ATTENTION: This mod in its current form is more a proof-of-concept, although you can use it for regular playthroughs if you can tolerate some of the bugs.
NOTE: It's recommended, that the path to your game folder does not contain any cyrillic letters, or any symbols like dot, and your game is not on a system drive.

This mod is compatible with:
- Widescreen Fix
- HD Reflections
- HUD Resizer
- Shader materials pack

======== BUGS/ISSUES/TODO ========
  • Make this not proof-of-concept (probably never going to happen)
  • Fix occasional fog issue (probably never going to happen because funny depth buffers)
  • Fix occasional minimap issue
  • Make dynamic fog color switch



======== CHANGELOG ========

==== VERSION 0.2 ====
  • Orange fog was adjusted to be more correct to beta
  • Everything ReShade related was moved to "scripts" folder
  • Added ASI Loader


==== VERSION 0.1 ====
  • Currently done in a very messy way using NFS UG1 Redux shaders: teal/green, blue/purple, orange & white fog color presets.
  • Replaced every sky texture to a night one.
