Shaders Patch - Dynamic Lights

VeniVici

the lights dont work right in replay for me is this normal? its been crossed off as an issue as if its been fixed ?

x4fab

VeniVici sorry, it works for me. Are you sure you’re using last version?

NeilMcMath thank you! Yes, of course, I’ll tune it down, right now it’s such a lit up mess on a starting grid with a lot of cars.

mclarenf1papa oh, thank you! So glad I put those builds here.

Shai just in case, do you see Reshade message while starting AC? If not, do you have dxgi.dll in AC root folder?

NeilMcMath

Excellent work - when a car is behind, the cockpit of your car is lit up too brightly and you struggle to see anything !! the dash is just a blur of white. if this could be shaded darker to lighter (darker at the foot well and brighter towards the roof level) it would be awesome.

Really good work guys, please keep it up !!

Hello! Excellent work! I'm trying to watch the replays or put the TV cameras of the F3 but the lights are stuck to the ground, as we could correct that, since I see that in your video if it works. Thank you!

CharlieVega Yeah I have the same issue, Joycam works fine thou.

CharlieVega @x4fab Can confirm that this is an issue in 1.1.7; 1.1.6 is fine.

x4fab Hello there, I would like to ask you if You could in any way help me with the problem I have with the mod, I am using GME and for some reason cant get the mod to work, tried reinstalling both the mod and GME as well as the whole game, tried asking some other people if they could help including Trawa from yt and the only thing I know from that is that something is blocking the shader from hooking up to my AC

CharlieVega

mclarenf1papa Can confirm that this is an issue in 1.1.7; 1.1.6 is fine.

Yes 1.7 I will download the 1.6 to test.

CharlieVega

I just tried the 1.6 and the same thing goes on as before.

CharlieVega

In version 1.5 funtion ok

Tested 1.7 - overall I'm impressed, with a single car it does look really nice already (looks brilliant in the first video below). Performance overall seems okay. However there's still some issues I've noticed so far
- with multiple cars I do find that the exterior lights on the ground from several cars gets very bright, cars shined on by other cars seem to lose reflections sometimes (in some of the videos, looked at from the outside) and appear too bright and the whole interiors get extremely bright when shined on by a following car (in some cars some areas of the cockpit appear entirely white, see the McLaren in the second video). I've tested this with default AC, my own custom as well as the weather's pp presets and different night weathers - some pp presets make it less bright but don't eliminate the issue entirely.
- In replays the dynamic lights don't appear work.
- And in external (F3) track cameras the lights stop following the cars and are "stuck" on the ground as one of the posts above said.

Looking forward to how this develops

Some tests with AI cars:

x4fab

JMartinni thank you for test! I think I’ll tune down lights from other cars (and for player car in replay mode so they’d look the same), this way it would also solve a lot of performance issues as well.

Shai

x4fab i do have the .dll folder, but there is no message I think, unless i have been overlooking it the whole time but im quite certain it isnt there
I know that I do not have a .log folder which is needed

JMartinni

Correction - lights do work in replays but they're stuck in external cameras (as mentioned above). One observation about that: lights continue to follow the cars when moving the camera in free cam mode (F7) but get stuck/stop updating as soon as you stop moving the camera.

Hey, my lights don't work properly in replay and free cam. The lights are getting stuck on the ground and do not follow the car. On version 0.1.5 they were working fine, but on v0.1.7 they aren't working and are getting stuck on the ground. Is this a common bug or is it just happening to me? I would really like to get the lights to work properly again as I would be able to make more videos using them. Much appreciated for the help, thanks!

JMartinni

Here's a video that showcases what I was mentioning about losing reflections/exteriors being too bright - it seems the shader changes have some negative impact on how the textures/materials look when shined on directly (colours become brighter, texture compression is visible). Not sure why this is only sometimes the case while other times (first three videos above for example) it appears to work mostly fine. Also the stuck lights in external cameras.

x4fab

~~Could somebody with that replays bug please contact me so I could send a bunch of builds trying to find the solution? Unfortunately I still can’t reproduce this bug here.~~

UPD: I think I found some problem with replays and outside camera, maybe this is the issue… But for me, light disappears, rather that gets stuck. Still, maybe it’s the same bug.

paddythegamer

x4fab Okay great. I hope this bug could be fixed soon.

mclarenf1papa

x4fab If you still want help testing, I should be around for a bit. Sent you a request on Skype

Darxtreme

Hi! First of all, Awesome work, you are making Assetto Corsa 1000 times better!
I tried the night shader mod and i saw that it works only on windowed Assetto Corsa. If i try to run the game in fullscreen, it immediately crash. What is the problem?

x4fab

Darxtreme thanks! It might be a Reshade-related issue. What graphic card do you use?
m3gt2 thank you! What is the problem with Reshade in VR? Latest version, hopefully, should work.
Anti-Core I think latest version should work, or try v0.1.4 and tell me if it’ll work for you or not.

m3gt2

wow! amazing - finally night Nords is possible!
Could someone explain how to launch it in VR without reshade? i see someone has done that!
