Cinematic Warfare


So you turned on all the post processing effects and play at the highest resolution, but your game still looks average?
I've had this trouble and so I decided (being a film maker) that Chivalry needed a more cinematic and vibrant look.

There are two separate parts to this mod, one which is the reshade preset and the other is an explanation on how to create a custom resolution with black bars. 
You can just use the preset without creating the custom resolution, it is simply a preference.

This reshade uses the following effects:

LUT 
Film Grain
Bloom
Vibrance
SMAA

Why I mod:
 
Back in 2012 I threw myself into the immersive mystical world that is Skyrim. yet as I played one thing began to irk me. The textures!
To put it plainly they suck. I tried to ignore it but over time it got to me so much that I literally forced myself to learn the art of creating textures just so I could fully immersive myself in glorious and copious amounts of detail.
Eventually I realised maybe other people would enjoy my creations. And so here I am sharing my many hours of trials and errors with this amazing community and if even one other person can enjoy them as I have I count that as a success!

Thank you to this amazing community of mod creators and users I am humbled to be counted as one of you.
 
 
Why I'm on Patreon:
 
As some of you may know or have guessed, creating mods take many hours, many more cups of tea and yet more cups of coffee. I do it because I love it and because I get excited to I share my creations with others who love it too.
That being said, if you shout me a coffee or a tea this will help me to cover my expenses like purchasing texture resources, my electricity bill and my sanity.

(Disclaimer: I will of course continue to create mods whether I receive support through patreon or not.)

Part 1
Installation.

1. Go to https://reshade.me/ and click download.
2. Open the file and point it to where you installed Chivalry (you want to direct it to either the 32 bit or  64 bit executable depending on your system)
    E.g. C:\Program files\steam\steamapps\common\Chivalrymedievalwarfare\binaries\win64\CMW.exe
3. Select Directx 9. When it asks if you want to download a selection of standard effects click "no" (not necessary as this mod contains all effects needed)
4. Download this mod and drag the contents to the win64 or win32 folder as shown in the path in step 2 above ^
5. That's it!  In game press "F2" to open the customisation menu, to toggle/adjust effects. "Home" key is set to toggle the effect on/off

Part 2 (optional)
Custom Resolution (Black Bars)

So if you want to create a custom resolution to create the cinematic widescreen effect you need to create a custom resolution of either 1920x900 or 1920x800. But I reccommend 1920x900.
Unfortunately I only know how to do this with a Nvidia graphics card, however if you look for the AMD graphics properties on AMD machines I'm sure you can work it out.
1. Open Nvidia control panel, Click on 'Change Resolution' then scroll down and click customise.
2. Click Create custom resolution, then select 'automatic timing from the drop down menu. Then finally change the vertical resolution to 900.
3. Click test. your screen will flash for a minute (its normal) then click save and click ok. You should then see the new resolution listed under custom in the resolution list.
4. In game change your resolution to your new 1920x900 resolution

Note: If you are finding the scene too dim lit you can press the tilde key in game (~) and write: 'gamma 2.7' (without quotation marks) and the scene will become much brighter.
