SimpleBetter-Hdr-ILumination

✨ Module introduction

This is the first mod I've ever made! This mod makes the gray scenes in the game clearer and brighter by simply adjusting the global illumination color palette.

🎨 Main functions

  • **Improve global illumination**: eliminate the gray filter effect and make the picture clearer
  • **Optimize the lighting of lamps**: reduce the blur effect, and the light presents a more natural orange tone
  • **Improve Sky Color**: Make the blue more vivid and vivid, enhancing the visual impact
  • **Extremely low performance loss**: only about 2-5 frames lost (depending on hardware configuration)

📋 Version History

Version 1.0

  • Initial version release
  • Basic lighting palette adjustment
  • Reduce the gray tone of the screen

Version 1.1

  • Fixed excessive orange tint
  • Reduced high brightness level from previous version

Version 2.0 🎯

  • **FINAL VERSION**: This is my idea of ​​the perfect grading
  • Make full use of the original colors of the game to highlight its features
  • Completely remove gray filter effect
  • Represents the ideal color that should be present at the time of release

📁 Installation instructions

Version 2.0 contains .ini files and two folders: Shaders and Textures. Just put these two folders into the RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 game directory.

I believe this version will make more players fall in love with the true colors of the game!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
