Well I ended up doing couple of things to fake this, set some values to 0 like curvature,scanlines intensity and set an empty/transparent image for the phosphor texture mask.
Still I have to restart the room before some changes apply (like the curvature) but kind of makes the trick. If there's a better way to toggle on/off the shader please let me know.
Whenever you change any of the CRT object's settings at runtime, you'll need to have it call the function "update_uniforms()" to see the changes reflected in-game.
To disable the effect at runtime, If deleting the CRT object causes issues, you could also choose to disable it by setting its "shader" variable to shd_raw. This shader is more or less a passthrough shader that only handles aspect ratio and optionally curvature (which you could disable for a raw pixel art look).
I was excited to try this but I'm running into some issues.
The description mentions documentation and an example project, but the only file I see for download is the yymps. Where are they?
In addition, when I try to import the yymps, GameMaker freezes and stops responding to input. That might just be a problem on my end because I'm not currently on the latest version of GM, I'm a bit behind on updates. Could that cause a crash on import or is something off with the itch download?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: The game version was the culprit and I see the documentation and example inside the yymps :)
Awesome shader ! I was thinking about using something alike and found yours, probably a bit overpowered for my humble game, but couldn't resist to use it. Thank you !
Sorry if doesnt look actually good in my game (I've not a "trained sight" for CRT art, or art at all, but the curvature effect is something I wanted to have)

Hi, sorry is there a way to turn off/on the shader within the game by code ?
I tried destroying the instance and doing shader_reset() but get a black screen only, semes other things need to be reset.

Hello,
Thank you for trying my asset!

I hope this helps!
Thank you !! will give it a try !

I used a diff preset, it looks a bit better, thanks again !
Got this on the marketplace. It’s the best GMS crt shader I’ve used for sure!
