Updated ReShade for A:CM

TemplarGFX overhaul mod is absolutely excellent but I really wasn't happy with the Master Effects stuff so I made my own alternative.

Instructions:

Download the txt file from the link above.

Place it in the same folder as ACM.exe(Aliens Colonial Marines\Binaries\Win32)

Download latest version of ReShade: https://reshade.me/

Double click on the installer: https://imgur.com/a/LZCbPFV

Now click on Select Game: https://imgur.com/a/jbFf39U and navigate to ACM.exe again.

Select ACM and click the Open box in bottom right of the window: https://imgur.com/a/lOtQG27

Now select your graphics API on the installer https://imgur.com/a/jbFf39U by default it's DX9 but you may be using modded DX10 or DX11 dll files so if you are select DX10+ to guarantee compatibility. If you have the old ReShade files installed you'll be prompted to overwrite the installation.

Next you'll be asked if you want to download shaders, click yes https://imgur.com/a/9B2mXWN

Check the box next to only these shaders then click OK: AmbientLight.fx, Bloom.fx, Deband.fx, DPX.fx, LiftGammaGain.fx, LumaSharpen.fx, SMAA.fx, Tonemap.fx, Vignette.fx

If you've done everything right you'll see this: https://imgur.com/a/MJkfLjT nearly there...

Click on 'Edit ReShade settings'

You'll see this window https://imgur.com/a/z5OG3c9 Make sure you have the preset selected in the top field and that you have the boxes for Performance Mode and Skip Tutorial checked. Ignore the other fields entirely, they're already set by the program. You may wish to add a screenshot path, I just made a folder in the games root directory and directed it at that.

Click OK and load up the game! Shift+F2 to open the ReShade GUI in-game. Don't forget to set a key for toggling the effect, default is Scroll Lock. You may wish to change your screenshot output type to PNG here.

You have to switch from performance mode to configuration mode to change any of the shader configurations.

Final note: I haven't included any DOF or the MXAO shaders in the preset because the game has it's own implementation of Ambient Occlusion and I don't feel that any additional depth of field effect will help the image without also harming it.
