Shaders

[Dozaj]

Since the first shader is implementing in Factorio, my idea is:
Motion blur on fast moving objects, like robots, fast inserters. Maybe in the whole game but it can look shabby but I believe we can work it out.
And I think there should be a way to implement our shaders into this game. Not like sweetfx or something but with a proper shader code interface. In a way like this we can write down some shader mod for this game.

"Edit"

Motion blur won't be a great idea I guess. But moddable shaders would be great. Thank you for your comments.

Moddable shaders would be great, imagine all the possibilities! Monster poison that affects your vision, different vision enhancers, ...

But motion blur? I personally hate blurs of all kinds (and I'm not alone with this). Instead I would love to see a framerate unlock to be able to use the blur-reduction features of my monitor. Then I could actually see something when I ride a fast train.

The literal first thing I do in any game I launch is disable motion blur. It's an abomination of a "feature" designed to hide bad rendering and low resolution.

high end graphics card ☑
high end low latency 144hz monitor ☑
enable motion blur to simulate cheap monitor ☑

if you want motion blur, just use a crappy monitor like mine.

This. A hundred times this!

Screw motion-blur, I'd like to port my EGA Palette With Dithering shader for Media Player Classic over to Factorio for a nostalgia trip.

You can already edit the shaders to get very cheap nightvision

Code: Select all

void main()
{
  vec2 uv = gl_TexCoord[0].xy;
  vec4 color = texture2D(gameview, uv);
  gl_FragColor = color;
  return;
}
