hello guys, is there a guide or smthng that explain ho< the brightness works and all the options do ?
i mean with all the tonemap lumscale and others options
!brightness
nvm its not a command yet for some reason
1 sec
list of console commands for adjusting brightness
r__exposure
r2_sun_lumscale
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi
r2_sun_lumscale_amb
r2_tonemap on
r2_tonemap_lowlum
r2_tonemap_adaptation
r2_tonemap_amount
r2_tonemap_middlegray ```
there you go
Thanks mate !
Wich preset are you guys actually using for Gamma?
none
u dont need it
just get this
regarding this image, while im in the bush my arms are literal void, but w<hen i get out they become normal, which command should i use to change this adaptation ?
are you using reshade
yes the atmos r+
++ sry
but even when i desactivate it it still the same
ill ask in the normal help channel 🙂
does anybody know which visual setting is causing this overexposure
I just stumble uppon this video (great one by the way!) and I wonder if it's basic GAMMA or any special reshades?
This is the story of how one video set me off down a arduous rabbit hole to chase my long awaited ultimate modded S.T.A.L.K.E.R experience. Thanks to these INCREDIBLY TALENTED modders (links below to custers video with the list) With Gorgeous graphics, fresh character models, modern animations, GAMMA griding and allot of time in the reshade set...
At some point he shows this
But I'm not sure that's all there is to it
General tip to avoid getting meme’d on:
NEVER follow video guides for graphics in Anomaly as it will become outdated very quickly, especially this one which is 10 months old
fr no capitalism
How do I get into windowed fullscreen mode?
So just activate "borderless" ?
thank you !!
Just to avoid "what are the best shaders" - are there any presets or individual effects that you recommend to start with and experiment further?
A while ago, a certain version of Reshade broke some aspects of Gamma, is this still a thing?
Or is there a specific version of Reshade I need like roughly a year ago?

use reshade ONLY if youre planning on baking luts
get this and play with console commands
why D:
I only know reshade because of Gamma, which is back when the installer pre-installed it into my Gamma-files.
Without Gamma using it by itself, I would've never even tried it. lel
eats perf
compatibility issues
visual artifacts
requires knowledge to make it work
90% of what it does you can do thru engine
youre just making things harder for yourself if youre using reshade
cause nobody on this server except me, norfair and maybe lvutner can help you with it
is the other thing super-easy to learn?
Cause it took some time to get the hang of reshade.
Now that I know reshade, learning something else would require me to.. yknow, learn it again
if you knew reshade you wouldnt be asking these clueless ass questions

get already made luts + play with light balance via console -> done
if you want more than that make weather cycles
Is there any guide for commands that I can use?
Well, I specifically asked because I was about to download Reshade again, and remembered that somebody specifically told me that a crash I had with changing the settings of Gamma, like any visuals, made the game crash.
And he mentioned "If you are over version XYZ that makes it happen".
So that was kind of my question.
On what that version was or if that issue still persists.
Which by what you've said, I assume it does still exist

Thanks!
You sound knowledgeable, so I will dare to ask - what are your settings that you use?
Ty ty <3
I'll see if it is doable, and if it isn't, then I'll try your method.
I do a lot of 3d-Work and I am quite tired of learning new things that I don't need.. So I'll try to use my knowledge of Reshade that I have gotten in the past and if it doesn't work? I'll maybe swap, or leave it.
Wish me luck, thank you for your warning~
irrelevant for atmos
my settings are made for my mod so
everything is in the zip
bruh i tried to ss it just doesn't work on stalker for some reason. thank u tho
is there a fix for this or part of the game engine ?
there is, expensive fix

what isn't expensive novadays

tl;dr on dynamic large-scale ambient occlusion
you generate N shadow maps [low res ofc, light dir == ur hemisphere samples]
of course, lowend approach is to generate single shadow map. top-down, the same as for 'rain occlusion' texture [code is already there].

