Realistic Colour Config for Morrowind - Released


Daerk

Recommended Posts

Subject says it all, but for those interested in more details before downloading...

 

Realistic Colour Config for Morrowind (RCC4MW) is a mod that is applied (uncharacteristically) directly to the Morrowind.ini file, changing some of the defaults for colour, fog, and lighting options.

 

These changes are (in my humble opinion) for the better, but try it out, I've included an uninstaller should you wish to revert back to default settings if you don't like my mod.

 

This mod uses the MiNi application created by Vladimir Kraus ([email protected]), which basically applies changes to the Morrowind.INI file safely, allowing the user to remove the installation by applying the uninstaller provided with the template installation.

 

Some further implementation details:

* Enables FPS display

* Optimizes load-handling and minimizes "lag-pauses" by disabling thread-loading

* Makes Water more realistic

* Disables fog transparencies, thus increasing FPS and general performance through the roof

* Enables screenshot capture functionality and renames prefix of "Screenshot" to "SS"

 

Opinions wanted...

 

EDIT by Daerk: Lots of people seem to not be able to find the mod. It's the attachment above, but i'll link it here: RCC4MW

 

EDIT by Daerk: Fixed broken link.

 

-- Daerk off to work more on MEMod...

An additional note:

 

This mod is an alpha release of a mod that will end up completely changing the levels of realism in Morrowind. I'll be combining aspects of the True Lights & Darkness mod (heavily customized) without the malus/bonus due to lighting levels to sneaking skills and whatnot, as well as the Morrowind.ini alterations.

 

At present the most noticeable effect would be the lighting (if you were not using quadratic lighting before installing this mod) and the skies at night. Slightly less noticeable (possibly) would be the water (if you're using a graphics card that supports pixel shaders).

 

An enhanced version will be released with an actual version number assigned to it within the next month.

 

EDIT by Daerk: Including some new screenies...

heyyy pretty nice :D i like it. lighting certainly seems 2 be a lot more realistic than b4, and the nights dont seem 2 be so dark... plus no fog so the stuff in the distance looks more crisp when it comes in2 view

 

i give it an 9/10 :P

 

thanks daerk ^_^

Okay, maybe it's because it's still early here and I'm on my first cup of coffee, but I'm not clear on what to do with this plug-in... I downloaded it, because I *love* the new look as shown in the screen shots, but I don't know what to do with the files...

 

Little help someone?

 

BTW... most exciting plug-in I've seen in a while, Daerk! SWEET!! A definite 9+ in my book.

u extract it to anywhere on ur hdd and then run MiNi.exe

 

zipgenius doesnt extract it properly so u gotta do it manually :P

 

then just select the rcc4mw_install option and click the pencil on paper icon to apply it to the morrowind.ini file
