Reshade <3's Starmade

[Crusade]

Greetings everyone!
I've been off for a few days finding out how to put more oomph into Starmade. Turns out there's a little openGL compatiable shader injection thing called 'reshade'.

Anyway, this is to teach you how to install and use it.

WARNING: Use at your own risk!

1. Head over to reshade.me and download version 1.1.0

2. One you have the archive, you'll want to navigate to the Java directory that Starmade uses, find the folder containing javaw.exe (for me, it's C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin)

3. Copy all the files from the Reshade archive into the same folder as javaw.exe

4. Create a copy of reshade64.dll (if using 64 bit) or reshade32.dll (if using 32 bit)

5. Rename the copied file to OpenGL32.dll (whether it's 64 bit, or 32, it gets changed to opengl32.dll)

6. Move the folder within the ZIP attached to this post to the \ReShade\PersonalFiles\Presets directory. Start Starmade and open Mediator.exe. Select "StarShade 0.1" from the dropdown on the Setup page.

Enjoy!

I can't find this file

Should be in the Reshade archive you downloaded.

Should be in the Reshade archive you downloaded.

Oh rlly?

I said go to http://reshade.me/ to get reshade - the archive attached to this post is just a preset.

 

[Byamarro]

Nvm
there was an error and my download didn't end.
I didn't noticed it and picked the one the one I downloaded before (the one attached to ur post).

 

[Crusade]

XD All good haha

 

[Byamarro]

Well still doesn't seems to work.

Installed to the correct directory? The java version that Starmade uses?

1) Yes
2) I have only one Java

 

[Crusade]

and you made a copy of reshade64.dll and renamed it to opengl32.dll? (assuming you're using 64 bit)

Made both just in case.


EDIT
WAIT BRB

EDIT2

Yep still doesn't work.

 

[Crusade]

and you're selecting the preset after you've jammed it in the right folder? Without a preset you'll see literally no difference to the game

yup

 

[Crusade]

And you put all the stuff from the reshade framework archive into the same folder as Javaw.exe?

GLORIOUS.

If this doesn't lag the game, skooma should definitely add that. Until then I'll download this to try it out.

I have a probem... Everything is really, REALLY dark... Though all the other effects seem to work.
