- description

Sherlock Holmes chapter one follows in the foot steps
of the devils daughter with mixed results.
Ambitious in its scope, open world, re-accruing combat,
etc it stumbles a bit gameplay wise and technically
but still has it moments.

Basically the mod attempts to balance the light
dynamics (day and night) and adds a
little bumpmap in the mix as reduces a number of
effects see screenshots for an impression.

If you do not like specific tweaks please see 'further tweaking'
for disabling specific shader tweaks.

3dmigoto shader tweaks:
- reduce fog exterior
- remove fog interior
- reduce old photo effect
- reduce vignette and haze
- alter light emission lamps
- attempt more fluffy clouds
- alter effects as chimney smoke, water, etc

Note(s):
The  package has a customized shader 'upscale.hlsl' which
does some fullscreen tweaks as bump mapping and color modification.

- install

Copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder of
sherlock holmes chapter one, the folder which contains
shco.exe
<drive>:\sherlock holmes chapter one\sh9\Binaries\Win64

- optional install

The following instructions are only needed
if you do not like using unverified dll's you can:

download 3dmigoto from:
https://github.com/bo3b/3Dmigoto/releases
download version 1.3.16 and place the following dlls in the install dir of
sherlock holmes chapter one:
d3d11.dll (64bits)
d3dcompiler_46.dll
then copy `d3dx.ini, ShaderCache and ShaderFixes from the zip file to the same dir aka folder.

note: if you choose to use the d3dx.ini contained in the github package
make sure to set (line 248):
hunting=0
the default setting is:
hunting=1
which sets 3dmigoto to a debug mode.

- verify

After running the game the folder ShaderFixes should
gradually (scene and level dependent) contain the .bin versions:

- tested

Tested with file version 4.25.0.0 of sherlock holmes chapter one
on win 10 / nvidia 1050gtx ti
See screenshot for settings game.

- performance

3dmigoto gpu usage 1080p@ ~32fps
without - clock 1746 Mhz gpu usage ~90%
with    - clock 1746 Mhz gpu usage ~90%
no measurable difference on (1050gtx ti on win 7 / win 10)
max gpu: 1772Mhz gpu usage 100%
*) Game capped at 32fps through nvidia inpsector

- further tweaking

If you like you can compare the modified shader, ShaderCache contains
the original shader, to alter values.

To disable specific tweaks open the shader from
the folder 'shaderfixes' with a text editor example:
2469FAB28F484710-PS_REPLACE.TXT

Has a remark on the top line:
// reduce haze and vignette

So if you do not want that to happen
remove the shader from the folder 'shaderfixes'

2469FAB28F484710-PS_REPLACE.TXT

and if compiled remove:

2469FAB28F484710-PS_REPLACE.BIN

then restart the game.

All shaders <shadernumber>ps_replace.txt have
a similar descriptive remark. (see shader list)

- tips

Create a shortcut (.lnk) with your file explorer and modify
the properties to:
"<drive>:\<exepath>\shco.exe" -norc -nowrite -nodatabase -useallavailablecores -noforcefeedback -nosplash
