Making FXAA Post Process Injector and Hialgo Boost Compatible

[simsrocks808]

Alright

FXAA: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/131/?

Hialgo: http://www.hialgo.com/SkyrimFAQ.htm#HOW_TO_INSTALL

So I really like these two mods, fxaa colors everything perfectly, no need for a big retexture mod, and Hialgo boost makes me run smooth on high graphics.

**I KNOW** Hialgo addresses FXAA directly: Note: this works no matter ENB mods are also present or not.

Examples of non-ENB d3d9.dll-based mods: Standalone SMAA, FXAA Post Process Injector. and apparently there was a post but : http://www.hialgo.com/hialgo7_002.htm#_Toc329899373 NOT available :sad:

first of all, fxaa doesnt have an ini, and it says : Compatible with both ATI and Nvidia graphics cards.

Not compatible with any mod that overwrites d3d9.dll except ENBSeries.

there MUST be a way!!!

I cant get it though. whenever I try downloading either, they rewrite each others DLL. I tried what Hialgo's FAQ said to do

WHAT TO DO WHEN non-ENB d3d9.dll-based MODS ARE ALSO USED

I even tried that^ method by allowing the proxy library to allow d3d9.dll instead of 'd3d9_other.dll' and renaming hialgo. BUT FXAA doesnt have an ini, this wouldnt work. it just gave me fxaa w/o hialgo

I appreciate any help guys I really want these two mods to work together :|

Dont run these my self..i just have ENB calling up Sweet FX....but cant ...

 

ENB load Hialgo Boost -> Hialgo boost load FXAA. ? that would be 3 DLL's

I think the instructions of HiAlgo's website are misleading. In reading the section about FXAA mod, I got the impression that this mod uses its own d3d9.dll file. Which it clearly doesn't. I wish I could run enb, but I get too much of a performance hit. Besides, I'm more than happy with the awesome mod that is Pure Weather and Pure Waters. No performance hit whatsoever.

Finally got this going on my end. This seems like a dead topic, but I'm sure someone else will have this problem too. Ok, here's what I did.

 

1. Renamed the d3d9.dll that ships with Hialgo to d3d9_hialgo.dll

2. Installed FXAA to directory where tes5.exe lives. Typically this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim

3. FXAA has its own d3d9.dll, you'll see it in the above mentioned directory. I renamed this file to d3d9_fxaa.dll

4. Rename d3d9_hialgo.dll back to d3d9.dll

5. Opened HiAlgoBoost.ini For the sake of completeness, I'm the contents of this file below. The changes I made to my file are highlighted in red. There are several, so be sure to go through everything.

 

On another note, I tried again to do the ENB thing right. And WHOA!! I got a whole 6 to 10 FPS in Whiterun. I can run Skyrim on High settings, with FXAA and Hialgo Boost and get around 55 - 60 FPS outdoors. Even in the heavily forested areas.

 

Hope this helps.

[PROXY]

EnableProxy_xinput = false ; Set true for x360 controller emulator.

ProxyLibrary_xinput = xinput1_3_other.dll

EnableProxy_dinput8 = false ; Can be used to load ScriptDragon etc.

ProxyLibrary_dinput8 = dinput8_other.dll

EnableProxy_d3d9 = true ; Can be used to load Standalone SMAA, SFX, FXAA post-process injector etc.

; DO NOT USE this to load ENB!! Use enbseries.ini to load d3d9_hialgo.dll

; instead

ProxyLibrary_d3d9 = d3d9_fxaa.dll

[KEYBOARD]

; Key options:

; Capital A-Z ==> a...z keys

; 0..9 ==> 0..9 keys

; F1-F24 ==> function keys

; UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT ==> arrow keys

;

; ALT, CAPSLOCK, BCKSPC, DEL, END, ENTER, ESC, HOME, INSERT,

; NUMLOCK, PAUSE, PGUP, PGDN, PRTSC, SCRLLOCK, SHIFT, SPACE, TAB

;

; You can also use numeric key codes. Some codes are same on all computers (for example, codes for mouse buttons

; are 01 and 02; code for key 'B' is 66), some may be different (for example, code for key '<' on my computer

; is 188). You have to check them by yourself, with some free utility like KeyCodes3.exe from

; http://www.delphiforfun.org/programs/utilities/KeyCodes.htm.

;

; So, these two lines are equivalent:

;

; INSTANT_TURNAROUND = B

; INSTANT_TURNAROUND = 066

;

; This line will work for me (if I want to use '<' for instant turnaround)

;

; INSTANT_TURNAROUND = 188

;

; and this line is incorrect

;

; INSTANT_TURNAROUND = <

TOGGLE_HIALGOBOOST = F10

INSTANT_TURNAROUND = B ; rotation by 180 deg, same as mouse middle button.

; For optimal performance these have to match the game settings movement keys:
