on GitHub

New Features

• added Deband/Dithering effect
• SMAA settings can be change in the config file
• performance may has improve a little bit since settings are now applied at pipeline creation

Setup changes

Build

• GCC 7 or higher is now required

Shader Directory

The directory all spir-v shaders will be read from can now be in the following locations:

• a directory set with VKBASALT_SHADER_PATH=/path/to/vkBasalt/shader environment variable
• the old shader folder $HOME/.local/share/vkBasalt/shader/ or $XDG_DATA_HOME/vkBasalt/shader/
• /usr/share/vkBasalt/shader
• /usr/local/share/vkBasalt/shader

This should help distribution specific packages.

Config File

The config file will now be searched for in the following locations:

• a file set with the environment variableVKBASALT_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/vkBasalt.conf
• vkBasalt.conf in the working directory of the game
• $XDG_DATA_HOME/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf or ~/.local/share/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf if XDG_DATA_HOME is not set
• /usr/share/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf
• /usr/local/share/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf

Bug fixes

• SMAA should handle sRGB correct
• CAS should now look much better since some typos from the port to glsl have been fixed