ale ty wiesz ze on se po prostu tonemape rozjebał nie
i tera nie wie jak naprawic
nie czytałem wyżej. tonemapa ma chuja wspólnego z hemi
jakby, siedzę kilka lat w renderze XD
🆗
samo hemi ma kilka komend które można zmienić przy włączeniu debugu [tyczy się to vanillowego xraya, bo w anomaly chyba wyjebalismy te rzeczy[
niemniej jednak, warto zeby ktos mądry wyrzucił hemi/lightmapy i zrobił coś pożytecznego

guud meme i like it
should I disable TAA In SSS to enable smoothing in reshade, say FXAA?
if you don't want TAA sure why not
Is there any way to completely remove and reinstall/reapply ReShade?
Dzięki! I potem skorzystać z podpiętej tu instrukcji do czystej instalacji ReShade'a tak?
pewnie tak
I can't seem to get a depth of field .fx to work with the newest reshade in gamma
any advice or does anyone have a reshade for gamma with a functional depth of field?
ty for the quick response, but all I get if I activate your adof is a blurry weapon
are you on 6.5.0+
6.5.1 yes
oh crap
Thanks for that documentation bth i always wonder how the lights works in games so i already started to read it, but another question come to me : is there a reshade tool that will help me to do adjust the hemi that is more comprehensive than just type commands in console ?
no
ok 🙂
adjusting hemi via reshade
but i don't rly know what im talking about also

why not just play the game
and not worry about these silly goofy configs and numbers

I fucked up my knee have to find something to do other than just play all day long
so youre stuck on your pc
and you chose to type in numbers
rather than
doing anything else
well so i admit its akward af but well thats what im interessted in at the moment
🆗
but you guys make me laught when i realised it
its not too late to turn back
in all honesty
i wish i never stepped into this rabbit hole
but its too late for me
you can still save yourself

my condolences about your past
I need to get my strider pfp too
could you hekp make that sky less bright whithout making the rest same as it is
I can help you in making the game look like you are not constantly on LSD
turn off reshade
it's like putting a fork into a power socket in your case
lmao
Not played in 5 months. Guna do big update shortly. What is nicest shader for realistic look but kinda shiny too 🤔
shader cache
Anyone know what I have to install tog et the game looking like the youtuber venoxium vids?
also what does the shadow map setting in the launcher do?
But please, read the guide carefully
Thank you.
dont listen to this troll

Welcome back to the ADHD Guide to GAMMA where I'll be showing the settings, mods, and optimizations ...
old video
you made it
Does he use sss and whatnot?
yes
okay what additional boxes do i have to check in mo2?
do what he says in this video
right
and then install this https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1370892524750635149

its optional
but if you install this
dont change any settings, just install

what does the shadow map setting in the launcher do?
Losless scaling is not scam

while you could download it for free
piracy?
When you have 60fps by default, that is
i have 90 FPS by default in GAMMA
Lossless advocates? I'm at like 55 FPS in dense areas and I'm so close to pulling the trigger and buying it
damn lossless scaling is worth it? what an unpopular opinion, let me put it with the other 3million ppl who use it everyday
Yes
If you're already running between 50 - 60 you'll see the most benefit out of it
Put Anomaly through LSFG 3.1 and you'll basically double your frames, obviously its not real but it definitely feels smoother
Anyone got any leads on this?
? reshade is supposed to apply to everything on your screen unless you mask it with a UI mask
@split maple To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message
it's got nothing to do with SSS
disable reshade bloom and adjust the SSS one instead, the game doesn't have a fully static UI so it's going to look ass whenever you're in inventory/trader menu
Have you played anomaly for the past 2 years?
Demonized has patched the game's ui for reshade. Your reshade version is fucked up. Reinstall the gamma version of it again
!reshade
@split maple To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message
why even ask that when you already know the answer
so UI masks work, okay, I didn't know
There's no need for a ui mask fx 
Its patched directly
So what happened is that gamma has updated exes but not the reshade version. The new exes do not have reshade 5.7.0 support, it only has support for the newer versions
what you need to do is update reshade manually, if you updated gamma or exes recently. There's a guide here somewhere by pipnik
I did, still the same, I can give it another go and double check
did you try this above
Oh awesome! Didn't scroll before reply
Will give it a try!
its bc gamma is shipping wrong reshade version
yeah
if you updated recently u gotta update reshade manually
Thanks for the help 
Also I figured that I was just clarifying which update it broke with:p
still getting reshade CTDs. I deleted files indicated in FAQ. There must be something else.
i dont know. check the errors.

