Does anyone know if it's possible in Reshade to have effects, like on different entities?
So say a black and white filter on one entity, a cartoon filter on another entity etc?

No. ReShade is a post processing shader, meaning it is only applied to the whole screen after it's been rendered by Game Guru. It can't be applied to specific items within a scene. Do you have a picture of the kind of look you're going for?

For each entity you want to apply an effect to requires a separate .FX file which would be referenced in the .FPE file.

@AE- here is a screenshot of my game as it is is at the minute. I've basically just copied and converted all the textures to black and white, leaving a few entities in colour for effect, like blood.
I was hoping there would be an easier way than converting every texture 1 by 1, but I thats the way I'm gonna have to do it if I want splashes of colour in there.

@BotR- So it is possible to have ReShade on, but have certain entities unaffected by ReShade?
Or you mean just re-texture the entities I wanted changing?

No

Ah, cheers Wolf. Doing it all by hand it is then. Why should my game making life be any different to my love life

You could tweak the entity shader to remove the colour from the textures. In this way you are just updating the fpe of the entities you want to be black and white and can leave the textures alone (adding a version of the entity shader that grey scales the texture colour). You could even have a dynamic version that switches between black and white and the original texture via a lua switch as long as you were to happy to coerce one of the existing commands (as the user defined shader variabless is way down the voting list). Slight problem is that this shader work would have to be redone after the dx11 update.

EDIT. It does look like you are doing a sin city style effect as Wolf mentioned. This effect can be done with post processing as it essentially removes colour from everything on the screen except for pixels above a certain threshold of red. It can be quite effective especially if you also colour those entities or parts of entities that you definitely want to stand out in consistent red.

Cheers.

But seriously though, ReShade acts like a filter for screenshots, it never acts directly on anything in-game, just on the full frames rendered by GG. You will have more control doing it by hand, but it will take longer unfortunately.

Quickly added a few lines to the shader for you in case you want to go the fpe route.

Put the attached in your effectbank\reloaded folder and update any fpe's of entities you want to be black & white with this line:



In fact copy the fpe and the .bmp files for those entities you want a blank and white version of, rename them with a suffix say BW and update the 'BW' fpe file to have the line above. Then you can easily have a black and white and colour version of the same entity using the same texture and mesh.

A two minute tweak and just a quick test though seems ok:



Cheers.

Awesome, thanks for the advice guys.
And Cybernescence, thats great, it'll prove super useful

If im not mistaken, there is a Sin City shader affect in reshade which turns everything black and white except for red

Thank you cybernescence.
