I've tried using Complementary shaders and Complementary fork but they don't seem to work on the lods, any idea why?
Forge and optifine
(I use mods but even when i remove them nothing changes)

Game displays an error when using Iris with the DH support selected (1.7.0-snapshot+mc1.20.4-5983468) with the Complementary fork.

Error says the pack doesn't support DH and then it blocks the LOD chunks from displaying.

Hello, is there a compatibility version for Oculus 1.18.2? DH works smoothly when disabling the shaders, but nothing is displayed with them

@Steveplays28

Hi @Hirune30, I don't think there is. You'd have to cherrypick the changes to the 1.18.2 branch yourself and make it work.

@Steveplays28

Author

Hi @derram, you need to downgrade to release Iris (<=v1.6.17) to use any shaderpack with legacy DH support.

@Steveplays28

Hi @Iceninni, I'm not sure why that's happening, I can't access your upload.
Try searching through the DH Discord server, and/or asking for help in the help forum.

@Iceninni

@Steveplays28 I'll try to send new pictures and see if that works but I've also started to experience a bug where all shadows on the ground from the shader gets "burned" into the camera. (Not actually burned but it stays there until i exit the world) (Also that might be one of the incompatibilities you mentioned before idk)

  • Complementary Fork doesn't work

With the Complementary fork, the tall grass and I guess all semi-transparent blocks let me see through them down to the skybox and even underground caves

@Iceninni Not sure why that is, haven't had that happen.

Hi @NatoBoram, the Complementary fork is known to work, so that's most likely an issue with your setup/modpack.
And the leaves/transparency issues is a known issue.

Hi, @Steveplays28 is there a way to fix the ambient occlusion of the lods with shaders? (the shadow effect of distant blocks to make depth), i use complementary fork, the oculus forge fork of taqed for 1.19.2, and the distant horizons shadow fix. here i put screenshot comparison of the problem. Thanks :D

Hi @Baffero, not at the moment. Best you can do with release Iris is set DH LOD shading to Old Lighting.
Otherwise see the Iris Discord server for an in-dev version of Iris (v1.7.0) with DH support v2, and Emin's Patreon for an in-dev version of Complementary that's compatible with it, but be aware that no support will be provided for setting it up.

I will add that to the list once everything's released as stable.

@Lucasbigbox i think you have to disable the near fog from the mod and disable the vanilla fog too, explore the terrain to render the lods

@Enterprise12nx01 There used to be a download link but since it pointed to Discord it expired after the recent CDN changes.
@Baffero I'd much prefer listing build steps in the document, would appreciate if you could write that out for those who want them, and I'll link to it in the Gist.

@Jonhline Hi, for OptiFine issues please make a post on the support forum in the Distant Horizons Discord server.

@Lucasbigbox You need to use the fork of Complementary for blending. It also disables the border fog if DH Compat is enabled in the shaderpack's settings.

Hello @Steveplays28 wondering if there is a fix for this almost artifacting issue that happens frequently with BSL. Clean install with no modifications other than turning on BSL. Only happens when fps is allowed higher than 60. Thanks!

Hi, @Steveplays28. When I use DrDestens Shader, the LOD chunks turn white as shown in the image. Is there a possible fix on the client side?
So far, I have tried useing Old Lighting and disabling Ambience Occlusion with no change.
Here are the mods I'm using:

Name Version
Minecraft 1.19.2
Forge 43.3.9
Oculus 1.6.9(Teqed's fork)
DH 2.0.2-a(nightly build)

@Lenatus hi, you could try turning down the brightness of the LODs in DH's config.
If that doesn't help you'd have to modify the shaderpack.

Hey o/
Could you put the info that this is for legacy support on the README so it is the first thing people see when they visit your fork? We have been getting bug reports on the Complementary discord regarding your fork even though Emin already made a DH-compatible version with the new iris 1.7 system.

Hi @SpacEagle17, I added that info to the readme, description, and PR of the fork.
I also closed the PR.

Is that looking alright?
Also, do you want me to add a note to Complementary's section on this Gist as well?

Thank you very much for doing this! Also, this was much quicker than expected :)
It's looking alright, thanks for the work you put into this before a propper way of doing it existed!
Sure, why not also add it to the gist part. Very Appreciated <3
Once r5.2 releases I suppose you will again update the README :p

@Steveplays28

Thanks for the kind words, SpacEagle!
I've added it to the Gist for all the listed shaderpacks. Hope that'll clear up the confusion!

Yeah, once r5.2 releases I'll update it. I'll also revise the document layout to add a clear separation between legacy and v2 Iris + DH compat once Iris v1.7.0 is released as stable.

Wonderful results. I'm still getting some artifacting with your edit Rethink Voxels, and the clouds seem to be rendering in front of everything. But I also have a few other performance mods, so it's highly likely something else is borking things:

Borked clouds

I've also ran into the transparency issues, but apparently that's par for the course. You can also see some of the artifacting here, in the skybox.

I didn't find anything about the clouds, so I'll post something here if I find anything.

Hi @Angelin01, the clouds being broken is just a limitation of the legacy Iris + DH compatibility. Same with the transparency issues.
