  • 2 different folders:
  • Without Indoor Optimization:
  • This contains the files that do not change or turn off the DOF effect in interiors in any way,
  • only recommended for PCs that don\'t get a slow down because of the effect indoors, you will have to test that yourself.
  • With Indoor Optimization (RECOMMENDED)
  • This completely turns off the DOF effect indoors, speeding up FPS.
  • NOTE: Insane Esps are not intended to work perfectly, no complaining if you see a visual glitch!

  • INSTRUCTIONS
  • ------------
  • Installation:
  • 1. Open the .rar file you downloaded
  • 2. Drag, or extract the file you would like to use to your data folder(you can also extract all of them, and then pick one later).
  • 3. Repeat with other .rar file if you downloaded one.
  • 4. Open Fallout 3 Launcher, or FOMM, go to Data Files, and tick the checkbox next to the 2 files you choose.
  • 5. Run the game...
  • Uninstallation:
  • Either-
  • 1. Uncheck the 2 files you chose in Data Files
  • OR
  • 2. Go to your data folder, usually C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda softworks\\Fallout 3\\Data and delete the 2 files you chose before.
  • -------------
  • INCOMPATIBILITY
  • -------------
  • Motion Blur-
  • None.
  • Depth Of Field-
  • StapleNinja\'s DOF(Why would you combine them?)
  • -------------
  • FUTURE PLANS IN ORDER
  • -------------
  • Option to automatically turn off Motion Blur indoors (just in case)
  • Optional file:
  • Drug Effects-
  • Visuals activate when taking certain drugs, i.e. More saturation for Jet, Inverted(Almost) colours for Psycho, Double Vision for any alcohol, etc.
  • Include a menu, for only 1 ESP file
  • ------------------
  • CHANGELOG
  • ------------------
  • V1. 1b:
  • Interior optimization ESPS (in the folder Depth of Field-With Indoor Optimization) should no longer be slower than the other ESPs outdoors (Depth of Field-WithOUT Indoor Optimization). I FULLY recommend these.
  • V1. 1:
  • Subtle Motion Blur FPS Drop Fixed (If other Motion Blur files gave you any slowdowns then these are fixed too).
  • Depth Of Field With no Indoor optimization now available, for people where it runs smooth indoors anyways.
  • Motion blur option Insane added.
  • Motion blur reduced in general.
  • New Optional file added:-V. A. T. S. DOF effect.
  • There should be less FPS redcution!
  • V1. 0:
  • Distances Adjusted correctly.
  • Added Insane option for DOF. Causes graphical anomalies!
  • 0. 75 Bet
