Version 1.0

Installation:
1. Download the latest ReShade version at reshade.me
2. Run the ReShade .exe and Chose your NMS.exe, found here, "... C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries"
3. Select the openGL for the API
4. Select yes when it ask if you want do download a collection of effects
5. Deselect all but one of the effects, doesn't matter which one as soon you will be replacing them with the ones from this mod.
6. Go to your No Man's Sky binaries folder, where the game's .exe is, go to your "reshade-shaders" folder and delete the "Shaders" and "Textures" folders
7. Download this mod and copy the files "Realistic Lighting Overhaul Reshade Performance.ini" OR "Realistic Lighting Overhaul Reshade Full Cinemaic.ini", "opengl32.ini," and the "reshade-shaders" folder into your NMS folder where your game's NMS.exe is, "... C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries". Just hit yes to overwrite if promoted.
8. Open the "opengl32.ini" file and make sure these three lines match your game's install paths:
TextureSearchPaths=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\reshade-shaders\Textures
EffectSearchPaths=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\reshade-shaders\Shaders
ScreenshotPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries
If your install paths are not the same as above you must change them or ReShade will be looking for its textures and shaders where none exist.
9. Launch the game and do not press anything until you are promoted to load your save. This gives the Reshade time to load.
10. Once in game you can hit the F4 key to bring up the Reshade menu. "Realistic Lighting Overhaul Reshade Performance.ini" OR "Realistic Lighting Overhaul Reshade Full Cinemaic.ini" from the drop down menu. You can from here enable further features or even edit the reshade to your preference. You can enable Bloom, Depth of Field, Vignette, Chromatic Aberration, film grain and cimenatic border which are all off by default but can be enabled to further increase your cinematic experience.

Download;
- Project V by TheMercsAssassin
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/748
Only download Here Be Dragons 1.1
Only use MercRealisticwinterLUT_8012.pak
DO NOT use any other files from this mod as they are already incorporated in RLOr.
If you don't use this mod, then it is 100% suggested to at least get a mod which disables default biome filters. This is because NMS by default has ugly filters all over the place and some exotic planets may even be black and white.
- Chromatic Skies at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/845
Only use _MOD.MSSP.ChromaticSkies.Fix.pak
If you use the other files you may get intense tinting on the ground and skies and some clouds may not have the same hue or brightness levels as the sky. You can use every file from this mod depending on your personal tastes.
