- description

Sherlock Holmes the devils daughter is the follow up
to the critically acclaimed 'crimes and punishments'
regrettably it does not reach the same heights.
Story wise it expands on the testament of sherlock holmes.

Basically this mod shifts the color palette, reduces
the quite pronounced darkness gamma wise and adds a
little sharpening in the mix see screenshots for
an impression.

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

3dmigoto shader tweaks:
- global fx ambient occlusion and tonemap prevent divide by zero
- reduce fog exterior
- remove fog interior
- decrease highlights skin
- prevent divide by zero slight optimization
- reduce flip flop window reflections
- reduce toby vision (dog)
- remove halo fog fx interiors close to window
- reduce detective recontruct mode and detective highlight mode
- lightshafts aka godrays increase fade distance

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

- install

Copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder of
sherlock holmes the devils daughter, the folder which contains
Sherlock.exe
<drive>:\sherlock holmes the devils daughter\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 the devils daughter:
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 1.0.10897.0 of sherlock holmes the devils daughter
on win 10 / nvidia 1050gtx ti
See screenshot for settings game.

- performance

3dmigoto gpu usage 1080p@ ~60fps
without - clock 1746 Mhz gpu usage ~86%
with    - clock 1746 Mhz gpu usage ~82%
approximately 4% decrease (1050gtx ti on win 7 / win 10)
max gpu: 1772Mhz gpu usage 100%
*) Game set to fast sync 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:
8d01e16dc982b984-ps_replace.txt

Has a remark on the top line:
// reduce fx detective mode

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

AFFF76B482E3DDE9-PS_REPLACE.TXT

and if compiled remove:

AFFF76B482E3DDE9-PS_REPLACE.TXT

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>\Sherlock.exe" -norc -nowrite -nodatabase -noforcefeedback -nosplash