Is it possible to get hdr for gamma? With reshade or other ways
Myślisz, że on aż tak inteligentny?

szkoda, że uczyniłem to niewykrywalnym
hi how can i change reshade settings while not having the "home" button on keyboard?
in reshade.ini.
can someone help with this damn lossless scaling
If you do not re-upload texture or effects paths in reshade settings, will it still save? I couldn't reboot the game
I believe the issue was, i named the folder path to a name I hadn't yet changed to. very much a novice with reshade stuff. I'm not sure how necessary changing these things are to see good visuals.
anyone know what might be causing my issue? Did a full clean install of Anomaly and GAMMA, both work fine but after copying the bin file from Gork to Anomaly folder the game will crash on launch, no error message or anything just a plain crash.
When I copied it, I copied the whole bin folder
yeah did the same
will try updating my gpu driver, already tried an older version of reshade (5.7) and did not work
How about installing latest exes? Since you copied whatever was in the bin (exes included)
Will give this a try, ty!
no luck, screen goes black for a while then nothing, I wonder if it has something to do with my screen/ in game resolution, will try setting my in game resolution to my native resolution
hmm still nothing, i am lost
how necessary is it to re-set the reshade "effects" and "texture" paths for the visuals to shine (Reshade 5.7)?
so for anyone having similar issue to me where the game will crash on launch when Resahde is installed i found a fix for it. Use ReShade's "dxgi.dll" Rename Method
Go to G:\Games\Anomaly\bin\
Rename dxgi.dll (ReShade's file) to d3d11.dll
(This prevents USVFS/ReShade from fighting over the same DirectX hook)
Hope this helps others having similar issues
any shader mods to upgrade the look of dx9 ?
enhanced shaders, and thats it
i just installed gamma does atmospherics come with it?
Yes.... You can just search it in MO2
how to search?

hey cutie

hiii 
:3



gross
ggwp

how can i make gamma look like anomaly custom?
use their weather / reshade preset / lut
any tips what are they?
configs textures and reshade folder
Just use Atmos
It's better 
what preset?
Yep this is the way to go
Alright use Melancholy too 

If effect and texture paths are not modified, will the various reshades greatly suffer for it?
go and check
been rambling about it the whole day cant even bother checking
When I tried to modify it before it would not boot
Take it easy dude
Just asking a question lol. I wasn't sure how different it looked without resetting the paths.

staggering difference
And when I had previously tried to check it wouldn't boot. So it made a lot more sense to just ask someone.
but there is a 1-10 chance it ctds
so you either
like
its a tradeoff
you get better visuals but you gamble a ctd every launch
its just how it works
I'm pretty new to modding and such. Only got into PC gaming last year
Alright. Thanks.
Edgy
for reshade am i supposed to clear all these and paste the same directory?
dont fully understand the guide
my shit stacked
i installed hunter 2.0 reshade and now my reshade menu doesnt open with home button (it worked before) can someone help please?
I made lut and I had a problem, what could it be connected with?
theres not much you can fuck up
most likely export
although this looks very weird
show lut
Here is the lut I made according to your guide, the one I had a question about I remade, now I have a strange border on the sky 
bro

zip it
send it in a zip

here is lut and preset
wait
you want it to be
a reshade or sss lut
cause im confused right now
reshade
Well, I don't understand much about this, I'm trying to get into it little by little, if I'm doing something wrong, you can explain it to me 
i literally said ill look at it after im finished eating my pizza ❄️
alr so uhhhhh
why reshade and not sss lut
did you make sure to disable any depth based effects when baking the lut?
From a quick view, I can see some banding
compared to acid lut from old atmos
But if the colorgrading you intended to bake didn't have banding already, then it has to be a depth based effect being left enabled ~ fucking up the lut
ye bro is trying to bake dof, depth, ambient light, a tonemap, and sharpening into a lut
off / on
ye i see it
well
only stuff you can be baking is color grading
anything depth based/tonemaps/overlays
you cant bake
Yeah... No depth based effect should be enabled when baking, and get rid of any in-game overlay like gas masks, condensation overlay, etc.. then report back
and
ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0
in the console
well does he disable tho
since its a reshade lut for some reason
he doesnt disable right
these are the only effects that you need for making a lut
dont use anything else
Well, it's good practice, yeah. Since each level in gamma has a different lut because of atmos, you can be biased on a cold level to think your preset is already cold when it could be warm in another. Best to disable sss luts when baking presets
ye but this is valid
i forgot about this per level nonsense
I'm a little distracted by work right now, I'll be back in an hour
The effects I baked are disabled in the preset.
then how am i supposed to help
if i dont know whats baked

