Yeah, we heard about this (several vids have posted) and it comes with all sorts of problems.
But still looks sweet :-)
Dont use these old settings. They are obsolete now. I have an improvement available on my channel but my aim is to further improve it in several ways.
I merged my progress into the redux mod thread since its the next logical step. The problems associated with injection are fixable if someone codes a middle man between reshade and the game app that lets the effects pass from the game itself be done AFTER not before reshades effects. Order matters. Basically the full screen color effect is taking place before the ambient occlusion so it bleeds through. If the ambient occlusion was applied first this would not be a problem. Same with screen space reflections though i have those turned so far down no defects arise based on that layer of treatment.
Its still overall a superior render. There you will find the video showing off its present limitations.
Working on other fixes. I work part time IRL so progress will come in waves.
Next step is level specific reshade presets that id like to run automatically at a certain point in the future. My goal is to get more than just random disjointed effort for an objectively superior end result. We have the tools to remaster the game. Its a matter of skill and desire. Help me.
Also the ability to do this with reshade might become the holy grail of retro enhancement since it would erase injections weaknesses. It just depends how that translates, it might be that we cant generalize and must make per application drudgery our only option of improvement. So far no one has achieved this as far as i have seen anyway. Its not impossible.
Look at Doom 3 raytracing. To get that working you need to play the discord game. Same with goldeneyes textures. This to me cheapens the end result because you should be doing it prosocially without the whats in it for me. Superior art you get to share. A few dollars here and there for something that can be spread around anyway seems like a bad long term investment. What i get out of it is a good project based learning experience.
Let this thread die. Comment on redux thread instead.
