About this mod

AlpenGlow is designed to give a very high quality realistic image. Warm deep color tones - beautiful detail and sunglares. My most advanced ENB to date- there is nothing like it.

Permissions and credits
AlpenGlow is a compilation of many innovations in image post processing coming from Kyokushinoyama, Midhras, CeeJay.dk, and of course Boris Vorontsov. I have taken great effort to develop this to a pro level - It will give warm deep color tones - beautiful detail and eye catching sunglares. This is designed for my own interests which are in Screen Archery and will have a high cost in frame rate loss. This is the very nature of post processing and is unavoidable so do not expect otherwise.

Some of the innovations within this ENB that distinguish it are :
- Unique shaders from Midhras.
- Customized Bloom.fx sheet - color balanced and brightness adjusted to AlpenGlow
- High quality enbeffectprepass.fx utilizing Split DOF Q3/Q4 settings and SSAO-CSSIL Pixel Color Sharpening.
- Variable Bokeh shapes and offsets.
- Special enbsunsprite.fx work from Kyokushinoyama.
- Unique palette with better developed contrast dynamics and a subtle pink hue.
- Sun and sunglare textures by Kyo.

Much of my work is based on previous work by Kyokushinoyama and Midhras and they deserve much of the credit and a sincere thanks for their dedication and contributions.

**MAIN file updated to 1.5 ( 10/27/2013 ) Some issues with the SweetFX files that were causing problems for people has now been corrected. This should resolve that problem. Corrected some Memory settings as well.

**NEW!!!-->10/21/2013 I have created two variations of AlpenGlow designed to help people who have AMD graphics cards and/or issues with SweetFX shaders. Many AMD owners have had much trouble with the newer ENBs from Boris and Feed back seems to indicate that older ENBs are stable for them. AlpenGlow Retro is designed to run on either 0.150,0.156, 0.161, or 0.173 while still utilizing the SweetFX Shaders. There is also Sugarfree AlpenGlow Retro that is the same as above but re calibrated to run WITHOUT SweetFX. You will need one of the binaries mentioned above from http://enbdev.com/download.htm. Follow install directions further down this page.

******************* SIMPLE INSTALL ***********************READ CAREFULLY**************************
This mod is not set up for NMM you can use it to download but install by hand.

1. Download ENB .216 from http://enbdev.com/download.htm.

2. Install ALL of the ENB 0.216 binary package(wrapper version) then OVERWRITE this with my ENB package in your FNV game folder. ***NOTE that you will need to use the injector version if you are running Windows 8 for the files to work for you.

3. Erase your RendererInfo located within My Documents/My Games/FalloutNV folder and also back-up your Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini found there also as a precaution.

4. Start your game from the Fallout New Vegas Launcher located within Steam Games/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas on your computer--do what is mentioned below under INGAME SETTINGS.

INGAME SETTINGS...VERY IMPORTANT- cut off these from the game launcher Settings option--- antialiasing- anistropic filtering - and untick DOF, transparency , shadows and the water displacement that can be located within the water section of you game loader settings pane---- If these items are not correctly switched off it will degenerate the on-screen image.

5. Now save and exit game--then it will load shaders correctly from here on. Starting from launcher only has to be done once for this install and then use your usual method for starting.

Be sure to leave HDR on - it is required for ALL ENBs to function properly.

---> If all the above is done than you will get my ENB running. Follow outline sequence carefully.

**If you do not see Boris\' Banner within the load screen -then you are not running his ENB correctly. If you are on Window 8 Use the injector files in the Boris download.

**Hit \" shift +f12\" to toggle between my ENB and the normal game for comparison.
**Hit pause/break key to toggle the SweetFx. PgUp key reloads shaders after an adjustment.

TO UNINSTALL- Remove all items from my mod and Boris\' ENB from your game install folder. If you had a previous d3d9.dll backed up then restore it. This does not affect your games saves. All should resume as before. NOTE that you will need erase your RenderInfo.txt and start from game launcher again to revert to original shaders.



**********NOTES AND ADDITIONAL OPTIONS********************
NOTE-- I always forget to tell folks to use the \"End\" key for screenshots. This key pics up all the data on the screen, other keys DO NOT.

IMPORTANT---The DOF sheet (enbeffectprepass.fx) within this ENB can be complicated and sometimes you may find yourself wanting something a bit more simple- I recommend looking up K ENB over here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30158/. Check out his Optional Depth-Of-Field - Full DOF Folder. Find the one you want and just swap mine out for that one you chose.
This can even be done while game is running and in pause.
