Lighting and other ini tweaks

Post » Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:19 pm

Hey all,
I am playing Morrowind again and if I remember correctly there were certain changes that can be made to the .ini file to get quadratic lighting and the like. Anyway, if I could get some recommendations or a link to these .ini tweaks that would be great. Thanks!

Well, I actually use a combo of all three lighting methods. Constant, Linear and Quadratic. Back up your .ini file and give these a try to see if you like them.

I use the following tweaks, they are used in connection with Nightime settings much darker, and Vurt's Weather tweaks as well.

But once you use Constant, doesn't it cancel out any Linear/Quadratic settings?
As far as I know, Constant is either On or Off. If you use it, other tweaks are ignored.

But there is http://www.yacoby.net/es/forum/12/6046021166065800.html from the archives too and it doesn't look like it's just using constant to me.

I don't see where it says that in the archive?? Anyway, both linear and quadratic are definitely working also. If I only had that small of a constant it would be VERY dark. It looks great. Give it a try, if you don't like it you can always revert.

I meant the Archive has a great conversation on the entire subject, not just the use of Constant.
But that's good to know that all three can be used. I haven't tweaked my lighting in over a year, so I wasn't sure exactly how Constant behaved. Thanks for the tip.