Sorry, I'll be happy to explain how to free myself.
damn

@amber trout To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message
This isn’t really true anymore besides underground levels and maybe two maps. The most that will change will be lut intensity.
Gotcha, it's still a good idea to disable sss lut when baking presets, though. Someone could think they have a pretty good base to share and turns out they're using EZ or something that won't show up in the lut maker overlay
even if they're using PS or Lightroom to export .look tables using a collage image as base and adjustment layers instead of reshade colorgrading, if the game has any sort of colorgrading (even something as non-neutral shader_param could be detrimental to sharing the exact look) or they missed toggling off a lut like EZ's, it won't show up in the final lut
That's why I told him to bundle a .ltx with neutral/his own verified shader_param values, it's a good idea
Years ago this wasn't an issue, we could share any preset just like that because everyone basically used p.much the same base, at least in gamma.
But since the release of the SSS Lut module and the influx of new and varied shader_param profiles we've seen the last year, it's harder to share the exact setup
Also for those that don’t want to use reshade can basically do this
Yeah, that's the easier way
But reshade is still preferable and more flexible to use when creating luts
Maybe I could do a tutorial with the classic method like that one day
A palette of images and just drop the neutral lut in there, adjust with PS. thing is most ppl don't have PS and I'm not gonna learn pdn to do it 
You should, I practically link your video any time someone asks me about Luts, you just need to redo it with sss luts in mind
Yeah, the tutorial is outdated, it was from the reshade era
Possibly the best idea is to just make the tutorial using PS, and anybody that uses PDN or gimp can simply translate my method into theirs
I'll do it, and include a small guide on how to also bundle the ssfx_lut script
Yeah ideally they can attach even more than 4 images to cover a wider area such as indoor areas and such
Should be pretty solid
Yep
I'll do it with four due to media compression/easier watching
It'll take some time i'm swamped with some other wip projects rn
Yeah thanks, that overhaul is exactly what I needed to use GFY comfortably, imo.
it was all Erandis and huh, I just gave him feedback and helped with a few things
wtf am i reading
Words
I don’t see the issue?
not surprised

Can see Pip posting fucking Hippos.
Leave.
@slow star Thank you, I read what you wrote and understood that the problem with baking the image was due to using incorrect render settings, which is why I had issues with the sky in both cases.
Here are the settings I used.
Those are fine to have enabled, but make sure that qUINT_Regrade does NOT have a vignette effect enabled
And disable gasmask in stalker settings or take it off before baking lut
how do i download reshade for stalker gamma?
how

So what do i do if my screen goes black when I select a phrozac reshade? ive determined that its due to the LUT.. when I deselect that, I can see the world again
Would anyone help me set up phrozacs reshade? I tried deleting the reshade files and then d3d9 then dxgi. Copy pasted the bin from gamma. Changed the shader and texture path but im only getting atmo in the presets
can you play chess
A little
alr
good for you
chess is good for your brain
it requires strategic thinking and planning
Yes I was in the chess club in 4th grade
But
That doesnt help
It should already be a preset but the arrow just goes to atmos
Would you help me?
Damn bro why you gotta always be a smartass
Cuz you dont help
im not obliged to help you
But seriously. Cant figure this out
i dont even know you
You're on the reshade discord right? We'll i would appreciate some assistance
im not?
I followed the instructions you gave for my C drive gamma and I just cant get phrozacs to show up
You once helped me
did i
Like 2 months ago
damn
Helped me set up reshade for my D drive
The D drive was for my ssd. Which worked perfectly C drive gamma has redundancies like 2 of every preset. I tried your instructions again but I cant find phrozacs
C drive is on my computer
alr fine jesus
u followed my guide in pins
Yea
To make the 2 errors disappear
I have an idea. Imma try copy pasting the bin from anomaly from my D drive ssd to my main C drive
if you do that youre on your own
Damn

