Ambient Occlusion/Ambient Light Turns Color of Focused Light

[M1dnight-ofcl]

Bug Description

So, whenever I look at a block with a glow, it will change all the ambient occlusion or ambient light to the color as well. I can provide an export of my settings, but whenever I look at the block it will do this. When I look away it won't. This is one of my only flaws with these shaders.

Describe how to reproduce the bug

You can reproduce it by writing this to a .txt and loading it as shaders settings:

If this also helps, I'm using Sodium 6.0 Beta 2, Indium 1.0.35, Iris 1.8.0, Sodium Extra 0.6.0 Beta 3, Bobby 5.2.4 Beta 3, and Distant Horizons 2.2.1

Demonstration

This may be a feature for all I know that I js have to disable. Please help

set GI_Strength back to default (1.0). in hindsight i shouldnt have made this setting lol.
the SSGI works sampling the previous frames color to get the color is should be for casted/bounced light in the scene, it includes the completed lighting in it so it works good. however, the SSGI is also in the previous frames scene, so it can go into a feedback loop and make itself get brighter and brighter with each frame if SSGI color is brighter than normal

[M1dnight-ofcl]

Thank you! I thought that it GI Strength would js overall make the illumination brighter. I didn't know it would do that lol

[M1dnight-ofcl]

I js tested it. It's still there, but not as strong

[M1dnight-ofcl]

It also likes to illuminate areas that should be dark. I'll try resetting to default settings to see if its js me

[M1dnight-ofcl]

Even with the reset, this seems like an SSGI problem, since it doesn't occur with SSAO

[M1dnight-ofcl]

Seems like an SSGI Error. Switched to RTAO and it's completely gone.

rtao has no bounced light so yeah. i dont recommend SSGI anyway, its terrible and noisy as hell. its mostly there for screenshotters
