I was missing a flashlight in Deus Ex Mankind Divided, so I ended up making a shader that replicates one.

It supports adjusting the halo size, color, brightness and distance. You can also disable the small texturing effect I added, as well as the distance effect (for games with no depth buffer, or if you don't need it). The macros are pretty self-explanatory.
I didn't implement in-shader shortcut keys as I feel toggling the shader on/off with a bound key is a simpler and more easily customizable solution.

I made a small update that improves how the flashlight texture blends into dark environments. It's already updated in my repo so the link should already point to the latest version.

Hello there,
How do you bind a single shader to a key (not talking about the gloabl shade ON/OFF bind). I've been looking for hours but can't figure out how to do it. Do i need to edit the shader and add for exemple the file KeyCodes.fxh from reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/4150-simple-zoom-shader ?
By the way thank you for your work. Great stuff.

@iMAG @Faustus86 To elaborate on Duran.te's answer: With the ReShade GUI open, all you have to do is to right-click on the shader .fx of your choice. You'll see a Toggle Key field. Click on it, then tap on the button you wish to assign to toggle that shader. It works precisely the way you want it to. Multiple shaders can share the same Toggle Key, especially useful if you have a stack of shaders you only use for screenshotting etc. You can do inverse toggling too, with one shader activated and the other deactivated, giving them the same toggle key will make ReShade turn shader A off while turning shader B on, vice versa. It's a function that's been in ReShade for very long.

Indeed, maybe my reply was too brief.

Add to this depth, possibility to select place on the screen considered as a light source and Marty's ray tracing for GI and shadows and we have a perfect flash light shader