Ok lemme see what version I have it's 5.7.
is it
Yea i looked at it
so you have 5.7.0 on C drive correct
Yup
Ok
just fuckin
screenshot the window for me
cause mine is having humors
Ok
click on this
and screenshot again
bro do u have a cooldown on your screenshot button
Oh so its mods atmos then bin

Lemme try. Bro i feel like thay overwrite error is gonna be a pain
copy this
and replace this
then do this
this is all you need
and i refuse to elaborate
Ok thx
What does it mean if you delete your reshade shaders folder and gamma doesnt make another one upon startup
I copied it so I can just put it back but shouldn't gamma recreate another reshade folder?
Also dont know what this means. Does it just mean its outdated?
It says that a vector like float 4 might have been converted to a lower precision type like float without explicit conversion
i found the line of code but im not sure what im supposed to put there to make it from float to float4
Nothing to worry about.
Quick question - are there LUT presets for SSS that for the different reshades that are included in Atmospherics? I'm talking about prozac_badland reshade etc.
Would be nice not having to run reshade for a simple LUT^^
no, it has its own luts
you dont have to
youre aware of the lut module being a thing so just convert phrozacs
Wait, you're right - lemme see if I can find a guide on YT
no, there are no guides for converting
there is one for making luts for reshade but not for sss
step 4. convert lut.png to lutatlas.dds (no compression rgba8888 or rgba24242424 i don’t remember exact one)
step 5 replace lutatlas.dds with yours in gamedata/textures/shaders
step 6. edit settings lut.h (don’t remember exact name) in gamedata/shaders/r3
step 7. edit lut.script in gamedata/scripts```
Yeah, I remember that one you mentioned I think, I used to convert RAW's rather expensive color grading effects into one LUT^^
Thank you!
just make sure you backup the atmos one
if you ever need it back
cause youre going to be replacing it
I always make backups, but ty for the reminder (:
installed ReShade, and cant open Menu.. Clean install of 9.4, and havent used it before.. using a 65% keyboard but i have a Home button, and ive used reshade on other games as well..
unless it doesnt open in the menu
it does
hmm ok... then i am not sure. i selected the proper exe and everything

ok appearently it works now lol but i have red errors in the menu.. gonna do the second step rn and see if that clears?? lol
show
cant find the screenshot location so i had to sniptool this
why do you need antialiasing
sss23 is there
i dont plan on using AA
it auto enable in the preset. lol literally just opened the menu
okay and what is the preset that youre planning on using
my bad
i wanted to test them in-game, but if the errors wont allow me to then ill try AtmosGAMMA first
alr
so listen
heres the thing
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing
if you want to use presets from here
they will be broken
not all and not fully
but 6.5.0 doesnt have all the old effects

