this fixes the terrain LODS, in certain areas it was more obvious or if you entered demo_record 1 and zoomed out you would see the terrain in the distance was a completely different shade of green and was especially more noticeable with atmospherics default saturation. Now terrain in the distance will match the terrain of the preset you select.

you did not read correctly lol.

Great job! I will be using this, thankyou for the credit :)

shouldnt really cost much performance on newer systems but 2gb v-ram probably isn't enough.

This is just a texture mod, thats a shader issue of some sort

you could theoretically mix and match the trees but you could only change each tree type, you wont be able to have the same types with different colours. And there is no such mod that will combine with this to add more density, if thats what you mean by lush.

there are some flowers already in both spring and summer, this mod is final.

Something wrong with your shaders, no idea :(

no idea, feel free to test!

I didnt make a minimap, and unfortunately the transparency cannot be adjusted without manually editing the alpha channels in photoshop.

I really wouldn't recommend using winter with the aliasing on the trees, there was GRAUPEL and INVERNO (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/inverno-fx)

but iirc they require a few mods to be disabled (Not sure which ones, think weather, enhanced shaders and atmos) to work correctly as they are using the parralax shaders from GTR. also quite performance heavy.

basically none of the winter mods have out of the box compatibility with GAMMA if you are looking for something easy to install I can't help.

Because it was made for/with GAMMA in mind, it would require porting the GAMMA UI to vanilla anomaly,including the several mods that are designed to work with it.

sorry but Im done with this pack, this is the final version.

there are flowers and weeds in both summer and spring, however this pack is finished.

In terms of spring being too saturated its entirely dependent on weather mod and weather conditions, the colour of the lighting / time of day, skybox (if your using hippos atmos). you can bring down saturation slightly in reshade or using the games saturation/colour settings. Not looking to add anymore presets and the file size is ridiculously larger than I wanted it to be.

If you are looking for something more vanilla, realistic and less stylized then I recommend this:

Moddb.com

All in the mip maps, theres some sacrifices made with pixel real estate but i think the compromise is worth it some will look blocky in the distance depending on your mip bias setting (i recommend minimum -0.5, max -1.0)

It depends on the map, time of day, colour settings, weather and reshade preset. It is meant to be a more sun-scorched drier summer look, which is why I made the spring preset for those who want something more green.

If your looking for something a little less saturated than spring than check out this Moddb.com

WARNING!: Just to clarify I have removed recommendations for vanilla anomaly, this is because there are a few bugs that I am not currently able to remedy, do not use this with vanilla anomaly as things like the rank/faction identification in the UI will not work, This mod is intended to work with a default GAMMA install only for the foreseeable future.

unfortunately not, no longer support for vanilla anomaly at this time. This mod requires GAMMA. apologies for inconvenience.

there's no mods offering what I have planned currently but I will wait and see if I can accomplish the task :)

definitely they are, lifestorock was doing the painstaking work of fixing up the mipmaps on dead trees but they were never released.

I might take a look at them at a later point but id really like to move on to adding some new weapons before I come back to this or my UI mod.

I assume you meant he 'shimmer' that occurs with the aliasing on the dead trees you suggested,

tl;dr, vanilla stuff im not going to bother with.

Long explanation:

if you are using any other preset than winter then these specific trees along with a few others are default anomaly textures and have not been changed as seen in these screenshots, this is a vanilla issue with those dead trees. if you are using winter preset the tree's have the same problem as they are duplicates of the corresponding vanilla dead tree textures (I did not make the dead tree's in the winter preset, these were from fabio contes winter mod that most likely borrowed them from simple autumn redux). This is three issues being compounded, i.e. stalker doesn't seem to handle aliasing/rendering well without anti-aliasing and even then, still rubbish, secondly the dead textures edges are quite thin and wirey as opposed to the fuller live trees and thirdly the mip-maps of the vanilla dead tree's are awful and distorted making things even worse.

This was somewhat remedied with the grass considerably by hand editing all the mipmaps, however as the vast majority of the live trees are at a much more acceptable level of aliasing (at least at my native resolution of 1440p) this was more or less a final update, version 3 was supposed to be the last, at least in the forseeable future I do not intend to go back and hand edit every mip map for every tree texture for all 4 variants, nor clean up vanilla anomaly texture issues.

three easy ways to mitigate this would to be replace the dead trees alltogether by copy pasting and renaming the corresponding live trees, or dropping the
mip bias slider to the left (tf_mip_bias 0.5) however this may be unacceptable to many due to a drastic decrease in texture quality overall.
and definitely dont use the winter trees, I dont, these are there for people who absolutely have to have a dead look.

yes but it will just overwrite the existing cryptominer that comes in my grass tweaks with gamma.

no, the HUD isn't compatible with the BHS grok did for vanilla anomaly, it requires GAMMA, the UI is as long as your using the required mods however.

1920 x 1600 is not 16:9, 16:9 is 1920 x 1080, to fix the hunger thirst sleep bar go to MCM > Better Stats and select GAMMA UI compatiblity.

IF your not using MCM/Better stat bars, use this Moddb.com

Added some screenshots of 3 of the UI variants and some of the HUD's to the description, cheers.

my apologies for any inconvenience but I had wrongly assumed that the BHS by Grok used here was identical to the one used in Grok's GAMMA as this was originally developed for GAMMA but they are considerably different. The UI works fine however. The description has been updated to reflect this.

thankyou stalker

there in fabio.conte's google drive I linked in the description.

probably not, people can make it if they like

Enhanced shaders mod and screen space shaders mod are good places to start, as well as hippobots atmospherics which I have listed in the description.
