖bot-commands.
To fully disable it after having it enabled by the launcher or !k98, go to your \Anomaly\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll. Alternatively, to temporarily disable it, tap the PAGE UP/PgUp button on your keyboard.

[waxen roost]

thanks man

[whole knot]

I'll post one when I get to my PC again. Night and dark underground environments get really bright with the adaptivetonemapper

[tacit rivet]

Shader compilation failed, check your log file for additional information.

how to remove ripples on trees
They twinkle in my eyes

Help pls

[toxic mural]

What's your AA and MSAA settings in game ?
Do you also use reshade AA ?

[agile dune]

Smoothing 8X smaa very high

It's the same with and without a reshade

[toxic mural]

What's your resolution?

[agile dune]

full hd

[toxic mural]

I can recommend a little thing may help your problem
Set AA to 2x and MSAA to medium or off
Then use FXAA from reshade

[agile dune]

I'll try it now

[scarlet idol]

where do i find holefiller?

did what the spreadsheet faq said, no dice

[agile dune]

It didn't help

[agile dune]

I played redux anomaly, there was no such problem

I know one team that can help, but it lowers FPS very much.

[agile dune]

but it will not be possible to turn it off later

[orchid pebble]

HoleFiller.fx is included with gamma. Use the search bar in reshade ui.

[scarlet idol]

im not seeing it

[orchid pebble]

Go to this directory: \GAMMA\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin
Copy the reshade-shaders folder
Paste it in \Anomaly\bin and search again

[scarlet idol]

k

its not in there

there's only 1 thing that starts with H and thats hex lens flares

[orchid pebble]

HoleFiller + quintMotionVectors + TFAA fixes 90% of shimmering for me, without the game's built-in AA options.

[orchid pebble]

Is the game running? If so, you need to hit the Reload button in the reshade ui, at the bottom

[scarlet idol]

did that

i checked the folder you said to copy and paste and it isnt in there either

[orchid pebble]

oh then something's wrong with your installation if you're missing that file.

[agile dune]

what the - HoleFiller + quintMotionVectors + TFAA

[scarlet idol]

motherfu-

can i nab that file from someone else?

[orchid pebble]

here. but if you're missing files other than reshade shaders, it might come up as crashes, keep that in mind

[orchid pebble]

Those are reshade shaders that you can enable to reduce the tree twinkling you mentioned. I use those three to fix that problem

[agile dune]

where to install this file

[orchid pebble]

Wizfizz21 was missing that file, are you missing it too? It should be included in gamma. It's located in \Anomaly\bin\reshade-shaders\Shaders\NGLight

Oh AND...

make sure you those directories setup. otherwise reshade won't see the shaders located in those folders.

[agile dune]

where can I find TFAA

I don't have the TFAA parameter, where can I download it

[orchid pebble]

it's also included. did you check the screenshot i just sent?

[scarlet idol]

works now

thx :)

[agile dune]

I didn't understand what to do with it.

[agile dune]

will add all this

I'm sorry for my English

[orchid pebble]

Then go to the Home tab, hit the Reload button at the bottom, and search and enable the shaders.
Place quint_MotionVectors above the TFAA.

[agile dune]

I need to add all this

XDDDD

I fixed

Why are they burning red, I added the QUINT section

[orchid pebble]

no idea, are those files actually there?

Anyway, enough troubleshooting here, please ask in the support channels for further assistance.

[agile dune]

I didn't understand one thing.

How to enable TFAA

[orchid pebble]

Go ask here: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/922555488665743391

[agile dune]

No one wanted to help me there.

dead chat

[orchid pebble]

There are people who are designated to help the players. They're probably offline.

[visual axle]

Anyone can upload his default reshade folder from this please?
I deleted it by mistake

[visual axle]

Thanks man !

[marble lily]

It's possible update the reshade to 6.0.0, or it would cause conflict with the shaders?

[wispy rapids]

Mainly causes ctds when saving settings

For any change regarding graphics

But only does it for me on any graphical change via the stalker settings

[outer latch]

Hunter 2 looking good

[candid jungle]

How does the guy have such a beautiful lightning in the first reshade of the video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y721l-7iDqY

[stray hatch]

Clear weather, noon, makes things look very pretty lmao

[sour chasm]

yeah time of day and weather type play a big part

[candid jungle]

Yeah, I know, but even when I'm having a clear weather it just looks different

[sour chasm]

do you have the reshade on that he's using?

[candid jungle]

Yup, the exact one

[stray hatch]

Probably a difference with in-game settings then I would imagine

Also it looks like that video is using Zone Reality, that would just affect textures though, not lighting

[sour chasm]

check the Kyrax reshade settings and see if everything is enabled that should be

otherwise you may also have to adjust your basic light settings

speaking of which I finally updated Atmos and Adega today and now I have to change a bunch of things in Reshade again

[candid jungle]

Yeah, that's what i thought

[candid jungle]

I've checked it already and seems like everything was turned on by default

That's how it looks right now

I feel like my lighting looks weird

[toxic mural]

Delete your shader cache inside anomaly appdata folder

Install the reshade again

Use latest version of gamma or if you are use latest version of atmospherics

Also what's your DX version?

And user ltx can also change the game look

Use this user ltx

#1192574018398715904 message

[candid jungle]

Thanks, I'll delete the shader cache and use that user ltx. I'm using dx11

[sour chasm]

btw your user LTX has all the visual settings cranked

like in game AA and SMAA and grass shadows on

my game pretty much tried to put a gun in its mouth when I loaded it the other day lol

[candid jungle]

Lets see what happens

[whole knot]

@stray hatch before and after with AdaptiveTonemapper.fx in hip's surreal zone 1.4 Frost edit

[stray hatch]

Hot damn lmao, yeah I never noticed it being that extreme. I don't use adaptive tonemapper in my normal preset. I can see ab messing around with that edit and tuning the tonemapper down a bit, or you can if you want I think it would be fairly easy to do. Or you can just have it off. Here's my regular preset if you wanna mess with that too, though it's a lot more vibrant than Frost's edit and I think it works better in autumn settings.

[whole knot]

Yea I got every version of your reshade haha, I'm just diggin this one. I'm gonna stick to just turning it off at night, since it looks so good during the day! Maybe finding a middleground is possible, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for taking a look

[stray hatch]

yeah for sure I'll have a look at his edit next time I'm using unreal zone and see about finding a middle ground with it

[whole knot]

Also, I'm using this without unreal zone and it still looks amazing

[stray hatch]

Oh yeah? I'll give it a try with ADEGA then

I like my regular preset with autumn colors because it really emphasizes the red and oranges

[whole knot]

Sweet, I will check that out as well

[cobalt parrot]

also keep in mind this video was recorded like three updates ago

new atmos and SSS updates will make the lighting look different if you're on a current version

[candid jungle]

i deleted my shader cache and played with some settings it looks better now, thanks yall

[candid jungle]

keep up the good work man ur videos look cinematic af

[fallow veldt]

Is there a guide somewhere for using reshade?

[swift robin]

hey do you know a reshade that uses the TFAA effect or how I can get the effect into my reshade

installing gamma with its reshade doesn't bring TFAA with it

[orchid pebble]

@swift robin see the pic. add the line with the TFAA directory into the settings tab, and reload reshade.

@void depot
what's with the bot?

[swift robin]

TFAA is not in my NGlight, but I found a TFAA folder and copied it over into the reshade folder, over wrote and now TFAA pops up

ah no I see the seperate TFAA folder directory in the picture now

well I did the over write method and turned on TFAA and it blacked my screen so ill just do that

[ashen plaza]

Does anyone know why my my trees and arms and some actors have a slight glow on them?.

