With some bug fixes (which should fix https://github.com/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/issues/494), this is basically the same as the previous V5 version. I decided that updating these in this state now (since people currently have to go out of their way to get "proper" V5 packs) would be better then having updating these in a few weeks with some small fixes.
So basically, a version 2 will follow, but I just want to get these out now!

These workarounds were intended for fixing the issues caused by the old WDDM 23 drivers, which offered better performance than their newer counterparts and was able to boot in game prior to Cemu 1.15.17. Now, since BotW is able to boot in game with the newer drivers with similar or better performance, these 2 can be removed as the issues were fixed in WDDM 24 and newer drivers. Intel even removed the DL link to older drivers like the WDDM 23 and 24 ones.

Was requested over at the Cemu discord too after we took them away while we sanitized them, and there isn't really an issue with having these. Let's just keep those presets sanitized now.
Also found out that some random workaround had appeared in our resolutions folder 🤔.
Didn't update the docs (will do that tomorrow), but I manually checked (didn't verify things, but I basically checked if it contained "uf_windowSpaceToClipSpaceTransform" and if the shader was made after a certain Cemu change was made due to how they're left out) to see if any graphic pack in here was *probably* safe.
I also didn't convert 5 graphic packs since they contained signs that needed to be manually checked or at least examined more:
- \Enhancements\TwilightPrincessHD_Bicubic
- \Resolutions\DevilsThird_Resolution
- \Resolutions\TwilightPrincessHD_Resolution (this one just needs to be fully verified since it's popular enough and has like 27 shaders)
- \Resolutions\LegoStarWars_Resolution
- \Resolutions\TokyoMirage_Resolution (this one could also be manually verified)
I hope I didn't make too many mistakes with this one.
I searched through quite a bit of commits to properly credit some packs. Some of the credits are based off memory. Please let me know if I incorrectly credited or forgot to credit somebody.
Should fix the native anti-aliasing preset most importantly, but since I ported all of the packs now the script "watermark" is at least a proper sentence, heh.
Also, I fixed the porting scripts. Basically, there were a bug in the verification script that wouldn't check if the uf_* variables matched and the conversion script also had a fun bug where it wasn't automatically fixing an incorrect order of the uf_* variables. So that basically made both of them slip through. Both are now fixed however.
Don't know if it's needed to check the previously ported graphic packs to see if the error affected those, but it might not hurt.
Xenoblade Chronicles X packs are now ported too! Which has, after BotW, the most shaders I think made by all of the efforts from getdls. All shaders were successfully verified and tested in-game (from what I could tell).
But now done properly! Basically, a bunch of improvements were made to the script. The previous attempt at this conversion was quickly followed by a rollback since I realized that the script was overlooking certain things that made most of the packs hit or miss whether they would work. A few things missing were:
- It only tested the values from 1 preset. Now, each shader gets compiled per each preset, like what Cemu would do. It also merges the changes done for each preset into one. This should solve cases where one shader would define things separately or repeatedly from preset to preset.
- All* of the shaders are tested to see if they use the converter used the right values for the locations for Vulkan.
Both of these *should* mean that they should both compile and be linkable in Vulkan, which means that I don't have to test each individual shader to see if they work. I will release the two scripts (one used for converting, one used for checking the right values for the locations) tomorrow so that other people might be able to help, if they want. It's fairly straightforward now at least.
* Organize workaround graphic packs
Pretty hard to organize these correctly, but according to our discord discussion, this was the best layout from a bunch I proposed, together with some suggestions.
* Add V4 converter script and instructions on how to use it
Now everyone BotW is done and all of the bugs have been kinked out using it (hopefully...), here's the release of the converter script in all of it's very badly coded glory. I hope I didn't leave too much debug glory in there...
Also, I hope that I didn't make too many grammatical mistakes in the instructions, but hopefully it's easy enough to follow.
* Update rules.txt
add "(OpenGL)" to title and rendererFilter to this pack since it creates crashes on vulkan and is not nessecary due enforcement of GX2DrawDone on vulkan
* Update rules.txt
Since it's not possible to update 300+ shaders manually and automation was possible, I thought that I'd take the honor and create a script that's able to automatically convert all of the shaders to be cross-compatible with Vulkan. And change the graphic pack versions to version 4 of course.
Also, the script has some nifty testing code which compiled every shader as OpenGL and Vulkan, but for that see the details that I've written below.
**Here's the script that I've made to do all of this. No manual edits were needed:**

Both had some weird stuff going on which the Vulkan converter couldn't successfully compile. Also, the presets in the anti-aliasing might be nice, but they are not even used in the shader 🤔.
