  • Ripper for shaders or how fix them

    No documentation, I got no clue if this one is working. Unity has a crosscompiler https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/HLSLcc, or you can also read this write-up and try out SlimShader (http://timjones.io/blog/archive/2015/09/02/parsing-direct3d-shader-bytecode).
  • So I got Outer Wilds working with OpenGL... kind of (disorientation warning, more details in comments)
    2 projects | /r/outerwilds | 22 Jan 2021
    Using the libraries AssetsTools.NET and uTinyRipper to deal with Unity asset bundles and HLSLcc and its wrapper HLSLccWrapper to convert the shaders themselves, I created a working prototype called GraphicsAdder that takes a Windows Steam installation of Outer Wilds and produces copies of its files that work with both Direct3D and OpenGL. By adding some flags to Launch Options in Properties, you can switch between the two at launch!