[gusty raven]

[onyx stream]

hello, i've tried looking at all guides and faqs, but didnt find a fix for HOME button not showing a shader menu, any advices please?

[candid jungle]

I've dropped reshade files inside Anomaly folder and it fixed that issue for me

[onyx stream]

thank you, i've writeen u dm, so we dont spam the taxt channel 🙂

[next cape]

hey guys, which effects can i tweak to make it less dark inside, and make fire/gaz lighting looks a little less orange ? sorry if this gets asked a lot. Also if theres a mod or something to make more natural light shine inside buildings pls let me know. thanks :)

im using zone reality 0.4 / unreal zone 4 frost edit with the Arrival mod

[stray hatch]

I've not used Frost's edit of Unreal Zone, but as far as the dark interiors go I would mess around with the exposure settings in AdaptiveTonemapper and qUINT_Regrade. Your best bet for less orange lighting is to go into the regrade settings and find orange/red saturation levels and turn those down.

Here's this too. My preset that includes some edits from both Frost and CS Eden. Focuses very much on making the zone more vibrant and colorful so if that's not your thing I dunno if you'd like it.

[next cape]

thanks a lot im gonna try these

[stray hatch]

Cool cool, lemme know if you need any help, I'm sure me or someone else here can figure something out lol

[next cape]

oh hey i already had your preset!

[candid mantle]

Any way I can save this for when I'm on my comp, been trying to figure out how to fix interior darkness

[next cape]

im gonna keep it on for now, it does look a bit more sunny indoors

[stray hatch]

Oh yeah, I think it might be included in Unreal Zone 0.4 now that I think ab it

[stray hatch]

Hmm, ig to save it you could just copy to clipboard on your phone? Not sure if there's a way to transfer that to your pc

[candid mantle]

Ah np thanks

[earnest holly]

Hi. I'm trying to setup a TFAA with quintMotionVectors but there's this weird warping/distortion effect when I walk forward with quintMotionVectors enabled. I'm using base gamma with inverno winter mod installed. Has anyone dealt with this issue?

[cobalt parrot]

try turning the motionvectors from half resolution to full resolution

it's a setting in reshade when you select motionvectors

[earnest holly]

tried this, it's a little bit less visible but still very noticeable

Here's an example

[cobalt parrot]

try using DRME instead of motionvectors

and same thing with full res

and make sure TFAA is below it

[lost light]

whats the camera animation mod

[earnest holly]

Didn't helped unfortunately, although it's not as intense as with quintMotionVectors

[earnest holly]

You mean camera reanimation settings? Default.

[cobalt parrot]

yeah I think that's just the thing with TFAA, in some areas it's more noticeable than others and you can't completely get rid of the blur

[nova frigate]

there's not much you can do about it, unfortunately. motion estimation is very basic compared to native implementations that can access true motion vectors directly from the engine (which a ReShade effect can never do). it's "the best we got" basically

hmm, looks like the Vort shaders pack recently added a TAA shader (~2 weeks ago.) might be worth giving his implementation a try. i like his work a lot

[nova frigate]

wow, you guys who enjoy TAA should check out the current version of vort's pack. superb implementation of TAA imo, given the limitations of this post process method. very performant, too. does still have that very subtle warp effect, but i would say is less noticeable than the other implementations of motion estimation i've tried so far

[small crypt]

OK with the recent changes with GAMMA I can't open reshade. I have verified the input. Any tips?

[thorny vortex]

!reshade

[void depot]

@small crypt
Do you want to enable/disable reshade?
To re-enable reshade type !k98 in #🤖bot-commands.
To fully disable it after having it enabled by the launcher or !k98, go to your \Anomaly\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll. Alternatively, to temporarily disable it, tap the PAGE UP/PgUp button on your keyboard.

[earnest holly]

whoa, this is the best taa so far, almost no warping.

[earnest holly]

Looks pretty good with new taa shader.

I followed the directions in !k98 but reshdae still does not work for me. Any ideas in how to fix it?

Home and Insert dont open the menu

[stuck silo]

did you delete d3d9 and dxgi . dll files?

[stuck silo]

because if you want to enable reshade, you have to keep those and not delete them

[orchid sun]

What are the best reshdae presets

[past shuttle]

Do you have a link for me?

[orchid pebble]

Shader's name is vort_Motion, here: https://github.com/vortigern11/vort_Shaders/tree/main

I don't see much difference in terms of visual quality between vort's and quint+tfaa, I use vort's because it's much more performant.

[past shuttle]

Thx i found it. I will check it out because tfaa + motionvectors/Drme can be really heavy on fps. More FPS is always nice! 🙂

[past shuttle]

Did you change anything in vort_motion settings besides enabling taa?

[orchid pebble]

I don't remember, these are the settings in my preset, might be default.

[past shuttle]

Thx man!

Did you move the correct files over?

[gaunt pawn]

new fresh install of gamma since a year ago. Is reshade no longer needed? I didn't see it load at first launch.

[thorny vortex]

its disable by default now due to SSS and Atmos using Lut for colorgrading, but it can still be used for AA,AO.Sharpening, Etc

[gaunt pawn]

Ahhh that's right. I remember Hippo mentioning this awhile back. Thanks for the reminder @thorny vortex I guess I can do the manual installation if needed?

[thorny vortex]

!k98

[void depot]

@gaunt pawn
1) Go to this folder: [YOUR GAMMA FOLDER]\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
2) Copy these four folders (check pic)
3) Go to your Anomaly folder
4) Paste these four folders (check pic)
5) Overwrite/replace all if asked
6) Go to your \Anomaly\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll files.
It won't delete your save files.

[waxen roost]

how would i fix my ugly trees, ill send a clip

that was in the great swamps

[past shuttle]

you mean the tree shimmering? -> Antialising via Reshade: fxaa + tfaa + motion vectoring. but it will affect your fps.

[little spoke]

does your reshade shaders have duplicates? like there''s 2 cmaa, 2 quint shaders etc. in mine

[meager dune]

hey is there simple way to make colors like EFP in gamma?

[tacit rivet]

Color correction + reshade

[little spoke]

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

have you tried this reshade? it looks good

[shrewd bronze]

not sure if its supposed to look like that

[little spoke]

it looks really good if you can get it working

[winged oak]

What are some good looking settings?

[slim plume]

Has anyone else tried the blooming hdr included in the gamma installation with luma selected for hdr? If so what are your thoughts

[shrewd bronze]

I dont know anymore ive tried multiple presets and none of them looked just like in those videos on youtube

[toxic mural]

Check this list
#╟🎑reshades message

Another preset I can recommend is this
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1192574018398715904

[cobalt parrot]

unfortunately, you'll never be able to find a preset that looks good at all times/weathers/locations

your best bet is to recreate the conditions you see in these videos and use the same preset to see if you can match those specific visuals

it's a pain in the ass, but that's just how it goes with most reshade presets

[mint owl]

Yes, it can look good but you will need to tweak it, on top of putting it between ReVeil Top and Reveil Bottom for more controle over it

[toxic mural]

@manic sage @mint owl
I'm really Sorry for ping you guys
I want to know if it's possible for you to check this https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1192574018398715904 version of the preset please ?
I want to know if it's need to get any changes for realistic look

[mint owl]

I sure can, any recommended settings beforehand ?

Nevermind

I saw the pinned post

Will get to it

[toxic mural]

Thanks

[mint owl]

On Vanilla GAMMA's visuals right ? Or you have a specific addon on top ?

