I'm posting this here share a means of loading external post-processing shader libraries (i.e. SweetFX, FXAA Injector, InjectSMAA) while ONLY using the enbseries d3d9.dll -- NO PROXY LIBRARIES REQUIRED. Any number of post-processing shaders can be chained together for simultaneous use in ONE EFFECT.TXT FILE
All of the shaders from these other shader suites are post-processing shaders (i.e. applied to the flattened game image) and can be ported for native use with ENBseries through an effect.txt file. A Nexus user named Xorchan once helped me out by creating a modular effect framework to facilitate loading additional post-processing shaders along with ENB's internal shaders without requiring any additional .dll libraries --ONLY ENB's d3d9.dll.
Please find attached Xorchan's ENB Shader Framework, along with a number of sample shaders in effect.txt format. Install all the files in your Skyrim root folder, and then choose one of the effect.txt files from the 'Optional Effect Add-Ons' folder and copy it to your Skyrim root folder. Note the following:
- The shader are now 'modular'. In your root folder are 'common.fxh' and 'technique.fxh' files that contain elements that are COMMON to all shaders.
- The unique shader code is found in individual .fxh files found within the 'data > shaders' folder
- The effect.txt files now simply include the control variables, and an 'include' command to indicate which 'shaders' file should be referenced.
- The contents of the various effect.txt files can be 'stacked' within one effect.txt file if desired, just copy the corresponding variables and include command from any other shader into one file.
- A good one to try first is the FXAA Shader Suite effect.txt file; you can see how all of the FXAA Injector variables can be easily set in the effect.txt file.
Now, please also note that I have no training in HLSL or anything, I've just learned a bit by examining code and looking at the structure of documents and commands etc. So perhaps this could be further improved upon? Feel free to use/redistribute as you see fit. It should be fairly easy for folks familiar with HLSL to port the shaders from other suites (i.e. SweetFX, InjectSMAA) to this framework...
P.S. It should go without saying, but you must have an ENBseries d3d9.dll installed for any of this to work (not included with this download). Hopefully the current Skyrim ENB binaries still load effect.txt files, I'm not 100% sure. That being said, this framework should also work fine for Fallout and possibly some other recent ENB releases for other games.
