Total Graphics Conversion: PBR Shader for Gate of Hell

---

---

You must launch the game from Shader Modding Support Launcher (SMS Launcher). Otherwise shaders in this mod will not compile properly!

For detailed instructions on how to use SMS launcher, see its workshop page.

Known compatibility issue: If you want to use 《Cold War Alter 1971》 mod, you must delete the "shader" folder from its "gamlogic.pak": For some reason, this mod includes an old version of GOH vanilla shader file, which causes shader files to be scrambled and cannot be compiled properly.

If you like our work, please give this mod a positive rating. We would be grateful! =)

This mod provides PBR (Physically Based Rendering) shader support for Gate of Hell, along with runtime automatic conversion of vanilla non-PBR materials.
This means existing contents will NOT be broken by the change in rendering method; instead, thery will look even better!

• Physically Based Rendering
  
• Automatic Phong to PBR Conversion
  
• Full Emissive Texture Support

Global PBR rendering has been added, meaning any model in the game now renders under PBR.

Specific features supported:

1. Automatic Phong to PBR conversion for vanilla models and textures
   
2. Support for pure PBR textures via MTL changes

Added runtime automatic conversion from Phong (GOH native textures and rendering method) to PBR rendering.
Specific features supported:

1. Automatic runtime conversion of textures without any additional work
   
2. Enhanced automatic conversion support via additional MTL identifiers

Added support for emissive textures. The following features are supported:

1. Specify per-pixel emissive intensity and color via textures
   
2. Supported only in pure PBR texture mode

Check the distribution license for this mod by following the discussion below. It will also be attached as a file in mod folder.
