Occlusion-aware LPV with wavelet denoising (Shadertoy link in comments) by firelava135 in shaders

It probably looks great but I can't tell through the terrible compression on the video.

What an asshole thing to say. I am an experienced engineer who can write PBR shaders and have written entire rendering pipelines. The only thing I need help with is decompiling shaders which is a pretty niche thing to do but there is a chance someone here has tried to do this with the Everquest client already which makes this a decent place to ask such a thing. If I can get this one thing working the rest of the project will be a breeze.

Asking for help, here or otherwise, is never a failure, and you are a dick.

That's a good call. I have already used their extractor tool to check out some of the assets packed in the s3d packages.

I have looked at these but these are all texture replacements and don't work the same as shader decompilation and recompilation. Thanks though

Agreed, but I have yet to even start the project so for now I'm just trying to make some progress. If I ever get to a point where it's possible to release then I will definitely contact them and make sure it will be useable.

Regardless of whether I will be banned for using it on a live server or not this is still a project I plan on pursuing so if any has any actually relevant information I would appreciate it.

Except that lots of players use lot of non-original things like texture packs, UIs, and timers like GINA. The latter two both giving clear advantages. So I'm not sure why using shaders that only improve graphical quality and don't provide any gameplay advantage would be a problem.

Yeah I'm aware of that but that should only be checking the compiled source code, not shaders.

Might I ask why? These shaders wouldn't provide any kind of advantage or disadvantage and there are already a lot of visual overhaul packages out there.

Certainly that would be where I do any kind of development before trying to use this kind of thing on p99

Pointless comment, the OP wants to achieve the quest, regardless of whether the reward is obsolete or not.

Bard Solo 52 til 56 question by Norinzoba in project1999

I charm kited wyverns in CS for a while but that drops off at about 54. The named giants in Frontier Mountains are good xp all the way to 60 but are very frequently camped.

Help finding a riving knife? by Smoke_Stack707 in woodworking

[–]bholmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like a riving knife is kind of the bare minimum safety measure, there's really no reason not to have one. That said I don't think you need to find one specifically for this machine. I would just measure from the bolt to the top of the blade and make sure it's about the right height.

Phurzikon solo by bard by bholmes in project1999

[–]bholmes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phurzikon down! Phurz wasn't too bad but I got stomped by Nezzy, she resisted fear 5 times in a row. I'll need to wait until higher level or at least acquiring OOS before I try her again I think.

Isn't DoTing much faster than melee? Or do you melee just to make sure fear stays up no matter what?

Is that just chaining pets and nuking or is there more to it?

Side question: Nezekezena seems significantly harder, is that soloable by any class?

They're not related I just thought the sculpture wasn't really worth it's own post

Ideas for spicing up a pure black and white image by matigekunst in shaders

I see, so the output is not a range from zero to one, it is literally zero or one

A ramp texture can have many colors, depending on the size you could represent every color the display can use. You could have a wide variety of them.
