Original All Natural, up to version 0.6, by Chong Li.
All Natural 0.7 through to present by Wrinklyninja, Arthmoor, and Brumbek.

Description:

All Natural combines a robust custom weather system that allows the use of weather types from all existing weather mods with custom versions of Natural Interiors and Real Lights in order to provide the greatest weather/environment experience possible. The three segments of All Natural will be explained below:

1. Custom Weather System

The cornerstone of All Natural is unique weather system that includes a new regional weather script to keep the weather synced on interior/exterior switching and when fast traveling and a variety of optional features to help enhance and customize the user's weather experience. All Natural also allows you to choose from only vanilla weathers or from some or all the weather types from Natural Weather, Atmospheric Weather System, and Enhanced Weather.

2. Natural Interiors

Natural Interiors was originally created by Wormheart, and its purpose was to make it so interior locations such as houses and guilds would be affected by the weather outside and time of day, and to make it so interior locations had weather sounds inside very similarly to the original “Weather Inside” mod. To accomplish this, interior windows were made transparent and the sky outside now matched the exterior weather and time of day. The result is you can look out an interior window and see a sunset, stars, etc and also have the interior lighting level change based on it being sunny, cloudy, nighttime, etc, plus you can hear rain/storm sounds from within.Sadly, Natural Interiors was never finished and had some issues. However, All Natural now includes an improved and expanded version that cannot be found outside of All Natural. Also, the Natural Interiors segment of All Natural cannot be separated from All Natural, so you must use All Natural in full to benefit from the Natural Interiors segment.

3. Real Lights

Real Lights was an incredibly ambitious project by Josef K. which aimed to replace all the fake lighting (invisible lights with no actual light source) with real lights with real light sources. For example, with Real Lights locations have candles or other light sources that emit light instead of generic white light coming from mid-air.Sadly Real Lights was abandoned long ago and has some issues with save game bloating. However, the mod has now been included in All Natural and has been recently updated to fix all the problems it previously had. The All Natural version of Real Lights is the most updated and safe version of Real Lights and no one should use the older stand-alone version. The Real Lights segment of All Natural is the only segment you can actually use independently, so even if you want to use, say, Enhanced Weather, you can use the Real Lights plugin from All Natural. Instructions on how to do this are included in the installation section of this guide.

Man, this is a huge asset for the player. Just awesome. :celebration:

Thanks Arthmoor. :bowdown:



EDIT: I didn't see your last reply, but it's almost the same environment that you have a copy of from the real world to paste it into the Oblivion world.

Yes its much better but i have more pics to show...by the way how did you make the windows dark and one more thing you noticed how little space do windows offer to "view" of the outside was that meant to be like that ? You gonna expand it in future mods? After that probably gonna have to or should make for better cities too if you know what i mean? Or have you already worked on that too?
I hope you noticed but its kinda toooo dark in the inhabited places which is well annoying :shrug:

Just take a look its awful!
You noticed how my night sky is much brighter i gotta replace/fix that

[liz barnes]

The windows have some bad emmissive property settings on them. I fixed the one to see if it would work and now that we're sure that's the problem the others in Anvil can get fixed now too.

As far as darkness levels, those are deliberate. This is a candle using society so there's no justification for interiors to be bright enough to see by without lights. Of course the problems is, balancing it for night time use often makes the daytime experience a nuclear dawn nightmare.

there's light where there's sources for light. If it's too much of a problem, take out a torch or wait for daylight or get some night-eye, or some light spells. Yeah, it's supposed to be so you can see out the window and see the sky. Makes a lot more sense than the vanilla glowy blue windows.

I think that this is an issue with Oblivion's implementation of HDR, not with All Natural. I'm not sure anyone's really posted any "recommended tweaks" to the HDR settings in the .ini, but you can mess with it to make it work better.

[EDIT] And at the preceding post, those pictures don't look too dark to me. During the day, they're lit by the sun, so they're NOT that dark. When they ARE that dark is at night. Well, it's dark at night :shrug: If you don't like it, then don't use the Real Lights plugin, because that's kinda the whole point of Real Lights. There are still some interiors here and there that I think are just too dark, but they're very few and far between, and the buildings you've picced aren't among them.

