Hi Folks,
thank you for downloading my first self created mod ever.
This is a shader mod that completely changes how the game Looks and feel.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, i want to give a Special thanks to every modder that helped me and set the base:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Xan/Tenjoin (decompiled shaders)
- BlueSkyWest (explaining some code)
- PAIN (some ideas)
- Good Shit (idea for Fixing flare-rotation direction)
- UNLOCALIZED (some ideas of how to fix certain szenarios)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HD Reflections: https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3363
- Widescreenfix: https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3327
- Unlimiter (when using EC+ V4+): https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/846

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to set-up the mod:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- delete FX folder (in game root Folder) if existing
- !! IMPORTANT !! delete Texture_Shader_Loader.asi in SCRIPTS Folder, if it exists 

Vanilla install:
- install widescreenfix and hdreflections first!
- copy FX Folder, SCRIPTS Folder and dinput8.dll in game root Folder, replace files if asked for
- install new Filters with Binary from "Filter" Folder (uninstaller also located there)
- (Bonus) install new Flares from "Flares" Folder (uninstaller also located there), install VANILLA_INSTALL(or _UNSINSTALL) script with OGVI

SunRise/REDUX Install:
- copy FX and SCRIPTS Folder to game root Folder
- replace files if any
- (Bonus) Install new Flares from "Flares" Folder (uninstaller also located there)

Emitter Overhaul:
- make a backup of your global folder first
- install each part by number with OGVI (ignore all errors if there are any, all is fine):
  1.  emitterdata
  2.  emittergroup
  3.  simsurface
  3.1 simsurface(W2C) (if Wolrd 2 Carbon mod is used)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- press the insert key (ins), then a menu should pop up
