Adding DirectX9 effects to Grand Prix 4 (ReShade) [tutorial added P1]

Accually, I think the game runs on the Nvidia GPU, cause the PO is much better.

I tested on certain tracks on certain angles that I know cause the PO to rise, and it did not rise now.

I think I got it going, now I need to see what I need to do to fix the graphics

Which effects are the best for you? I had no idea what kind of them i have to choose.

these are my day-effects;


and those are the effects i use for night races;


but you need to spend some time to find the proper settings for each effect. it's also depending on the screen you are using.

Does anyone have any shaders they can recommend as good ones to use or any combination of shaders?

Thanks

See post above.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

after days (!!!) of looking for the propper depth buffer settings, i have finally found a solution. explanation in first post. giving ReShade access to your depth buffer input makes you use the most amazing effects.

Carl_gpgames. Thanks for the help on ReShader because I discovered this resource after trying to use it from GP4 and with your tutorial it was easy.

Tudo bem com vocês?

Estou usando este programa e gostaria de saber como utilizá-lo no CSM. O CSM não tem acesso ao GP4.exe e GPXpatch.exe diretamente. Instalei o Reshade direto no gp4 original para ver se conseguiria executar o Reshade por ele. Não consegui.

Tem algum meio de fazer funcionar o Reshade com o CSM?

All right with you?

I am using this program and I would like to know how to use it in CSM. CSM does not have access to GP4.exe and GPXpatch.exe directly. I installed Reshade directly on the original gp4 to see if I could run Reshade for him. I did not make it.

Is there any way to make Reshade work with CSM?

hi,
i do use it with csm and it works without problems.
csm does have access to your gp4.exe so all you need to do is to select the same gp4.exe in reshade that you are also using with csm.
and don't forget to configure your depth buffer if you want to use advanced effects (see explanation in first post) as well as to set cpu to "all" in gpxpatch (in your csm mod's settings).

hope it helps,
Carl

Meus Amigos, desculpem!

O Reshade funciona sim com o GP4 original para o CSM.

Estava com um problema aqui recorrente com driver de impressora, que às vezes impede o GP4 de funcionar.

Obrigado assim mesmo!

P.S.: alguma dica de como transformar CSM em No-CSM.

My friends, sorry!

Reshade does work with the original GP4 for CSM.

I had a recurring problem with the printer driver, which sometimes prevents the GP4 from working.

Thank you anyway!

P.S .: any tips on how to turn CSM into No-CSM.

Caro Carl_gpgames!

Digitamos ao mesmo tempo. Obrigado pelas dicas. Tem funcionado sim a contento. Suas dicas são primorosas para fazer funcionar o programa.

Aproveito para lhe agradecer inclusive a rapidez em responder.

Tenho aproveitado suas dicas em outros assuntos deste bendito fórum.

Atenciosamente

Dear Carl_gpgames!

We type at the same time. Thank you for the tips. Yes, it has worked well. His tips are exquisite to make the program work.

In Flight Simulator I used Hexlensflare + HDR (more contrast)
Neobloom, Colormatrix, Unsharp, FilmicSharpen and Curves work well.
Sunset filter looks cool in some situations

Hello, I applied the rashade, cool functional, but the game is low fps. how to solve

disable some of the effects or buy a faster computer.

Does not work.

Reshade could not find the d3d8 file.
Even after clicking OK,thew effects don't pop up to select.

Reshade soes not appear in the upper left like normal.

Owell.

This must work with an old reshade version I guess.

P.S.
I got rid of zaz Tools CSM and reinstalled GP4.

WORKING!!!!!

did you place the d3d8.dll file in the main gp4 folder?

i use the latest version of reshade (4.9.1) in combination with CSM and never had any problems.
