drahsid / bettershadows Goto Github PK

Hello, im fairly new to github so bear with me.

ive been having this strange shadow bug ever since i started using Better shadows over a month ago.
I had edited some presets but always made a copy. And settled on just using the default presets, but after a while this bug happened out of nowhere and ive just sort of ignored it hoping it would get fixed at some point.

Ive tried reinstalling the plugin and repairing the game through XIVLauncher but the issue persists even when the plugin is uninstalled.
Changing cascading settings to low makes it disappear.
i do use a modded FOV as of recently but this had happened prior.
im at a loss as to whats happened.

More a question than an issue: is BetterShadows able to fix what's going on on/around these chairs? I'm messing with it and not seeing anything change.

Hi!
I wanted to ask, is it possible to somehow solve the problem with portrait FoV (shadows become pixelated)?
Example of what I mean: top image with regular FoV, bottom with portrait FoV:

(maybe these are just just xiv engine things idk)

I would also like to ask if it is possible to add an option to return default presets into plugin,
and make it possible to display it in gpose.

And maybe add 8k shadows option c:

Thank you!

I wanted to submit a potential feature request, mostly to know if it's possible, viable, or you are willing to implement it, for extending the distance the High Parallax Occlusion is rendered.

When System Configuration -> Graphics Settings -> Parallax Occlusion is set to High, the distance the parallax effect and shadows are calculated are extremely close to the camera and can give a undesirable seam across the screen. I assume there is hopefully internal properties for setting the distance of this similarly to the shadows, hence why I have reached out to you. The effect does not appear when using the Normal setting.

Setting:

If this is beyond the mod or your own scope, no worries, just wanted to ask and see!

An option to reset all presets to default would be nice. You could also add a description for each preset in the actual plugin UI.

I have a macro for a pvp mode that disables penumbra textures once toggled. But I can't toggle the better shadows without going into the mod list and turning it off manually. If a command was added like /bshadows toggle, that'd be really useful!

Sometimes, the shadows decide to just become a square (rectangle) and the only way to fix it is to disable/enable the plugin. Any thoughts?