[toxic mural]

Just vanilla gamma
and it's worked with any texture as I tested

[mint owl]

Got it, I'm going to test now then

Just updating my Atmos beforehand

[high wyvern]

What is the difference between all the shadow maps?

[manic sage]

With your user.ltx or without?

[slim plume]

the shadows become less blocky with a higher setting but it costs a lot of performance

[high wyvern]

ah, thank you @slim plume.

[toxic mural]

With my user ltx
If it's to much dark then I think your user ltx

Sorry again for ping you

[slim plume]

i have mine on 1500 and i barely notice it i would reccomend you put it at max 2000

[mint owl]

I'm testing it without but with the recommended gamma/saturation/brightness

At full quality, and so far I'm not disappointed one bit, still testing

[toxic mural]

[manic sage]

AtmosR

Coar

Looks good, looks like a heavier version of atmosR

darker shadows and more bloom

its nice

[toxic mural]

Thanks

[manic sage]

AtmosR

Coar

Also vignette in Coar

very nice

[mint owl]

To me that's a work of art for sure, excellent job Oscoar

[manic sage]

Agreed

[mint owl]

[toxic mural]

Thanks guys

[manic sage]

Yup!

Aside from that I dont have any plans for atmospherics in the near future. School is taking over plus it gives people a nice stable base to build their presets and reshade without fear of things changing anytime soon.

[manic sage]

plus atmospherics is in a good spot atm

[mint owl]

Took some shots here and there in speed

[mint owl]

I have to say, it definitely is an improvement but I think the suns are a bit of a downgrade, they don't shine in a way that I would think a Sun would, like, it did better imo a few updates ago

Might be just me though

[manic sage]

the suns arent accurate in debug

[mint owl]

Really ?

How come ?

[manic sage]

they are alot brighter in actual gameplay. No idea but I discovered that recently when I did the suns rework

let me show you

Cloudy1 at 18 with debug

Cloudy 1 at 18:06 ingame time

was hard to match

But you can see the difference

[mint owl]

I didn't remember this in the previous updates though, is it caused by your latest tweaks ?

[manic sage]

Nope it was always like that

[mint owl]

My whole life has been a lie

[manic sage]

I didnt discover it until people complained about blinding suns

[mint owl]

[manic sage]

and I realized me working with suns in debug is a lie and caused that issue

So yeah dont judge everything by debug standards

[mint owl]

Does it restore it by pressing "play" though ?

[manic sage]

restore how?

[mint owl]

For exemple, in rain, puddles don't form in debug until you press the "play" button

[manic sage]

Yeah pressing play is key

you can fastforward time with the time_factor console command

[mint owl]

So it doesn't affect the sun as in debug via time factor ?

[manic sage]

so lets say ingame time is at 9 am

but debug is set to 18

you get the first picture I sent

but now lets say you fastforward to 18:06

you press play and debug turns off essentially and loads in the weather at the ingame time of 18:06

does that makes sense?

[mint owl]

It does

I understood it before yeah, but damn that's a shock

[manic sage]

Yeah so any suns/sky textures arent completely accurate in debug

which is why making weather mods is kinda complicated

lots of things to balance

[mint owl]

Oh well, you did it still, so congrats regardless

[manic sage]

Yup and Im happy with the current update

[mint owl]

But yeah, I could never x)

[manic sage]

so you guys can update your presets or whatever without fear of things changing drastically

no updates planned at all atm

[toxic mural]

That's a big info
Thanks man

[mint owl]

Will do, well, in Anomaly at least, I only went back here for Oscoar's sake x)

[manic sage]

lol

[mint owl]

Which makes me want to try his preset there, see how it turns out

[toxic mural]

[manic sage]

Where?

[mint owl]

In my Anomaly installation

[manic sage]

Ah okay

[mint owl]

It's pretty close visually so I'm curious

[manic sage]

Should be good assuming you're also using the updated atmospherics there

[mint owl]

I do, well, I was just missing the latest hotfix

[manic sage]

But yeah with the information about the sun, this means MAKE SURE YOU ALL CALIBRATE YOUR BLOOM SETTINGS NOT TO DEBUG

otherwise you will blind your users who dont use debug

[mint owl]

Got it, that's good to know for sure

[manic sage]

For sure for sure which is why atmosR is so conservative 1. To please everyone and 2. To be visually inoffensive as to appeal to pretty much everyone. 3. Works without debug.

[mint owl]

Oh yeah, I had a question Hippo

[manic sage]

Conservative bloom settings are the way to go.

whats up?

[mint owl]

That makes sense now that I think about it x)

[mint owl]

Do you think I can take parts of your weathers cycle to create an extra one in Atmos ?

[manic sage]

Go ahead

Just make sure it looks good with atmos.ltx

and the settings in there

[mint owl]

I mean, I'm not so sure about how to proceed on that one since it's particular

Do you know the midnight sun phenomenon ?

[manic sage]

If its particular as long as its good I can include it in optionally if thats what you mean

[manic sage]

No I dont actually

[mint owl]

Oh I was planning on making it for myself, since I don't think the quality will match the others x)

[manic sage]

Oh you mean take a part?

I thought you mean take part

my bad lol

yeah go ahead

[mint owl]

In Norway specifically, the sun is still shining at midnight for a period of the year

Looks at that nice copy paste : Since the axial tilt of Earth is considerable (23 degrees, 26 minutes, 21.41196 seconds), at high latitudes the Sun does not set in summer;[4] rather, it remains continuously visible for one day during the summer solstice at the polar circle, for several weeks only 100 km (62 mi) closer to the pole, and for six months at the pole. At extreme latitudes, midnight sun is usually referred to as polar day.

At the poles themselves, the Sun rises and sets only once each year on the equinox. During the six months that the Sun is above the horizon, it spends the days appearing to continuously move in circles around the observer, gradually spiralling higher and reaching its highest circuit of the sky at the summer solstice.

[manic sage]

Interesting concept

and fact

So you plan on making a day that is 24/7 sun?

[mint owl]

Yeah

That would be it

[manic sage]

You will most likely have to tweak stalker behavior

as stalker will turn on their headlamps at night I think as part of a script? not sure

would look odd when its day and everyone has flashlights on

[mint owl]

Hmm, I did bring the idea to Anomaly's server a while ago, except it was the opposite, a polar night

[manic sage]

Ahh gotcha

[manic sage]

Ah okay

[mint owl]

Well, if I can at least get the weather cycle to show properly that would be a start x)

[manic sage]

You can easily do that

making new cycles is easy

[mint owl]

I'll think about it once I'm done with what I'm doing for Dux

[manic sage]

its just tweaking them and refining that is hard

Oh yeah you're fixing Dux to be higher fidelity right?

[mint owl]

Actually no, my original plan was to use Fixed Vanilla Models, make a visual database and then sort the models out to create a more accurate faction identity

I did the database, but I realised I would need to complement it with Dux's models, at least some of them, so basically I'm making the visual database of his 3500+ models, once its done, then it's a long sorting job but that I hope will be worth it

Then I'll send him the full database and my files if I succeed

[manic sage]

Oh I didnt know dux is still active

[mint owl]

But even at averaging 500 models a day in the database, I will take at least a week to finish it

[mint owl]

He isn't really, quite rusted according to his own words

But I want to do that for him should he decide to take a new direction with his models, so that he knows what each model looks like

[manic sage]

Sounds solid to me

[mint owl]

All in all, that faction identity is something I want to do for my Anomaly first and foremost, did an item removal but I also want to eliminate the confusion that I personally have with all these different models

Old World Addon did it, but much simpler since it's using only the OG trilogy's models, I want to keep the Anomaly ones for the most part but still achieve the same goals

[gusty kettle]

how to fix it?

i have such rectangles all over the places

[manic sage]

decal folder in zone reality it looks like just judging by the ground texture

[gusty kettle]

oh yes! that’s what i installed

[gusty kettle]

is unreal zone better that zone reality?

