    Rename "Sense Star Stuff"

    in Mod Ideas

    Posted

    The names and descriptions of the powers all follow a specific theme for lack of a better word except for "sense star stuff". Renaming it to "star sense" or "life sense" or something suitably thematic to the other power names and descriptions would be a very minor but welcome mod.

    Ugly blocky shadows on characters and NPC's

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

     

    I used to have them completely off, & somehow they came back. Sorry, but the implementation of shadows for this game kinda sucks, & I'd rather have them completely gone than have to deal with them.

    How do you get rid of them completely? None of the mods or .ini tweaks make it playable. The weird thing is, I NEVER noticed them until I decided to reinstall and play this time.

     

     

     

    This is my SkyrimPrefs.ini ... no shadows are seen in game.

    It's wonderful and a huge boost to FPS ...

    I want to increase the range at which everything is rendered at it's maximum level of detail.

    Right now as it is I can easily see the range at which things become rendered in full detail even when I'm moving through dense forests. I have a pretty beefy system so it's up for anything, on a related note while I was looking around for .ini tweaks I found a few souces that told me to change settings that weren't in the .ini folders so I added them in. If anyone knows what to do in order to get what I want then I would appreciate the help, my goal is to at least double the maximum detal render range but I would like to increase it to three times what it is now ideally.

    Ugly blocky shadows on characters and NPC's

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted · Edited by Se7enupMustang

    Holy mother of monkeys ArtMurder, before suggesting to raise the iShadowMapResolution to max find out if the persons rig can handle it or warn that old and slow rigs wont like it much! On a laptop or minimum requirement rig that could turn the game into a slideshow. And this one: bShadowsOnGrass=1 could really cause severe lag in places with lots of grass and does not improve the shadows at all, just makes the grass look better.

     

    For the LOD, in the game setting drag all the LOD ones to the far right and test. If you get lag then bump them down until it is acceptable.

     

    No performance issues here, I can max Skyrim on my laptop so it's nothing for my new desktop and like I said I have everything maxed and it still seems too be poping in way to close.

    Most of the settings were already set like that, I did have to add iShadowFilter=3, bShadowsOnGrass=1, bDeferredShadows=0, bDrawShadows=1 but everything else was like you posted. It still didnt fix the shadows on charaters though, I added a shot so you can see.

     

    on a side note while I have you here do you know any settings to make the terrain detail pop up suddenly in a less fugly way. I have everything maxxed out and it looks like the detail pops in at about 200 feet which is very very noticeable and aggravating.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ENB....wtf is it?

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    Can you recommend anything that can get me at least close to what I'm trying to get?

     

    I'm not really familiar with imaginator so I couldn't comment there. I don't really know what to suggest. Perhaps try something like SweetFX - it has quite a customisable setup with several options to play with.

     

    Other than that, ENBs probably are the easiest way forward. I love the visuals from some ENBs but as my computer isn't great I wanted an alternative hence why I decided to completely rewrite the internal lighting and weather system! But I wouldn't recommend doing this, is more stress than it's worth :biggrin:

     

     

    I wouldn't even know where or how to begin to do that, I took a look at the SweetFX page and I'll give it a try later. First I'm going to mess around with what I have, I've switched from Enhanced Lights and FX mod to the Realistic Lighting overhaul mod and I'm to see if I can get closer to how I want Skyrim to look. Imaginator is really nice though, no editing files or anything just an in game spell to summom a guy that you talk to to change the settings, There are some pretty cool presets but its all customizable and there's no fps hit at all that I could detect. my performance is exactly the same according to the Skyrim Performance Monitor.

    ENB....wtf is it?

    Thank you for the clear and concise way you both have explained ENB, I knew there would be a performance hit using ENB which is the primary reason I haven't committed to trying it, I've seen a number of people complaining about it on several ENB mod pages here on the nexus. Like ilikecheese1337 I use the IMAGINATOR mod as well as DYNAVISION, Skyrim HD 2k textures, and Enhanced Lights and FX but I can't get Skyrim to look the way I want. I want vibrant colors without being fake and I just cant get it right, I can get close with the Imaginator mod but then I have issues at night where the sky is bright enough to outline mountains and trees and I can see perfectly to the horizon but if I fix the brightness at night then during the daytime everything is too dark. Its very immersion breaking to have to stick with either or and I got tired of spending 5 minutes changing the settings whenever it becomes day or night. I want rich colors that are like this SEG ENB Just without too much of a fps hit, right now I have a sweet spot where I average 30-48fps and I don't want to lose that. On the topic of hardware I'm playing on a laptop, an Alienware M14x - i7 2630QM, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GT 555M 3GB.

     

    Currently my settings are

    1600x900

    AAx4

    AFx4

    Textures/Shadow/Decal quality high

    Radial Blur medium

    No FXAA

    No water reflections

    Object/Actor/Item fade 10

    Grass 5

    Spec Fade 12

    Light Fade 25

    Distant Obj. Detail Medium

    Distant Obj. Fade on

     

    I've decided against using ENB, maybe I will when I get my desktop built but I wont use it on my laptop, Can you recommend anything that can get me at least close to what I'm trying to get?

    ENB....wtf is it?

    in Skyrim LE

    Ok I'll start off by saying I do use mods and I have slowly been using more and more complicated ones as I learn more about not messing up my game, I take things slow though so bear with me on that.

     

     

    Anyways,

     

    Can someone please explain in English what ENB is (aside from the obvious "it makes everything look awesome" description), how it works, how to install it, what it conflicts with (mods) etc. Please keep in mind that I don't make mods, or do any sort of programming or anything related to it so please refrain from using acronyms and jargon associated with making mods or doing complicated things with game/system files and the like.

     

     

     

     

    Thanks much.
