Option to disable damage overlay 1.12.2

[HuskyTemple]

I really don't like the new damage overlay. For me it is to violent. I would like it to have an option to turn it off. If that is possible that would be great! Thanks.

I'd like to second this suggestion. Blood is not for me, and the sudden red flash is very harsh on sensitive eyes.

[HuskyTemple]

Yes. I have very bad eyes. It also freaks me out when suddenly my screen flashes red without me knowing why.

[DearFox]

I agree, just add the ability to customize this effect. Make it more transparent or disable it altogether.

[Ari]

Any word on this possibility? I think a lot of us really want a way to turn this off. I had hoped to see something about it in the new version notes but I don't see it.

If we keep replying to this will it be noticed faster?

Hey @Tyron

I think it's time for a statement on this topic

people are waiting for a bit over 3 weeks now

[Ari]

I'm bumping this again. Seriously, the overlay is a real problem for me. I'm not asking for it to be removed entirely. I just want a way to turn it off in the options, or mod it out in the jsons. Update after update comes out with loads of notes but no mention of a way to disable this.

Poke it to the toooooop

Any additional options to make the game easier to play from an interface perspective are welcome ones, +1.

[Ari]

I'm going to keep bumping this every time an update comes out without this added. Although at this point I'm not sure if the devs are even looking at this forum, let alone this thread...

[Saraty]

I'm still looking ^.^

[Tyron]

Yea, was a bit tough to look at suggestions until recently, I had to deal with lots of support tickets and major bugs. Here's a way to mod it:

1. Open assets/game/shaders/final.fsh
2. Go to line 143
3. Replace

g = cnoise(vec3(gl_FragCoord.x / 20.0, gl_FragCoord.y / 20.0, 0)) + 0.5;
g += cnoise(vec3(gl_FragCoord.x / 5.0, gl_FragCoord.y / 5.0, 0))/5;

with

g = 0.9;

for a reduced, old style damage overlay effect or with

g = 2;

for no damage overlay.

You can hit ALT+F1 in-game to reload the shader if you want to test different values.

Thanks SOOOOOO much everyone who has supported this topic! I have not been on lately but I am shocked at how many people have replied. Also Tyron thanks so much for posting the fix for this it really helps. 

PS: I love the community this game has. It is very awesome that everyone is very involved, especially you Tyron!