[slim plume]

how do i share a reshade preset?

[cobalt parrot]

you can't really compare them because they're two entirely different types of mods

unreal zone is a reshade preset and ZR is a pack of textures

[cobalt parrot]

share the .ini file, it can be found in whatever folder you keep all your other presets in

if you use any non-standard shaders that others may not have, I recommend sharing your reshade-shaders folder as well

[slim plume]

i haven't installed any other presets so don't know where the folder is, i've tried searching for it but didn't find anything would it be just somewhere on the pc or in one of the game folders?

[cobalt parrot]

open reshade and check what the folder is

you can go to Settings and see where it's pulling your presets from

[slim plume]

Had to click that button, pretty hard to find but got it now. Thank you

@broken vigil Here is my reshade preset.

you will need to add the TFAA path to your reshade like this

these are my sun settings which are a big part of the look for preset

And these are my basic light settings

[cosmic kraken]

@slow star hey dude, love you're reshade. just wondering, was there a technical reason why you use debanding? or is it purely a style choice?

[toxic mural]

This effect helps you bring colors that are too far apart and do not match with each other back to normal.
Like looking at sun or moon
You can notice strange circles

[winter summit]

does he have fgfx? it causes banding for me

this thing called banding xd

it can be reduced by using dithering or debanding

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MslGR8#

[cosmic kraken]

i notice it more in darker areas. it kind of washes out textures in the shadows. almost adds a hazy/ethereal quality to the image. doesn't look bad, just different

[winter summit]

speaking of debanding, it's just gaussian blur for pixels with small threshold between them, maybe at night it can be used for stylized output, like you don't know what darkness hides in it

sorry for english

[cosmic kraken]

yeah i find it's most noticeable at night

[winter summit]

because at night their color values are closer to each other

but if his shader uses FGFXLargeScalePerceptualObscuranceIrradiance.fx I pretty much sure debanding was used to hide artifacts it creates

[slow star]

I dont use fgfx for that reason, yep

[slow star]

Me and hippo used debanding on corev2 beta as a fallback in case the lut had any issues.
SSS and Atmos got a lot of big updates during that time so i left it in case any new update made my lut incompatible with new black levels

For v4 im using a diffrrent approach so i got rid of debanding

[sour chasm]

Been making some more changes

Before

After

first shot is with RTGI doing most of the AO (value of 3) with Glam touching up the deeper spots and the second is with some tweaked ReGrade settings and GloomAO + Glam handling most of the AO with the RTGI AO backed off by about 60% (value of 1)

Still a WIP but I like the color I'm getting now

[cinder idol]

Having issues with the fakehdr making things majorly dark, is there anything that can help lift that without just doing a brightness setting and washing it out?

[sour chasm]

I mean that's kinda what fakehdr does, it accentuates the contrast and makes darks darker and brights brighter. You have to play with the settings in it to get a more subtle effect

[cosmic kraken]

yeah, hdr can be a bit heavy (visually). if you're curious, i use hdr on my fast pop reshade. feel free to check it out, maybe it'll help (or make things worse 🤷‍♂️ ). https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1197820825794007080

[cinder idol]

I’ll give these a go

[cosmic kraken]

give them a go, play with the settings. don't forget to change weathers/times to see what happens

[cinder idol]

Sent you a message with my current reshade setup

[neon totem]

Having some issues with reshade, it appears to not want to apply any reshade effects, but does tank my performance

I assume DX8 has some sort of connection to that? Just asking to be sure

Although I vividly remember reshade working with DX8 before 0.9, specifically 0.7

[tacit rivet]

I guess reshade doesn't support dx8

[icy swift]

Which reshade is best to use on powerful PCs?

[slim plume]

It's all subjective, you would have to look at some and choose the best one or put together your own which would be the option that gets you the best result if you know what you're doing

[icy swift]

How to install reshade from САPA?

[slim plume]

need his .ini file and just drop it in with your other presets. If the preset uses any shaders you don't have you also have to set those up

[icy swift]

Can you send me a guide on how to install this reshade?

[toxic mural]

Check this list #╟🎑reshades message
You can find good shaders
Download the file and drop ini file to your anomaly bin folder

[manic sage]

This is correct and as of the latest atmos update deband is not nearly as needed as I made sure to play around with the sky texture/color to not need it as much. Thats why atmosR has debanding deactivated by default.

[slim plume]

which way do the effects get applied? top to bottom or the other way around?

[icy swift]

This is how it turned out, is it normal?

[toxic mural]

What reshade?

[icy swift]

Reshade from CAPA

[toxic mural]

Do you also downloaded requirements he said?

Like there's 2 effects needed

[icy swift]

Yes, I did everything as it was written

[neon totem]

You sure? I swear it worked

Unless it was changed during the update to 0.9, it should still be

[wide jetty]

guys is there a standard LUT in the game?

because there is a lut you can deactivate with the console

are you taking this into account when making the preset or are you advising people to deactivate the game LUT?

and another question what are the default basic light settings?

[toxic mural]

Yes it's from atmospherics mod
And when people making lut they use another lut in game one
But you can change in game lut to

[wide jetty]

because I want to make my own reshade preset and I want to make it as simple as possible so if people already have this lut active in the gamma mod without reshade then I might build upon that standard LUT then even though it fucks up a lot of the tonemapping stuff

[toxic mural]

You can recommend to set the lut settings like what you have

[wide jetty]

Problem is that everytime you reload its back to the original state. Is there an option to change the games lut to 0 permanently ?

[toxic mural]

Don't know really but I just use it without any problem

Like I made 90 luts and they are fine

[flint vigil]

I got a question if someone could answer it?

Was wondering how reshade works I never tampered with it but I want to change my game could someone explain it?

@tulip nymph

Sorry for the ping idk if I’m allowed to do that or not

[tulip nymph]

@flint vigil Basically what reshade does is try it hooks onto the game, checks the game rendering, tries to find or generate itself stuff like the depth texture or the color buffer. Using those you enable effects, shaders really ontop of one another to get the desired look

[flint vigil]

And where would I find the shaders are they in the game or are they an installation

[tulip nymph]

Gamma comes with a whole bunch as part of both the anomaly package it comes with and the Atmospherics mod. You can find the shaders in your Anomaly\bin\reshade-shaders

[flint vigil]

And I have to physically change them from there?

[tulip nymph]

No. You enable them and change them in the reshade home menu

Like so

[flint vigil]

Hmmm alright I’ll look into it when I get home from work thank you seriously you are so far the only person that has actually helped me

With any of my questions really I’ll probably ask you a couple more thanks again

[sour chasm]

Yes top applies first, everything else is applying "over" the previous effect.

[fallen skiff]

Do I need to configure anything in the Gamma reshade settings? Or just select a profile? Everything works in EFP Atmospheric. But in Gamma I can’t figure it out.Installed Adega1.45 on Gamma. Didn't notice any difference

[tardy snow]

Guys what is the best sharpening effect to use? (like best sharpening at cost of performance)

[broken vigil]

<3

[flint vigil]

@tulip nymph do you reccomend any presets

[flint vigil]

yo cheddar

[sour chasm]

whats up

[flint vigil]

how would i make my game look like your

because yours is stunning

[flint vigil]

^

[sour chasm]

oh you want the before preset

[flint vigil]

the after i pinged the wrong one

[sour chasm]

oh okay

try this

still a work in progress

[flint vigil]

so how does this work do i copy it

then put it into reshade?

