3) Folders descriptions:

After the downloading of the mod you'll find 6 folders, read to know what they are meant for:

-Basic_Files: This is the core of the mod, after you install/replace the files and folders from this folder,
you can play the games but without Reshade effects: RTGI GlobalIllumination, MXAO, FXAA and FilmicAnamorphSharpen,LightDoF_Far
and EFLCIVProject2DFX.

-EFLCIVProject2DFX: This is optional, there is a ReadCarefully.txt Read it, Strongly recommended!!!

-FixFor1.0.7.0AndOlderPatches: Inside this folder there is a ReAD.txt, read it to know what is about!?

-ForCompleteEdition: This is for CompleteEdition, read above No 1)!

-Lens: This is optional, the file will put lens circles mostly around the sun and the illuminated lights.

-Reshade: This is optional, this folder contain Reshade files, all effects in there are ready for use, if you want to disable/enable some effect pres "HOME"
button then tick the effect, by default RTGlobalIllumination, MXAO, LightDoF_Far, FXAA, FilmicAnamorphSharpen are enabled, Strongly recommended!!!

THIS RTGI GlobalIllumination IS OUTDATED THAT'S WHY IT'S FREE! HIGH END PC IS NEEDED FOR THIS EFFECT, OTHERWISE YOU CAN DISABLE IT!!!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



          FROM NOW ON YOU CAN PLAY THE GAMES, BUT IF YOU WANT Reshade RTGI GlobalIllumination, MXAO, FXAA, FilmicAnamorphSharpen and LightDoF_Far then 
                                         READ BELOW!!!

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


4) Reshade INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Copy the files and the folders (ReShade.dll; ReShade.ini, tru.ini; reshade-shaders-master; enbseries.ini; pc; TBoGT and TLAD folders) and put them
in the main folders of the games!

ReShade version 05.10.2020. THE LAST VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH RTGI GlobalIllumination!!!

RTGlobalIllumination, MXAO, LightDoF_Far, FXAA, FilmicAnamorphSharpen are on by default!

 
Open ReShade.ini with notepad or some other text editor and find these lines:

CurrentPresetPath=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\tru.ini

EffectSearchPaths=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\reshade-shaders-master\Shaders

TextureSearchPaths=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\reshade-shaders-master\Textures

ScreenshotPath=hard drive\your screens path    -This's for the Screenshots by pressing - (negative button) from num numbers of the keyboard! 


You must find your game .exe path or where on your PC "enbseries.ini"; "reshade-shaders-master"; "ReShade.dll"; "ReShade.ini" and "tru.ini" files and folder are located!!!

For example, my gtaIV is located on D partition of my hard drive in "gta4" folder so the lines in ReShade.ini must be like that:

PresetFiles=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\tru.ini

EffectSearchPaths=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\reshade-shaders-master\Shaders

TextureSearchPaths=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\reshade-shaders-master\Textures


Also open ReShade.ini in EFLC(episodes from liberty city) and find and write the paths too, 
if it's not dowgraded Complete Edition, this means if IV and EFLC are in separate folders!!!

DON'T USE THESE LINES, ON YOUR PC THE PATHS ARE DIFFERENT!!! 

IF YOU DON'T DO THAT ReShade WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
IF you have MXAO BUG!

You done everything and if your game looks like the "MXAO_BUG_EXAMPLE.png" this means that you have ambient
occlusion bug to fix it open ReShade.ini again and find these line:

PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000.0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=0

and make RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0  to   RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=1  change 0 to 1!!!

if your games are normal then don't touch these line!!!!!
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


5) NOTES:

- In graphics settings Texture quality must be High and anisotropic filtering must be 16 (I recommend you everything to be maxed out, especially the textures, reflection quality
and Shadows) otherwise the clouds and the stars will not look so good, also turn off Definition if you want motion blur!!!

- If you want the games(IV, EFLC) to looks like the current Gen you need to maxed out the graphics settings!!!

- For the best experience I recommend you to use any 2k or 4k DSR resolution with 33% of smoothness, this is
the best anti-aliasing for these games!!!!

- With the original stipple.wtd file the textures and everything is much better, more detailed, especially the vegetation
and less z-fighting on everything!!!

- Use the original vegetation texture or you can use the Bison sales vegetation (Google it) but you must adjust Trees quality in enbseries.ini!

- If you have some graphics gliches, bugs, missing minimap, phone, ...etc then disable all kind of Anti Aliasing from
the control panel of your video card!!!

- DON'T mix this mod with other visuality or ENB mods, you must to put and replace ALL FILES!!!
***************************************************************************************************************************************************

6) Infinity Loading Fix:

- If the loading time of the games to you is too long or infinity then open the control panel of your video card, make a
profiles of the games IV and EFLC and turn on the Fast Vsync and in the game graphics settings turn on the Vsync!

In this way you'll have even better performance!
