Gabe's Personal - Cold Nights

EXPLANATIONS

I'd like to always start with a reminder, this is a Personal Reshade, this is how i like to play my game

and i find the athmosphere suits better for my tastes, that doesn't mean that mine is better, just an

alternative way to play Gotham Knights with a different tone/mood.

What Exactly Cold Nights do?

It will give your game a colder vibe and darker tinted shadows

to help characters blend with the world itself, it has 2 versions,

Gameplay - This is the most optimized and user friendly one,

it has all the color grading features, but not containing depth

shaders such as SSAO, Grain, Cinematic DOF, Sharpening and

also Bloom is a bit toned down compared to the "Photo Mode".

Photo Mode - Hence the name, is more oriented to taking screenshots

as it comes with my personal favorite Reshade Shaders such as:

Cinematic DOF, SSAO, AMD Fidelity FX, RealLongExposure

and Bloom is more present on this one aswell. And of course, it's heavier.

Considerations

Since i've altered the color palette, you'll see that the magentas are

shifted towards the blues, it will take a few times to adjust it, but it's

not a big deal, a sacrifice needed to achieve the look i wanted,

it will be a bit harded to find chests now haha, but you can always hit the

toggle button if needed to. Also, you may see a few issues with the lighter

magenta blending on the edges of clouds, nothing  i could do unfortunately,

but it's a minor issue and you won't realy notice unless you focus on it.

INSTALLATION:

1: DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL RESHADE

Step 1: Execute Reshade Stup (ReShade_Setup_5. 4. 2.exe) (or whatever version it is when now)

Step 2: Select "Gotham Knights" from the list

if it's not on the list, then hit "Browse..." and go to your game's directory, for example (steam/steamapps/commom/Gotham Knights/GothamKnights.exe

Step 3: hit Next and keep the box marked at "Directx 10/11/12" (which is this game's api) hit next again

Step 4: check all the boxes but "legacy shaders" (it will duplicate some shaders and you definitely don't want that, unless you want to use some old reshade presets) by clicking "uncheck all" 2x, hit next and finish, you're done!

2: INSTALLING THE PRESETS

Step 1: (optional but organized)

Create a folder inside your game's root and call it whatever you want to store the presets (so they don't end up lost in the middle of those files... cruel)

example (Reshade Presets)

Step 2: Open Gabe's Personal - Cold Nights.rar with your program of choice and move the preset of choice to your "Reshade Presets" folder.

Step 3: Now run the game and press "Home" on your keyboard and skip the tutorial if you haven't done so, or stick around...

click on the bar bellow the tabs and select the "Reshade Presets" folder > Now select one of the presets "Gabe's Personal - Cold Nights - Gameplay or Gabe's Personal - Cold Nights - Photo Mode" and it's done!