[Matthew Warren]

now we need to make a mod where you bang your shins into furniture when you try and walk around in the dark.

[Nichola Haynes]

We had a discussion about suggested INI tweaks for altering interior lighting a while back...I have not link to it, so it would probably take forever to find...

[Chloe :)]

Oblivion.ini? Or an addition to All Natural's .ini? A config file setting for it would seem to eliminate the need for Let There Be Darkness completely, and at the same time provide a blanket change to every interior cell, regardless of plugin origin.

[MISS KEEP UR]

Oblivion.ini

[Tamika Jett]

I seem to remember Arwen's site having some advice re: ini settings for light intensity, blur radius and the like. Though I might be confusing that info for something else - I've got so much from so many places, then tinkered a lot as well...

edit: though that might've been simply to complement some mods. hm.

[Pumpkin]

I just browsed Arwen's site and I did not see anything about lighting. We only talked about a few settings...maybe two or four.

[Adam Porter]

Yeah but the places with lots of people are DARK! and thats normal to you?
Inn's filled with people and there are few sitting in some room and its dark....
Can i get rid of the daylight in interiors? If that can't be done then tell me how to get rid of the sky in interriors
There are just too many candles that don't give lighting

[Angela Woods]

I do not remember a problem with darkness and I use Real Lights, Wrye Bash, Darker Nights (through the INI) and HDR. I have not run this mod since December, however...

[Marquis deVille]

tweaks for reasonable HDR:

10) Reducing HDR exposure
HDR is sweet, but a little overpowering inside. Set the following under [BlurShaderHDRInterior] only:

fBlurRadius=6.0000 (default 7.0000)
fBrightScale=1.7500 (default 2.2500)

took them from here: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Feature/36546,optimising-oblivion-v20.aspx/3

someone please save this info somewhere

edit: stupid forum doesn't like that weblink because of the comma instead of a dot. but it's indeed a comma and it won't work with a dot.

[carla]

I remember discussing those...Those numbers, the settings are unfamiliar to me. Well, at least I know which to tweak now. I have to bookmark this because there is no way I will remember when the time comes for me to make these changes. Thanks for posting this.

It may seem strange to you, but up until the invention of the lightbulb (1879), that is how things were. It got really dark when the sun set, and you either just went to bed, lit a fire, or lit some candles. Candles were expensive too, so you wouldn't have bought that many, if you could afford to use them at all. I don't see what's so wrong about people sitting in the dark, isn't that what you do in a power cut?

As for getting rid of the daylight in interiors, you might as well uninstall All Natural - the interior effects are a good 1/3 of the whole mod, and aren't something you can pick and choose with.

If you've got unlit candles, the only way they're ever going to be lit is if you tell Arthmoor which candles they are and where they are, so he can take a look at them.

@ Gekko64: Thanks for those values. I'll see if they stop the nuclear interiors I've seen a couple of times.

[yessenia hermosillo]

no problem guys, always glad to help a little bit

[jenny goodwin]

If you've got unlit candles, the only way they're ever going to be lit is if you tell Arthmoor which candles they are and where they are, so he can take a look at them.

This. Contrary to popular belief, I am not psychic, nor can I identify locations by sight in screenshots (most of the time anyway). If you have one that's too bright, or too dark, identify it clearly. The very least I need is city and interior name. If it's a dungeon, I need the exact dungeon name, though I seriously doubt there's going to be a lot of issues in dungeons.

[Jani Eayon]

Didn't I already say that in the pictures?
Anvil, Imperial City,....

[lydia nekongo]

Didn't I already say that in the pictures?

Sorry, but you stated that there is a lot of candles without light. Arthmoor needs precise identification of such candles. E.g. in IC Merchant Inn screenshots I just can't see any unlit candle. So your statement is not very helpful, is it. Or just uninstall Real Lights part of All Natural.

[Roddy]

I can confirm window textures with non-zero emissive maps in Anvil interiors. Looks funny when it's sunny too.
