yeti1069 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So, I've run the game with ELnFX and the RLO additions to ELnFX, and I love the way the game looks. In particular, I enjoy the removal of light not coming from a discreet light source, the added smoke to candles, and the improved shadows. However, I've read that RLO is going to discontinue its support for ELnFX soon, and I'm wondering which of the two I should stick with, so I'm looking for opinions on the two from people who have tried both.

ArtMurder Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Really, only you can answer that. My personal favorite ENB/Lightening is all bundled up into one Mod, Superb ENB RL. I love the sound of candle smoke though. Often, mixing mods does come out cooler, but over time, as both become more complex, discontinue support is a very likely possibility. I'll look those mods up and tell you what I think though... RLO seems cool, I'll see if I can download it, then tell you what I think. Couldn't find the other one. =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti1069 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 The other is Enhanced Lights and FX. Nexus' search function could use a little improvement I think...it needs to not be quite so literal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishfury Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Due to the amount of updates going to be pushed out by RLO i would lead more towards this one because it is going to have similar effects like ELNFX did. I have used both and i tend to enjoy RLO more because it is more realistic, if you want more of a fantasy lighting go for ELNFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaradin Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I personally tried RLO and wasn't that impressed with it. Sure, the lighting might be more "realistic," but it doesn't give much of an atmosphere. ELnFX maintains that somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti1069 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm still using the RLO ELnFX plugins with ELnFX for now, until I see what each mod ends up doing down the road. The highlights of the two, for me, are the tying all (most?) lit areas directly to discreet light sources, and adjusting interior lighting based on time of day/weather outside. My understanding is that ELnFX does the former (for the most part), and RLO the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
