Specular Lighting and NPC's : IV

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:36 am

Is there a way to remove specular lighting on NPC's? other than turning HDR off of course.

Try the "reasonable HDR" tweaks here - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/?page=oblivion_ini_tweaks

I need to reapply those myself (just started rebuilding my setup.)

TL, I used those settings and still found the HDR too strong. I think you're using the same brand of monitor I am (ASUS), can you tell me if you like the HDR settings once you've made the adjustments? I'd like to run HDR but it's way too strong inside and out (even after adjusting). I wasn't sure if there were other settings that could be tweaked as well...

Have you seen RPG-BlackDragon's HDR? Man, if I could get that to work. There is some sort of shader incompatibility though...with the newer GPUs I think...

No, is that on Nexus? What would I search for?

It used to be on a site called OblivionModGods or something. That site seems to be down now, however. Coincidentally, a number of RPG-BlackDragon's mods have reappeared at TESNexus. You can do a search for it and see the beautiful screenies though. :L I really need to find better HDR settings because my pale PC is a walking light splotch near high noon...

Ok, I'll try a search by author. Yeah I'm having a real hard time finding ghosts and will-o-wisps and stuff. I'm going to have to shut off HDR until I get this resolved - I need sunglasses. Hey, I'm wearing sunglasses at night... If you don't get the reference, that's ok, you're probably too young

EDIT: Lots of tatoos, but no HDR... I'll try a google search.

Is http://www.filefront.com/7324943/RPG-Blackdragons-ATI3.0-Shader/ what you are looking for?

No, I don't think so. I managed to find that one. It's this http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1369&sid=f67175a808452518994274b12e50cfa7, I believe. But the only download site doesn't exist anymore. I found references in several places, but they all point to the same non-existent site. As Tomlong said, there seemed to be some issues with newer cards, so maybe they didn't worry about keeping it around anymore.

Yeah, but it sure looks pretty. I guess you can achieve a similar effect through ScreenEffects, but I am simply not ready to through that new variable (OBGE) into my setup anytime soon...
