Polls the current map id from Guild Wars 2 using the Mumble Link API and writes it to a small header file.
If given no command-line arguments, the file will be called gw2map.h. It looks
like this:
#define GW2MapId 28
#define GW2TOD 3
#define GW2Active 1
#define TimeZone 3600
GW2TOD is the time-of-day ingame (0-3 are Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Night), derived
from your system clock.
GW2Active is 0 if the game is not running, in the character select screen or a
loading screen, and 1 otherwise. It will only turn to 0 after a delay
(ActivityTimeoutMs in GW2ReshadeMap.cs), but might help prevent overbloomed
login screens, for example.
TimeZone is your time zone and daylight savings time in seconds of offset from
UTC. It is useful to make presets that change smoothly with in-game time, as
opposed to presets that use GW2TOD above, which change suddenly and cause
short game freezes as the change happens. Because of this, use of a macro like
GW2DayNight is heavily recommended in favour of using GW2TOD. See the
GW2DayNight
macro, used in my simple
Subtle Days, Immersive Nights
MasterEffect preset for an example.
Double-click build.bat. If the window instantly dissapears, that means
everything went went well and you should have GW2ReshadeMap.exe in the same
folder.
Or from the command line:
csc GW2ReshadeMap.cs
Easiest is to drop GW2ReshadeMap.exe into the directory you keep ReShade.fx
(or MasterEffect.h, if you're using that), and keep it running whenever you're
playing. It might need to "run as Administrator" to be able to modify its
file. You can avoid that by creating the file (gw2map.h) yourself, and then
assigning your user permission to change it.
In your Reshade preset, simply include the file:
#include "gw2map.h"
###I want to start GW2ReshadeMap automatically
Change your Guild Wars 2 shortcut to point to GW2ReshadeMap.exe, and add
/launch ..\Gw2.exe to the program arguments (adjust the path ..\Gw2.exe as
appropriate if you are not keeping GW2ReshadeMap.exe in the bin folder, it
should lead to Gw2.exe). If you already have arguments for Gw2.exe, replace
them with /launchargs "your old arguments here", don't omit
the quotes ("").
###Example
For example, say that you are using MasterEffect and would like to turn off the
"Curves" effect when you're in Wayfarer Foothills (id = 28) or Straits of
Devastation (id = 51) and it is either day or dusk, you might insert something
like this at the top of MasterEffect.h to define the value TooBright to be
1 in those circumstances:
/*=================================================================*\
| GW2 CONDITIONALS |
\*=================================================================*/
#include "gw2map.h"
#define TooBright ((GW2MapId == 28 || GW2MapId == 51) \
&& (GW2TOD == 1 || GW2TOD == 2))
If you're unfamiliar with the C preprocessor, note the \ required if you want
to wrap lines staring with # (so called directives) over multiple lines.
And then, in the "ENABLE EFFECTS" section, you use that value to disable Curves when TooBright is 1:
...
#define USE_CURVES !TooBright
...
Or you might simply wish to change its parameters in the "EFFECT PARAMETERS" section:
#if TooBright
# define Curves_contrast 0.90
#else
# define Curves_contrast 0.70
#endif
