Nightshade - In-Game Color Reshader

This mod adds a highly configurable pixel shader to the game, allowing you to adjust saturation, lightness, contrast, and color balance live during gameplay. It is intended to serve as an alternative to ReShade, for those players who can't (or would prefer not to) use that program. I doubt it has as many features as ReShade, but since it runs within the game, it can do a few extra things, like:

• [] apply independently to the world and UI layers

  []apply when using the in-game screenshot feature

  []automatically apply different profiles depending on the in-game season.

  It also includes a depth-of-field ("tilt-shift") shader, for fun. That one is not as configurable, though.

  This mod is named after the family of flowering plants.

  Source code and releases are available on GitHub.

    Installation

    Nightshade is just a SMAPI mod, so you install it like any other: unzip the mod into your Mods folder and start playing.

    The normal releases require SMAPI 4. 0+ and Stardew Valley 1. 6+, but there is a 1. 0. 5-legacy build in optional files which will work in Stardew Valley 1. 5. 6 with SMAPI 3. 18. 6.

    Configuration

    Nightshade hooks into Generic Mod Config Menu if you have it installed. However, the submenu only allows you to configure the keybinding which will open Nightshade's custom config menu (implementing my own menu was required in order to 1. avoid blocking too much of the screen, and 2. allow values to affect the game's render in real time).

    The default keybinding is H. Press it during gameplay to open the menu:

    There are a lot of controls. Here is an explanation of how they work.

    []Colorize World/Colorize UI

    You can independently toggle whether the color settings apply to the world layer and the UI layer. They will use the same profile; in a future update, I plan to allow them to use different ones.[*]Colorize By Season

    Nightshade saves four color profiles in its config.json. If Colorize By Season is enabled, the profiles will be mapped, in order, to Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter (the tab titles will change to reflect this). In the appropriate season, that profile will be applied automatically. Note that at the title screen, the ga
