FiringPin Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 ED's MSAA mask should function identically to mine (given they almost certainly even copied the line that does it from the mod). Though the implementation is also slightly different, but it would be odd for them to not even check it works. :) you don't know ED :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-of-heat Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Hi all, again thanks to @Kegetys for this mod, i believe i have a working mod for both Clear Water and IC pass. attached here. For IC pass to work, you have to let the shaders build once, it will fail the IC pass, exit the game and reload and it should pass. Some changes you make in system settings, may also trigger an IC Pass fail, again exit the game and reload and it should work (no i don't know why that's the case) and my guess is it will likely work with the native mod as well. This does not seem to Pass IC but does provide Clear water. use the version here for an IC pass version YMMV.

ESA_v1T1 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hello, Thanks Kegetys again for this mod, and thanks for the support patch after patch.. Hi Speed-of-Heat, thanks for you'r ic pass version, have a question.. I dont really care about IC pass, because i'm only playing in IC off servers, so im trying full version of Shaders Mod. But i have water reflection bug in cockpit at Medium settings, i know in low works greats, but I would like to know if there is any way to remove this bug in another way, to keep medium settings and full shaders mod. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-of-heat Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If you look in the ic mod folders, you will find a number of files with - - in front of them. The only one you can put back is shadows, otherwise you break the water.

itsthatguy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi speed-of-heat, I greatly appreciate you putting together an IC-Pass version of this. 1 bug I've found is a visual bug that makes the RWR in the F-18 pretty unreadable, and it just doesn't look good in low levels of light. Just thought you should be aware I'll try putting back the shadows and see if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewyeoh Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I affirm the ship wakes burn in effect recurrs in medium water setting... It happens once you near a ship then stuck there. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought you should be aware I'll try putting back the shadows and see if that makes a difference I’m just a butcher... chances are it either relates to shadows, or the transparent textures which was off in the original mod and I turned on. I would also see if it’s in the original mod.

spec10 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 somehow I can't get the IC pass version to work in MP. I follow the instructions, I get a green IC passed symbol in server browser, but when I actually connect to a server, it connects but then immediately throws me back to the server browser and the IC symbol changes to red.

speed-of-heat Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Sorry I can't seem to fix it, the green shield is not enough it seems! I might have a crack at it again tomorrow, but right now you will have to revert to this version, unless wju wants another crack at it SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitness88 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I tried it at 1.0 and at 0.1 no apparent change in visual or performance. Am I supposed to see an improvement where there are jagged edges like what AA would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wju Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 well, thanks to Kegetys, we have a very useful mod, which saves significant part of resources. Unfortunately, it is not IC pass. My modest IC pass "mod of mod", called "lite", is attached. Everyone can make it him/her self: just take latest original mod and delete all files but ones in the attachment. Install it the same way as the original. as I have said before - the frametime gain, especially comparing original, is not much, but in VR every fragment of ms counts. See the fpsVR screenshots; it is Hornet, Batumi runway, clear sky. IC pass tested on BlueFlag Caucasus and Storm of War Normandy, screenshots attached. PS: just to be clear - it is not my know-how, I had read this elsewhere, had forgotten where; but I successfully repeat it every update ;-) It is my pleasure to share this.KEGETYS 2.5.6.49314_LITE.zip i7-7820X@4.5Ghz; GPU 3080Ti, 64GB RAM, HP Reverb G2; VKB Ultimate stick; VIRPIL Throttle; Slaw Pedals; custom AX&BTN BOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was me, but, I tried this on the last mod, and couldnt get it to connect to a MP server with IC, i could get it to go green shield, but not to actuall connect to a server with IC on. Many thanks for doing this!

TopoSolitario Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Just wanted to thank you for your effort, I'm having way better fps readings in 2.5.6 (using Oculus Quest Link cable). The new Ka50 cockpit is gorgeous but steals a good amount of power. I'm having issues with the shkval at night, but I think it is not becouse of this mod but a known and old issue.

Art-J Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It's pretty much mandatory whenever the update is big and contains changes to the gfx engine. No need to bother with it otherwise (like with recent small hotfix patch), unless you start noticing some performance or visual issues. However, since the patch changelogs unfortunately never mention all changes which were actually done, it's good habit to purge shader files often, just in case. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

speed-of-heat Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 yes but with the latest version of the mod and 2.5.6 you no longer need to rename the terrain files, so that should make the rebuild quicker SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dureiken Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi thanks for this mode I tried for the first time. I used it in F16 and after a very very long time of compilation I arrived in my cockpit ! without anything else than HUD, DED and MFD. Am I alone ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST0RM Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 After yesterday's hotfix and these shaders, I was getting issues with ghosting and objects failing to render. Loading extremely long, despite the sim already booting a few times. I ended up deleting the shader mod and everything worked well again. So maybe some incompatibility?

ruprecht Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Before the hotfix this mod took me from ~25 fps to 40-45fps in my usual TTI MP server in the Huey and Hornet. Yet to test post-hotfix. 9600K / 32GB / 1080 / Rift CV1 Thanks OP! Is there any chance you can document the process for doing this on GitHub so if you lose interest in maintaining them, others can continue the work?