Hey @slate magnet @rapid magnet you guys if theres a fix for distant trees on the fog? mines looking weird after i updated SSS to v23
What trees even is this?
Afaik it’s the distant trees in lfo that does that because it’s not “updated” to latest graphical mods OR it’s just a fucked weather cycle
its ccon, i noticed this problem after doing the SSS23 update, before latest one 0.9.4 ( just did the SSS23 one and nothing more )
No idea then.. Haven't seen bright lfo like that in a looooong time
damn ;-; SSS23 broke my game them, at least only issue i saw on weather was this
do ya have lfo link? i wanna check versions
lfo is a texture folder
oh :v lol
I honestly can't say what exactly it is.. It looks more like it's that weather cycle or weird config or weird reshade.. Or it's the lfo freaking.. But my gut leans towards the fog in that weather cycle
I have also never really seen a weather cycle so clear above yet so foggy below
There's not a single cloud in the sky yet it's foggy everywhere
well, wanst like that before the SS23 update, i dont think reshade have something to do with it, as for weather iam using only atmos, not the extension, soo i didnt touched the configs for it, soo i go with lfo or that foggy weather circle
To be honest.. I have never seen any atmos cycle look like that.. Maybe it's a weird load order or incorrect SSS install
First time i updated SSS23 (though gamma) i got everything black, so i asked help and got the link to it, re-updated and them noticed this other problem
as for load order, i have a custom, soo i had mimic the gamma original, not sure if i need to update something together or not them
could be that
What cycle is that even.. And time of day?
foggy1 but had tested foggy2 and looked same, as for time, was early morning 9am
i forgot to test different times
also, i did a test early disabling reshade, and inst nothing related to it
i can show better later as iam not on pc right now, had to take a break to eat and bath, but i can do a video
Foggy 1 vs 2 vs 3
foggy2 9am
You beat me to it
yeah, my fog is very messed up 
This is at like, 11am.. Also using ccon trees.. So yeah something is wrong with your setup.. Maybe SSS install.. Idk
maybe reinstalling SSS23 them?
Maybe go to MCM > SSS Settings > Click Default on the Fog tab (if there is one, idk I closed the game)
Looks like the vanilla anomaly weather which can have severe fog clipping with sss, es, etc
i can try that later but i doubt would work
Did you have 549 mods when you installed gamma?
i didnt done the newest Hippo, just the SSS23 one before that
Try to update if possible, you should have 549 mods default exposure should be 0.62 gamma at 1.0, saturation at 1.0
and default all the sss mcm settings besides dof and motion blur, I dont touch those.
iam using the 0.9.3 cause i didnt wanted to break my save lol just got the SS23 one
You can manually update atmos
when installing only select these options
Also update sss to the latest while you're at it and update the exes
load order like so
sure i will try it when i turn pc on later o/ iam using a custom modlist, so updating things should work
You're on a custom modlist?
yes i added some mods when i started, not too much things, and didnt touched atmos
for example i have ccon grass and trees
Those should be fine just check conflicts and make sure nothing shader related or skybox cubemap related is in losing conflict
i dont think i have conflicts but maybe loadorder problem, i think i have the loadorder to show, 1min
couldnt found it, but will try update things later and if works i give u a shout
@rapid magnet @manic sage Found the problem, i just updated atmos to latest version + installed atmos expansion while i was there and problem gone, thank you both o/ also, i was using Eradis guide to install atmos expansion but didnt touched SSS to default it nor cfg load, ya think it would improve visuals? i think iam using atmos default cfg+reshade tweaks ( forget the question, already tested it -q )
I'd ditch reshade imo
looks bad without reshade here
if it looks bad without reshade, itll look bad with reshade
SSS has enough options to jazz things up without reshade
one minute, will show u how things are here without and with reshade, currently testing the SSS default settings
@sour chasm
grab a good LUT and play with lumscale values. that's basically all you need.
like emergent zone 2? also, iam not much familiar with lumscale values, never touched that 
grab COAR V2 it has plenty including several pink-ish ones similar to your reshade
typing lumscale in console gives you a couple drop down options. selecting each will tell you the value adjustment range, usually between -1 and 3.
that seen simple, ill try it them, thanks
after SSS23 update iam in need of some fps yesh, SSS ate some more than i could spare 
Yo guys i just started using reshade its cool i am looking to make the graphics feel more realistic
You got any Extreme Graphic Packs
hey can someone tell me how do I open the reshade menu
Smash your forehead on the keyboard you’re bound to open it after a couple of tries
Press home
XDDD i tried
well thats the issue i dont have an home button, i use a german layout keyboard
line 38 ||KeyOverlay=36,0,0,0|| in ||anomaly/bin/||reshade.ini
https://keyjs.dev/ for values
if dxgi.dll is not present in that folder, type !reshade in #🤖bot-commands
wdym so its not working bc its not in game?😂
its not installed by default unless you untick delete reshade dll's in the installer
but he's saying he doesn't use reshade because SSS 23 does everything you'd want from reshade at a much lower performance cost
Does anyone know how to save the ssfx_lut parameter to keep the desired settings when reloading/moving to another map?
edit ssfx_lut.script in gamedata/scripts
ok, thx
what
wait not post fx, reshade

