Custom ReShade Preset

[tender valve]

Just spent a whole day working on a ReShade preset for The Legend of Dragoon, My goal was to enhance the visuals while keeping the original look and feel intact, just subtle improvements to make it shine. Let me know what you think!

• 💾 Download Link: Ryuk's TLoD ReShade

• 📁 Setup Guide: Extract the contents of the ZIP file into the jdk25\bin folder.

Heyo! Looks like a good saturation of color. I might suggest posting both images in one message. That way, we can arrow left/right to compare fast, without having to open in two browser tabs.

[tender valve]

There sorry about that lol

[fierce junco]

Ooh I like the depth do you have a screen shot of in battle models?

[tender valve]

There you go

[fierce junco]

Yea I really
Like the depth of color the reshade brings

[tender valve]

Glad you like it enjoy 😄

[coarse ivy]

shaders before formal shader support is badass.

(by formal I mean a selector in-game some day)

[fierce junco]

Hi @tender valve , thank you very much for this reshade. I just want to let you know that I had issues when I tried applying this mod to an updated version of the QOL build. It was referencing the older folder/version and [SuperDepth3D.fx] would fail to compile. I had to go into AppData/Local/Temp/Reshade folder and delete everything there to fix the issue.

[tender valve]

Just tried it with the newest QOL build and no issues

AppData/Local/Temp/Reshade doesnt go there

QoL-Build-v1.17.5\jdk21\bin files go here

[hearty sphinx]

i'm not sure if it's a windows 11 thing but the Reshade folder in temp populated there on it's own. I found it when looking through the reshade.ini. I'm not saying I extracted the reshade file there, I read the instructions about it needing to go in bin and that's why I had no issues when I used it on 1.17.4

[hearty sphinx]

Hi @tender valve . I noticed a few warning messages in the logs when using this mod with QOL build. Should they be ignored?

[tender valve]

Yeah should be fine

[coarse ivy]

new tags are available for modding threads: SC version supported, special instructions, fork, and so on. I have added the Devbuild/3.0 and Special Instructions tag to this pre-existing thread.

@tender valve Hi there. If you would, please confirm this works with the latest devbuild (it's been awhile!) and update your OP to specify the jdk25 subfolder of SC.

[tender valve]

Sorry been busy i updated the description to jdk25 ill update the actual reshade later to the newest version

[coarse ivy]

@peak cairn here is the Shader mod I was trying to find you the other day.

[peak cairn]

Oh nice! Thank you! (:

Hey. New to modding on steamdeck. Where can I find find the jd25k bin folder for the reshade mod?

[north pivot]

I found the folder. My apoolgies. I got ahead of myself.

[slim orchid]

is this for the ps1 game or sc

where can I download the latest version of the custom reshade preset

how do I get the shaders and textures to work with severed chains. Every time I load the game it crashes at the the title screen

[coarse ivy]

@slim orchid this mod - and all mods listed - are for SC.

The latest version is posted by the author here: #1327761368983670924 message

Regarding the crash, which build of SC are you using? Latest devbuild or something else?

[slim orchid]

the latest build

[coarse ivy]

Okay. @tender valve , any chance you are willing to investigate?

[tender valve]

Yeah i will check this later tonight

[tender valve]

Did you install reshade yourself then grab my preset?

[tender valve]

After couple hours of testing the latest versions of reshade don't play well with jdk25/severed chains so i tested alot of versions to find the latest version that would work and updated it to that version just now but the version i already had available was working which makes me think he installed reshade himself then grabbed my preset.

[coarse ivy]

Okay, thanks for the quick response.

[night valve]

is there a way to open this reshade so i can edit it?

i just want to enable crt :)

nvm i got it!

@tender valve wow it looks amazing! thanks for this :D

[tender valve]

Np enjoy 😄

[coarse ivy]

How?

[night valve]

you have to set the key overlay in the reshade ini back to 36, 0, 0, 0

that defaults it back to home where you can open reshade and adjust, it looks like it's got all the shaders and everything like normal too!

but i just turned on the geo mod crt and saved it

[coarse ivy]

That sounds like voodo magic to me! haha. I know CRT is one of the more commonly requested shader types, and I had no idea we could've had it for a few years already by merely changing an ini file.

[night valve]

lmao well now you know!! it's actually super simple though, i can show you if you ever want!

[coarse ivy]

I'd like that! if it's that simple we gotta publish this as another shader option people can just download and use.

[night valve]

@tender valve could probs edit the ini for the download so nobody has to do it themselves!

then you just press home key and toggle stuff on or off, ez pz

[night valve]

there you go, i just enabled the home key, nothing else is changed

[coarse ivy]

Okay, I can try this out in 1-2 hours.

[tender valve]

The key i set is Ctrl + R i set it to that because alot of people are going to smaller keyboards like 60% keyboards and they dont have a home key

[night valve]

oh okay, perfect. i'll delete my file

[tender valve]

I mean i can edit the original post if people really want crt just press Ctrl + R and then enable GeomModCRT or i can just make another preset in the already available download and just select the different preset at the top of ReShade

[coarse ivy]

I think what I didn't understand is that this is a "modular" preset which can be adjusted to have all sorts of appearances. Based on your listing, this shader looked like it was just your styling with no config at all.

[tender valve]

Well i tested like literally every single shader that was available to find the ones i liked which took hours and then i fine tuned the settings of those shaders but yeah ReShade is very modular just not everyone understands it so i just try to simplify things im pretty sure every shader is included with the preset but when i update ReShade i only update reshade not the shaders because there have been times where i updated the shaders and it completely changed the look and basically ruined the preset so i keep backups

@coarse ivy here crt off/on

[coarse ivy]

very interesting, if mystifying haha.

[livid yew]

Is there any way to use the CRT shader on steam deck, not sure how to get reshade working with this

[mortal mica]

hii. i tried to download this mod for the 'quality of life' build, but it got super laggy. am i doing somethin wrong?

[tender valve]

Sorry didn't see response um it shouldn't i play on the qol build as well no problems

[tender valve]

Not sure about steam deck sorry

[proven knoll]

I'm about to suggest a whole avalanche of crt shaders. Lol. Any way to get newpixie on there?

[humble moon]

Silly question, do you openGL for its API when installing ReShade?

[brave belfry]

i just downloaded the QOL Build 1.20.6 and that jdk25 folder isnt there for me to add the shaders in

is it only for older versions
