Replacing 2.32s SSAO shader with 2.31's

[Pancakes]

I would like to be up do date on engine version but I also prefer the 2.31 SSDO. I have tried coping the SSAO.frag, but that hasn't done the trick. Which files do I need to replace in order to place 2.31 SSDO inside of 2.32?

 

thanks

Mmm i wanna do this too, its a shame to see no-one has replied with a solution

maybe no one knows how to do that!

we want to use 2.26 water shader in 2.32 but no one knows!

we want to use 2.31 SSDO in 2.32 but no one knows!

we want to use billboards but no one knows! (maybe some one knows but no one replies!)

bla bla bla .... but know one knows!

i had posted exactly how to do billboards last week but it was lost due to the reversion to a two week old forum... give me a sec and I will repost...

you aren't seeing a difference between the SSDO from 2.31 and the SSAO inside 2.32 because they are both essentially the same file other than some lines that are commented out. From what I can tell the SSAO in 2.32 is the SSDO from 2.31, other than changes to number of raysegments and raylength.

I'd also like to revert back to the old SSDO. Much preferred it as it was.

 

All I did was modify the code that mixes it in, so it isn't as heavy and only appears in darker areas.

[macklebee]

The previous SSAO was hnphan's... and it was used up until the second or so update release of 2.31.

 

It should just require you to swap the files for the SSAO.frag and you should have the same effect as before.

I'm wishing to revert back to the original SSDO, from the current SSDO. Not revert to the old SSAO. Replacing the file didn't appear to work. Josh changed the SSDO recently so it doesn't appear in lit areas.

Can anyone who knows how to do this PM me a modified shaders.pak it seems no matter how I change it it stays the same. Also when I mess around in shader.pak too much it eventually breaks my install.

again...any help here?

 

copying shader files doesn't work
