DS2 Vanilla Visuals for Scholar

Description

This ports the filterparams (and colorgrading files) from Vanilla DS2 over to Scholar, for those who prefer how Vanilla looks, but prefer Scholar's changes, which might be a small demographic, I'm not sure.

Installation instructions

Unzip the archive after you download it. Copy everything to your DS2 "game" folder and then launch the game. Modengine is already included (thanks Katalash for making that!) and setup for ya. If you'd like to merge this mod with other mods you're using, just grab the "filter" folder from the mod and add it to your existing mods folder (whatever you've called that and is referenced in the modengine.ini file)

Main features

The entire game will look like Vanilla DS2. That's it. 

Can you play it online?

Since it uses modengine, I wouldn't recommend it. By default the mod is setup to disable online. If you want to re-enable online, you can change the one line in the modengine.ini, but you do so at your own risk of getting banned. Your other option is using UXM to unpack your game, patch your exe, then copy my "Filter" folder over to your "Game" folder, but even then, that's not guaranteed safe for online either.

Will it work with DS2LightingEngine?

I think it should. It's just replacing the existing filterparams with vanilla's and they're the same name and everything. It's not adjusting when they're used or anything like that. So I think it should be totally fine.

Thanks to Katalash for making modengine that's used in this mod. Credit to UXM for unpacking the game, which enables modders to access all the files. Witchybnd lets us unpack the files further. Credit to everyone who has helped me learn basically anything about modding.
