1. What is Adrians Clear Visuals for Warcraft 3 Reforged?

This Reshade mod has been created to deal with problematic brightness and colors in Warcraft 3 Reforged in competetive gameplay. It creates a flatter and brighter image with individual adjusted colortones, so it is easier to spot what is going on and to identidy units and heroes faster during a battle in WC3 Reforged Multiplayer.

It is not a fancy mod that introduced flashy colors or extrem contrasts - which would have the opposite effect in my opinion. Primary goal is to increase readability of all units, environments and buildings during day and nighttime without chopping the characteristics of the day/night circle. Since it is impossible to adress with this tool each terraintype indiviually, i had to create one shader, that works for all. Most noticeable are changes on the terraintype of Twisted Meadows /Echo Isles / Gnollwood etc. Hope you like it and enjoy playing with it.

6. Disclaimer

ReShade simply manipulates already rendered content with new filters called Shaders - very simelar as Nvidias Geforce Experience Art Filters. However, there are some advanced techniques available, that access the deepth buffer in 3D-Games and can make obscured objects visible (not invisible units such as Blademsters) . For that reason Reshade 4.6.1 disables that specific feature set automatically whenever you are playing online to prevent you from getting banned or attempting to cheat. ReShade should be safe to use - however i did not programm this tool and only created this mod with it. So use ReShade and this mod at your own risk.
