Hey Marty, thanks again for getting back to me regarding bloom/depth mask. I'm looking forward to whatever you end up doing next. keep up the awesome work

I can not find the beta 3.1 download link, can you help me?

The first two shows two highest quality settings. Maximum has large lighter grey shadowing while ultra mostly eliminates it but othervise shows only solid grey occlusion.

For some reason the indirect lightning shows correct color gradients instead of posterized colors. Also, note the set sample radius and how small it actually is in game. Lightning amount is raised up just to make it clearer to see.

Well.. So much for nice looking spoilered image links. I guess, dropbox doesn't support those, or am I just stupid?

I have windows 10 and mxao 3.0, and I do not see the ultra and maximum options. can you help me?

Marty, can you update the MXAO 3.1 shader for ReShade 3.1? We got several compiling errors in OpenGL games (and imagine the 2 ID3Tech-based Jedi Knights with MXAO !!)

Post the error log please. ReShade usually should not fail to compile an effect in OpenGL when it works in DirectX, so this is likely a bug.

I'm getting these too -- a whole bunch of shaders aren't compiling when ReShade 3.1 is in OpenGL mode. @Crosire help!

Yeah, that's a bug. I pushed a fix to GitHub.

Can you update the binaries?

@Crosire -- if you're going to update the binaries to include this fix, can I request one small teensy weensy quality of life improvement?

-> When you double-click on a shader in the top section, it automatically highlights and switches the cursor to that shader in the bottom section.

And then if you felt like doing more.. *hopes*

-> Right-click a shader in top section, drops down a list box with 'Move to Top' as option. This moves it to be the first shader in the list. Makes it easy to add new shaders to the top along with other selected shaders, and then re-order from there. It takes a while dragging a shader up when you have 70 odd in the list.

-> When assigning an activation key to a shader, such that the key input box is highlighted and will assign that key when pressed, do not toggle shader activation at that time. Right now, if other shaders have the key assigned (for a group enable/disable), it toggles all those shaders when assinging the key to the new shader. Suddenly you end up with your new shader having a key and enabled, and all other shaders disabled, and you have to manually toggle one or the other to get them back in sync.

And thankyou, as always, for the best goddamn gaming tool ever invented!

Up!

Up!

You had me excited there, I thought they _were_ up and checked the download page and page 1 of this thread.

Tease!

Up for the request

Thank you so much!

I really wish there was a separate list of user profiles for this specific effect as it would make a world of a difference in games that lack AO completely, like Batman Arkham Knight.

What's possible I think is a separate file that contains overrides for each UI value. If included, it'd substitute all values in current config, so all you'd need to share is that file.
We need a better sfx.thelazy as it's obviously designed for SweetFX rather than ReShade.

Now we got ReShade 3.1.1!

Marty, can you post the more recent version of MXAO 3.1 or upload the .fx somewhere?

In OpenGL:

0(71) : error C5215: Integer varying _param_MXAO_samples must be flat
0(72) : error C5215: Integer varying _param_MXAO_blursamples must be flat
0(71) : error C5215: Integer varying _param_MXAO_samples must be flat
0(72) : error C5215: Integer varying _param_MXAO_blursamples must be flat
C:\ReShade 3\Shaders\MXAO.fx(549, 1): error: program linking failed

etc etc etc.....

should beOpenGL does not support parameter interpolation on integers.
