Changelogs
Version 1.2
Fixed crashing when run in locales with different decimal separators
Version 1.1
Fixed sporadic Multiplier profile crash
Fixed changes to Multiplier profiles not applying immediately
Fixed Show Active and Force Selected options disabling or not disabling each other when they shouldn't or should've
Seven sample profiles are included: Cheerful - every area is a bit brighter and more saturated Gloomy - every area is a bit darker and less saturated Negative - inverted colors Night Vision - useful to see what you're doing in areas like Tomb of the Giants Noir - "gritty" black and white, for the hard-boiled detective type TK's Cut - a set of filters for the whole game that I happen to think are nice Vanilla - all default filters, for if you just want the modded fade effect
Installation Extract the mod folder anywhere you like, then run DS Filter Customizer.exe. Once Dark Souls is running, your filters will automatically be applied.
Profiles Click the Clone button to make a copy of an existing profile, or New to create a profile with default values. There are four profile types:
Global - one filter will be applied no matter where you are.
Multiplier - the vanilla filters for each area will be multiplied by one filter you define.
Detailed - define one or two filters for each different area.
Full Control - every filter used by the game is available for editing.
Changes will take effect immediately in-game, but remember to click Save to make them permanent before closing the app.
Sharing Profiles Your profiles can be found in the "profiles" folder alongside the .exe. Each one is saved in a separate .xml file, so all you need to do is upload it somewhere, and drop any downloaded profiles in the same folder.
