Possibility of Dynamic Lighting equivalent in Open Rails using ReShade

[The-Technocrat]

I recently came upon a video by a YouTuber by the name of Siddharthan C and he was using ReShade to obtain a Dynamic Lighting effect in Open Rails for night time. He hasn't shared the settings but I am wondering if anyone has any idea what they could be? And which Reshade exactly? I am trying to speculate but have got nothing so far unfortunately. Any ideas from you guys?

Here is the video link - https://youtu.be/V7yXYtRT-30?si=MiTtw4OAw9i8cSdH

If that is true, I haven't stumbled upon the definition or combo of settings that provides that effect. I as well would love to know.

It is the only video showcasing this ability. A big mystery for us which needs to be solved as it would transform Open Rails gameplay, at least temporarily.

I quite enjoy running trains at night, and have come up with some decent night settings in reshade. Taking that lighting to the next level would be huge, and I also wonder how that can be parlayed for day running.

[The-Technocrat]

Same! I love running trains at night. There is an air of ' mystery ' to it and I find it better compared to daytime running. I currently do not have a reshade but the possibilities of dynamic lighting are so exciting!

Why not?

Makes all the difference in the world.

Oh, I was just being distracted with editing my consists and playing OR before bothering to install a reshade, that's why lol. 😂. But thanks for the link. This will be useful and maybe I might stumble across a combination where I can get dynamic lighting at Night times.

I just hope that it happens soon.

Well if you find it please share it....

If this is for real .... then there will be a ReShade ini file that was created and could be shared...searching various sites devoted to ReShade will turn up files made for other train simulations...these can be adapted to OR.

[The-Technocrat]

Of course I will! I just need time to experiment with the settings. (Which has been difficult to get in the past few months).

[The-Technocrat]

Hmm, that is a possibility.

UPDATE

The same YouTuber, had also released this video and in its description, he has mentioned that he is still testing the shaders and he doesn't plan to release them yet. Now, this was posted 8 months ago. If I find some other fake raytracing and/or dynamic lighting reshade videos on YouTube, I will post there links here.

Of course, this is still a temporary solution. I cannot wait for the day when OR comes with in-built dynamic lighting.
