RPCS3 Emulator - Red Dead Redemption - [Rendering Improvements + Custom Game Mod Improvements] HD

A few days ago a new interesting build of RPCS3 was released. Lead graphics developer kd-11 managed to fix transparency (of foliage, etc) for many games among others RDR and furthermore shadows and lighting were improved in many games. In this case RDR started to render the high LOD shadows which are close to the player correctly. However RDR still has rendering issues with the lower LOD shadows which results in a dark lighting ring around the player. This is where my custom RDR mod comes into play to work around those issues temporarly until they are fixed properly in RPCS3. ATTENTION: My game mod is NOT a fix for the shadow/lighting issues in RDR. This is a game specific mod done via RDR file modding and it is not an official fix affecting the emulator. Keep in mind that this mod is a hack and experimental. It may also cause instabilities in RDR. What does the game mod do? The mod improves lighting and shadows of RDR. I increased the high LOD shadow render distance by 3 (via .XML file modding) to increase the shadow radius and it removes all the low LOD shadows which are currently broken in RPCS3.
