❄️ Flakes

Add these packages to home.packages or environment.systemPackages after adding nix-reshade as an input:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
     nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
     home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";

     nix-reshade.url = "github:LovingMelody/nix-reshade";
     # Optional, probably best to not to prevent pointless rebuilds
     # nix-reshade.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"
  };
  outputs = {self, nixpkgs, ...}@inputs: {
    # NixOS
    nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      specialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
      modules = [
        ./configuration.nix
        # ...
      ];
    };

    # Home Manager
    homeConfigurations.HOSTNAME = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
      pkgs = import nixpkgs {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        config.allowUnfree = true;
      };

      extraSpecialArgs = {inherit inputs;};

      modules = [
        ./home.nix
        # ...
      ];
    }
  };
}

Add the package(s):

{ pkgs, inputs, ...}:  {
  environment.systemPackages = [ inputs.packages.${pkgs.system}.<package> ];
}

Nix Stable

Note: I don't test against this

{pkgs, ...}: let
  nix-reshade = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/fufexan/nix-reshade/archive/main.tar.gz");
in {
  # install packages
  environment.systemPackages = [ # or home.packages
    nix-reshade.packages.${pkgs.hostPlatform.system}.<package>
  ];
}

Configuring

reshade-shaders

Shaders have options to control whats saved

Full list can be found here: EffectPackages.ini

{
  includeRequired ? true,   # include shaders marked as required upstream
  includeEnabled  ? true,   # include shaders enabled by default upstream
  includeByName   ? [],     # specify the name of the shader for install
  blacklist       ? [],     # Filter out a specific shader by name
  full            ? false,  # Install everything
}

Example

nix-reshade.packages.${system}.reshade-shaders.override {
    includeRequired = false;
    includeEnabled = false;
    includeByName = ["SHADERDECK by TreyM"];
};

Updating

Package can be updated with

nix run .

Tips

ReShade requires d3dcompiler_47.dll for Final Fantasy XIV (probably other games)

# home.nix
# ...
home.file."Games/my-game/dxgi.dll".source = "${packages.${system}.reshade-full}/lib/reshade/Reshade64.dll"
home.file."Games/my-game/d3dcompiler_47.dll".source = "${packages.${system}.d3dcompiler_47-dll}/lib/d3dcompiler_47.dll";
