Generic Transparency Shaders and more!
This mod has been in development for a few months now, as I've fought with all kinds of issues to see it come to life. I really hope that everyone will enjoy it as much as I do.
I have included some examples and a brief description, hopefully y'all will be able to get started with it quickly. I made this mod so that it would be fast and easy to use. Anyone familiar with texturing and other utility mods like the trackers and fixes should be able to use this mod.
Extract the contents of TexFx.zip (TexFx-Main) into your GIMI Mods folder. That's it!
Please do not try and place this in ShaderFixes, it will not work. Remember, this is a dependency, and doesn't do much without mods that enable it, like my example mods.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me here in the comments or on the AGMG discord server.
If you have any contributions or issues, feel free to post to the github.
Here is the quick guide (Updated Instructions since first post):
; Better transparency and other Texture controlled effects ; Example: [TextureOverrideHead] hash = 1234abcd match_first_index = 0 ib = ResourceIB ps-t0 = ResourceHeadDiffuse ps-t1 = ResourceHeadLightMap ps-t69 = ResourceTransparencyMap ; Jan 4th, ORFix patch, use latest from ; https://github.com/LeoTorreZ/LeoTools run = CommandList\global\ORFix\ORFix run = CommandList\TexFx\Transparency.1 ; \Transparency.0 (2.9-) Part has no Normal Map ; \Transparency.1 (3.0+) Part has a Normal Map
The texture must be Red and Black to indicate where the transparency will be, more red is more transparent. Check the examples for a better look. (Notice the included image on the post). If you want to make mods using this tool, please do not redistribute this mod, you can include the BufferValues folder in your mod to notify new users where to get this mod.
My GitHub will have any changes or updates before anywhere else.

This mod is compatible with most mods, but other mods that affect shaders may have issues.
SilentNightSound's Remove Transparency Filter Is 100% incompatible with this mod, but don't worry, I've re-added it to this mod.
Jan 4th: Now compatible with ORFix - Outline and Reflections Fix make sure to grab the latest version, as this was a fix on their side.
Users are reporting crashes, but so far I have been unable to recreate them. There is also some glitchy behavior where characters won't look correct in the Party setup. If you have any issues, please give me lots of information, even something like the kind of Graphics card you have can have an impact. I have a limited ability to test, so I can't ensure stability on many systems yet. This is still a very early version.
This mod enables Shader Caching by default in the Main.ini, this may occasionally cause shader mods to not reload, but it greatly improves performance when re-loading. Set it to 0 to disable.
;Increases Performance and Reduces Load Times. [Rendering] cache_shaders=1
Look forward to more effects besides just transparency in the future. Including animated effects, glowing effects, and more! If you want to help me get these done faster, consider buying me a coffee so I can slave away a few more months on this haha.
