Volumetric_SSGI.fx=1

Ring_SSAO.fx=0

Ring_SSAO-q.fx=0

I am using standalone so i can modify them too, but its scary looking, just looking for general advice, thank you =)

For example should i use SSAO SSGI and SSII together?

Is there some specific reason you're using OBGE instead of http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45749/?? OBGE is no longer being updated and Reloaded is the successor.

No.

Volumetric_SSGI.fx is a merge of Volumetric_SSAO & Volumetric_SSII. http://wayback.archive.org/web/20120429003910/http://obge.paradice-insight.us/wiki/Lighting_(Effects) (Wayback Machine).

simply because i didnt know

i dont want to restart my game (save) and reinstall nehrim so i'll just stick with OBGE for now =) its an old game, i;ll use what i got

You don't have to restart the game!

Just uninstall OBGE and install Oblivion Reloaded and you can keep your savegame.

i just dont want to screw anything up... is it that much better? can it work with Nehrim?

Its certainly much faster and lighter on systems resources, but tbh I wouldn't mess with my game either....

As for the shaders you might want to check new Godrays v7 shader - http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1507792-godrays-v07-update/

It can work with Nehrim (I use it too), but since the author has not yet released a "Nehrim" esp, you need to make a little change with the CS. Nothing difficult.

Consider it a little extra work, but for a muuuuuch greater payback.

It has many improvements over OBGE:

- It is about 4 times faster and lighter than OBGE

- Support AA, as opposite to OBGE

- Remove the Vanilla limitation HDR + AA

- Add/fix many new great shader, like the snow, blood, grass and rain shaders.

- Fix the Vanilla bugs with Windowed Mode. Now you can ALT+Tab out of Oblivion and the top bar has been removed.

- Fix the Vanilla bugs with FOV

- Many other improvement and fixes

- It is supported and updated (while OBGE is completely abandoned)

I guess you should consider the idea of replacing OBGE with OR (which is OBGE successor, anyway).

The update is painless, and many (if not all) shader settings can be ported.