[sour chasm]

you download it and place it in anomaly/bin

[flint vigil]

ok

[sour chasm]

I would suggest looking at the spreadsheet in the pinned messages and doing the steps it says to unlock the hidden effects in the Q&A section

you need RTGI too

[flint vigil]

how do i get those lol sorry first time doing this

[tulip nymph]

There's plenty in #1035807043933720576 like norfair, Core, hippo's with Atmos, hip's reshade, etc

[thorny vortex]

My Lut reshade with less effects and optional RTGI. dont wanna make a reshade mod post so if you see it and wanna try it here you go
Screenshot of tunnel in cordon for visuals

• drop bin folder inside zip straight into anomly folder

[slim plume]

i found what was causing the dark corners of the screen, it was eye simulation in bloomingHDR turn that off and it will be fixed

[wide jetty]

when you guys make your reshades are you tweaking it with ssf_luts 0,0,0,0 ?

or do you leave the original LUT as is and just put the reshade on top?

[swift robin]

This is really general, but I need help lol. I "installed" reshade against gamma .9.1 by dragging the reshade files from a .9 installation. No problem.

However: The screenshot folder is listed as .\

Where is this so I can clean out the stuff that could be in there?

I may be an idiot, but my best guess is that .\ is nothing/nowhere and nothing was saved.

Confirmed idiot: Was saving in the GAMMA\Overwrite\bin file.

[swift robin]

I recently purchased a gpu that can run reshade atop gamma, and this works great. At medium/high settings I still get 75+fps in busy places. It seems like the air is more "clear" in this than some of the other reshades I have tried.

[narrow dirge]

What sort of shader params do you guys use with your Reshades? I struggle to find a good balance between too dark all the time and too bright in dark areas.

[simple sentinel]

how can i get good reshade preset ?
seems to be a dumb question but fr ? (im using phrozac badland)

[steady spoke]

lol

[slim plume]

download one you like?

[slim plume]

that really depends on what effects you use and what style you're going for and what environment you are optimizing for i would suggest just playing with all the options seeing what they do and adjusting accordingly. It is pretty hard to get a bright vibrant day and a good night tho

[narrow dirge]

True that. I've mostly been using the .ltx that comes with Atmospherics and adjusting the Gamma and Saturation to my liking.
But the balance is hard. It almost feels like there is no best of both worlds, and Im this close to making my own presets for night and day 😅

[slim plume]

i optimized my setup mainly for daytime since i don't play much during the night anyway

[narrow dirge]

Yea I switch a lot due to poor timing on my end when it comes to immersive sleep.
I keep adjusting for night because, sometimes everything just works and looks georgeous (Reshade preset is just the AtmosR+)

But then daytime looks weird and washed out

[slim plume]

sheesh that first pic, looks so much better than my night

[sour chasm]

So those ssfx_lut settings change from zone to zone. One area will be 1,4,0,0 the next will be like 1,9,0,0, and another might be 1,32,0,0 or something like that. This is by design since it lets Hippo assign a different lut to each area to give it a unique "feel". Personally I like to find a location where I'm familiar with its lut/lighting/"feel" and tweak the reshade with the zone's default lut, then once I'm happy with the settings I change the lut around to see what different ones look like in that same zone. Even though by default those different luts won't be active in that zone unless you manually change them, it makes it easier to see how the reshade looks with all the luts without having to load to another zone.

You could certainly optimize a reshade to work with one single ssfx_lut setting and use only that for every zone in the game you would just have to reload the lut every time you loaded a new zone. I'm too lazy for that and it also kinda dilutes the work of other modders so I'd rather just let the default lut load in and make minor tweaks in reshade until I find something that compliments them all.

If there was a way to script the reshade to adjust its settings for each default lut, weather, and day/night cycle things would get really interesting but I don't think there's a way to do that?

[wide jetty]

yeh I see what you mean. I am also in favor of just putting the reshade on top for simplicity but would be actually cool to have the possibility of a neutral lut so we could make an overall coherent reshade for every zone. normally the weather system should actually create the feel of an area not really a lut setting.

[sour chasm]

well the weather system has to stay generic enough that it can apply to every zone, otherwise Hippo would have to create individual weathers for every single zone and not only would that be huge bloat for the game but he would probably want to unalive himself with that much work.

probably why he would rather us spend our time making luts instead of drooling like simpletons over ray tracing, bloom, and AA in reshade

[dense plume]

I dont know how to enter the reshade menu anymore, home key doesnt work

can anyone help me?

[slim plume]

Reshade got removed with the christmas update. You have to untick the delete reshade dlls option when updating to keep it.

If you deleted it accidentally and want it back do the .!k98 command in bot commands

[dense plume]

thanks sir

[fallen skiff]

Do you need to configure anything else in Reshade? Or is it enough to select a profile?

[thorny vortex]

just select a profile

[narrow dirge]

FYI for anyone who has a similar issue as me, who used the Atmos shader param preset and its Reshade preset, where everything just kinda gets too dark:
I find that activating the eye adaptation works great in boosting days, and keeping nights dark. Needs some fiddling with the settings according to your screen brithtness but it did wonders for me. (wish I could showcase it better but I keep having cloudy weather. I swear sunny weather is really warm and bright...

[flat yacht]

Guys, how can I download reshades? In what direction should we place them?

[manic sage]

What do you mean?

[whole knot]

is there a way to undo cfg_load atmos command?

[manic sage]

Why?

[whole knot]

I was using a reshade and got it looking great. Applied atmos and it looks bad now

nvm i restarted the game and its back to normal

[manic sage]

Ok

[stray kite]

Ello, got a little problem with my Reshade here, Every time there is a lightning in the Game it just gets brighter and brighter till it looks like a cs flashbang. Any idea where thats coming from?

[toxic mural]

Do you change weather with debug? If so that's why
There's a button inside weather debugging called play like this ▶️

[stray kite]

yes i did. did try it, works now, though i wonder, why isn't it working without the play button?

thanks btw ❤️

[candid mantle]

finally night sky how i want it. thanks @toxic mural

[toxic mural]

[winged oak]

anyone knows how to get rid of pixelated images in the distance

[slim plume]

screenshot?

[slim plume]

and what is the problem? That screenshot looks fine

[winged oak]

The trees in the distance look kinda pixelated and when i move it looks awful

[slim plume]

Ok, turn on DRME and TFAA in the reshade menu and that should be fixed. Another way is to turn down the texture MIP bias which makes the textures that are further away lower quality and prevents some of the flickering by just having less small holes in the trees i would reccomend using DRME+TFAA though because it just looks way better

[slim plume]

You have to add the path to the effect in the settings

DRME should go above TFAA

[winged oak]

I added it but there's still nothing

[slim plume]

added it in the wrong place. You added it to texture search paths, it has to go in effects search paths

[winged oak]

Ty man

[slim plume]

happy to help

[cunning monolith]

eyo, do in need to install something to use the reshade menu? if i dont, is there a workaround for the "home" button? I already changed the overlay to different binds but none opened the menu. appreciate any help

[slim plume]

Reshade got removed with a recent update so unless you unticked the box "delete reshade dlls" while updating it's gone. Do .!reshade in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 for a guide on how to get it back

[cunning monolith]

alright, thanks!

is there a command that i have to put in to enable it ingame? ive done the k98 fix earlier for a diffrent issue, still does not work

[slim plume]

you have to skip step 6 to get reshade back

it used to say in the guide but now there is a new command for it apparently

[winged oak]

How to make my game good looking?

