Mapbase modifies some of the game’s post-processing capabilities, mainly through additional features. Some of these involve changes to the shaders.


L4D post-processing and DOF control

Mapbase adds support for postprocess_controller and env_dof_controller, which include special post-processing effects introduced in Left 4 Dead. Mapbase used Momentum’s public repo as a guide for porting the involved code from the Alien Swarm SDK.


📋 Todo: Color correction changes (exclusion mask + ASW changes), new chromatic aberration effect
