[1.x.x ] [ReShade] Mediator KSP presets (SweetFX, GemFX, McFX) - Eyecandy!


JayS_NL

Recommended Posts

If you are like me and you want to give KSP that little bit of extra push - to make it look even better - you're in good luck!

PRESENTING:

JayS_NL's custom KSP ReShade presets for KSP


I have struggled to find some up-to-date and nice looking presets for either SweetFX, GemFX, ENB, etc. I'm one of those guys that will take the eyecandy if possible - and run a mod or 60 too.. So i decided to take a look on the web to see if there are any tools to (re)create some custom presets for DLL-injectors like SweetFX. I found a nifty tool called ReShade which runs on .NET. It has a AiO programme called Mediator, which allows you to tweak a dozen settings and effects, to mix/match your favourite looks. And so i did. I made two presets, but the second version is the one i'm currently mostly working on. The first one is more 'movie-like-ish with some bloom on highlights', the second more 'natural' with less bloom and better white/black levels. 

PSA: This mod does not do the graphical overhaul. Most effects and and textures are from other mods. It's a mix/match of @Proot's KSPRC and @Nhawks17's SVE. Do download them! :)

Check a video demonstration of the V2 preset here.

HOW TO INSTALL PRESET

1. Download ReShade and extract it somewhere.
2. Run Mediator.
3. Point Mediator to your KSP.exe and select the right shader-injector (DX11 gives the best results, imo)
4. Click on 'TheLazy.Net' connect and browse through the presets.
5. Find my first presets (V1 and/or V2) and click Download And Use.
6. Save the preset (or give it a new name)
7. Click on Update and then 'Permanent Push To Application'
8. Enjoy!

MUST HAVES, but not necessary for the presets:
- Scatterer
- KSPRC and/or Stock Visual Enhancements.

If you like the presets, please share your screenshots, especially during night-time launches /w lots of lights - and let me know what you think!

V2 looks promising but why are all the screenshots from orbit?

Still need to dump a lot more images. Any scene with (lots of) light will make it look best. Standing on a surface will only do so much :) But i will add more quickly!

What is from this mos itself, as most effects in the screenshots are made by scatterer?

In order:
- Gaussian Anamflare
- Levels (black/white)
- DPX (contrast, gamma, sat, light movie-ish)
- LiftGammaGain (darks, mids, highs adjustments)
- ToneMap (color adjustments)
- Vibrance (color saturation)
- Curves (contrast)
- ReinHardLinear (film-ish contrast curve)
- FilmGrain
- Gauss (advanced bloom-ish)

See OP for comparison footage :)

Hmm. Not sure. I think I did something wrong. It made by game startup time a bit slower and i didn't notice a difference. I probably installed it wrong.

do you see ReShade being started in the top left corner?

Does this work on the (unofficial) 64 bit version? I pointed the Mediator to my KSP.exe and hit the Connect button but it doesn't seem to return anything. So I hit crawling for more and it comes back with some bloody Resident Evil presets. Cheers mate.

Hey. Yet it works for the unofficial x64, that's what i run. You might need to crawl a bit more, it's definitely in there.

have anyone tried it with 1.1 64bit?

since reshade hit version 2.0 the mediator is not more included in the reshade package, so i installed reshade 1.1 pointet to the ksp_x64 and clicked on thelazy.net but the program do not find anything, it seems that thelazy.net is down when you visit the site in browser.

i think the Op must update his installation steps to update to reshade2.0

I don't understand how to install this. I downloaded the ReShade file but it didn't come with the AiO programme called Mediator, nor could I find it on the ReShade site.

Can someone give me a hand? There must be something I'm missing.

I haven't touched it in a very long time, nor do i know how ReShade 2.0 will work with these profiles. I'll have a look again at some point, but for now, the old reshade is the way to go (pre 2.0)

This looks amazing and I want in on it. I tried getting ReShade 1.1 with SweetFx from https://sfx.thelazy.net/downloads/ but that .zip doesnt seem to have a Mediator file in it and the only executable is the ReShade Setup.exe which only allows me to select KSP and launch it, no actual options beyond turning effects ( of which there arent any cuz I never applied a preset) off and on in game w/ scrolllock.

Thx

Hello. I found the 1.1 that comes with the Mediator here http://www.mediafire.com/file/qzt57592861g1fv/ReShade+1.1.0f1.7z

However, I ran it but it didn't find the presets Jays_Nl made. I don't know if they are still uploaded or not.

Obviously not OP's fault but Mediator is insanely bad (maybe because its outdated or something). What sort of inefficient system is this? I crawled a dozen times and every now and then I get a new preset. GTA V, Custome Test - KSP by reesew, etc, and even Call of Duty Online (note even the actual game). I am only 5 out of 363 presets in like 20 minutes. I can easily download the V2 preset from https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5056/ but can't browse for it or inject it. Sorry but this is a bit silly.

Update: BTW, I got 9 presets now, out of 363. :/ Sorry, 12 of 569. At this rate it would take a indefinite time, lol

So, for all the shader lovers, i've updates the preset to work with the new reshade.me version 3.0.x.
