| + | ==== shaders === | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are two kind of shaders, post-process shaders and core shaders. Post-process shaders have their own in-game menu for configuration, core shaders instead are fixed. Shaders, in general, are text files so configuration might be possible editing them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example, core shaders: [[https://github.com/zesterer/openmw-shaders|Zesterer Shaders]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example, post-process shaders: [[https://gitlab.com/glassmancody.info/omwfx-shaders|Glassman Shaders]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Post-process shaders === | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is little to add for the installation of post-process shaders, they work as regular esp-less mods. Unpack the file, add the ''data='' line the ''openmw.cfg'' file. Start the game and press F2 for the configuration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Core shaders === | ||
| + | |||
| + | To install core shaders is more complicated. Core shaders are part of the resource directory and OpenMW understands only one resource directory, so the installation require to copy the default directory, unpack the modded shaders in it and adapt the configuration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Assuming the game starts properly you can easily find the resource directory starting the game, leaving and check the log file. The log file is called ''openmw.log'' and it is saved in the same directory you have your configuration files. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Open the log and look for a line like the following, it should fairly on top around line 10-20. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [00:01:02.003 I] Adding data directory /usr/share/games/openmw/resources/vfs | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''vfs'' is the first data directory and it is inside the resource directory we are looking for. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once found, copy it in your mods directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | $ pwd | ||
| + | /home/username/games/tes_morrowind/mods | ||
| + | $ cp -r /usr/share/games/openmw/resources . | ||
| + | $ ls | ||
| + | [...] | ||
| + | resources | ||
| + | [...] | ||
| + | $ ls resources | ||
| + | defaultfilters lua_api mygui openmw.png shaders version vfs | ||
| + | |||
| + | The core shaders you downloaded will also contain the ''shaders'' directory. Unpack so the shaders directory ends updating the contents. You may need to convert filenames to lowercase, by aware. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally in the configuration file ''openmw.cfg'' add the line | ||
| + | |||
| + | resources="/home/username/games/tes_morrowind/mods/resources" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Let us install Zesterer resource shaders. We download the pack from the [[https://github.com/zesterer/openmw-shaders|website]] and we get the file ''openmw-shaders-main.zip''. Now we unpack as explained: | ||
| + | |||
| + | $ pwd | ||
| + | /home/username/games/tes_morrowind/mods | ||
| + | $ mkdir zesterer | ||
| + | $ cp -r /usr/share/games/openmw/resources ./zesterer | ||
| + | $ mkdir tmp && cd tmp | ||
| + | $ unzip -LL ~/openmw-shaders-main.zip | ||
| + | $ ls | ||
| + | openmw-shaders-main | ||
| + | $ ls openmw-shaders-main | ||
| + | readme.md shaders | ||
| + | $ cp -r openmw-shaders-main/shaders /home/username/games/tes_morrowind/mods/zesterer | ||
| + | $ cd .. && rm -r tmp | ||
| + | |||
| + | We then edit the ''openmw.cfg'' file to add the line ''resources='' | ||
| + | |||
| + | resources=/home/username/games/tes_morrowind/mods/zesterer | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unlike ''data='' rows ''resources='' rows do not merge the contents. So if you have different values, only the one in the bottom counts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to install more core shaders you will need to unpack all in the same resource directory. | ||
