Reshade for Pandora – Darker, sharper nights, dawn&dusk. More colourful Pandora.
Requires
Ultimate Avatar Frontiers of Pandora ModLoader
To Install:
1. You will need to install the reshade app first (https://reshade.me).
2. Place the ‘Better Pandora’ preset into your AFOP folder. This path:
Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP
3. Open AFOP and press the ‘home’ key (7 on numpad, if you don’t have a keyboard with a numpad/it doesnt work, look below to troubleshoot), an overlay will pop up with a list of effects for the reshade.
4. Click on the blue bar beside two arrows. A drop down menu will appear, look for & select Better Pandora.ini if it hasnt already loaded. Close the menu using the home/7 on numpad key again. All done.
How to install Reshade:
-Once it has been installed, a window will pop up asking for your game. AFOP likely wont be there, so you need to click ‘browse’ – go to this path: Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP and then select your afop application/afop exe.
Back in Reshade – click next. Select Microsoft DirectX 10/11/12 and then click next again.
A new window will pop up asking which effects to install. Install these ones: SweetFX by Ceejay.dk, Legacy Effects, FXShaders by luluco250, AstrayFX by BlueSkyDefender.
Click next. Program will proceed to download onto AFOP and launch the next time the game launches.
If you don’t have a numpad/it doesn’t work:
1. You first need to quickly open the game so that Reshade makes a configuration file. Then head to:
Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP
2. Open the ReShade configuration settings file within AFOP with notepad. Look for ‘KeyOverlay’ beneath the [INPUT] list. The number after is the number of the key on your keyboard which we will change to get it working. Use this website to pick a new key: https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode
3. Input your key of choice on the website to get the javascript keycode number. Then put this chosen number into the notepad, replacing the old number. Example: I pick F12 as my key. 123 is the javascript keycode. Update the file to: KeyOverlay=123,0,0,0 – then save. After this is done, continue following instructions above.
