Sildur's Enhanced WAR Shaders v6.0: DX11, DX12, OpenGL, Vulkan (January 31, 2023)

[Sildur]

Did you ever figure out depth buffer access sildur? That thread on reddit still seems dead, and playing around with the ddl that got posted in his thread I couldn't really get it working either.

Nope couldn't get it to work, sadly.

I`ve found the way to turn on lightmaps without white npc glitch while still using shaders (in my case its Reshade 2.0).
It turns out that if you are able to change API used by SweetFX from d3d9.dll to opengl.32.dll it would work:)
Some samples of end effects:

Holy **** crap these look amazing ! Gonna try it out asap

EDIT: Actually would you have a simple walkthrough for it ? I like the preset you got on reshade but there's a lot of options and i'm a bit lost

Gonna check that and update the package accordingly. Weird that the game loads opengl files while using dx9 as a renderer.

if you would update the instructions and show us how to use it, that would be awesome

Not sure what he was doing. But as I thought. The game doesn't load the opengl32 file on it's own. Because it uses directx9 as it's renderer.

However I modded the game files to load my own .dll and it's working with lightmaps!

What i basically did was creating profile for War.exe in Reshade Assistant, and there was an option to choose API to be used for that file, among d3d8, d3d9, d3d11, dxgi and opengl i picked opengl and Reshade inserted opengl32.dll and ReShade.fx files in game directory. Before using any shaders I turned on lightmaps ingame and voila! - it worked in combo, lightmaps and Reshade. (there is no d3d9.dll or any other dll file in game directory).
I hope that will help.

Tried using the newest reshade 2.0 assistant to do what you said, but reshade won't start with warhammer if I'm using opengl.

Are you sure you restarted the game after selecting lightmaps? They only work after restarting the game. Guess the new reshade injector works better.

Anyways I got it working by modifying one of the game files to load my .dll from ReShade. It looks like this glitch only happens if the WAR.exe directly loads the .dll file.

Will release a new version based on ReShade, with working lightmaps soon.

I did that but changes do not seem to take effect in game (even tho I get no error as well)

In any case, Sildur's update should solve it.

Most of all, I really liked your presets and how you made the game look, so I was mostly curious about the settings you had ^^
