A shader that's in multiple 'branches' is been duplicated, making maintaining that code harder. There's a problem with that: duplication of files. But I prefer to have some community feedback, before actually implementing it. Download required shaders as specified in a preset from GitHub on-demandĬrosire wrote: I'd like to propose a concept on how shaders and presets could be managed in ReShade 3.0, which I think would be very benefitial for both users and developers.Presets stored in INI with branch name + commit hash + variable values.Multiple branches with different shader collections to prevent messy blob (as it is currently).So it's easier to take one oút of context and put it somewhere else. Optional: Encoded texture data of stuff like LUT textures?Īlso.Git commit hash from when the download occurred (to make sure each user of the preset has the exact same set of files).Git branch, to specify which shaders are used.Those preset files can then be easily shared, uploaded/downloaded and selected in ReShade. The user is allowed to change various variables those shaders expose and save the preset, which is essentially stored in a simple INI file containing the following data.

Those will then be downloaded from GitHub and loaded into the game. If latter option is chosen, he/she can select one of the Git branches as the collection of shader he/she wants to use and configure. Now when booting a game ReShade was installed to (only the DLL, the main download shouldn't contain anything else), ReShade's in-game UI will pop up, allowing the user to select an existing preset or create a new one. As an example: an 'everything' branch, a 'ssao-and-tonemapping' branch, etc., each designed for a specific task and only containing the files needed for that. But to keep it from becoming a huge blob of stuff like it is now, it should be split up into multiple Git branches. The GitHub repository is used as main distributor for all shaders. I'd like to propose a concept on how shaders and presets could be managed in ReShade 3.0, which I think would be very benefitial for both users and developers.
