A plugin that allows people to use custom shaders without needing to rebuild or extract Starfield's BA2 shader package. Live shader updates are also supported for easy debugging at runtime.

• CMake and vcpkg are expected to be set up beforehand. Visual Studio 2022 is recommended.
• <configure_preset> is asiloader or sfse.
• <build_preset> is asiloader-release, asiloader-debug, sfse-release, or sfse-debug.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Nukem9/sf-shader-injector.git
cmake --preset <configure_preset>
cmake --build --preset <build_preset>

• For developers, edit CMakeUserEnvVars.json and set GAME_ROOT_DIRECTORY to Starfield's root directory. The build script will automatically copy library files to the game folder.

• For manual SFSE (Steam) installs, place SFShaderInjector.dll in the corresponding Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins folder. An example path is: C:\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins\SFShaderInjector.dll

• For manual ASI loader (Game Pass) installs, place SFShaderInjector.asi in the game root directory next to Starfield.exe. An example path is: C:\XboxGames\Starfield\Content\SFShaderInjector.asi

• Shaders must be installed under the Data\shadersfx folder in Starfield's root directory.

• A Steam edition path looks like this: C:\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\shadersfx\ColorGradingMerge\ColorGradingMerge_FF81_cs.bin

• A Game Pass edition path looks like this: C:\XboxGames\Starfield\Content\Data\shadersfx\ColorGradingMerge\ColorGradingMerge_FF81_cs.bin

• No license provided. TBD.
• Dependencies are under their respective licenses.
