Can't get UIDetect work

Hi, I try a lot of things but I can't get the uidetection works, the effects just pass through the layer UIDetectMaskRGB as it shows:

Without the effect
ibb.co/T1k1zbc

With effect eneable, with a reset before
ibb.co/0f7MgfF

The only thing that "works" is the black area - UI desired - that is eneable by uimask_bottom
ibb.co/WtQGHcs

I noticed that when I eneable uidetect, it doesn't appear any option to adjust, nothing happens

Any help is appreciated!

First, UIMask is a seperate shader. UIDetect only uses UIDetect, UIDetect_Before, UIDetect_After and comes with it's own UIDetectMaskRGB.png.

Have you read the description ( github.com/brussell1/Shaders/blob/master/Shaders/UIDetect.fxh ) and followed it's steps?

Hi Brussell,

Yes, I followed the description but I don't know what I'm missing... this is my UIDetect.fxh config

#define PIXELNUMBER 3

static const float3 UIPixelCoord[PIXELNUMBER]=
{
float3(40,8,1),
float3(39,7,1),
float3(84,4,1),

}
static const float3 UIPixelRGB[PIXELNUMBER]=
{
float3(0,0,0),
float3(212,203,196),
float3(192,184,144),
}
*/

This is the png image that I use for detection:
ibb.co/5241Dz7https://ibb.co/5241Dz7


and the effects order:
ibb.co/0f7MgfF

The pixel coordinates and color are based in this top left part of the screen (1920x1080)
ibb.co/T1k1zbc

Thanks!

Are you sure you set "UIDetect_USE_MASK" to true?
If yes, it could be possible that the color values you got from the screenshot don't match with the real ones. You can check this via "UIDetect_ShowPixel" (details in description) and edit the values accordingly.

About the first, yes, as the follow image:

ibb.co/VDSTWRT

I check the colors and coordinates in Photoshop and they are ok, but as you said in the instructions maybe there is some change ingame vs screenshot, so how I can eneable UIDetect_ShowPixel? it this an effect? because I don't find it in the library

"-UIDetect_ShowPixel must be the first and only effect in the load order when used"

Thanks in advance

Yes, you should find UIDetect_ShowPixel in the list of effects. Once enabled, you can set the x and y position of the pixel for which you want to see the color.
Then take a screenshot and use a color picker tool in Photoshop to see the real RGB values.

Hello im having issue with making Detect UI work... tried everything that came to my mind. Here is video showcasing what I did, if you can please help me

So in your case, activate UIDetect_ShowPixel as the first in the effect order and enter your first coordinate (3025,112) into Pixel X-Position, Pixel Y-Position. Take a screenshot and check the real color values of that pixel and write/correct them in the UIPixelRGB array. Always start with one pixel for every UI-layer. If it works with one pixel, add another one etc.

So I did exactly that, but with the default 2 pixels per UI, RGB values were slightly different from ones that I got from the screenshot, but it didn't work either. So I should try with single-pixel?

Yes, it should look like this:
Btw, are you sure the UI is 100% opaque?

So what now? I got pixel cords for the skull, got show pixel, screened it, got RGB values, and modified it to just use one pixel. Still nothing

Pretty sure. When screened without clear alfa channel - im pretty sure that element is opaeque.

Hmm, what Stalker game/mod is this? Seems I need to check it out.

I did a quick test with Stalker Anomaly Dx11AVX and it works just fine for me.

As a last option you could try to raise the value of epsilon in line 29 of UIDetect.fx a bit, eg 0.0001 instead of 0.00001.

That EFPs 3.0 Custom UI.... will try testing with line 29 today.

I've just updated the shader. I don't know if the changes solve your problem, but you should try it out.

Hello Sir,

Thank you for this fine script. It is working as a charm with menus. I came accross to an issue though. Im using DOF shaders but when I pull a gun in game (lets say in Cyberpunk 2077) I´d like to use detect UI to hide DOF. I made a video with the issue and following scenario...The gun holstered means no HUD elements (all shaders active), I pull the gun out the HUD interface pop on the screen (all shaders should decativate according the pixel taken from the screen with HUD). Seems to be working but I tried several different pixel HUD spots but always with the same result - flickering (turning the shaders on and off rapidly).

Would you have any ideas how to solve this issue? Im using UIDetect 2.2.



Thank you.
Yoss
 

Are you sure that the HUD is 100% nontransparent?

Well, it seems that all in-game hud objects in Cyberpunk 2077 cant work with DetectUI as they are not probably fully opaque. What a shame. Thanks anyway.