aweasome ty 😄
Thank you. Exactly this. TAA was for me the only thing for keeping Reshade active. After Asciis magic i dont need Reshade.
Yeah the SSS TAA is miles ahead of anything reshade had
Tbh I keep it just so I can change how the game looks not for AA methods anymore
why
between luts and the internal settings there's no reason to use reshade unless you are addicted to DOF
@sour chasm Hey Gob, i tried the luts but still didnt got the quality of my reshade preset, still missing colors and some deepness, dont know how to explain, do SSS23 have tweaks for color and something like clarity like the reshade have?
no clarity
you need to play with light settings
try r__saturation
with a value of 1.5-2
also try different intensity of the LUT
ssfx_lut .5,96,0,0 will give you 50% intensity of LUT 96, for reference
then adjust your lumscale as needed, and lumscale_hemi for outdoor shadows and lumscale_ambi for indoor shadows
I like a higher contrast from basic light settings too, so try like rs_c_contrast 1.15
when you find a LUT and intensity you like, make sure you set it in the ssfx_lut.script under COAR Collection > gamedata > scripts
so it launches with that everytime
you dont have to type those commands all the way out either, just use identifier words to search them in console like lut, satur, contrast, lumscale, amb, hemi, etc and use the drop down to autocomplete
there's AO settings under SSS too, and you may need to enable and adjust the TAA sharpness
i have a ssfx_lut here that i use from venoxium video, to get rid of the gloomy filter from atmos, i was trying the luts without altering it cause if i load the coar cfg the game goes darker, if i alter ssfx_lut maybe will mess it? for reference, i use mostly of his settings lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh7spmLX-EQ

Welcome back to the ADHD Guide to GAMMA where I'll be showing the settings, mods, and optimizations ...
that video is out of date
just use COAR
and load the cfg_load coar_neutral
you can change the lut in game with ssfx_lut and go through all 100 in game to see which one you like
yeah i tried that at fist too, and noticed it got darker, i played with the sliders in video configs to see how works, and commands too
the neutral cfg is just that, neutral. its to make the best base settings possible for the lut to apply overtop. it should just be desaturated, not dark. if it's too dark then you maybe need to change settings on your monitor first, or grab a calibrated .icc file for your model of monitor
the default contrast with coar_neutral is like .93 or .96, something low, so if its too dark something is wrong
make sure you delete your shader_cache too
before launching
i think could be my monitor, i have a .cc for it too, let me show u diference between ssfx_luts
first with the video ssfx_lut, second its coar neutral, on ss its way less noticeable, ingame theres alot of diference
reshade on, i forgot to disable but just to show filter
yeah because the saturation is low on the coar neutral config
you need to raise your saturation once you load it
its a baseline cfg
understood, soo saturation comes first
first you load the cfg, then you increase saturation, then you play with luts
saturation + contrast really
then lumscale changes to get the right lighting and shadows
real first step is uninstalling reshade
and getting +10fps back
iam trying to adjust the saturation now
mine i think eats a bit less fps if not wrong, but after sss23 all fps are apreciated
just type "contrast" in console
dont use the sliders under basic light settings
.5 or even .02 can make a lot of difference for contrast and brightness
I wouldn't even touch gamma tbh
i've put contrast 1.5 and saturation 3
thats way too high on contrast, and max saturation is 2
try like 1.1 contrast, and 1.8 saturation
kill that mask overlay in settings > visual > player
well i tried without it, but i like with the mask, as it shows cracks on it too
you can turn it back on if you want, but you should be doing all your visual settings without it since it can change the look of everything

I want to edit weather settings in debug mode. Do I need to edit each hour of the selected weather setting individually? I want to change the sky color.
yes
Does anyone have a reshade preset for projetc inverno?
Did you delete shader cache?
no
Delete it and try again
TU
Does anyone know how to change the color of the grass to make it more varied?
!grass
@marble aspen follow this: #╭📖faq message
or ssfx_floravariation 1,0,0,0 in the console
not really sure what kind of varied you want
Yes, the ssfx_floravariation command is what I need. But I can't get it to look right.
nobody can
its just a proof of concept feature
its not properly implemented yet
your best bet of getting proper variation is to recolor texture atlases for grass per every level
preferably in like photoshop
then export via nvtt

