How to install helixmod game fixes and other d3d9.dll mods.[Example Dark Souls]

This is a guide to explain how to install helix's 3d vision wrapper and other d3d9.dll mods (ENB/FXAA/ ETC). This may not always work, I dont believe a d3d9.dll mod has ever not worked with helixmod but its a possibility.

Game example used:

Dark Souls by HELIX

Resolution upscale mod by DURANTE(NOT AFFILIATED TO HELIXMOD, please show support for modder on linked thread.)

Directions
Short version
Install non-helix mod first
Rename mod's d3d9.dll to res.dll
Install Helix Mod 3D Vision Fix
Open dx9settings.ini in notepad.(If not included please see long version)
Under [general] section add the following line(Change install directory to match your own. Only add useendscene line if not already included in [general] section)
ProxyLib = C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA\res.dll
File should read(if install directory is the same).

[General] 
ProxyLib = C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA\res.dll

Save.Exit.Play

Long Version

Always install the non-helixmod d3d9.dll first. In this case Resolution Upscale Mod. Follow the mods instructions and Install to the directory you should. Then Confirm it works in-game.

Now rename the d3d9.dll to something else. In this example we use RES.DLL.

Now install the helix mod patch in same directory. Our installs are usually labeled SHADEROVERIDE. Install to same directory. Confirm it works in game(The other mod will not work yet)

Now their should be a file labeled DX9SETTINGS.INI  that was included with the helixmod patch. Dark souls 2 does include one.  

If no dx9settings.ini is included

Add this file DX9SETTINGS.INI and add to same folder as the d3d9.dll

Open the dx9settings.ini. First Line should read..

[General]

Add a new line after general(press enter, do not remove anything). Make sure that no line in general section reads useendscene = false. If it does already please do not add that line again.

proxylib = 

Now after proxylib =  Add your directory and put what you named the mod. In this case RES.DLL. It should read some thing like..

[General] 
ProxyLib = C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA\res.dll

Save. Start game. PLAY.

IMPORTANT NOTE; IN CERTAIN GAME ENGINES LIKE UNREAL ENGINE 3 YOU NEED TO MAKE A COPY OF YOUR DX9SETTINGS.INI AND PASTE IT 1/2 LEVELS UP... SO DO IT IN ALL.
