After

Fixed: 
•	Halos caused by some water surfaces and fog
•	2D menus and HUD pushed to depth
•	Mog clock, speech bubbles, quest and aiming marker placed at correct depth
•	god rays fixed
Known Issues:
•	some distortion effects during fights look strange (similar to motion blur, etc.)
•	some lense flare effects and character portraits for monsters had to be disabled
•	sporadic HUD elements are still 2D as fixing them would cause other issues
Installation:
•	Download this ZIP file and extract the contents into the main folder of the game (e.g. ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII-2\)
•	move d3d9.dll into the folder that contains the game's EXE file (e.g. \Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII-2\alba_data\prog\win\bin\)
•	if You want to reduce Mog to its glow effects (which still indicates its position and the detection of hidden treasures) copy the files from the Mog remover folder into Shaderoverride/PixelShaders/. I really like this character, Kupo! But it looks too strange for me so I have decided to include the option to make it invisible ^^
Additional Notes:
•	The game uses the same shaders and even textures for many different purposes that need different kind of fixes. So the fix also detects the actual convergence presets to identify the gameplay situation (main menu, exploration, cut scene, etc.) and uses the correct method. Please make sure to have used the correct hotkey for the actual gameplay situation.
•	Depth and convergence presets per hotkey: 
"7" - exploration, battles
"8" - cut scenes
"9" - close ups in cut scenes. 
You can customize the settings by pressing the hotkey, adjust convergence/depth and save it with Ctrl+F7.
"c" - toggles (a) the preset for the start menus,  Historia Crux and loading screens and (b) the preset for the Crystarium. The game will start with preset (a) so You just have to press "7" after the level was loaded. Please do NOT adjust the convergence and save it when the last hotkey You have used was "c".
•	DX9Settings.ini provides information how to change the hotkey assignment and to change the depth of the HUD for the presets (even making it 2D again)
•	Toggle light shafts intensity with hotkey "v" (original/reduced/off) 
•	Toggle HUD in fights with hotkey "p" (on/off)
Many thanks to bo3b's school for shaderhackers and especially DarkStarSword!