Hello! Maybe this is a better place to ask this question
Does the "classic textures" mod work with the latest update?
Or has anyone tried it before and can give me some feedback?
I am just trying to win as many fps as I can
is there any guide somewhere to know how to change the overall color of the image ? i'm using the last sss update with the last atmos update and i want to touch some values cause game seems too grey to my taste, also want to reduce the warm color but i'm a little bit lost with all those ssfx effects and settings
Use reshade for this, there are some color filters in it
Or, if you don't want to drop performance just for a color filter, go here instead:
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1371712074157391912
Thank u guys
is the performance very notorious? cause those images looks awesome #1371712074157391912 message
There are no performance drops with an LUT mod.. Not even 1 frame
Where with reshade you can sometimes drop 3-5 frames just for having it installed (nothing even loaded yet)
The LUT mod I linked has 100 LUTs to choose from
I see thanks i will take a look, looks dope
Should commands from Enhanced Shaders like shader_param_X do anything? It's strange, because several commands (including standard ones) produce no results - for example, changing the contrast with rs_c_contrast - there's no visible difference between the min/max values.
rs commands only work in fullscreen
dont use them
Ok, this explains the problem with the contrast command since I changed to borderless mode
I created one for myself and edited the ssfx_lut script, but I tried to make some small changes and got a little confused with the rs commands
if you already have one just edit it in whatever software u have
any will do
do +0.1 contrast on the atlas
save as png
and re-export
Ok, thanks

@gloomy dust To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message
just found a solution to my "the bright tree problem"
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 1.0
solves it !
(to the console)
i may be missing something but where are the links to download reshades at?
the reshade website
or the faq guide tells you how to reenable the one that comes with gamma
does anybody know how to make this look better and the menu brighter. this picture looks worse on my screen
ive already enabled it but dont really like any of the ones it comes with, what are the popular ones people use/whats the website?
oh, theres a spreadsheet in pins somewhere and you can find some in mods posting, most people dont use reshade anymore though
cause useless
luts cover color grading
sss covers basic post process
and antialias
you dont need more
i see, well then how do i go about getting luts?
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1035807043933720576 u go here and type lut
atmos and melancholy also have a lut in them
Thank you kindly
this doesnt have lut in name (for reasons unknown)
but it has 100 luts to chose from
good if youre picky
much appreciated
okay quick question, how do i get rid of the reshade after enabling it via the faq page, tired of having it load when i alt tab even tho no actual reshades are on if that makes sense
!deshade
@steady marsh Go to your [Anomaly]\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll files
my saving grace once again
After the update I'm having this "ghosting" problem about shadows
Do you guys know why?
Idk maybe if you showed what you meant then PIPNIK might be nice
yeah ok
ye
i mean you can use a reshade if you want
there is just really no point in doing that rn
you got luts for colorgrading and sss for basic postprocess
only stuff you dont have is like
dof and film grain
or some stuff like this
which if you really want lets say film grain
use reshade for it but keep the other stuff in engine
#╟🎑reshades please
no clarity too
Anyone know any reshade settings to make it brighter inside building or is it just normal for the insides to be more dark
eyeadaptation.fx
fAdp_BrightenHighlights=0.250001
fAdp_BrightenMidtones=0.050000
fAdp_BrightenShadows=0.250000
fAdp_DarkenHighlights=0.000000
fAdp_DarkenMidtones=0.000000

fAdp_Strength=0.850000
fAdp_TriggerRadius=5.000000
fAdp_YAxisFocalPoint=0.700001```
use this config for it
Thanks 🙏🏽

Anyone know how to uninstall reshade
!deshade
@pliant schooner Go to your [Anomaly]\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll files
Thanks
But it doesn’t matter lol
I have to do a fresh install anyway
Some files got corrupt in the anomaly launcher idk
Was working fine yesterday
i followed the steps and all my shaders doubled?
@near lotus can we add my guide to the reshade faq or at least delete this channel into oblivion 

cause you probably updated
from 5.7.0 to 6.5.1
by pressing the update button
right
cause youre on 6.5.0+
and !reshade installs 5.7.0
i installed fresh, i think its cuz i installed the guys reshade zip from screen shots
you didnt check whats in the zip?
i did
user.ltx
he put user.ltx
ye thats why u dont download stuff from random ass clueless dudes

ggwp
cuz it had his in game graphics settings
u didnt backup yours
i mean i dont mind icl
no its not how this works
this is not a way of transfering settings
whoever did it like this is just dumb
what should i do mate cuz the gifs are pointing to i ruined my game
but it doesnt feel like i ruined my game
nah youre probably fine
