Special K v 0.11.0.47 - New "Widget Flash" Mode

Development Version History
#1

Special K v 0.11.0.47

 + Fixed Missing +/- N.M Frames stat in the Framepacing Widget
 + Fixed DXGI Budget Tracking Thread (VRAM stats) if [API.Hook] d3d12=true
 + Fixed Ys8 when HDR is enabled and game attempts to go Fullscreen Exclusive

 + Add a new "Widget Flash" keybind that briefly shows and then hides a widget

     >> All widgets have a binding for this feature and a configurable duration.

 + Do not HDR remaster MSAA RenderTargets

     >> MSAA Resolve is complicated if the source format has been changed by SK,
          it is not impossible, but more work than I have time for right now.

hey what`s the format now to add games to the whitelist? name.exe? or directory?

#4

Either would work.

#5

Funny that people are clicking the source code link… maybe they’re not aware that’s what that link is? Or maybe all of a sudden the community gained a lot of programmers? :slight_smile:

:revolving_hearts:
The day I find another developer who wants to contribute to the project :heart_decoration:

#6

I’d like to help but from looking through the code I feel kind of out of place there. Windows wise I have only done a bit mfc here and there and that’s it (enough to get headaches just by looking at the c interface Microsoft APIs have) and like no experience in directx or 3d development. :slightly_frowning_face:

If you’ve got some small things which are more general c++ right now to get into that you could point me there and I can have a look. Though I can understand if that would actually make more work for you than help you in that regard, considering most things seem to be more specialized engine issues I would guess.

#7

Yeah, that’s precisely my point here :slight_smile: I am well aware that I am one of few people who can do the really technical stuff. I have put my blood sweat and tears into that, while neglecting general polish that might make things easier for normal users :stuck_out_tongue:

:arrow_up_small::arrow_up_small::arrow_up_small: THAT is what I would most appreciate, developers interested in rounding things out so they’re easier to use.

#8

Do not HDR remaster MSAA RenderTargets

Does that mean we should disable MSAA for the best HDR quality?

#9

Got any specific issues here on your mind where you just don’t have the time to get to? I usually find it easier to poke around in code with a goal to work to.

#10

I have always pictured the widget system as being the place anyone interested in contributing could really cut their teeth and have fun producing a little in-game toy and simultaneously identify any problems in the design.

Widgets are probably the most design-modeled part of the entire software. Everything else is a haphazard mess of features that I needed for one game or another and never spent any time thinking about :stuck_out_tongue:

Even though I have these floating widgets, I’ve never had time to continue fleshing stuff out to, for example, build a log viewer / text editor, command console, customizable OSD text. Those are the sorts of things ReShade has that make it easier to work with. I get too hung up on low-level graphics engine stuff to ever get started on that kind of thing.

SK has all the internal components to build a better command console, it has a text processor with variables and commands and stuff… but I just never got around to making something out of that using ImGui :slight_smile: Instead, there’s a ghetto command line you can open with Ctrl + Shift + Tab that can print 3 lines of text to the OSD.

#11

How do I clear bindings without diggin into the ini file?

#12

Currently, there is no way… I’ll add it to a todo list. I suppose not a lot of key bindings need “Escape?” Maybe I’ll just use that key to close the keybind editor and clear the binding? That, or maybe right click? I think right-click-to-clear sounds great on paper but implementing it will probably be a nuisance.

#13
#14

I vote for Escape as the clear binding command. I was trying that first anyways and of course it bound it :wink:

#15

Done :slight_smile:

The keybinding UI needs some polish, frankly. It gets confusing when editing an existing keybind and there’s already a letter on screen… I don’t know how to make it more intuitive given the primitive tools I have.
