What’s Reshade?
Reshade is a client-side post-processing injector.
The main purpose is to change the way games render on screen. Without touching any original files.
It’s mostly used by people who have trouble with sensivity or color perception. And of course by those who want to change the color mood of a game. For more information about this open-source software, visit their website.
Why in Boundless?
Some planets have very agressive colors, and there is not options atm to change them within game settings.
Staying hours on a planet like Gloviathosa can hurt your eyes and give you some headache.
Here is a sample with the grass switched to a more soft color on this planet.
Installation:
1-Download the exe form the official website and Launch the setup, select Boundless.exe located in your steam/common folder.
2-Select OpenGL as the rendering API (should work on any setup). Download shader from the online collection, the ones which interest us is HSLShift.fx
3-Edit the settings:
Effects Path should point towards “Boundless\reshade-shaders\Shaders”
Textures Path should point towards “Boundless\reshade-shaders\Textures”
4-Close the install window.
Usage:
1-Launch Boundless. Reshade information banner should display on the game splash screen.
2-Any time press shift+F2 to show Reshade overlay menu and active/disable any costum shaders.
From here you can save new settings (for each planet if you wish) and load them.
3-play with the options of the shader to obtain the desired result.
