Amazingly Realistic Immersion Mod

Hello,

I was able to use the plugin successfully, but F12 no longer seems to take screenshots. Is that a known behavior when using the modifications?
 
I was able to use the plugin successfully, but F12 no longer seems to take screenshots.
So first of all, F12 is steam. You haven’t switched to the standalone launcher in the meantime I’ll take it?

Apart from that I have no idea if 3DMigoto interferes with the Steam overlay. You should definitely make sure you haven’t bound F12 to anything else in the d3dx.ini, that might or might not cause problems.

Yeah I don't know the best way to launch the game which if memory serves was related to SteamVR. I tried at some point to use a command like below which I got from a script by CMDR AussieDroid but I think it tried to run the game in regular mode as opposed to VR mode. Although honestly it was a while back and I can't remember exactly which error it gave. But before I had VR a command like it used to work (again, if memory serves).

Code:
START /d %STEAM-PATH% Steam.exe steam://rungameid/359320

But to your other comments about the keys I made the same assumption, because of the VK_F1, 2, 3 lines in the .ini file. That's okay though, I just thought I'd take a stab in the dark to see if anybody had heard of that. I tried commenting out those lines and the ones around them but the result was that the mod didn't take effect at all.

Taking screen shots and making videos are little features that would be occasionally fun to have but I don't need them so much. I may end up sacrificing screen shots (they aren't that high quality anyway because like you said they are Steam doing it) for this mod. I really really really REALLY (did I mention really?) like turning off the other ship's bright lights during super cruise. It always blinds me. The other thing I like is the way it makes the stars look. Making the cockpit dark is also pretty neat.

F10 (Alt+F10 for high res) is Elite’s own screenshot button. Saves bitmaps to an obscure folder though, so you better use one of the various 3ʳᵈ party tools to convert & move them someplace more useful.
 
Aha that's perfect. My throttle setup has a button for it I just didn't know it was in-game and therefore a different folder. The file ends up in the pictures folder. Thanks.
 
Well, I'm back! You can thank the return of Galnet for the return of Old Duck. I've got a present for you all, at least those of you who think Thargoid "spit" looks cheap and out-of-place on burning stations:
Code:
; Remove Thargoid "spit" from stations and megaships
[ShaderOverrideThargoidSpit] 
Hash=2f2f838b879208f6
Handling=skip

Speaking of burning stations, the optimization code I include in the d3dx.ini file for asteroid belts also works great in burning stations. I was getting some serious lag in VR until I turned this on, and it smoothed everything out nicely.

When time allows, I'll be cleaning up my new and improved d3dx.ini file, along with the colorful HUD shaders, and then I'll post those here. I won't be doing anything more with atmospheric worlds since Odyssey is now coming to VR (at least the flying / driving bits), so I need to clean up my shaders of all this experimental stuff and focus on Horizons for now. Once Odyssey drops, then I might tweak the atmospheres Frontier gives us, which is a LOT easier than trying to make my own.
 
Okay folks, this is it, I took the time to properly package up the mod (which includes a ton of shaders) into a single zip file which you can download and easily install into your Elite Dangerous directory.

DISCLAIMER - THIS IS BETA RIGHT NOW, LOOKING FOR TESTERS. BACK UP YOUR CURRENT MOD FILES (d3dx.ini and shaders) BEFORE INSTALLING!

If you are interesting in testing the latest mod, just download the zip file linked to below and extract into your elite-dangerous-64 folder. You'll notice that this zip contains all the files you need, including the 3DMigoto files! Once this has been tested, I'll rewrite the OP to reflect all these changes.

Here are the keybinds for the latest mod:

F1 = Cycle HUD (4 levels) - hold shift to toggle cockpit lights independent of HUD
F2 = Toggle white targets visible on radar (materials, fragments, wakes)
F3 = Cycle skybox (3 levels)
F4 = Toggle ambient light / "HDR shadows"
F6 = Toggle Holome visibility & camera blackout

This latest mod adds more HUD declutter options and my extra customized color scheme! However, it is very much "my" color scheme, so you're going to have to edit the appropriate shaders if you want to your HUD colors to something else. I've also included my GraphicsConfiguration.xml file for reference, in case you wish to use this to recreate my visuals exactly. Someday, if there is enough interest and if I have the free time, I might be able to write an app to aid you in customizing these colors yourself. Personally I hope Frontier just gives this feature in the game, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, for those of you who know what you are doing, go ahead and give it a try. Remember, back up your current mod files first. Heck, back up your entire elite-dangerous-64 just to play it safe! Let me of any bugs you find or questions you have.

Anyway, for those of you who know what you are doing, go ahead and give it a try. Remember, back up your current mod files first. Heck, back up your entire elite-dangerous-64 just to play it safe! Let me of any bugs you find or questions you have.
I gotta say this looks so much better, I never thought it could look any better than the OP.
Didn't find any bugs but I haven't visited burning stations yet.
Stars looks amazing with this mod. Thank you so much Old Duck.
 
I will definitely try this today and report back on any bugs I found!

One quick question regarding shaders and HUD; do you think it's possible to remove the window but retain outside HUD elements such as your weapon reticules and target marker? I think it's shocking that in 3306 we still haven't figured out how to make streak-free windows... As a material scientist, I find that completely unrealistic, and as a player the streaks annoy me!

Not asking you to create any shaders, just wondering if in your professional opinion you think that's possible?
 
Just in case anyone hasn't asked.. is it possible to remove the screen tinting feature they added in 3.3 which makes everything within ~1kls of the star look horrible? If this fantasy land is possible, it might be possible to remove the blue background from the fss which would be a strong curiosity. Thanks for considering.

I do think it is possible by editing the shader directly. I'll play around with it and get back to you.

Yes to all of the above, sorta. Try my mod with my GraphicsConfiguration settings enabled (as for getting rid of the blue fog in FSS, I did that once but I think it also got rid of the "blobs" used to zero in on planets).

Is this going to clash with stuff like ReSahde?

I don't think so, as Reshade is post-processing and the stuff I do is pre-processing. That said, it might "antiquate" some Reshade settings. If you try it, just toggle off Reshade first to see it in default form, then toggle Reshade back on.

To get the full effect, you'll need to apply some changes to GraphicsConfiguration.xml as well. It's all documented at the top of the d3dx.ini file included in the zip (or you can just use the xml I provide).

Thanks. I'll give it a go at some point, once I have all of the other 999999 things out of the way from my to do list :D
 
I will definitely try this today and report back on any bugs I found!

One quick question regarding shaders and HUD; do you think it's possible to remove the window but retain outside HUD elements such as your weapon reticules and target marker? I think it's shocking that in 3306 we still haven't figured out how to make streak-free windows... As a material scientist, I find that completely unrealistic, and as a player the streaks annoy me!

Not asking you to create any shaders, just wondering if in your professional opinion you think that's possible?
Mission accomplished! You'll need to drop these two shaders into your ShaderFixes folder. If there is demand for it, I'll add it to the main mod with a setting in the .ini file.

ahmmm... does this "clean" the windows, like, removing that OCD triggering dust??

If so, this will be GREAT! Testing tonight!

Thanks!