[slim plume]

Play around with the settings and reshade or just take someone elses reshade and settings

you can look in the screenshots channel and ask people for their reshade and settings if you want a finished setup

[winged oak]

Can you send me a SS of ur game maybe i'll probably like it

[slim plume]

this is from my game #╟📸screenshots message

[winged oak]

Looks awesome can i have ur reshade? preset

[slim plume]

yeah, i'll send it. do you know how to intall it?

[past fractal]

What's the button for the Reshade settings? Or how do I enable the key? Seems when ever I press Home it doesn't want to open it.

[winged oak]

Not really

[slim plume]

#╟🎑reshades message

@past fractal

[slim plume]

i'll tell you then, just gotta find the file again

[winged oak]

You copy and paste the file in bin right?

[slim plume]

yeah and since you have TFAA now it should work straight away

here it is:

[winged oak]

Thanks I'll test it tomorrow

[slim plume]

to get it to look exactly like mine you will have to adjust your basic light and sun settings i'll send those too

[past fractal]

Take it it's recommended to start a new game when you enable the reshade menu?

Noticed I crashed as soon as I tried to go into my old game.

Oh, nevermind.

[slim plume]

no, it should work with existing games too i think

[past fractal]

Guess I accidently tabbed out.

[safe bolt]

how do I add new reshade presets to gamma after I download them?

I think I found it, nvm

[slim plume]

Put the .ini file in anomaly/bin

[safe bolt]

yep, just found it, was just having troubles finding exactly where it was in the folders. thanks tho

[high wyvern]

What are some settings I could tweak in general/re-shade options to make my game look less pixelated?

[slim plume]

Add DRME and TFAA i instructed a guy just a few hours ago on how to, scroll up a little and you should see it

[vale basin]

how open this menu?

[tacit rivet]

"Home" -> Settings

[winged oak]

It doesn't look anything like urs i put everything as you said

[slim plume]

the game looks very different depending on weather map and time of day

[winged oak]

I don't think the preset works

[slim plume]

this is great swamps at 17 for example

[winged oak]

Urs looks much better can you guide me how to install it correctly?

[slim plume]

it should be to just put the .ini file in the directory for the other presets and select it in the reshade menu

[winged oak]

Let me try with another preset if it makes any difference maybe i'm just blind

[slim plume]

here you have to select the one with the name you gave the .ini file

did you change the normal settings like i said?

[winged oak]

Yes

[slim plume]

overall i thought foggy weather looked very bad with my preset so i just turned it off. Looks like you could have some fog in your screenshot

yeah looks like everything that is supposed to be on is on, can you check the settings?

[slim plume]

i meant the reshade settings

[slim plume]

these ones, the reshade effect settings

[slim plume]

looks ike you have some extra effects applied i don't use in my preset for example fake hdr because that is done by blooming hdr already

this minus debanding is all thats supposed to be enabled

[winged oak]

Where do i disable them?

[slim plume]

press active to top here and everything that is enabled should come to the top, i gtg now hope it works with this

[modest spire]

Hey Guys i cant open the reshade menu.. I have try to change to shirt + F2 but didnt work... what can i do?

[small crypt]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and do k!98

then press Home in game and select their reshade from the drop down menu at the top

[real chasm]

Thx

[velvet peak]

Is this due to Reshade or..? Kinda weird that my top tier nvg makes the sides blue

[formal mural]

ive been trying for over an hour and i cannot get the keybind to work for reshade
yes, i have a full keyboard, so i do have the home button. by default, it did not work.
i then checked the pinned messages, and went into reshade.ini > keyoverlay > and changed it to numpad - (109,0,0,0) which to no surprise also did not work
ping with any tips please.

[cobalt parrot]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !reshade

[dark shard]

can someone tell me how to disable gamma shaders?

[slim plume]

update and tick the "delete reshade dlls" option

[dark shard]

could i easily reinstall them if i so chose to?

and do i untick the rest

[slim plume]

doesn't really matter if you untick the rest with them you would check for updates and install them and check file integrity

[slim plume]

yeah, the command is .!reshade to get a guide

[dark shard]

alright

[abstract smelt]

To anyone who encounters homebutton not working - the reshade "!reshade" guide works

[granite relic]

hey i was wondering reshade guide. when im copying the bin folder from gamma back to anomaly's folder, do i click the bin folder then paste it or do i just hit paste in any available space? sorry if its a dummb question

[thorny vortex]

Right click the gamma bin folder and hit copy, then right click inside anomaly folder and paste the new bin. It will ask to overwrite some files just say yes

[granite relic]

okay i wasnt sure if there was a specific way to do it cause i know certain things if done a certain way could mess it up. thanks

[outer escarp]

how do i remove reshade, some of the files i gotta delete are missing, do i just go ingame and disable all effects instead?

[slim plume]

update gamma and tick the "delete reshade dlls" option

[sour chasm]

When making a lut, is it best to turn off all ambient occlusion and global illumination? Like should I only be using Regrade and any other color effects like HDR? And what about the luts already baked in to gamma/atmos through the ssfx_lut command should I disable those too?

Also I'm wondering if the in game luts can be tied to weathers and time of day? I'm really happy with how my Regrade and other shaders look in daytime on like clear_1/2 and partly_1/2 but night time and some of the darker weathers look too dark, and turning everything off gets me visible nights that actually reflect the light of the moon cycles

[vestal granite]

Hi there fresh install my reshade don`t do anything what I do wrong?

How to install reshade from CAPA?

[stuck grotto]

He got a new one?

[swift robin]

anyone know the reshade bloomdark, and if so where do i get it and how do i download it

[slim plume]

to get a preset in your reshade you need to put the .ini file in the folder where all the other ones are (usually anomaly/bin). Idk where to get that one you are looking for

[thorny vortex]

Should be in here. Also presets go into anomaly bin folder.

[azure acorn]

if i had no hud i realized this lowkey looks like it could be a IRL image 💀

[velvet peak]

Has anyone else noticed the preview image links for a few of the different shaders in the Reshade Database show the same image overlooking bloodsucker village and saying "paused" in the center of the pic?

[brazen shale]

I would guess that is intentional to make it easier to compare the different presets to each other

[velvet peak]

Sorry let me try again, it's the exact same picture for them. Literally the same picture, not location with different shaders

[brazen shale]

Which ones are you referring to specifically? I'm pretty sure I just went through them all and they are different

[tulip breach]

Hey guys, just installed the game, im looking for a retexture (like zone reality) a reshade and maybe some better texture for player models, do you guys know anything?

[weak perch]

Hi guys new to the reshade world is there a prset list anywhere

[slim plume]

@weak perch

[stark portal]

Anyone know any Good bodycam reshades ?

[slim plume]

try atmosbody, i have never used it but sounds like it could be what you are looking for from the name

[stark portal]

I Cant seem to find it anywhere

Is it in moddb?

[slim plume]

i saw it on here @stark portal

says that it is included in gamma

[stark portal]

Pictures are all the same

Guess i would have to test it out

[slim plume]

if it's in gamma already it should be easy to test it

[stark portal]

My gamma dont work

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-no-idea-gif-27149353

I need to test it on normal anomaly

[lapis perch]

why did grok remove reshade?

[marble relic]

Update again with delete dlls unticked.

[lapis perch]

thanks a lot

[chilly stirrup]

Is there a good additional setting or preset that behaves well with a oled screen (and potential HDR) ?

