Its very quick and simple as a custom shader with the framework but I will have to find a quiet minute between the Configurator implementation

Thanks, take your time, im very new to this sort of thing but I feel that Rockstar didnt do the tanks hud justice. I plan on making the hz part on the right grab the frame rate in game, also the cannon's fire how it goes from READY to WAIT, most likely on a timer as its the same every time, I also want to make a compass that displays Rotational Degrees North Being 0', and last a display that show the turret orientation, however im not sure if the tank has a bone that is in line with the turret I can Call for rotation, hope so anyway.

So this is how it looks with very little code::

This is the code::

NAMESPACE_ENTER(CFX)

#include CFX_SETTINGS_DEF

texture HudTex	< string source = "ReShade/CustomFX/Textures/CFX_hud.png"; > {Width = 2560; Height = 1440; Format = RGBA8;};
sampler	HudColor 	{ Texture = HudTex; };

float4 PS_Hud(float4 vpos : SV_Position, float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD) : SV_Target
{
	float4 hud = tex2D(HudColor, texcoord);
	return lerp(hud,tex2D(RFX_backbufferColor, texcoord),min(1,2.25f*pow(abs(hud.r+hud.b+hud.g)/3f,50)));
}

technique Hud_Tech <bool enabled = RFX_Start_Enabled; int toggle = RFX_ToggleKey; >
{
	pass HudPass
	{
		VertexShader = RFX_VS_PostProcess;
		PixelShader = PS_Hud;
	}
}

#include CFX_SETTINGS_UNDEF

NAMESPACE_LEAVE()

Create a Hud.h file in /ReShade/CustomFX with that code.
Then open ReShade.fx and add after...

#include EFFECT(CustomFX, Gr8mmFilm)

...the new line...

#include EFFECT(CustomFX, Hud)

I have no photoshop anymore and you alpha is blowing up the .png to 14MB which is way to huge. Therefore, I dropped the alpha and used this .png instead::

It is only 62KB big. Drop it as CFX_hud.png in your /ReShade/CustomFX/Textures folder.

After that you should be able to run the game with that hud

Its only a few lines so if you can create a smaller .png with alpha it should be easy to adjust :side:

Wow thank you so much, I can easily use compression, the one I gave was uncompressed, if I compress then I should be ok. thanks again

Can you post that compressed .png, you would need to change a little line in that code :side:

To use alpha, change

return lerp(hud,tex2D(RFX_backbufferColor, texcoord),min(1,2.25f*pow(abs(hud.r+hud.b+hud.g)/3f,50)));

return lerp(tex2D(RFX_backbufferColor, texcoord),hud,hud.a);

It is much more accurate but make sure to compress that huge .png file :lol:

How did you export game data to ReShade?
