This mod is epic!But its real laggy. Even with Optifine. Is there any way i could fix this?If so, then please reply!
AND REMEMBER:EAT ALL YOUR STEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:DDDDD You can set on minimum settings to prevent lag. If You set Optifine setting on minimum and You still feel lag - buy a new video card or buy a new computer. And make sure you play on fullscreen.
The Shaders mod was really made for higher end gaming computers with certain requirements for using it smoothly. I realize it works but it is quite laggy. They usually require an i5 processor or higher with a graphics card, if you have a PC. I am not sure of the requirements for Mac. I have an nVidia GTX 660ti and it runs at around 50 frames on average. I will check again and repost as I have not used the 1.5.2 version yet.
Always make sure you have the latest drivers (314.22 for Nvidia or for AMD it's 13.4) There's a few things you can do to speed things up, lowering draw distance and resolution are the two big ones. The quickest boost to your framerate are draw distance and resolution. Put the game in a window and shrink it until you get the frame rate you want, if the window gets too small, drop the draw distance and then try again. After that you'll have to start losing the pretties. You could turn off waving grass, wheat and trees by going into gbuffers_terrain.vsh and putting // in front of #define WAVING_GRASS #define WAVING_WHEAT #define WAVING_LEAVES #define WAVING_FIRE You can disable POM (parallax occlusion mapping) by putting // in front of #define POM in gbuffers_entities.fsh gbuffers_hand.fsh and gbuffers_terrain.fsh (not really relevant if you're on 1.5.x as there's no normal mapping anyway) You could lower the shadow render distance in composite.fsh by changing the values of SHADOWDISTANCE and SHADOWHPL (make sure they have the same value) While you're in composite.fsh you can reduce the shadow resolution by lowering the value of SHADOW_RES Some people have said that disabling SSAO in composite.fsh helped them a lot, although I only got a couple of extra frames out of it. (you have to comment out // every line with #define SSAO in it)
I you are having trouble install this follow my advice.
1. Download Opdifine D2
2. Download this shaders
3. Force update minecraft
4. Open Opdifine D2
5. Place all files in the Minecraft.jar
6. Open the Shaders
7. Place all files in Minecraft.jar
8. Done!
You should edit your post by adding after Optifine D2 word "Ultra" and edit from Opdifine to Optifine.
whenever i try to open or move any of the zips in the shaderpacks folder it says
"jZip could not create the file [The file's location]. Please check and try again."
I've tried re-downloading it, and all sorts of stuff.
they all look like normal minecraft default thing. HALP MEH
I don't know what you have to do. try deleting minecraft folder (except saves, shaderpacks, tecture packs), force updating it, and installing mod again.

Google it. You should find it.
NOW THIS FOLDER CONTAINS OF BEST SHADER PACKS EVER!!!
In my Shader Packs folder are these shaders:
(Green file is shader pack for weak/poor computers)
The file names arent compatible with windows.

I have no idea if that picture uploaded due to my router.
you dont need to unarchive shaderpacks like ""cartoon" shader pack" etc. You just need all shaderpacks folder.
optimize it by changing shadows resolution and disabling waving if trees are waving.
how will i copy it to .minecraft? windows wont let me archived or not.
EDIT: Fixed it. Just had to baby it abit.

Update shaderpacks links. Use chocapic 13 shaders.