[long dune]

I AM NOT ABLE TO INSTALL RESHADE IN MY GAME WHY I AM DOING IT ND IT IS SHOWING SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED BUT WHEN PRESSING HOME BUTTON IT IS NOT WORKING

[cobalt parrot]

have you tried adega? #1043020993687474186 message

[stark nexus]

so after installing adega and select it in mo2

it should replace the default texture
and use the home page to turn on the shader yes?

also i'm a little confused how to get any of the shaders working
i've found a lot of .ini files but it says it need a .ltx to run

for now i can only load the default atmos

[toxic mural]

Install adega and place it above Aydins grass mod for Aydins grass textures and trees
But if you want adega trees disable Aydins

Reinstall Aydins grass by right click and choose any season you like then replace the mod

But this effect only gives textures not shaders

Install any shader you want by putting the requirements to anomaly bin folder

[stark nexus]

so disable the grass tweaks by aydins
and reinstall aydins, put it under adega for the grass?

I've seen the reshade database
and i'm interested in a few "presets"

but the preset is only a ini file
how do i load them using the reshade tool ingame and cfg_load?

[slim plume]

put it in the folder with the other .ini files (anomaly/bin iirc) and after that you should be able to load it in reshade like any other preset

[stark nexus]

I downloaded the kyraxs zone one
and when i type cfg_load kyraxs_zone in console it says it needs a .ltx file
I guess i'm doing something wrong?

I found the atmos.ltx in the hippo mod folder in gamma/mods

so do i just copy and rename this one it would apply the ini's setting?

[slim plume]

to apply the reshade you just have to select it in the reshade menu, i haven't messed with .ltx files yet so i can't help you with that

[stark nexus]

oh wow

okay turns out it just need a few more reloads

the first time i reload using any shader it just snaps back to the default atmos

it's good now, just still a little dark

is it normal like, in rain or storm i can't see over 15m

[slim plume]

i can barely see 10m with my preset so i would say yes

[stark nexus]

ok

[slim plume]

if you go into basic light settings you can change the brightness and gamma i highly recommend you play around with those settings

[stark nexus]

yeah i'll see what i can do with them
creatures lurking in the dark and fog and all

as a newbie who forgor flashlights as soon as it rains i'm NOT going in the dark xD

Thank you for your help kind sirs

I can now go down in the zone and die a lot more times
but takin me cool shader and texture

[slim plume]

yeah, i also usually just wait rain out if i don't have a flashlight which is pretty often

[charred lance]

what settings and reshade do u use? pls tell

[sudden matrix]

I followed the !reshade instructions, and I got the notification that reshade is installed correctly (But that it needs a update, which I think we shouldn't touch). Pressing home doesn't do anything. What have I missed?

EDIT: I fixed it. Turns out default key for reshade is insert.

[woven lynx]

how do I update my reshade? I see version 6 came out and I'm still on 5 but all I download is an installer :/

[thorny vortex]

You don't need to update, anomaly has "some" issues with anything above 5.7.0, that's why gamma installs it instead of new version

[woven lynx]

aaaaaaah, that's really useful info, thanks 😄 I was jsut about to start ripping files in and out willy-nilly ❤️

[sudden matrix]

@slim plume Snatched your shade settings from here. Looks nice! Thanks for sharing. I turned off bloom tho, I've never been a fan of that in games.

[languid burrow]

Does anyone know how i can reset my whole shader menu? I tried installing the atmosr shader but now half of my effects wont load anymore…

[sudden matrix]

Update: I fiddled with bloom settings a bit, making it softer, and now I'm at a happy point. Great stuff!

[slim plume]

thank you

i will probably have a look at the bloom settings i really just threw it on there and called it good enough maybe i can improve it a bit since it is pretty extreme at the current settings

[sudden matrix]

Yeah. I ended up turning it off in the end. I feel like it's making it too bright, and with your default settings, you can see the outline of these glowing effects around edges of windows, looking out.

This is what mine looks like now, with bloom off.

Another benefit of your settings and shaders is that it's more difficult to spot the outline of vortex anomalies. Default Gamma, you barely needed a detector to navigate them, since you could clearly see them.

[slim plume]

i like having it pretty bright but the bloom around windows is a little too much i agree, i actually have to aquint my eyes while looking at the sun or when there is lightning since i have my monitor on max brightness and as much contrast as i could give it while still looking good

[sudden matrix]

Absolutely love how it looks indoors, too. How the light plays on the gun and hands, and the sunrays coming in through the roof. https://i.gyazo.com/ad3409da2e8e9aa65ae6a6ce6b1731dd.mp4

[slim plume]

yeah, volumetric lighting is so good

did you use my sun settings?

[sudden matrix]

Yes

Changed gamma tho to 0.8, saturation to 1.2, and brightness 1.1

[slim plume]

yeah i think i lowered the gamma through reshade after i posted my reshade and it looks a lot better in low light environments with the slightly lower gamma

and makes fog be less washed out

[sudden matrix]

Also like how murky it gets underground! Some real horror vibes here. And this is just the Burnt Fuzz Tunnel in Cordon.

[granite sable]

EAX makes the sound change based on your environment so you will get a little bit of an echo if you're in a cave for example

Atmos and sss
You can use textures

Make sure you deleting Shader cache after installation

Some comparison pictures I took. I'm using base textures. I really like how my reahade is coming along.

[sudden matrix]

I like the washed out one, Fox's reshade. Makes it feel more radioactive, for some reason, haha

[swift robin]

Shadows in the last two are too dark. And last one is too saturated, ngl. Coar 3 seems the most neutral one.

[sour chasm]

I feel like none of those are actually set up correctly

Like you need to adjust some basic light settings and luts

[marble relic]

Probably. I didn't mess with any of the in game lighting settings.

[sour chasm]

Def try some different gamma and brightness levels it'll really change the look of all of them

[languid burrow]

Can someone please sent me these effect folders

• Cursor.fx
• LUTTools.fx
  They’re located in the anomaly forlder bin, then reshade and you’ll find it where the other effects are located like TFAA.
  I need these 2 effect folders because they’re missing in my folder, i don’t know why.

What a nice shot

I'll definitely have to post my preset again once i am done with it

[past fractal]

Is it safe to update my reshade, or do I just leave it?

[toxic mural]

Leave it

[marble relic]

Ah my bad, I didn't realize 5 is out.

[past fractal]

Gotcha, thanks.

[marble relic]

Damn, some of these look pretty neutral. I like it.

[marble relic]

I'll check it out. I haven't messed with it cuz I'll have to re adjust most of my reshade. I'll admit it does look a little off compared to others screenshots.

[sour chasm]

You should be getting your basic light settings locked in first before diving into reshade. If you don't, you'll be overcorrecting the gamma and brightness and doing a lot of unnecessary post processing in reshade which usually leads to a washed out image or way too splotchy of contrast

A lot of people like a gamma of .9, saturation of 1.1 or 1.2, and brightness somewhere between .9 and 1.1

but that's also going to depend on if your monitor is set up correctly too

[marble relic]

I use a 65 inch on game mode. I do have my nividia settings correct base off some preset I found somewhere at some point.

Btw 65 has 120hz

[sour chasm]

most monitors/TV's shouldn't even need the nvidia settings touched, they either have color and light settings built into their own UI or for monitors you can usually find an optimal .icc profile on some of the AV forums

[marble relic]

When it switched to game mode it was a bit too bright so I corrected it. I'll just have to adjust it with basic light settings and use a different reshade adjust it.

[sour chasm]

Game mode on most TV's is usually very poor for color accuracy. Those modes usually boost backlight intensity as a way to reduce response times but it's almost always a big hit to color accuracy

[marble relic]

It's just something I'll have to mess with manually cuz I can feel the latency if it's off.

