I'm surprised Frictional hasn't replied here yet, by the way.

I'll try tonight.

Still getting dark surfaces.

Since there is no error string from compiler it is difficult to find the problem.
The only advice is to check misspelling.
RayLinearIntersectionSM2(aHeightMap, vHeightMapPos, vEyeVec);
should be called, not
RayLinearIntersectionSM3(aHeightMap, vHeightMapPos, vEyeVec);
Here is my file:

you can try it.

I'll let you know.

That worked. Thanks. Must have typo'd something..................

Looks good, btw!

Can all the necessary changes needed to take advantage of this be explained clearly in one post? I'm reading through all of it and I'm getting a little confused as to what lines of which files I am supposed to edit.

Okay , listen up :

2 FILES NEED TO BE EDIT in order to let this work smoothly !!


The file that must be edit is (open with notepad) in :

USERNAME-DOCUMENTS-AMNESIA-MAIN-main_settings

you have to change parallax quality to 1 instead of the standard 0.

the other file (for smooth gameplay without lag) is in :

Partition where you installed the game (in my case E) -Amnesia-The Dark Descent-redist-core-shaders- deferred_gbuffer_solid_frag.glsl.

(again) open with notepad ...

use search function to find line :


RayLinearIntersectionSM3(aHeightMap, fSteps, vHeightMapPos, vEyeVec);

and CHANGE IT TO :

RayLinearIntersectionSM2(aHeightMap, vHeightMapPos, vEyeVec);

That"s all ...
