VR Shaders mod for better VR experience

Sorry guys, The stuff I do is more like butchery compared to kegetys surgery.

 

I know the ic pass stuff can be flakey, especially if other mods touch it, or visa versa, , the water fix I couldn’t figure out how to make work, that was captyosi, I just operationalised it.

 

I really don’t know how to repo your problems, because, I’m not having them... which is frustrating. Sorry guys

Hell, dont be sorry!!! Your work is awesome! Its not your fault. lol

It will be sorted out in the next update I hope. We will see.

If not, I may just backup existing and do a clean install and see what happens.

So, the guys that have the shaders mod installed, do you uninstall it everytime you want to go play in multiplayer on a server?

I read somewhere you can install the shaders mod that will pass the integrity check but after searching for it I haven't found this option?

Its a server forced setting. I cant play in my squadron server because of it and have to uninstall the mod every time. If theres a way around it, I havent found the answer.

one of the reasons to install it with OvGME or JGSME, is that you have to reinstall it after each update.

I can run a version without it tripping the IC check, i made the version available here, people have differing experiences in use.

Awesome! Thanks , I shall try that out!

Did you guys ever tweak the FOV? I'm thinking this might fail IC, since the file is Server.lua. But for single player and for the Rift S, it does help to reduce the FOV from 140, to 120. Since the Rift S FOV is only 115.

the HMD isnt an issue afaik

No but server.lua of the server will win... use snapview.lua instead

Does anyone have a ready-made version of this mod that only applies the rendering mask and MSAA mask, but nothing else is changed?

So I have been still trying to get this to pass IC. Couple questions.

Do I need to install the Download for DCS World 2.5.6.47224: http://junk.kegetys.fi/DCS%20VR%20Sh....5.6.47224.zip (latest) from the 1st post by Kegetys?

Then install the IC Pass Clear Water over top of that?

I am using OvGME, so I load the Kegetys first, then the IC Pass after.

I noticed that doing this, I only have 2 files that fail IC now instead of the ones before.

Very strange.

does any of this work in 47404?

no just the IC Pass Clear Water, I modified Kegetys original base ... and you just install the IC Pass clear water mod

does any of this work in 47404?

it works on the latest beta, so yes

Can anyone help with an annoying bug I seem to have. I first thought it was a DCS problem but by removing this mod the ship wake's are fine again. As I get close to a ship wake they stay on the screen even if I'm not looking at the wake anymore. They don't go away and move around with my head movements. I've tried the latest version and it's the same.

Thats the water mod. You have to delete the water.fx mod, recompile the shaders, or do some adjustments to make it work within the water.fx file. That water.fx file though breaks integrity though, so might not be worth it in the end. If you look back a few pages, theres an issue thats exactly what you complain about now that I complained about...the fix is listed there somewhere.

Thank you.

I deleted the water.fx file which fixed it, the water looks completly different now.

I appear to have a new problem now though. The edges of the canopy and fins infront of the Hornet canopy are blurry against the sea. It also looks very odd in the outside view.

did you delete the shaders folders? the Metadata shaders, FXO folders in saved games?

Yes all deleted.

Hi Zoijar:

 

I understand that I have to add the lines that are highlighted in bold.

The lines that are not in bold I imagine that serve to know exactly where I should add the three that you mention.

And they should be in the original "Compose.fx" file

But I have a problem whit the third: I can't find it:

 

"float4 PS_MSAA_EDGE(const VS_COMPOSE_OUTPUT i, uint sidx: SV_SampleIndex, uniform bool useShadows, uniform bool useSSAO, uniform bool useSSLR, uniform bool useCockpitGI, uniform bool discardTerrainInsideFog, uniform int mode = 0): SV_TARGET0"

{

to add below:

 

discardHmdMaskMSAA(i.pos.xy, getBufferSize(StencilMap));

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Besides adding third new line, Should I change this line previously?

 

“float4 ComposeSampleMain(const VS_COMPOSE_OUTPUT i, uint sidx,

uniform bool useShadows, uniform bool useSSAO, uniform bool useSSLR, uniform bool useCockpitGI, uniform bool discardTerrainInsideFog, uniform int mode, uniform bool bSampleFrequency)

{”

 

For this other one, that you suggest in your message:

 

“float4 PS_MSAA_EDGE(const VS_COMPOSE_OUTPUT i, uint sidx: SV_SampleIndex, uniform bool useShadows, uniform bool useSSAO, uniform bool useSSLR, uniform bool useCockpitGI, uniform bool discardTerrainInsideFog, uniform int mode = 0): SV_TARGET0

{“

 

Because then we would not be talking about adding three lines only...Could you tell me how I should continue?

 

 

Thanks and best regards

Did you solve it? im trying to make just a VR mask here. But cant get it to work?

Have anybody made a VR mod that passes IC check?

- Remove terrain metacaches. For example:

Mods\terrains\Caucasus\misc\metacache\dcs dcs.lua ?

Mods\terrains\Nevada\misc\metacache\dcs

Mods\terrains\???\misc\metacache\dcs

rename those directories to dcs.old or similar. This ensures

the metashaders will be recompiled correctly.

folder? because above you asked to remove them ?

This is basic readme advice. How does that help making a mask only version?

Made it work.. testing IK had to enlarge the mask

Sorry, I don’t know what that means. Have you made a mask only version that works?

Hi,

my workaround to get IC pass version is to download the latest version of the mod from the first page of this tread and delete all but files, one can find in the version attached.

Never had a problem to log into a server.

The frametime gain is not as the original mod, but still significant as masking works pretty well.