[sour chasm]

I mean that's usually the price you pay with using a TV for PC games. Unless you have a top of the line OLED response times and refresh rates on TV's are always going to be worse than dedicated PC monitors.

TV's are almost exclusively designed with non-gaming video content in mind, and gaming as an afterthought. Because of the source video content being far less demanding due to 24/48 frame filming practices TV's get away with way worse response times and embellished refresh rates that very quickly drop in quality when you have source content actually performing at real time speeds.

The biggest offenders are 4k/8k displays that tout super high refresh rates/response times which get measured at lower resolutions and numbers cherry picked from the game/high performance modes that intentionally kill white/black contrast and color accuracy to mask naturally poor response time. It's actually a super predatory market and display vendors are always coming up with new jargon to try to fool people who don't have the time or ability to A/B test them or actually flesh out their perfomance.

It happens with PC monitors too but in a slightly lesser degree if only because the demand for speed and color accuracy is much higher due to professional needs for production work

Very scummy and disingenuous.

hi im a noob when it comes to reshades what packs do you guys reccomend?? any help would be appriciated

[austere hollow]

folks, my reshades dont compile or start at all on a fresh install of the latest build. This used to work out of the box, now someone is suggesting to manually reinstall reshade. I am reluctant to just slap that on tbh

any ideas why they wont compile and activate on startup? Saw no errors in the installation itself

[austere hollow]

please disregard the above, I have found the culprit and fixed it by the power of reading 😄

[swift robin]

nice

[paper spruce]

what's wrong with my game? is it reshade? in cloudy weather sun casts moon-like light

[swift robin]

hmmm, im not sure, maybe something to do with your sun ray settings if you changed that, it might also just be engine, or you might have turned your reshade off

you can toggle it with with page up

[paper spruce]

where are these sun ray settings?

[swift robin]

in advanced

ingame

graphics settings

there like towards the bottom i think

[paper spruce]

dunno, didn't touch it, I updated GAMMA which deleted reshade DLLs, so I thought it's a reshade problem, basically my game on cloudy weather looks like this

sun casts white/blue light for some reason

feels weird

[swift robin]

it may just be an engine thing

can you check what time it is on your pda so i can test this

[paper spruce]

10:47

[swift robin]

okay

[paper spruce]

11:00, feels like I'm on another planet with white star or something 😄

looks way better if I use GAMMA reshade though

[swift robin]

this is what it looks like without reshade

which one are you using?

[paper spruce]

I wasn't using any actually, after update reshade got deleted, I just installed it to see if there's any difference, but there isn't

[swift robin]

ahh interesting

[paper spruce]

yeah your game doesn't look so weird

[swift robin]

go to the gamma folder and go to .groks modpack blah blah blah, then go to gamma, modpack patches and copy everything in there to you anomaly folder, before that though, take out your user ltx from your anomaly game in appdata, or copy it, then once you have done the frist things i told you copy the user ltx you copied back into the appdata folder

that may fix it

[gaunt pawn]

If I wanted to reinstall reshade, is it fine to DL from the main site and point it to whaterer .exe file I'm using, or is it recommended I use the optional Gamma method and copy files to my stalker anomoly folder?

[paper spruce]

I just did that to install reshade, yeah

[swift robin]

i see

[swift robin]

do the gamma one,

just the bin folder for reshade

[gaunt pawn]

Just noticed your post as I was posting mine. lol Thanks!

[swift robin]

np

[swift robin]

im not sure, maybe it was just because you werent using a reshade

does it look normal with one?

[paper spruce]

no, with most it looks even worse 😄

[swift robin]

it might be your user ltx then

did you replace it with the default gamma one?

you will lose your graphics and mod settings and keybinds that you set but it will default them which might fix it

[paper spruce]

gonna try and replace it

[swift robin]

right away

its in the same gamma thingy majig

in appdata

[paper spruce]

yay I think it fixed it

[swift robin]

oh nice

[paper spruce]

or maybe weather just changed after it, I see rain puddles now

maybe a bit offtopic, but I was also wondering because of this problem, GAMMA has SSS mod, should I set sun rays mode to Screen Space or Both?

[swift robin]

im not sure honestly

[orchid sun]

How did you get it like this

[swift robin]

are you using zone reality?

because it looks like your lod's are fucked

[azure acorn]

LODS?

[azure acorn]

reshade

[azure acorn]

I do, but im gonna use ADEGA once im done with current save

[swift robin]

i see

[azure acorn]

what is a LODS tho?

[swift robin]

lod, is how objects are displayed from afar

[azure acorn]

oh

[swift robin]

to save cpu and gpu

, thats why you have squares in the distance instead of trees

its a bug in zone reality

[azure acorn]

i never notice lol

[swift robin]

yeah lmao

but some times, they turn into trucks, and leaves

,and cars

the whole pack is kinda messed up lmao

[azure acorn]

yea its why i wanna switch to adega

do you know which has better performance between the two?

[swift robin]

yeah adega is nice thats what im using rn

um no

you would have to ask someone else

[azure acorn]

okay fs thanks

[swift robin]

np

[marble relic]

I'm leaning towards 1.1

[marble relic]

Anyone know what setting causes the white aura around player character arms and guns?

[sour chasm]

1 looks better, you can see more detail in the sky and it's bright enough without making things washed out. If you want the "brighter" look of the sun that 1.1 gives, try adding some subtle bloom with a shader like Solaris. You can also see 1.1 brightness exaggerates the banding from light sources more and affects the color blending of the clouds making them look a little more splotchy.

Also I've never been able to figure out the ghost-aura around hands and guns. I always thought it was DOF but I've killed all sources of it and the aura still remains. Adding some short-length foreground DOF helps a little to mask it but it doesn't go away completely and sometimes costs you some fidelity of close up objects (or even your hands/gun). I think it's just an X-Ray thing in how it renders first-person hand/gun-models separately from the actual third-person world model of your character.

[azure acorn]

should i install the new update of reshade?

[swift robin]

no

i dont think so

[azure acorn]

okay so stick with 6.0.0?

[swift robin]

sure

[azure acorn]

okay cool

[swift robin]

i think mine might actually be outdated because im on 5.7

lmao

[azure acorn]

i think staying on that version is good for gamma tho

shit maybe i should downgrade

[swift robin]

ehh idk

[azure acorn]

idk i could keep yapping

some people say not to update

some people say do update

[toxic mural]

Don't update

Use old version

[quick tendon]

where do u guys get CAPA reshde?

[cobalt parrot]

there's a google sheet with links to several reshade presets pinned in this channel

capa should be on there

[quick tendon]

thx

[swift robin]

settings NOW

[still tusk]

i read that to open the reshade menu you press the home key but it does not work for me, any suggestions? I tried changing it to a different bind but no dice on that either

that capa reshade looked juicy

[hot flame]

level of detail

xray handles lods differently than other game engines

if you are far away the object that has an LOD flag will turn into a 2D image

it depends on the geometry_lod setting

[swift robin]

emission at 225 pm?

ODD

[autumn crow]

I’m having the same issue

I think it used to work for me but that was a while back before I updated GAMMA

[still tusk]

i read it is disabled by default and there is a way to enable it

[cobalt parrot]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !reshade

[arctic lake]

any idea whatcould cause RTGI shader to do this ?

[azure acorn]

it’s a reshade, i’ll try to find it

[arctic lake]

what about the vegetation

[azure acorn]

hmmm like 110 grass density and 0.7 for the setting below

or whatever it’s called

when i get home ill send a screenshot of it 🫡

[sour chasm]

I'm guessing it goes back to normal when you turn off RTGI?

[arctic lake]

yes
