 Oblivion ReShade Comparison Screenshots (ORCS)

~Comparing ReShades for the refined orc~

1. Overview

Tired of guessing which ReShade preset looks best for the Remaster? Are you especially irked by the absence of Before/After screenshots in ReShade? Well I am! Behold.. ORCS. Providing an offline webapp that features various screenshot comparisons of most of the popular ReShade presets on NexusMods. I will try my best to frequently update the ReShades with my own screenshots for new Reshades. But you can add your own if you like!

ORCS runs directly in your browser from your local files. All scripts and images are included in the download files.

2. Key Features

• [] Preset Management: Add, edit, and delete ReShade preset entries by yourself.

  [] Interactive Comparison: Uses an image slider to easily compare between the before-and-after images.

  [] Favorites: Mark your preferred presets and filter the view to see only your top choices.

3. How It Works

ORCS utilizes your browser to function offline:

• [] File System Access API: Upon first launch (or if permission is lost), ORCS will ask for permission to access its own root directory. This is essential for reading/writing the `orcs_data.json` file and accessing preset image folders via relative paths. It also uses this API when you manually select a folder for a preset. Permissions are remembered by the browser for future sessions but may occasionally need to be re-granted.

  [] Data Storage:

  [] `orcs_data.json`: Located in the ORCS root folder (next to `ORCS.html`), this file stores all your preset metadata (names, links, favorite status, image filenames, and crucially, the optional `imageDirPath` relative path). This is the main data file.

  [] IndexedDB (Browser Storage): ORCS uses your browser's IndexedDB only to store:

  [] The permission handle for the main ORCS root directory.

  [] Any specific folder handles you manually select using the "Select Folder" button (acting as user-specific overrides).

  [] Your chosen theme preference (light/dark).

4. Installation

[] Download the ORCS Utility zip file from the Files tab (Includes the initial 20 Preset comparisons I've added).

[] Extract the contents of all zip files to a permanent location on your computer (e.g., `G:\ORCS`). This location will be the "Application Root Directory".

[*]Double-click the `ORCS.html` file to open it in a compatible web browser (see Requir
