[Mod] Jugbot's Shaders

Shaders

After some trial and error, I finally made my first shader mod! My first priority was to increase the contrast of ME's muddy colors so the game feels more lively. I made a normal "low contrast" and an extreme "high contrast" for those who want to be stimulated On the side I also made a black and white shader 'cause, why not?

How to Install
Since shaders are not supported as mods, you will have to add them manually. Don't panic! This is stupidly easy:

Code:

1. Go here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MedievalEngineers\Content\Shaders 2. Then dump desired postproccess.hlsl in there! 3. ??? 4. Profit

So you want to edit settings eh? What, are my shaders not good enough?! Well fine, I'll tell you how to tweak my shader since I'm a nice guy.

First off, you only need a text editor to edit the postproccess.hlsl. You will get something like this:

Code:

#include <common.h>[/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [SIZE=7][SIZE=3][FONT=arial] [LEFT] #include <postprocess_base.h> ///https://github.com/KeenSoftwareHouse/SpaceEngineers/blob/5ec4a05e16d07e057e67f997bcf8a397d388d111/Sources/VRage.Render11/PostprocessStage/MyPostprocess.cs void fullscreen(uint vertex_id : SV_VertexID, out PostprocessVertex vertex, inout uint instance_id : SV_InstanceID) { vertex.position = float4(-1 + (vertex_id == 2) * 4, -1 + (vertex_id == 1) * 4, 0, 1); vertex.uv = float2(0 + (vertex_id == 2) * 2, 1 - 2 * (vertex_id == 1)); } Texture2D Source : register( t0 ); #ifndef MS_SAMPLE_COUNT Texture2D<uint2> Stencil : register( t1 ); #else Texture2DMS<uint2, MS_SAMPLE_COUNT> StencilMs : register( t1 ); #endif #include <math.h> void copy(PostprocessVertex input, out float4 output : SV_Target0) { float r = Source[input.position.xy].r; float g = Source[input.position.xy].g; float b = Source[input.position.xy].b; float contrast = 0.17; float brightness = 0.11; float saturation = 0.1; float slant = tan((contrast + 1) * M_PI_4); float3 rgb = float3(r,g,b); rgb = rgb + ((1.0 - rgb) * brightness); rgb = (rgb - 0.5) * slant + 0.5; float3 hsv = rgb_to_hsv(rgb); hsv[1] += saturation; output = float4(hsv_to_rgb(hsv), Source[input.position.xy].a); } void clear_alpha(PostprocessVertex input, out float4 output : SV_Target0) { output = float4(0,0,0,1); } void copyWithStencilTest(PostprocessVertex input, out float4 output : SV_Target0) { output = Source[input.position.xy]; #ifndef MS_SAMPLE_COUNT if(Stencil[input.position.xy].g & 0x40) { discard; } #else [unroll] for(uint i=1; i<MS_SAMPLE_COUNT; i++) { if(StencilMs.Load(input.position.xy, i).g & 0x40) { discard; } } #endif }

All you have to do is play around with the contrast brightness and saturation levels to get the desired result. Of course you can go farther than that but it's up to you.

NOTE: I *ahem* borrowed GIMP's brightness-contrast algorithm so technically if you take your value, divide each by 127, divide brightness by 2 once more, you should end up with the same brightness and contrast... technically.
